Chapter

69

"We also asked Zachary about it, but he didn't want to tell us anything either."

Meanwhile, Zane stood beside Willow as he looked at Zachary from a distance, and Zachary instinctively shrunk behind his classmates

Since Zane didn't know what Zachary said, he couldn't punish the latter, so he looked away and carried Willow up

His voice was very gentle. "Why are you unhappy, Willow?"

The moment he asked that question, Willow started crying. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very pitiful

Willow kept quiet and continued crying in Zane's arms.

While Zane patted her back, he looked at me for help. Then, I stretched my arms out toward Willow and said, "Here, Mommy will give you a hug However, Willow turned and ignored me when she heard my voice

Previously, she used to always cling tone, but now, she was ignoring me. As such, I was pretty sure that Zachary told her something

about me.

Yet, I didn't show any indication that I knew anything Instead, I inhaled deeply and asked sadly. "Willow, you don't want me anymore, right? Then, Willow lifted her head and looked at me. After hesitating for a while, she stretched her arms out toward me.

Then, I picked her up and walled toward the car.

Suddenly, Zachary blocked my path and declared, "You can't carry her!"

I asked coldly, "Why?"

Immediately, Zachary replied, "Because you're my mother. You can only love me."

He behaved just like Steven-both of them used my love for them to hurt me deeply.

They seemed to think that no matter how badly they treated me, I'd return to them if they apologized. In the meantime, I looked at Zachary coldly.

The latter's gaze was filled with hope, hoping that I'd put Willow down and go home with him instead.

However, I just stared at him coldly and asked Holly, "Haven't you taught the children here not to call a stranger 'Mommy? After bearing that, Holly immediately pulled Zachary back to class. "Zachary, even if your mother hasn't fetched you trom kindergarten for the past few "I didn't do that! Zachary sobbed.

While Holly blocked his path, he wiped his tears and tried to rush outside. "She's my Mommy!"

"Your mother has been picking you up from kindergarten for one year now. You even called her Mommy

"Besides, you said previously that this woman isn't your mother."

Holly was exasperated "Stop being mischievous, Zachary!"

However, Zachary didn't seem to hear her. He kept trying to break free so he could run to me, but he soon realized that his efforts were

Becould only watch as I entered the car and drove off without him.

After that, Zachary lowered his head and started crying

Actually, Jessica didn't treat him well from the start. Though he wanted to give her a chance, she would only treat him well in front of Steven Alas, whenever Steven letit, she would treat him very coldly

In fact, jessica uften looked very unhappy in front of Zachary, which was why he thought of Annalise all of a sudden.

Everything would be alright if she was by his side

At the same time, Willow remained silent in the car no matter how I tried to coax her.

So, Zane asked, "Did Zachary say something bad about Mommy?"

Willow shook her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes. She looked rather pitiful. Then, I asked, "Did he say something to make you not want Mommy anymore?"
