Chapter 90

"Zoey, I don't think it's necessarily your dad. Maybe Mr. Windsor is thinking about you," Claire teased.

Zoey rolled her eyes. "Mr. Windsor is busy in Starlight City. He doesn't have time to think about me."

Travis, who had been happily munching away, perked up at the mention of Henry. "Mom, when is Henry coming back? I miss him."

Gabriel chimed in, "Me too."

Zoey knew exactly what was on their minds.

That morning, Lally had dropped off breakfast and mentioned that Henry had bought little cars for Travis and Gabriel, and he would personally bring them back to Maple City.

Even Gabriel was excited about that.

No boy could resist the allure of cars, especially ones they can drive themselves.

Zoey playfully knocked on Travis's head. "I know what you're thinking, but Henry won't be back for a few days. Be patient."

Travis pouted. "Waiting is the worst."

Zoey couldn't help but pinch his chubby cheeks.

Travis quickly covered his face. "Mom, you can't pinch me. I'm almost three years old, I'm a big boy now. And no more knocking on my head, I have my dignity."

Zoey pretended to be stern. "Alright, since you're all grown up, you don't need toys anymore. I'll have someone take all the toys in the living room away."

Gabriel shot Travis a look. "Idiot."

Travis's face fell, and he quickly offered his cheeks to Zoey. "Mom, you can pinch my face all you want, even if it gets deformed. Just don't take my toys away, please."

Zoey laughed. "You gave in so quickly?"

Gabriel added, "Mom, Travis's behavior is called 'The wise man knows which way the wind blows.'"

Travis nodded eagerly. "Yeah, just like Gabriel said."

The two little guys made Zoey and Claire laugh heartily. They were just too cute.

Even though that crazy night three years ago was something Zoey didn't want to remember, she never regretted having Gabriel and Travis.

Without them, Zoey might not have had the motivation to keep going.

After breakfast, Zoey thought of Henry.

She had told Henry last night that she would call him this morning.

So she went back to her bedroom, picked up her phone, and called Henry.

"Mr. Windsor, I opened all the gifts you sent me. I love every single one of them," Zoey said with a sweet smile.

It was always nice to be thought of by Henry.

"As long as you like them, but that's not all," Henry's voice was gentle.

"Mr. Windsor, these are enough. You don't have to send me so many expensive gifts. I can't even use them all."

Hearing Zoey's words, Henry replied, "Even if I gave you the best gifts in the world, it wouldn't be enough. Zoe, you deserve the best."

Henry was usually as cold as an iceberg on appearance, but his sweet words melted Zoey's heart. She felt like she was drowning in his affection.

Not knowing how to handle the overwhelming feeling, she awkwardly changed the subject. "Mr. Windsor, Gabriel and Travis miss you too. They were just asking about you during breakfast."

Henry said, "I miss them too, but we'll see each other soon."

Zoey thought it would still be a few days at least, so how could it be soon?

But then Henry suddenly said, "Zoe, open the door."

For a moment, Zoey thought she was hearing things. But then her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran out of the bedroom.

"Zoey, what's wrong? Is there a wolf chasing you?" Claire, lounging on the sofa and scrolling through her phone, was startled by Zoey's sudden dash.

But when Zoey opened the door, Claire understood why she was so excited.

"Mr. Windsor, you're really back."

Seeing the handsome Henry standing there, Zoey's heart raced. She never thought she'd be this excited.

Even though it had only been a few days, she really missed him.

Henry smiled, put down his phone, and opened his arms to Zoey. "Zoe, I missed you so much that I came back early. Surprised?"

Of course, she was surprised.

Zoey was about to jump into his arms when two little guys suddenly appeared, each hugging one of Henry's legs.

"Henry, you're back! I knew my prayers last night worked."

"Henry, did you bring the little cars?"

"Gabriel, of course Henry brought them. Henry would never lie."

Gabriel and Travis's words quickly interrupted the budding romantic moment between Henry and Zoey.

Zoey felt a bit helpless.

Henry was momentarily stunned, then he smiled and squatted down, picking up both Gabriel and Travis.

"Of course, I brought them. They're downstairs. How about we go down and drive them now?"

Travis was overjoyed, raising his little arms and cheering, "Yay!"

Gabriel was also excited, but unlike Travis, he just nodded reservedly. If it weren't for the obvious excitement in his eyes, it would be hard to tell his emotions.

Henry looked at Zoey. "Want to join us?"

Zoey had planned to go to the set, but she thought playing with them wouldn't take much time.

So she smiled at Henry. "Sure!"

Her bright smile was like the most beautiful diamond in the world. If it weren't for the two little guys hanging on him, Henry would have wanted to kiss her right then and there.

For now, he had to hold back his desire.

He carried Gabriel and Travis downstairs, and they quickly saw the two cool little cars.

They eagerly jumped off Henry and each got into a car, excitedly turning the steering wheels.
