Chapter 3800

Sonny didn’t fully understand what Zachary meant. Zachary, feeling too lazy to explain, chose not to elaborate. Sonny didn’t press for more information, assuming that whatever his uncle had said wasn’t good. Sometimes, adults could be frustrating; they used complex words that he, as a child, couldn’t comprehend. It often felt like they were teasing him simply because of his age. Sonny thought to himself that he needed to grow up quickly. Once he was older, he would be able to grasp what Uncle Zack was talking about.

“Uncle, didn’t you fly your plane here?” Sonny asked. Zachary helped Sonny into the car before turning to assist Serenity as she got in. Serenity smiled and said, “Do you think you can fly a plane whenever you want? You need to apply for a flight path first.”

There was no rush to get Serenity and Sonny home, so a private plane wasn’t necessary. Sonny asked, “So, are we taking the car back?” Zachary replied, “Your Uncle Ben has arranged for a car to take us to the airport. It’s faster to fly home—it’ll only take a little over an hour.”

Given Serenity’s growing belly, a long car ride of five or six hours would be too uncomfortable for her. Therefore, Zachary booked a flight to ensure a smoother and quicker journey. It took less than an hour to reach the airport from FC Manor, which was much faster than driving the entire distance.

Sonny beamed with excitement. “That’s great! I love flying! Uncle, when I grow up, can I fly a plane?” Zachary chuckled, “Of course. Do you want to be a pilot?” Sonny didn’t completely understand what being a pilot entailed; he just thought that flying around in the sky sounded fun. He nodded enthusiastically.

Zachary lifted Sonny onto his lap so he could sit closer to Serenity. “First, you need to study hard,” Zachary advised. “If you do, you’ll have the opportunity to become a pilot in the future.”

Sonny replied confidently, “I study really hard. At Aunt Jane’s house, I often copy medical books with Titus. Uncle, Titus has it much tougher than I do.” Sonny’s expression turned serious as he spoke.

Zachary nodded in understanding. “Titus works hard, but all his effort will pay off in the end.” Sonny seemed to grasp this concept somewhat.

Throughout the journey, Sonny chatted animatedly. However, once they boarded the plane, he quickly fell asleep, and Zachary held him gently.

“Wifey, are you feeling tired? Do you want to rest?” Zachary asked Serenity.

“I’m not sleepy,” Serenity replied. “Sonny woke up too early today. Aunt Audrey and the others are returning today as well.”

Zachary nodded in agreement.

They had plans to discuss the transfer of the Farrell family’s responsibilities after the New Year. Time was short—Liberty had to return to marry Duncan. Despite knowing each other for a long time, their relationship had primarily relied on phone calls rather than in-person time together.

As the plane ride went on, time seemed to fly, and soon they were landing at Wiltspoon Airport. Zachary had informed his grandmother of their return, and she had arranged several cars to meet them at the airport. Rowan was also there; he had just begun his winter break the day before and was catching up on some classes.

It was his final year.

“Sister-in-law!” Rowan called out to Serenity with a smile as soon as he spotted them coming out.

“Rowan, what are you doing here?” Serenity asked, returning his smile. Rowan had always been warm and friendly towards her.

Zachary had once joked that Rowan was the most perceptive of them all, knowing exactly how to win people over. Ever since he met Serenity, Rowan had stayed close to her, often seeking her assistance whenever he felt overwhelmed by the schoolwork assigned by his brothers. With Serenity’s help, he could find some relief from his heavy workload. Otherwise, all eight of his brothers would pile so much homework on him that he would be buried in assignments, leaving him utterly exhausted.
