Sonny behaved like an honest child. After finishing his speech, he looked directly at Zachary and asked thoughtfully, “Uncle, are you angry?”

“Because my aunt didn’t have a little sister.”

Zachary walked over with Sonny in his arms and sat down on the sofa, placing Sonny on his lap.

He waited until Serenity settled beside him before responding to Sonny’s question.

Zachary replied, “Uncle is not angry. Although uncles tend to prefer daughters, sons are also wonderful. It would be lovely for your aunt to have a little brother as adorable as you.”

In truth, Zachary didn’t dare to harbor any expectations.

It was only after Grandma invited the master to tell their fortunes that the couple began to entertain such extravagant hopes.

As Serenity put it, the couple had fallen in love for a year before becoming pregnant, and regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, it was the product of their love.

Sonny let out a sigh of relief.

He slipped off Zachary’s lap, walked over to Liberty, and said, “Mom, neither aunt nor uncle are angry. Please don’t teach me to lie in the future.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Liberty blushed as she smiled.

She reached out and pinched Sonny’s cheek, saying, “Go out and play, but don’t wander too far.”

Sonny pouted, “It’s no fun being alone. Mom, why can’t you stay with me?”

Liberty replied, “Mom wants to chat with your aunt, so you should go out and play by yourself.”

Sonny still didn’t want to leave. Wildridge Manor was enjoyable, but being there alone made it less lively.

Zachary said with a smile, “Your Ninth Uncle Rowan is on

It is vacation week. He should wake up at this time. You can go to your Ninth Uncle to play, or ask the butler to help invite your little friends over to the playground.

Many of the workers at York’s house have children. However, they often hesitate to let their kids enter the manor to play in the children’s playground, even though the owner is very kind, unless they receive an invitation. For instance, when Sonny visits, the butler allows the workers’ children to enter the manor and enjoy the amusement park with Sonny for a few days.

Typically, if Rowan and Grandma May are home, the children are permitted to come in and play, but the butler instructs them to stay in the children’s amusement park and not run around, as it might upset Rowan. Both the butler and the workers remind their children of these rules.

When Sonny learned that Zachary was home on vacation, he immediately said, “I’m going to play with Uncle Rowan.” Although Rowan is still a teenager and not yet an adult, he enjoys playing with Sonny, who loves spending time with him.

Zachary instructed the butler to take Sonny to his third uncle Bowen’s house. This way, Rowan could entertain Sonny without disrupting the adults’ conversation. Sonny dashed out excitedly.

Zachary turned to Duncan and remarked, “Duncan, you haven’t been here in a while. You and my sister should visit more often.” Tania chimed in about Duncan: “You, Zack, and Josh are the best buddies. You guys have drifted apart lately, so it’s essential to stay in touch.”

Everyone understood that Duncan’s infrequent visits to Wildridge Manor were due to his mobility challenges. He was concerned that his presence would be a burden…

would impact everyone’s mood and necessitate that others look after him, which would bring everyone down.
