Yvette was stunned. Then, she heard Michael bellowing in rage on the other end of the line. "Who's the father? I'm going to kill him!" Then, there were sounds of vases and other items being smashed. Zachary heard it too, and he hurriedly said, "Let's talk later, Mom. I'm going to check on Kiki now and stop Mr. Torres from punishing her." "Alright..." After Zachary ended the call, he went out of the bedroom.
Kiki was lying on the couch without a care in the world, while Michael was furiously throwing things on the ground. Although he was smashing vases, he was being careful not to hurt her.

Don't even arrange dates for me. Those rich guys aren't going to accept a woman with a child like me." Michael hadn't expected her not to know who the father of her child was. He felt disgraced.
"You! How could you do this? How am I supposed to show my face to other people now? I'm going to kill you today! Do you really not know who that bastard belongs to? If so, I'm going to kick him out!" Then, he lifted his hand and was about to slap Kiki. Zachary hurriedly stepped forward and tugged Michael's shirt. "Gramps, please don't hit Mom. If you're mad, you can hit me!" He looked serious as he puffed his chest out. When Michael saw how responsible Zachary looked despite not even reaching his knees, his heart melted. Zachary was smart and sensible.
"Return to your room, Zac. I'm not going to hit your mom. I was just." Michael paused for a while. "I was just going to pat her on the shoulder." After saying that, be patted Kiki's shoulders hard.
Kiki wanted to roll her eyes at him at that moment. She'd never expected her strict father to be so gentle in front of Zachary. In fact, he was so gentle that she found it disgusting. "Then, are you still going to kickout, Gramps?" Zachary looked at Michael with his huge eyes. There was no way the latter was going to abandon such an obedient child. "Oh, you silly kid. You must've heardwrong. I was talking about the stray cat outside, not you! You're my treasure. Even if I kick out your mom, I'll never kick you out." Zachary had never experienced love from his grandparents growing up. So, he also felt warm inside when he saw how kind Michael was to him. "Alright! I'll definitely treat you well when I grow up!" "Sure. I shall wait until that day comes. It's too cold out here, so let's talk in the bedroom. I'll get you a huge room soon so that you don't have to suffer outside with mom ever again. I'll take ca4+\? of you.
Tomorrow, I'll take you out to get sclothes and toys, alright?" As Kiki watched Michael walk away with Zachary and say those words, she suddenly felt scared.

She wondered if he would really hit her if he found out that Zachary wasn't really his grandson. In the end, she decided to forget it for now and worry about it when she had to cross that bridge. Then, she called Yvette back to tell her that everything was fine.
Yvette could finally relax when she got Kiki's update. She called Noah next. Noah had just gotten into bed, En.
but he hadn't slept yet. When he saw her calling, his eyes lit up. "Why didn't you visittoday, Mom? Are you still angry at me?"
When he'd snuck to Lane Mansion last time, it had been the first the'd seen her angry. He'd truly been terrified at that moment. X
