True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1143

"Daddy!" Maria rushed to him as soon as she saw him.

"Slow down," Zachary instructed in a deep voice, and immediately bent down to pick her up. "Didn't I tell you to move slower? Why can't you change this reckless behavior of yours?"

"I miss you." Maria held Zachary's neck with strong attachment and affection. "I miss you so much, Daddy."

Zachary was startled and looked towards Yvonne's direction subconsciously.

Maria felt guilty and continued to say, "Daddy, I miss Grandma as well. Let's go home. I don't want to stay here."

Her Daddy had asked her to have a good talk with her Mommy, and to say it out directly if she missed her very much.

However, she didn't do that.

She did miss her Mommy, but she didn't want to tell her about it.

It was because she was still very angry.

There was still no way to calm herself down, since she was still angry upon thinking about it.

Yvonne's heart was filled with envy, as she observed how affectionate Zachary and Maria were with each other.

She had raised Maria for five years, but all this could not compare with one single year that she spent with Zachary.

Yvonne felt sour about it but she quickly suppressed her feelings and gazed at them in a gentle manner.

The wind at night wasn't cold, but it felt gentle.

A warm feeling slowly spread into her heart as she thought to herself. "Wasn't this what she had always wished for?"

Zachary's gaze fell on Yvonne. She was five or six meters away from them and didn't seem like she intended to rush over to the both of them. She simply stared at them from afar with obvious envy in her eyes.

Even though they were separated by a great distance, Zachary could still feel it easily.

His gaze deepened a little as he looked at his daughter and asked, "Why did you come down so quickly?"

"I want to go home." Maria felt guilty under her father's gaze. So, she leaned into his neck and whispered, "Let's go home now, Daddy."

Zachary wanted to say something, but she clutched his collar tightly.

As a result, Zachary's words were stuck in his throat.

He could only stare at Yvonne.

Yvonne was still standing there with a gloomy look in her eyes.

She was very envious of the fact that he could hug Maria so easily. Now, it was a luxury and a dream for her to be able to hug Maria.

"Okay, I will take you home now." Zachary decided not to force her and said calmly, "Come, let's go home now."

"Sure." Maria nodded her head immediately in a very well-behaved manner.

"Enter the car first." Zachary carried her into the car, closed the door of the car, and then turned to look at Yvonne.

Yvonne remained there and stared at him blankly.

With a flash of light in his eyes, Zachary said, "You can go back now. I'm bringing Maria home."

He only gave her a quick glance. Hethen turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Yvonne suddenly spoke.

Zachary was shocked and turned around slowly.

Yvonne walked over quickly and she breathed in a slightly rapid manner. She looked at him with her chest still rising and falling. She then blurted out, "Thank you, Zachary. Thank you for sending her here to see me. Although she still doesn't want to forgive me, I'm really grateful to be able to see her. Thank you so much."

Zachary's pupils were dark and deep, as his face appeared gloomy as well. It was difficult to decipher his emotions. He simply stood there and looked at Yvonne from above, which made her feel like avoiding his gaze.

"You have raised her so much better than I did," Yvonne said, pursing her lips. "You really raised her well. Thank you."

Zachary neither moved nor said anything.

It felt particularly quiet in the air.
