Jessica looked back in surprise and saw Steven entering the house. Then, she immediately rose to greet him. "Welcome home

The latter nodded and searched for Zachary in the living room. "Where is be?"

At the mention of Zachary, Jessica instinctively pouted and replied unhappily, "He seems to dislike me.

"When he came home, he ignored me and headed to his bedroom. Then, he closed the door and didn't respond to me even though I kept calling his name." "What?" Steven was in disbelief. But he loves you so much."

"Because of you, he abandoned his own mother, who treated him well."

Though Jessica wanted to criticize Zachary and ruin his relationship with Steven, she fell silent because Steven seemed extremely protective of his own son. Forget it. She wasn't in a hurry to ruin their relationship anyway.

Jessica told herself to have more patience.

After that, Steven continued, "Maybe he experienced something in kindergarten, so he felt upset."

While he spoke, he patted Jessica's back. "You're pregnant now, so you'll get fatigued easily. Don't worry about this. I'll comfort him."

Before Jessica could say anything. Steven walked to Zachary's bedroom and knocked on the door. "Zachary,"

Once Zachary heard his father's voice, be opened the door. After seeing Steven, be teared up and started crying

Steven felt bad for him when he saw his tears, so he immediately carried him up and gently wiped away his tears. "Why are you unhappy, Zach?"

"Can you pick me up from school next time?" Ultimately, Zachary was just a child.

He didn't know how to be cunning and just felt very uncomfortable. As such, he told Steven the truth. "Everyone's parents picked them up from school "Even if their parents are busy, their grandparents would pick them up.

"I'm the only one... who was fetched by a driver."

Whenever he saw Annalise waiting for Willow outside the kindergarten, Steven couldn't help but feel sad.

If she hadn't divorce Steven, would she be waiting for him every day instead?

Then, he wouldn't have to wait at the kindergarten for a long time, right?

Steven, however, realized that Zachary depended on him a lot. Nevertheless, he was really busy and didn't have time to pick the latter

Though he instincti

he instinctively wanted Jessica to pick him up instead, Steven kept thinking of Annalise

In the end, he replied, "Okay. In the future, I'll pick you up when I get off work, okay?"Property © of .

Zachary nodded. "Okay."

After seeing the smile on Zachary's face, Steven felt relieved. "Then, promise me that you'll be nicer to Mommy Jessie, okay?"

Zachary whispered, "Daddy, I don't know why but ever since you divorced Mominy...

"It seems that no matter how hard I try, Mommy Jessie is always unhappy with me."

After that, Zachary looked up and asked, "Am I disturbing the three of you by living here? His

gaze was innocent and clear.

Upon seeing that, Steven was moved. He pinched Zachary's cheeks and replied, "Of course not. This is your house, so you can just be yourself here. Don't worry about what others think." The food wasn't prepared yet when we returned

I held Willow's hand and led her to the living room. After that, I took out

my comic and showed it to her. "What do you think can be amended here?"

The latter held it and started crying when she saw my drawings.

I prepared to comfort her, but she burst into tears.

"Mommy, I'm sorry..."
