Liberty chuckled and said, “I’m being raised like a pig now. I eat, sleep, and repeat every day. Moreover, the food brought by Sam every day is delicious. If I keep going at this on a daily basis, I’ll grow to a hundred sixty pounds again when I get discharged.”
She was someone who gained weight easily.
As long as she ate a little more, her waist would become thicker.
“There’s no such thing. I see that you’ve lost a lot of weight.”
Liberty had almost died but survived, after all.
“Take Sonny with you later. He’s bored from spending all day here with me. He always wants to watch cartoons on my phone, but I don’t let him because it’s bad for his eyes.”
Liberty washed the lunch boxes and continued, “Seren, before you come over tomorrow, go to my place and bring Sonny’s set of Lego blocks so he can play with them when he comes after class. It’s better than watching cartoons on the phone.
“Bring the reading and writing set as well. I’m super bored now, so it’s the perfect time for me to teach him to read and write. He’s going to kindergarten in September and will learn something then. Preschool is the same as hiring someone else to take care of him.”
Kindergarten tuition was not cheap nowadays. A semester could easily cost several thousand dollars or even ten thousand dollars for better ones.
If a child started now, they would need to attend three years of kindergarten to go to elementary school.
Raising a child was the most expensive thing to do, or children would not be known as “money- eaters”.
“Okay.”
Seeing that her sister was fine, Serena quickly left the hospital with Sonny and went to York Corporation.
It was after work time by the time they arrived.
“Mrs. York.
“Mrs. York.”
When Serena entered, employers who saw her along the way greeted her with smiles.
Sonny, who was being held by her, stood out the most.
The little one was handsome and cute. When some senior managers stopped to talk to Serena, he greeted them sweetly and was praised for that.
Zack knew Serena had arrived the moment her car entered the building.
He had long finished his work at hand and only waited for Serena in his office because she said that she would come to pick him up.
Zack immediately took the elevator and went downstairs when he knew Serena had arrived.
“Uncle Zak.”
Sonny was sharp-eyed and saw Zack. He broke free from Serena and dashed toward Zack like a happy little bird.
When Sonny’s adorable voice was heard, many people stopped and turned to look at their cold- faced CEO.
They saw their CEO taking a few quick steps forward. He squatted and opened his arms for Sonny to run into his embrace.
Sonny buried his head into Zack’s arms. Following that, Zack carried him up and spun him in circles that he laughed out loud.
Zack laughed as well.
Everyone else was speechless.
Was this their cold-faced CEO?
He had such a gentle side.
It seemed that their stone-cold CEO liked children.
Given how well their CEO treated his wife and nephew, for all they knew, he might become a stay- at-home dad after Mrs. York gave birth to a child. He might even come to work with the baby.
Everyone imagined Zack coming to work with a baby in his arms. They could not help but shiver and did not dare imagine it!
The senior managers who were talking to Serena said with a smile, “Mrs. York, Mr. York is here. We’ll be leaving first.”
They did not want to be third wheels.
Serena grinned and nodded. After the senior managers left, she walked over to the man and the kid with a smile.
“Zack, you have to hold him tight.”
Some people did not hold their children tight when lifting or spinning them, causing them to fall on the ground. The consequences would be serious.
Zack stopped lifting and spinning Sonny in the air.
He lowered Sonny and carried him instead as he responded with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll hold him tight. I won’t let him fall no matter what.
“Sonny, am I good?”
Sonny answered, “Uncle Zak, you’re good-very good.”
The little guy thought, ‘As long as you stop calling me a third wheel, you’ll be even better.’
Sonny finished talking and wrapped his arms around Zack and kissed him on the face. Afterward, he acted shy and buried his head on Zack’s shoulder.
Zack smiled from ear to ear after he was kissed by the little guy.
He said to Serena, “No wonder Duncan is extra fond of Sonny. This little one is truly likable and lovable.”
Serena chuckled and said, “Don’t you know who raised him? I raised him, so of course, he’s adorable.”
Zack looked at his wife.
“Why are you looking at me like that? What I said is true-I brought Sonny up.”
“You’re right, you’re right. I just wanted to see how thick-faced my wife has become since being together with me.”
“You admit that you’re thick-faced.”
Serena took one of Zack’s arms. The two of them walked outside together.
Zack laughed and said, “I am-I’m very shameless in front of you. Nana likes to criticize me the most. Sometimes, she calls me out so much that I wonder if I’m truly her grandson.”
Serena wanted to laugh when she recalled how Grandma May attacked Zack verbally in the past. Nonetheless, Serena held back so that she could maintain her good image as the CEO’s wife.
“Nana only criticizes her grandsons. She likes to make fun of her closest ones but is gentle and polite to outsiders. Everyone says she’s kind and generous.”
Zack had no comments.
Serena was right.
No wonder Grandma May liked Serena so much. It was because Serena matched her taste.
“Was everything okay this afternoon?” Zack asked Serena.
“You know best if everything was okay.” Zack’s men were always secretly protecting her. He could learn about her every move at any time if he wanted to.
Serena added, “What can happen to me now? They’ve been caught and are waiting to be sentenced.”
Even so, she also learned a lesson from this.
Mischievous people were difficult to deal with.
Serena would try not to offend petty people in the future.
This time, Serena offended Mrs. Newman and her daughter to save Camryn. The mother and daughter were brutal. Now, 90% of Mrs. Newman’s dark forces were cut off, and the rest of them were being pursued by the police. This case had somewhat ended.
“Oh, there are a few things still on my mind. It’s about Elisa and Remy. I wonder when the two of them will remove the veil.”
Zack leaned into her ear and whispered, “That’s their business. You should put your mind on our wedding.”
“Isn’t it still early?”
They still had several months to prepare for it.
Serena was not in a hurry at all.
She felt that there was still plenty of time.
Zack said he had asked an internationally famous bridal designer to tailor a wedding dress for her. That designer had not come yet.
