Chapter 1127
Seeing the light, the receptionist uttered with a smile, “That sounds about right. The child must be his wife’s nephew. I can’t believe the CEO would bring his nephew to the office. People would think he was carrying his own son by the gentle way he held the child.” “He might be dying to be a father… Maybe the missus is pregnant, and he is doing a practice run on caring for a child. He probably wants to be a very involved father.” The other receptionist was shocked. Was it possible? Deep in his sleep, Sonny did not wake up during the car ride and the walk to the office. His uncle finally laid him down on the bed in the private resting room. Zachary bent over to take off Sonny’s shoes and socks before removing his jacket. He also tucked the boy under the blanket. The sight of the adorable child only made Zachary’s heart melt. He leaned forward to kiss Sonny on the cheek. “Sonny, I want to have a little boy or little girl with your aunt every time I look at you.” The boy a

Duncan was without a word. Since Duncan’s purpose of being here was to talk about partnership with his best friend, the pair soon got right into it. Once the duo ironed out all the kinks, Duncan was ready to leave and said, “I’m going to check on Sonny again. I’ll take him out for some fun if he’s awake.” “You take him out? I bet he will cry his eyes out while you panic and rush to send him back.” Duncan choked. That was right. Sonny did not take kindly to his hugs. Nevertheless, Duncan went into the private resting room once again. It did not take him long to yell from inside, “Zachary! Zachary! Hurry!” “What’s the matter?” His outcry gave Zachary a scare. Zachary jumped to his feet and raced into the private resting room. “Sonny wet the bed. Look at the pool of pee on the bed sheet,” Duncan told his best friend as he pointed at the child on the bed.Zachary was lost for words. He drew close and removed his jacket before picking Sonny up. Zachary then took off So

With his dark eyes sparkling, Sonny asked, “Why can’t boys wear dresses?” Duncan replied, “That’s because dresses are for girls.” Sonny turned his attention to Duncan. Zachary grabbed a pair of pants and picked Sonny up to help him into the pants. He said, “That’s because boys have to do a lot of heavy lifting, and doing the work in a dress makes it quite difficult.” “Why are boys doing the heavy lifting?” “Boys have to do the hard work, so the girls don’t have to. We leave the lighter load to your mom and your aunt.” Somewhat getting the idea, Sonny answered, “I’ll do the heavy lifting when I grow up, so Mom and Aunt Ser get less work.” Zachary remarked with a smile, “Good boy, Sonny.” Duncan had no words. Ring, ring, ring…The intercom phone was ringing. Putting Sonny down, Zachary got up to take the call. He quickly put down the phone and told Sonny, “Your mom’s here, Sonny.” “Mom’s here.” Hearing that his mother had arrived, the little guy immediately st

Getting on bended knee, Liberty asked her son, “Were you a good boy? Did you bother your uncle?” “I’ve been a good boy… But I wet my pants, Mom.” Sonny looked embarrassed when he mentioned this. Liberty inquired, “Were you sitting anywhere?” “Uncle’s bed.” Liberty was speechless. “Dunc bought me a lot of new clothes and a dress. We can keep the dress for Aunt Ser’s baby girl.” Liberty had no words. Duncan shopped for clothes for her son, and it included a dress too. How dense was the guy to buy a dress for a boy? Not the least bit awkward, Duncan drew close and handed the bag of clothes to Liberty. He then scooped Sonny up and told Liberty, “Come on. I’ll walk you two out.” Liberty kept up the pace. “I took my e-bike.“Mr. Lewis, how much were the clothes? Let me pay you back.” “It’s fine. They aren’t worth much.” “I should, though.” Liberty insisted on returning the money to him. Duncan hesitated for a moment before uttering, “I spent almost two thousan

Serenity woke up hungry. As she regained her senses, she habitually touched her side but did not feel the wolf. She tilted her head to look and saw that the pillow next to hers was empty. There was no warmth even under the blanket. That wolf had gotten up long ago. Serenity thought the sky had just turned bright, but when she took her phone to check the time, she froze for a while and then sat up abruptly. It was almost noon! No wonder she felt hungry. Given that she had slept so long and just woken up, it would only be strange if she was not hungry. Zachary did not wake her up. Serenity quickly took a set of clothes into the bathroom to change into them. Following that, she washed up and hurried downstairs without putting on any makeup. While she was still on the stairs, her phone rang. It was the wolf who had called. “Zachary.” Serenity stopped to answer his call. As soon as she did, she complained about him in a low voice, “You didn’t wake me when you got u

Jim walked to Serenity’s front and stopped, then he handed a small transparent bag containing a dozen strands of Old Mr. Hunt’s hair to Serenity and said, “Missus, this is what Mr. Zachary ordered me to do when he left home this morning. It’s done.” “These are? My granddad’s hair?” Serenity asked as she took the bag. The result of her discussion with Zachary last night was that she decided to use Noah to help them obtain Old Mr. Hunt’s hair. Afterward, she would take them for a DNA test. “Yes.” Serenity thanked Jim and asked, “Noah was willing to help?” “He’s quite afraid of you, Missus. I brought you up to scare him, then he conscientiously went to pluck a dozen strands of his grandpa’s hair.” As for how Noah coaxed Old Mr. Hunt into letting him pluck his hair, Jim was not bothered. Jim only wanted the result. Serenity laughed. “That kid is just young and impetuous. He doesn’t have a bad nature.” Noah was still two or three months short of turning eighteen. He was in

Zachary said, “I hope you can get Nana’s reward of five hundred million.” Serenity pondered the question and said after a while, “Your family hasn’t had a daughter for generations. Perhaps it just runs in the family. Your family might just be fated to have sons only.” Zachary fell silent for a while before he said, “It’s possible. Our ancestor had a daughter but failed to raise her. Ever since that child passed, no one in the family has given birth to a girl. I remember my little aunt watched her diet closely before she gave birth to Rowan. She ate a lot of acidic food, saying that it’ll promote the conception of a daughter. “Her pregnancy with Rowan was also different from her first two pregnancies. Everyone thought she would give birth to a daughter. When the fetus took shape, we sought advice from an acquaintance. When that person said that it was a girl, everyone went crazy with joy.” Zachary recounted what happened that year. “I was a teenager at that time, so I had a part

Zachary’s nana had found a fortune-teller in the past to tell Zachary and Serenity’s fortune. Would he have a way to solve the problem? He should more or less know something, right? Nonetheless, someone who only had a superficial knowledge of this probably would not be able to help the Yorks solve this problem. The husband and wife chatted about having a daughter. Before they knew it, they were back in front of Wiltspoon School. Zachary sent Serenity into the store. He also needed to go back to work, so he did not stay for long before he left. Serenity could not help but chuckle when she thought about how she and her husband were talking about having a daughter during their whole journey here. “What’s so funny that is making you giggle? Tell me and make me happy too.” Jasmine placed some sweet treats in front of Serenity. “Josh had someone send these over to me for tea.” “Mr. Bucham treats you very well. He’s considerate and obedient.” Serenity took a piece of the tre
