"Alright, then," she said.

Zane passed the phone back to me, saying offhandedly as he did so, "I know you like her, but don't spoil her too much."

He had put the phone on speaker just now, so had also heard their enthie conversation

I couldn't help but laugh, replying, "Alright."

Sirting in the same office every day, I would see many people coming and going, whether it was to report to Zane on work issues or ask him to make certain decisions. Sometimes, when people came to visit him, he would have to leave to discuss work matters with them

It was true that he could any spare any time outside of work, and I didn't want to increase his workload, either.

Zane's eyes were filled with complex emotions, but he held back in the end

At the entrance of the kindergarten, I had just gotten out of the car when a familiar teacher approached me.

Holly stepped in my way and said right off the hat, "I have something I'd like to discuss with y you regarding your child. Would it be convenient for you?

Holly wanted to talk to me about Willow? Of course I had the time it was for her, so replied, "Yes"

She led over to add

Once she saw that nobody was around, she whispered, "Zachary was feeling well and was sent to the hospital. You're his guardian, so I think you should be more attentive to him!" Her tone was full of coldcium, as if I were some irresponsible parent. "Ms. Dawson," I said, taking the initiative to correct her. "You seem to have misunderstood something I'm Willow's guardian, not Zachary's."

Hally hurriedly interjected, 'But

I didn't want to hear what she had to say, so simply continued coldly, "Don't forget. When I came to pick Zachary up back then, you were watching as they called the police on me. You were also watching as was arrested and taken to the police station "Also, he acknowledged Jessica as his mother, so you've got yourself the wrong person. I suggest you contact Jessica for any matters related to Zachary,"

Lastly, Ladded, "But you can certainly come to me about any matters related in Willow"

Holly watched my treating back, still dazedly rooted to her spot.

By the time Willow was done playing with Penelope, the sky was alread

Once we were in the car, Willow hugged me as she said, "Mommy, Zachary cried really badly in school today. He kept saying things like, 'Mommy, I know I'm wrong' and 'Monamy, please forgive me. All our classmates felt really sorry for him " Willow pursed her lips, continuing with some distress, "I think he deserved in, though. He hurt you so much back then but now he gets it and wants you back. But how can such good things exist in the world

She then finished, emphasizing each and every word, "Mommy is mine now, and I'll definitely treasure you well! I'm absolutely not giving her up to anyone, or I won't have a mommy anymore!"

I gently ruffled her soft hair, saying, "Don't worry, Willow. You're different from him, so we won't end up the same way."

Willow poured, answering, "Yup!"

Zane wasted for me to finish speaking belece informingus calmly, "I have something to do later, so the three of us will be having dinner at the cafeteria. even asked your mommy to order your favorite dishes, Willow" Willow's eyes le up in an instant. "Daddy's the best! I love Duty!"

Zane chuckled "I love you, foo
