“It’s late, let’s all get some sleep,” Audrey suggested to everyone.
Although everyone was usually a night owl and wasn’t feeling particularly tired, they all took Audrey’s advice. Those staying at the Queen family’s home returned to their guest rooms, while the others headed back to their usual hotels.
Zachary, who was staying at Fortress Hotel, returned to his room and had just sat down on the sofa when his phone rang.
He guessed it was his beloved wife calling.
Sure enough, the caller ID confirmed it was a video call from Serenity.
His serious, handsome face immediately softened as he answered the video call.
The first thing he saw was Sonny’s little face.
“Uncle!”
Sonny beamed with happiness when he saw Zachary. He smiled and called out to him, then turned and said, “Aunt, it’s Uncle.”
Serenity leaned in closer to the camera so Zachary could see her. “Are you back at the hotel?” she asked.
Zachary nodded. “I just got back from the meeting and had barely sat down when I got your call. Sonny, it’s late—why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Sonny replied, “I don’t have to go to kindergarten tomorrow. I’m on winter vacation!” During his vacation, both his mother and aunt allowed him to stay up a little later.
Seeing Zachary’s tired face, Serenity said with concern, “You’re working so hard, don’t wear yourself out. Sonny will feel bad if you’re too exhausted.”
Sonny echoed, “Yes, I will feel bad for my uncle.”
Zachary smiled. “Sonny, thank you for caring about me. Seren, don’t you feel bad for me too?” Serenity replied, somewhat evasively, “When you come back, I’ll cook you something delicious.”
In reality, she felt more concern for him than anyone.
And of course, he felt the same for her.
Their love was mutual, deep, and enduring.
“Just wait for me to pick you up, and then you can make me something delicious. Is our baby being well-behaved?”
Though the couple hadn’t been apart for long, it felt to Zachary like it had been years.
Even though they had been married for a while, being away from Serenity made him feel a deep longing, almost unbearable.
“Well, if you don’t come to pick Sonny and me up, we’ll spend New Year’s at FC Manor.
Sonny’s so happy here; he plays with Titus every day and almost forgets where he’s from. Our baby is growing day by day, and the movements are getting stronger. We’ll see how obedient they are once they’re born. But based on these movements, I think our baby might be quite mischievous.”
“It’s fine. Weren’t we all a bit naughty when we were young? They say mischievous kids are smarter. Our child will be very smart,” Zachary said lovingly. Whether their child was naughty or not, he would cherish them deeply. After all, this child was the product of his love with Serenity.
“Uncle, you don’t love me anymore,” Sonny pouted. “You hardly talked to me and asked more about the baby in Aunt Seren’s belly.”
Sonny pouted, looking jealous. Right now, he was everyone’s favorite, but he worried that when his little brother was born, and Aunt Jasmine’s baby too, they might take away some of the love and attention.
Still, Sonny was curious about meeting these little brothers.
