Chapter 55
Jessica knew Steven would always have Zachary’s back regardless of his mistakes. Her mind was racing. She reminded herself to slow down and be patient.
At first, Steven might spoil Zachary a little, but sooner or later, he’d likely get tired of Zachary. Jessica was sure she couldn’t change her plans.
She playfully pinched Zachary’s cheek and said gently, “I promise I’ll treat you just like Cody from now on, deal?”
Zachary nodded eagerly. “Deal!”
Steven patted Jessica’s hand, telling her to hang on. Then, he set Zachary down from his arms. “Go grab some dinner.”
Zachary joyfully sprinted to the living room.
Jessica glanced at Steven before turning to head into the bedroom
“Jessica ” Steven closed the door and wrapped her in a hug from behind. “Kids don’t really understand. Please don’t hold it against
him.”
Jessica scoffed. “It’s obviously his fault-
“But can you stand to see him go hungry?” Steven’s voice was gentle.
Jessica stayed quiet.
Steven continued, “I get that this has been hard on you, so just let me
let me know what you need, and I’ll handle it.”
“I want to hire a nanny and a driver,” Jessica said, turning to him. “I’m pregnant and can’t do it all by myself.”
“Sure,” Steven replied affectionately.
