The Runaway Groom

Zachary said, "That's right. You'd envy me for having a daughter while you don't."

Isaac chuckled. "For now. Who knows what happens when she gets older? On the other hand, my sons would still be mine."

Zachary was speechless.

Irene gave Baby a pointed look and chuckled. “That's why you shouldn't get too smug or you'd lose your daughter.”

Zachary was speechless.
