The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 772

Willow smiled as she felt like the happiest child on earth.

Zane got up after us, and after washing up, we went out to jog together.

Then, we took our showers and had breakfast together. The food prepared by the family chef was perfectly suited to our tastes.

Willow wolfed down on her food and finished her milk. After that, Zane and I took her to school.

When Cody got up in the morning, he didn't let his disdain show when he saw Steven in the living room. Instead, he smiled and asked, "You're still here, Daddy!"

Steven happily replied, "Yeah."

Then, Cody suggested, "Why don't you send me to school today? The other kids have their parents drop them off at school, but I'm the only one who gets dropped off by the driver. Over time, I'm sure they'll think I'm an orphan."

As Cody spoke, his voice softened, and he sounded pitiful.

Steven couldn't help but sympathize with Cody, so he said, "Sure. I'll send you to school after breakfast."

Immediately after, Steven felt bad for Zachary. After all, Cody still had his mother by his side, but Zachary did not have his mother or his father.

Steven wondered if Zachary had been bullied in school, and yet Zachary never tried to gain his pity.

At that thought, a sharp pain pulsed within Steven's chest.

Both Zachary and Annalise were the kind to keep things to themselves, which made it easy for other people to overlook their feelings.
