Chapter 1128
Duncan remained silent.
As his purpose for being there was to discuss a partnership with his best friend, the two quickly got to the point.
Once they resolved all the issues, Duncan announced, “I’m going to check on Sonny again. If he’s awake, I’ll take him out for some fun.”
“You’re taking him out? I bet he’ll cry his eyes out while you panic and rush to send him back,” his friend teased.
Duncan stammered.
That was true; Sonny didn’t take well to his hugs.
Regardless, Duncan entered the private resting room once more. It wasn’t long before he shouted from inside, “Zachary! Zachary! Hurry!”
“What’s wrong?”
His shout startled Zachary, who jumped to his feet and dashed into the private resting room.
“Sonny wet the bed! Look at the pool of pee on the bed sheet,” Duncan said, pointing at the child on the bed.
Zachary was taken aback.
He approached, took off his jacket, and lifted Sonny up. Zachary then removed Sonny’s wet pants and wrapped the boy in his jacket, wanting to keep him warm and prevent him from catching a cold.
Since Sonny had been asleep for a while, he opened his eyes as Zachary was taking off his pants.
Seeing Zachary, Sonny smiled and said, “Uncle Zack.”
“Oh, Sonny’s awake,” Zachary replied.
Sonny beamed with joy.
As he turned to leave, Zachary carried Sonny out of the private resting room and asked his friend, who had barged in, “Duncan, can you take off the bedsheet?”
“Sonny peed on it…”
“What? Can’t handle the smell?”
Duncan was at a loss for words.
The odor didn’t bother him; it was simply his first experience with a small child wetting a
bed.
Duncan removed the bedsheet, remembering that his best friend had a washing machine in the private resting room. He placed the soiled sheets and pants into the machine.
When he emerged from the resting room, he found Sonny sitting on the sofa, still wearing his uncle’s jacket as pants.
“Duncan, please go buy some clothes for Sonny. He needs pants.”
“Oh.” Duncan hurried out to purchase clothing for Sonny.
He worked quickly and returned with a dozen clothing options from a single children’s store.
“Zachary, I’m back with the clothes. I’m not sure if they’re the right size.”
Duncan entered the office with a large bag of clothes and said, “The quality looks good, so I bought them. Let’s see if they fit Sonny, and I can go get the correct size if necessary.”
This was his first time shopping for the boy, and he had no idea what size to get.
Zachary took the bag and asked, “A couple of sets would be sufficient. Why did you buy a dozen? And why is there a dress?”
Duncan replied, confused, “Is that a dress? I might have picked it up by mistake.”
As his best friend pulled out a long-sleeved dress from the bag, Duncan felt his face flush.
“Uncle Zack, this looks nice.”
Sonny, attracted by the pretty dress, reached out to grab it.
Zachary said, “This is a dress, Sonny. It’s for girls. You’re a boy, Sonny. You can’t wear dresses.”
