Chapter 867
867:
Zander immediately looked interested. “What method?” he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Collin didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he lifted Zander and placed him on the sofa.
Zander casually rested his hands on Collin’s shoulders, but there was something oddly familiar about the whole situation. Mommy often held him like this. However, it felt different because Mommy wasn’t as tall as this “bad man.”
This man’s grip was firm and strong, while Mommy’s hold was soft and gentle. He also liked how Mommy smelled—a familiar scent. This man’s scent, however, was completely foreign, though he didn’t find it unpleasant.
Zander had always watched enviously as Gorman playfully lifted Zenia into the air. He had always wanted to experience the same thing, but Gorman had always told him that he was the older one and shouldn’t compete with Zenia.
This was the first time Zander had experienced such a thrilling height.
“Did you drink a lot of milk to grow this tall?” Zander asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.
Collin smiled, amused by Zander’s question. “Drinking milk isn’t enough. You also need to exercise regularly,” he replied.
“Hey, kid, I lifted you high too. Why am I not getting the same attention he’s getting?” Dustin interrupted.
Zander shot Dustin an uninterested glance, then scoffed and turned back to Collin. He leaned comfortably against him, showing that he no longer disliked him as much as he used to. However, this change didn’t extend to Dustin, as Zander still disliked him.
Dustin watched in disbelief at how casually Zander had let go of his animosity toward Collin. The kid’s change of heart was way too fast. Just moments ago, both he and Collin had been heavily disliked by Zander. Now, it seemed like Zander didn’t want to leave Collin’s side.

Collin soon sat down and placed Zander in his lap.
“Have you had anything to eat? Would you like me to get you something?” Collin asked as he took out a tissue to wipe Zander’s tears.
It was only when Collin wiped his face that Zander realized he had been crying. His face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and he quickly hopped off Collin’s lap, sitting up straight on the sofa. “I’m not hungry. I just want to duel with you,” Zander replied.
However, his stomach seemed to disagree as it growled loudly. Dustin couldn’t hold back a burst of laughter, but a warning glare from Collin instantly silenced him.
Zander, noticing the sound, shrank in embarrassment.
Collin called for his assistant. “Go get some breakfast that’s suitable for a child. Hurry.”
The assistant bowed and immediately went to carry out the order. Zander watched in fascination, observing Collin’s commanding demeanor.
He stared in awe at the retreating figure before turning back to Collin with a look of reverence in his eyes. “Sir, why does that person listen to you?” Zander asked innocently.
Collin, slightly taken aback by the question, replied casually, “Because he works for me. He’s expected to do everything I ask.”
