Chapter


    4437 When Zachary got home, there were guests waiting.


    Ben had brought Jane and their kids to visit Serenity.


    As soon as they met, Ben greeted him with a smile and offered congrattions again, even though he had already done so over the phone.


    Zachary smiled. "Thanks."


    He invited them to sit down and naturally took Avah from Ben''s arms. "I haven''t seen your daughter in a while. She''s gotten so big—and she looks more and more


    like you."


    Avah really did resemble Ben more, not just in looks, but in personality too.


    Enzo, on the other hand, resembled Jane. The siblings weren''t identical, but they had about a 70% resemnce.


    "Uncle," Avah said sweetly, sitting in Zachary''sp.


    Zachary raised an eyebrow. "Avah can talk now?"


    He knew both kids could walk and call their parents. He remembered when they first learned to say "Dad"-Ben had posted videos on social media nonstop, at least ten times a day.


    Zachary had evenined privately to Serenity, saying Ben had turned into a full-time baby bragger. Serenity justughed and teased that Zachary was jealous.


    "If you had kids like Avah," she''d said, "you''d probably post every five minutes." Zachary couldn''t argue if he had a daughter like Avah, he absolutely would. Ben smiled. "She''s just starting to talk. She knows how to call people." Avah sat calmly on Zachary''sp, quietly watching the room with her bright, mischievous eyes. Though she looked sweet and reserved, she was actually more yful than Enzo and her two cousins.


    Jane often joked that once her daughter was a little older, she''d be the queen of the family, with all the cousins wrapped around her finger.


    Meanwhile, Enzo stayed nestled in Jane''s arms, staring curiously at Zachary. He didn''t seem to recognize him-understandable, considering how rarely they''d met.


    "I wanted to visit Serenity right after the birth," Jane said. "But I was swamped and couldn''t get away. Things have calmed down a bit, so I wanted toe by. How is she? How''s the baby? Crying nonstop and keeping you up all night?"


    Avah had taken a liking to Zachary''s watch and was ying with it as he answered, "Seren''s doing great. She had a natural delivery and bounced back quickly. The baby''s been easy so far-eats and sleeps on a good cycle. No crying yet."


    Though he wasn''t sure how long that wouldst.


    His grandmother had warned him that all babies get fussy eventually-even he had been a handful as a child.


    Just then, a voice called out cheerfully, "Come here, Avah! Let Grandma hold you!"


    Zachary''s grandma had rushed over from the other room when she heard Ben and Jane were here. The three daughters-inw followed close behind.


    The olddy came in smiling and immediately scooped Avah out of Zachary''sp. Zachary pursed his lips.


    He''d only held her for two minutes.


    Who gave Grandma the heads-up toe grab the baby so fast?


    "Grandma York," Avah chirped, clearly more affectionate with the olddy than


    she was with Zachary.


    Grandma York had spent a lot of time at FC Manor before Serenity gave birth and was always ying with Avah when she lived there. Naturally, the little girl was attached to her.
