It crossed Zachary’s mind that Serenity personally brought the glass out of the kitchen. She did not break the glass even though the drink was piping hot. The water must be to warm him up.
Serenity was angry and gave him the snub, still refusing to forgive him. Nevertheless, her tiny gestures told Zachary that Serenity was not as heartless as she put herself out to be.
With that in mind, Zachary felt a little better.
As Sonny leaned forward, Zachary immediately moved the glass aside before hot water was knocked over.
Sonny wanted to open the bag of snacks.
Zachary pulled the bag over and opened it for him.
“Thank you, Uncle Zack.”
Grabbing a pack of chips from the grocery bag, Sonny gave it to Zachary and said, “This is for you, Uncle Zack. Aunt Ser said it’s tasty.”
Aunt Ser rarely bought him chips, stating that too much junk food was not good for him.
Why did Aunt Ser always help herself to a bag then?
After Zachary took the bag of chips, Sonny dug out a few more bags and gave them to Zachary. The little boy then slid down from Zachary’s lap and carried the grocery bag with the remaining snacks with a struggle, saying, “This is all mine.”
Liberty amusedly took the bag from her son and uttered, “The bag is heavier than you. Put the bag here. You can’t have any tonight, but you can have some tomorrow. You’ll spoil your dinner if you have them all at once.”
She then turned to Zachary. “Sonny doesn’t share. There’s the occasional exception with a few kids, but not with adults though.”
Zachary had always kept a straight face while interacting with Sonny right from the start. However, Sonny was not afraid of him. In fact, the little man got along well with Zachary.
Despite meeting Duncan multiple times, Sonny still could not look Duncan in the eye.
There was something about human relations that was hard to fathom.
Zachary laid out the few bags he got from Sonny and replied, “Sonny, I don’t really like to eat snacks. You can have them back.”
