The Cherished Wife



Zara was thrilled when she learned Tania was coming back and rushed to the kitchen to start preparing a meal, eagerly awaiting her arrival. Peter wore a smile the entire time, making Tania almost wonder if he was under a spell.

She knew Peter might be overthinking things. Sometimes, she genuinely wished he would not overanalyze everything. However, perhaps it was better to let things go as they would. If he misunderstood, then so be it.

Soon, the car pulled up to Five Elements Residence. Tania got out with Brandon, and after parking the car, Peter joined them. "Let me carry Brandon," he offered.

"No need. Brandon can walk on his own," Tania declined and set Brandon down. "Brandon has grown up now. He's a little man and doesn't need to be carried all the time. Isn't that right, Bran?"

Brandon nodded earnestly. "I know that Mommy is tired!"

Tania felt a touch of pride and smiled warmly, but her expression shifted when Brandon added, "But Daddy isn't tired. Daddy says he likes me. Daddy, do you want to carry me?"

With that, Brandon spread his arms and clung to Peter's leg. Peter looked down at the small figure holding onto him, his face softening into a gentle smile.

He reached down to pat Brandon's head. "Alright, I'll carry you!"

Having been groomed as the Lennons' heir from a young age only to be cast out later, Peter hardly experienced a real childhood. He would not let the same happen to his son.

Peter wrapped his arm securely around Brandon, lifting him so that the little boy sat comfortably on his strong arm. "Come on, Brandon. Let's go in, and I'll introduce you to a very special person."

"Is it your mom, Daddy?" Brandon asked, his gaze innocent and curious.

Peter hesitated briefly before nodding, "Yes, she's my mom. She's a very important person. Remember to call her 'Grandma' when we go inside, okay?"

"Got it!" Brandon nodded happily. "In Carvonia, I didn't have a grandma, so don't worry, Daddy. I'll be very nice to her!"

Brandon's small, chubby hand reached out to touch Peter's strong, chiseled face, instantly softening Peter's expression. "You're such a wonderful child," Peter responded.

Peter looked over at Tania and noticed her watching him and Brandon with a bright light in her eyes.

Acting on impulse, he took her hand. Still lost in her thoughts, Tania did not even notice Peter was holding her hand until it was too late to pull away.

Zara was waiting eagerly at the entrance, glancing left and right before finally spotting them. She was overjoyed to see Peter with Tania. They were holding hands, and Peter was even carrying a child. The little one looked almost identical to Peter when he was at that age.

What a handsome boy. He looks just like Mr. Peter did as a child!

Zara's face shone with joy. "Ms. Tania, it's been so long, and you've lost weight."

Tania, realizing Peter was still

holding her hand, paused. She tried to pull free, but Peter's grip remained firm. Catching Zara's gaze, Tanja only hesitated a second before saying, "Zara, it's been too long."

"Yes, yes, indeed!" Zara's joy was unmistakable, her smile beaming as she saw Peter and Tania together again.

"Brandon, did you forget what we just talked about?" Tania asked, using Brandon to ease the slight awkwardness of the moment by shifting the conversation.
