Chapter 866
Chapter 867
Zachary recalled that Serenity had personally brought the glass from the kitchen. She managed to carry it without breaking it, even though the drink was steaming hot. The warm water must have been intended to help him feel better.
Although Serenity was angry and giving him the cold shoulder, refusing to forgive him, her small gestures indicated to Zachary that she was not as heartless as she pretended to be.
With this thought in mind, Zachary felt a bit more at ease.
As Sonny leaned forward, Zachary quickly moved the glass aside to prevent any spills of hot water.
Sonny wanted to open the bag of snacks.
Zachary pulled the bag closer and opened it for him.
“Thank you, Uncle Zack,” Sonny said.
Reaching into the grocery bag, Sonny handed Zachary a pack of chips, saying, “This is for you, Uncle Zack. Aunt Ser said it’s tasty p>
Aunt Ser rarely bought him chips, often saying that too much junk food wasn’t good for him.
So why did Aunt Ser frequently indulge in a bag for herself?
After Zachary accepted the bag of chips, Sonny fished out a few more bags and handed them to him. The little boy then slid off Zachary’s lap and struggled to carry the grocery bag filled with remaining snacks, declaring, “This is all mine p>
Liberty chuckled as she took the bag from her son, saying, “The bag is heavier than you. Put it here. You can’t have any tonight, but you can have some tomorrow. If you eat them all at once, you’ll spoil your dinner p>
She then turned to Zachary. “Sonny doesn’t share. He might make exceptions for a few kids, but definitely not with adults p>
Zachary had always maintained a serious demeanor while interacting with Sonny from the very beginning. However, Sonny was not intimidated by him; in fact, the little boy got along quite well with Zachary.
In contrast, despite meeting Duncan several times, Sonny still couldn’t bring himself to look Duncan in the eye.
human relationships often seemed perplexing.
Zachary spread out the few bags he received from Sonny and said, “Sonny, I don’t really like snacks. You can have them back p>
Sonny quickly grabbed the junk food and stuffed it back into the grocery bag, which made Zachary chuckle.
He then climbed back into his mother’s arms, and soon, his young body succumbed to tiredness as he dozed off in her embrace.
Zachary didn’t want to leave, but with Sonny asleep and his wife shut away in the room, it felt awkward for him and his sister-in-law to sit in silence. After finishing his drink, he stood up and said, “I have to go, Liberty p>
“Sure. Drive safely,” she replied, rising to her feet while cradling her son to see Zachary off.
He walked away, telling Liberty she didn’t need to see him off. Despite his focus on Serenity’s bedroom door, his hopes were dashed when it remained closed, blocking the way for her beautiful figure to emerge.
Zachary sighed, feeling as though their argument had lasted an eternity, even though it had only been a couple of days.
It had certainly been difficult.
Instead of returning to his place at Regent Residences, he headed to Brynfield, where he had stayed with Serenity since they signed their marriage papers.
The couple had shared many moments in that house.
As he pushed the door open into the darkness, Zachary was transported back to their wedding day when he had come home to find Serenity had locked him out.
In that moment, he had forgotten he had a wife, just as she had neglected to remember she had a husband.
At that time, their marriage had been one of convenience, and although they were polite, they had remained distant.
Now, reflecting on those moments, they felt surprisingly close.
Dear to him.
