She nodded eagerly. "Yummy." After going through the options, I asked her, "Which one do you want to try?" Willow blinked and replied, "I want them all." I handed the menu back to Zane and let him decide. Zane surely doted on Willow. He turned to the waiter and said, "One of each, please.

The waiter replied politely, "Sure" Once the waiter left, Willow leaned intoand chattered excitedly, "Mommy, guess what?1 overheard my classmates talking about Zachary. He has been having a really tough tlately.

"After school, his new mommy doesn't even want to pick him up. He has to wait at the school gate until after 9:00 pm every day." Kids couldn't hold back their thoughts. They simply said whatever cto mind.

Willow whispered, "How could he be so dumb? He had such a great mommy, but he didn't appreciate it and chose a bad one instead." "Willow." I held her close.

I continued, "So why should we waste ton people who don't matter? Let's cherish the present and enjoy every second we have together, okay?" "Okay!" Willow nodded seriously.

Zane could tell she was just saying it, but he didn't mind. His usually stern face softened into a smile.

Zachary woke up from hunger. He knocked on Jessica's door. "I'm hungry, can you makesomething to eat?" Jessica responded impatiently, "Wait a little longer!" already past 8:00 am." Zachary's voice grew softer. Jessica had becso mean. She wasn't like this before.

Zachary was left speechless. When Annalise was around, she would get up early to make him breakfast make hiX breakfast whenever he wasn't feeling well. He looked up at Jessica, but she turned May and headed back to her room

"It you're not eating, then stay hungry.

You can eat when your dad gets home." Zachary was starving and quickly replied, "I'll eat!" "Jessica handed him the phone again m "Later, I'm taking Cody out. We'll be back around 11:00 am."

Zachary was about to browse the takeout options when he heard her m mention going out. He immediately put down the phone and asked, "What tare we leaving?"" Jessica met his eager eyes and coldly said, not coming with us!"
