The Cherished Wife

Tania wanted to say something more, but when she saw Zara laughing happily with Brandon in the living room, she held back. "I came here with Brandon just to have a meal. You know that," she said. Peter looked at Tania, his gaze lingering on her, making her feel uncomfortable. Thankfully, Zara noticed them.

"Mr. Peter, Ms. Tania, why are you still standing there? Is it because you couldn't find Ms. Tania's slippers? I put them in the shoe cabinet, just as you asked, Mr. Peter. After you mentioned Ms. Tania was back. I even washed them. They're very clean!" "We found them, Zara!" Tania forced a smile. She quickly put on the slippers and moved past Peter into the living room.

Peter watched her retreating figure for a long moment before finally looking away. There was still time. He believed she would come back one day. He had all the time in the world, so he would wait.

Zara chatted with Brandon for a while. "Brandon, are you hungry? I made lots of tasty food! If you're hungry, we can eat right now."

"Yay!" Brandon patted his round belly. "I'm so hungry. Feed me, Grandma!"

"Oh, of course. I'll feed you," Zara said, smiling warmly.
