Chapter 226 

After dinner. Willow’s stomach was bloated. I took her for a walk in the yard to help her digest, 

Willow tightly held my hand and said. “Mon. Heel so happy.” 

She rubbed her tummy and continged, “I have you, and you love me so much. You’ll make me delicious dinners with love, then you’ll take me for a wall 

Walking through the yard and feeling the cool breeze blowing toward her, Willow felt a deep sense of contentment. 

I smiled and agreed. “That does sound nice” 

Feeling let out, Zane calmly reminded Willow, “What about me?” 

Willow added quickly, “Oh, and Daddy, too 

The takeout Harry ordered finally arrived. Not wanting Zachary to be alone, Harry sat beside him to keep him comparry, 

Zachary boasted. “You know, my mom used to treat me so well. She was always worried I wouldn’t the food at school, so every morning, she would wake up and make me something delicious 

an amazing cook. Every time she served me food, I’d eat it all up!” 

Harry could tell from the smug look on Zachary’s face that he was trying to confort himself by pretending everything was fine. He didn’t want to burst his bubble “redly envy you.” 

Zachary smiled sheepishly. “Temy myself, too.” 

Harry chuckled and asked. “But won’t you get tired of following her around like that?” 

Zachary lowered his head. “Well, if I follow her, I can tell myself that she didn’t abandon me and that she’s always here. But it I stop following her, then I’d really have no mom.” 

Harry sighed. The more he listened, the more he felt for Zachary, 

After Steven finished the housework and washed his hands, he sat down beside Jessica and began massaging het legs. 

Jessica was pleased the stole glances at Steven

If that was the case, then Steven’s money would be hers to spend as the wished 

senjoying herself, Cody walked out. He stood in front of Steven and whispered, “I did’t eat enough earlier. I’m hungry again ” 

Smiling, Steven asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.” 

Cody answered serously, “Fried eggs and instant noodles” 

p before cracking in the eggs. 

Steven walked to the kitchen and turned on the stove Once the pan was hot, he added oil and waited for it to heat up 

As he watched the eggs bubble in the pan, it hit him. He’d never cooked meal Annalise and Zachary. Even when Zachary was hungry at home, it was always analise who made estra food for him. But now, he was willingly cooking for Jessica and Cochy.

He didn’t understand. He was living with the person he loved and her child, yet it felt so suffocating
