The Unveiled Rose

Zane was practically at Willow's beck and call. Even if his tasks were piling up, he would still find the time. "Yes," he replied.

Willow asked, "Then can you and Mommy come with me to the kindergarten event?"

Zane indulgently replied, "Of course."

...

Zachary also remembered the upcoming event after waking up, where he would be reciting with Willow.

But Steven was ignoring him right now, and Chloe was completely focused on Jessica.

By then, every student in the class would have their parents there, but he wouldn't have anyone.

Zachary didn't want to be the only one left out.

After getting up, he saw Hannah had already made breakfast. He took a bite and realized it didn't taste as good as Annalise's cooking.

But he was still content. At least there was food so that he wouldn't go hungry.

Zachary finished every last bit of his meal, then said, "Next week, there's a parent-child event at kindergarten. Can you two come?"

They understood Zachary's situation and felt sorry for him, but they also had their concerns.

Harry asked, "Will your dad mind if we went?"

When Steven was mentioned, Zachary's smile disappeared instantly. "Dad only has eyes for Jessica, so he definitely won't care about our kindergarten event. "Grandma only wants to take care of Jessica's child.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"So, you can rest assured. No one will care who I invite to be my parent."

Harry felt heartbroken upon listening to Zachary's calm tone.

Zachary was only five years old this year. He was not loved by either of his parents and was a small child who was forced to grow up quickly.

Harry clenched his teeth. "Then I'll go."

Hannah also spoke up. "I'll go too!"

Zachary smiled. "You two are the best."

He then put down the bowl and returned to his bedroom.

Annalise would also be at the performance, so he needed to dress up a little more. Then, he would do his best at his performance, so Annalise would include him in her pictures or videos. That way...

Zachary lowered his eyes. He could pretend that she was there for him.

...

After Willow finished her morning training, had breakfast, and changed clothes, we drove her to school.

Willow exited the car and ran up to me, hugging my leg. "Mommy, we'll be apart for the whole day again. I don't want to leave you."

I gently stroked Willow's hair. "I don't want to be apart from you either."

"What do you think we should do?" Willow looked up at me.

She asked seriously, "Should we spend the weekend together and have two whole days of fun?"

I smiled and agreed. "No problem!"

Only then did Willow let go of me. She spotted Penelope in the distance and immediately ran over to join her.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

Zane asked, "Where does your mother live?"

I sat in the car and gave the driver the address.

The driver stepped on the gas pedal, and we drove off.

...

Zachary stood frozen in place, looking back at Annalise. But her figure had already disappeared.

He lowered his gaze in disappointment.

Then he comforted himself, thinking that since he had been walking beside Willow just now, Annalise must have seen him.
