Zachary didn’t have to go to work, allowing the couple to spend the entire day together, almost as if they were conjoined. They enjoyed breakfast in their room before heading downstairs together. Zachary made sure to pack the dishes and take them down.
While Tania held Sonny, she and Liam chatted with Liberty and Duncan in the hallway on the first floor. Serenity overheard her mother-in-law, distressed, saying from the stairs, “Sonny has lost a little weight recently. You should eat more at lunch, Sonny. You’re home for the holidays these two days, so eat and drink well. You’ve lost so much weight that it pains me to see you like this.”
Liberty smiled and replied, “Auntie, he hasn’t lost weight; he’s actually gained a few kilograms.”
It’s common for older generations to feel that the younger ones are underweight, prompting them to encourage more eating.
“Sonny isn’t overweight either. Plus, children look adorable with a little baby fat. I adore chubby, fair-skinned little ones.” After saying this, Tania kissed Sonny’s cheek and added, “Sonny, don’t listen to your mother; you’re not fat at all. You should eat more so you can grow tall.”
Sonny sweetly replied, “Grandma, I eat really well, even better than my aunt.”
“Really? You can eat more than me? We’ll have to have a competition later to see who eats more,” Serenity chimed in, taking over the conversation.
Sonny looked up and saw his aunt coming down the stairs, and he quickly slipped out of Tania’s arms to run over to Serenity, filled with joy.
The adults repeatedly cautioned Sonny not to run too fast and to be careful not to fall. Tania, concerned about her daughter-in-law rushing down the stairs, reminded Serenity, “Be careful where you step.”
You step.”
Serenity had already descended the stairs when Sonny rushed over to her, extending his arms for a hug. **Book chapters are updated daily! Join us and stay informed about all book updates…**
The servant noticed the tray Zachary was holding and quickly stepped forward to take it from him, heading to the kitchen to clean it.
As soon as Serenity picked up Sonny, Zachary lifted him into his arms, and Sonny happily settled there.
“Seren, Sonny is getting heavier. If he continues like this, you should hold him less,” Zachary said gently. Then he addressed Sonny, “Sonny, your little sister in your aunt’s belly hasn’t been born yet. So, don’t let your aunt hug you too much or your uncle either.”
Sonny didn’t feel upset when his uncle took him from his aunt. When he heard Zachary mention his little sister, he replied earnestly, “Uncle, my aunt doesn’t have a little sister in her belly.”
Zachary asked, “Why don’t you have a little sister?”
“There isn’t a little sister; there’s only a little brother,” Sonny responded.
Zachary questioned, “Are you sure there’s no little sister?”
Sonny recalled that when he met Alice, he also mentioned that Alice had a little brother in her belly, and it turned out she indeed gave birth to a son.
Sonny articulated his thoughts well. Although he understood it might be challenging for his aunt to have a daughter, he still held onto some hope before the child was born. However, Sonny’s statement shattered Zachary’s expectations.
Sonny continued, “But my mom said my uncle likes my little sister, so she told me not to mention in front of you that the baby in my aunt’s belly is a little brother. She said my uncle would be happy if I said it was a little sister. Still, my mom and teacher also told me that children shouldn’t lie. I should be honest; I am an honest child.”
