Chapter 1128
Duncan was without a word.
Since Duncan’s purpose of being here was to talk about partnership with his best friend, the pair soon got right into it.
Once the duo ironed out all the kinks, Duncan was ready to leave and said, “I’m going to check on Sonny again. I’ll take him out for some fun if he’s awake.”
“You take him out? I bet he will cry his eyes out while you panic and rush to send him back.”
Duncan choked.
That was right. Sonny did not take kindly to his hugs.
Nevertheless, Duncan went into the private resting room once again. It did not take him long to yell from inside, “Zachary! Zachary! Hurry!”
“What’s the matter?”
His outcry gave Zachary a scare. Zachary jumped to his feet and raced into the private resting room.
“Sonny wet the bed. Look at the pool of pee on the bed sheet,” Duncan told his best friend as he pointed at the child on the bed.
Zachary was lost for words.
He drew close and removed his jacket before picking Sonny up. Zachary then took off Sonny’s wet pants and held the boy with the jacket over him. The last thing he wanted was for Sonny to catch a cold.
Since Sonny had been asleep for a while now, he opened his eyes when Zachary was removing his pants.
Seeing that it was Zachary, Sonny curled his lips and mewed, “Uncle Zack.”
“Oh, Sonny’s awake.”
Sonny beamed.
Turning on his heel, Zachary carried Sonny out of the private resting room and lifted the covers off Sonny while telling his friend who barged into the room, “Duncan, can you remove the bedsheet?”
Duncan walked into the office with a huge bag of clothes and uttered, “The quality seems good, so I bought them. Let’s see if they fit Sonny. I can go get the right size if the clothes don’t fit.”
Since this was his first–time clothes shopping for the boy, he had no idea the size he should get.
Zachary took the bag of clothes. “A couple of sets would do. Why did you get a dozen? Huh? Why is there a dress?”
Duncan replied, puzzled, “Is that a dress? I might have grabbed it by accident.”
Seeing his best friend pull out a long–sleeved dress from the bag, Duncan turned red in the face.
“Uncle Zack, this looks good.”
With a pretty dress catching his eye, Sonny reached out to grab it.
Zachary uttered, “This is a dress, Sonny. It’s for girls. You’re a boy, Sonny. You can’t wear dresses.”
