Serenity laughed and remarked, “I don’t think Avah slapped her brother intentionally.”

Jane joined in the laughter, saying, “This kid just loves to cry; he’s on par with Fabian. These two buddies have become our family’s little crying cats.”

Fabian had a penchant for crying, and Serenity was well aware of it.

Fabian’s tears frightened Lilian the most, making her want to hide whenever he cried.

She found refuge in Wiltspoon. After healing Camryn’s eyes, she chose not to return to FC Manor right away.

She mentioned that she would head back after attending Serenity and Zachary’s wedding, noting that Fabian was being looked after by an experienced old doctor.

This old genius doctor had more experience with children than Lilian, having raised her himself. After Lilian took Titus on as an apprentice, she entrusted him to the old doctor’s care and guidance.

Lilian took a hands-off approach, occasionally testing Titus’s skills.

Titus was about the same age as Sonny, but his memory and understanding far surpassed Sonny’s; otherwise, Lilian wouldn’t have chosen him as her apprentice.

Lilian had met Sonny and told Serenity that he was well-suited for the business world, especially with his uncle Zachary around, which promised a bright future for him.

Serenity replied, “Children always behave this way when they’re young. They love to cry. Sonny was the same way as a baby; he cried eight hundred times a day.”

“Auntie, may I hold Avah?” Elisa asked tentatively, seeking permission from her future mother-in-law.

Alannah readily agreed, smiling as she said, “Avah is very easy to carry.”

Elisa hugged the little girl, feeling a bit hesitant to move since she rarely held such a small child.

“I’m afraid to hold her in my arms. I worry she might slip from my grasp,” he admitted.

Alannah smiled and reassured him, “It’s alright, you can hug her.”

Serenity welcomed the Johnson family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the house.

The little crying cat, Enzo, finally stopped whining once they entered.

“Is Miss Liberty not home?” Jane inquired.

Serenity replied, “My sister is out. Her restaurant is quite busy, and there’s something urgent she needs to attend to. Sonny went to kindergarten. He was complaining before leaving, saying that if even his uncle doesn’t have to go back to the company, why should he have to go to kindergarten?”

Jane chuckled and said, “His uncle is on paternity leave; what does that have to do with him being a child?”

Serenity explained, “He just thinks it’s normal for adults to work and for children to go to kindergarten. If the adults aren’t working and he still has to go, he finds it strange. You didn’t bring Titus with you this time, right? Oh, and Titus has to go to kindergarten too.”

Serenity smiled and continued, “I visited your place during summer vacation. After Sonny returned, he often talked about Titus. Sometimes, when he misbehaved, my sister would compare him to Titus.”

Sonny viewed Titus as his rival.

Although they were both young, Sonny recognized that Titus was more knowledgeable and mature than he was. This realization surprised him.

He no longer wanted to go to kindergarten, as Liberty pointed out that he struggled to concentrate and was only half-hearted about it. How…

Could he be compared to Titus? The little guy sulked, strapped on his small schoolbag, and headed to kindergarten obediently. Jane remarked, “Titus frequently thinks about Sonny and even asks me when Sonny will come over to play again.”
