Chapter 1554 Sophia was overjoyed to hear that. "Yay! It'll go smoothly if you're here, Dad! We can then return to Molomia together, and | can finally start preparing for my wedding to Zachary!" "That's my girl!" Adam replied. "I'll be there soon!" Sophia then ended the call, confident that her father’s intervention would put an end to any further complications. She was certain that no one would dare to back out of a potential deal again if her father handled everything, The door to the master bedroom had been closed softly. Zachary-who was Jeremy-turned the wheelchair around and saw that Bryan had woken up. The boy had been watching him from behind.
"What were you secretly looking at earlier?" Bryan asked curiously.
Zachary placed a finger to his lips and whispered, "You must always call'Daddy' from now on, even if there's no one else in the room." Bryan blinked and asked, "I can call you that now? | thought you didn't likecalling you that." Zachary narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why would you think that?" "Because I'm not your biological son. No father will be happy if someone else's child calls them '‘Daddy1..." Bryan was the spitting image of Benjamin, and the only discernible difference was that of their personalities and expressions. Even so, he was no less Zachary's child, and Zachary patted Bryan's head. "I feel happy when you call'Daddy"'.” Bryan appeared pleasantly surprised. "Is that true? Does that mean you don't hate me?" "Why would | hate you?" the man retorted, pursing his "8 Bryan smiled gleefully and approached Zachary. "So, Daddy... You don't seem to like Sophia very much, do you?" The question was so blunt that Zachary was a little taken aback by it." What makes you say that?" Bryan whispered, "Because you don't smile when you see her! My Mommy says it's normal to smile whenever we see someone we like. We will unconsciously look at the person we like too! But you never smile or look at Sophia." 1 Zachary remained silent. He held no romantic feelings for Sophia, and their three years together never sparked any emotions. Though he could not recall anyone from his past, his heart seemed to resonate deeply with Corinne whenever he saw her. It was as if everything that Lucas said that day was true-that Corinne once shared a profound connection with him, and that he loved her very much.
"Kids shouldn't jump to conclusions when it comes to matters between adults," Zachary deftly avoided answering the question.
Bryan was quick-witted enough to say, "I'll introduce my Mommy to you when you break up with Sophia. My Mommy is very beautiful!" Zachary chuckled and teased, "Aren't you concerned that your father might get upset if you introduced your mother to me?" Bryan then pursed his lips. "My Daddy isn't going to cback! Mommy thinks about him every day, but it's useless to miss someone who's gone!and my siblings just want Mommy to be happy. That's all that matters to us. | think you're a handsfather and a very nice person, so it'll be great if you can help my Mommy forget about my father!" "How do you know that your Mommy thinks about him every day?" Zachary asked in surprise.
Bryan scratched his chin and explained, "Hmm... | know because she spaces out in my dad's study every day! Who else could she be thinking about if it's not Daddy? Mommy is a very gentle person. She never tells anyone if something is bothering her because she doesn't want her sadness to be a burden to others!"
