the comforting embrace of Zachary, who was his uncle. Serenity was feeling quite bored at the moment, making it the ideal opportunity to teach Sonny how to read and write. Since he would be starting kindergarten in September, he would be learning more then, but for now, she thought preschool was akin to hiring someone else to care for him.
Nowadays, kindergarten tuition was expensive, often costing several thousand dollars per semester, and even up to ten thousand for the more prestigious institutions. If a child began attending now, they would need to complete three years of kindergarten before entering elementary school. Raising a child was indeed a costly endeavor, which is why children were often referred to as “money-eaters.”
“Okay,” she said, feeling satisfied that her sister was doing well. Serenity quickly left the hospital with Sonny and headed to York Corporation. By the time they arrived, it was after work hours.
“Mrs. York,” several employees greeted her with smiles as she walked in. Sonny, who was cradled in her arms, captured everyone’s attention with his charming looks. When some senior managers stopped to chat with Serenity, Sonny sweetly greeted them, earning him compliments.
Zachary sensed Serenity’s arrival the moment her car pulled into the building. He had already finished his tasks and was eagerly waiting for her in his office since she had mentioned she would pick him up. Upon knowing she was there, he promptly took the elevator down.
“Uncle Zak!” Sonny exclaimed, his sharp eyes spotting Zachary. He quickly wriggled free from Serenity’s hold and ran toward Zachary like an excited little bird. As Sonny’s adorable voice rang out, many employees paused to glance at their typically stoic CEO. They were surprised to see him take a few swift steps forward, squatting down with open arms to embrace Sonny as he rushed into his uncle’s hold. Sonny nestled his head into Zachary’s shoulder.
Zachary lifted him up and spun him around, prompting a burst of laughter from the child. Zachary joined in the laughter, while everyone else stood in stunned silence. Was this really their stoic CEO? He revealed such a gentle side. It appeared that their unyielding CEO had a fondness for children. Considering how well he treated his wife and nephew, it’s possible that he might become a stay-at-home dad once Mrs. York gave birth. He might even bring the baby to work with him.
