บท 495: Reckless

Everything was as planned. The transition was going smooth as the butter melted on the hot plate. However, there stood a man, who looked serious and dangerous under the dim light.

New Year's Eve.

Zane was happier than ever. Nobody looked at him in pity for being fatherless. Everyone envied him for having a cool father and a lovely mother. 

Like the little responsible adult he was, he taught the kids and looked after them when they played in the vast playroom. As a kid, he joined the fun, laughed with them, and was also proud of his parents for giving the best party to his friends.

"Mommy… Mommy…" Zane ran over and threw himself on Anya for a hug. The smile was unwavering on his face. He kissed her cheek and hugged her again, "Thank you, Momma."
