The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine

Chapter 182: Can I Call You Mommy?

"Zach!? You’re back already?" Sienna turned her head slightly to look at him.

A smile instantly bloomed on her lips, and warmth spread through her heart at the sight of him standing so close after a week apart.

Zachary smiled back. Keeping his hands on her waist, he gently turned her to face him and pulled her closer.

"Hmm. I realized how much I missed my beautiful wife, so as soon as my business was done, I hurried back home..."

The happiness in her gaze was impossible to hide. "How did you know we were here?" she asked.

"My people are in the same location as you," he replied casually.

"Logan?"

"Not Logan."

Zachary briefly gazed toward a group of men standing in the distance.

Following his gaze, Sienna noticed several men scattered around the area. Their posture immediately reminded her of military personnel. Unlike ordinary bodyguards in black suits, they wore casual clothes and blended into the crowd. Still, she noticed the communication devices hidden near their ears.

She looked back at Zachary.

"So you sent them to follow us?"

"They’re Skylar’s bodyguards," he explained calmly. "They follow him all the time, but without being seen or making people around Skylar notice."

"Oh." Sienna smiled as she remembered the bodyguard who had appeared earlier to take care of their car. "Sky told me about them."

Zachary’s expression softened. He lifted a hand and gently tilted her chin so she would look at him.

"And starting today, those bodyguards will also follow you from a safe and comfortable distance."

His words touched her deeply.

Although the idea of being watched all the time made her feel slightly uncomfortable, she understood why he wanted it. After everything that had happened, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse him.

"To make sure my wife stays safe from any harm," he continued softly.

As he brushed several strands of hair away from her forehead, the simple gesture stirred the longing she had been trying to ignore during their week apart.

Standing so close to him again, she suddenly wanted nothing more than to wrap her arms around him and rest her head against his chest. She wanted to enjoy a quiet moment with him, free from interruptions.

Unfortunately, that wish lasted only a few seconds.

"Daddy!?"

Skylar’s surprised voice came from behind her.

"Why are you back already? I thought you wouldn’t return until tomorrow."

Sienna turned toward him and smiled. The little boy’s cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes sparkled with excitement as he stared at Zachary.

Instinctively, she tried to step away so father and son could greet each other properly, but Zachary didn’t let her go. He kept hold of her hand while extending his other hand toward Skylar.

When Skylar immediately grabbed it, Zachary smiled.

"Why do you sound unhappy that I came back earlier?"

"I’m happy, Daddy. I’m just surprised to see you."

Skylar grinned awkwardly before turning to Sienna.

"Aunty, can we eat now? I’m really hungry."

Sienna was speechless. She clearly remembered him finishing three sandwiches, two glasses of milk, fruit, and an endless supply of potato chips on the drive over.

She still couldn’t understand where all that food went. "You’re hungry already?"

Skylar nodded seriously.

The earnest expression on his face made Sienna suppress a laugh.

Beside her, Zachary let out a quiet sigh but said nothing. He simply watched his wife and son interact, his gaze noticeably softer than usual.

"Yes," Skylar explained. "I used a lot of energy riding the roller coaster."

Then he suddenly remembered something and immediately looked at Zachary. "Daddy, you have to ride the tallest roller coaster with me."

Zachary frowned slightly as if considering the request.

"Please, Daddy."

Skylar’s pitiful expression finally won him over.

"Alright," Zachary agreed. "But we need to have lunch first."

Then he turned toward Sienna. "How about we have lunch in a private restaurant?"

Her eyebrows lifted slightly.

She had originally planned to eat at the food court with Skylar, but now that Zachary was with them, she wasn’t sure if that was still a good idea.

"Private restaurant? There’s something like that here?"

"Yes. Follow me."

Zachary led them through the park, holding Sienna’s hand on one side and Skylar’s on the other. Logan followed quietly several steps behind.

Soon, they entered a four-story building. A man in a black suit greeted them politely before leading them to the top floor.

The entire level resembled a private observatory. A spacious lounge and dining area occupied the floor, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering a breathtaking view of the amusement park below.

Only the three of them were there, accompanied by two servers and several bodyguards standing discreetly nearby.

Sienna barely had time to process the luxurious setting. Her attention was immediately drawn to the incredible view stretching across the entire park.

However, Skylar’s voice quickly pulled her back.

"Daddy, can we order grilled beef, lots of French fries with sweet mustard sauce, and a big cup of soda?"

Sienna turned toward the table.

Skylar was already seated across from Zachary, and both of them were studying the menu.

She quickly joined them and settled into the seat beside Zachary.

Zachary glanced at his son before handing him the menu.

"Go ahead and order whatever you want. I’ll eat whatever you choose."

"Me too, Aunty Sienna," Skylar added enthusiastically. "I’ll eat whatever you order."

Before Sienna could respond, Zachary spoke in a calm but serious tone.

"Sky, from now on, stop calling her Aunty Sienna."

Skylar immediately looked at him, confused.

At the same moment, Sienna felt herself tense. She already knew what Zachary was about to say.

"Sienna is my wife now."

Zachary briefly glanced at her and gently took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze before turning back to his son.

"That means she’s your mother. You can call her Mom or Mommy."

The moment those words left his mouth, Skylar’s eyes lit up with pure happiness.

"Really?"

Zachary nodded.

Skylar immediately turned toward Sienna, his face full of hope and excitement.

"Can I call you Mommy?"

Sienna felt completely overwhelmed. Her heart felt so full that it almost hurt. She had always imagined hearing those words from him, and now that she finally had, tears gathered in her eyes before she could stop them.

The little boy had accepted her so naturally, so wholeheartedly, that she couldn’t find the words to describe what she was feeling.

Smiling through the tears threatening to fall, she nodded gently.

"Yes, you can."

The joy that instantly appeared on Skylar’s face made her realize that this simple moment would stay in her heart for a very long time.
