Now That Willow was okay with verbalizing with Zane, Zane refused to let go of any chance to get Willow to speak with him. He pretended to be jealous and asked, "Do you not love Daddy, then?"
"I do!" Willow was displeased that Zane had interrupted her conversation with me. That said, she still answered his question with her sweet little voice. "I love Daddy loads, tool"
Willow feared Zane would ask more questions after she finished consoling him. She held both sides of my cheeks and whispered into

She said several "most's in a row. It was as if that were the only way to prove her love for me was one of a kind.
After saying that, she even smugly raised her chin at Zane.
Zane chuckled, and I couldn't help laughing as well.
Seeing that Zane hadn't interrupted her this time, Willow merrily stood between me and Zane while holding our hands. I reciprocated by holding her hand tight.

I was unsure if she was okay with being drawn by me. Regardless, I answered, "Yep. That's you. I wrote about how I braided your hair this morning above the drawing. You were adorable, so I wanted to capture that memory through this way-"
I took the initiative to ask, "Are you okay with it, Willow? If not, I promise not to draw these things again."
"I love it!" Willow raised her voice as though that was the only way to prove how deeply she liked my drawing

reyes twinkled with excitement at me "Mommy, you're awesome! I look so cute in your drawing! I like it a lot!"
I gently stroked her hair in response. At the kindergarten's gates, Holly phoned Steven. She informed the latter that no one had come to pick Zachary up.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Yet, Steven sounded hesitant on the phone and didn't once say he would bring Zachary home. Instead, he suggested, "Why don't you contact Zachary's biological mother?"
Holly was helpless. "Quit joking around, Mr. Pelham. Zachary refused to acknowledge his biological mother when she first came to pick Zachary up. We even mistook her for an abductor and called the cops on her.
