Chapter 259

Zach and Elvira walked into the garden behind the house. Tracy was watching Alice play when she couldn't help but sigh.

Alice heard the sound and looked up at Th to make you look older!"

"I know, but I just can't help it. Can you keep this secret for me? Don't tell anyone that I keep sighing," Tracy said kindly, giving Alice a gentle smile.

Alice nodded wisely. "Of course, I won't tell anyone. This will be our secret."

While they were talking, Zach and Elvira arrived. Alice ran up to them with a big smile, hugging Elvira and refusing to let go. Elvira, wanting to lift Alice as she used to, was stopped quickly by Zach, who pulled Alice back toward him. "Alice, you're not allowed to let Elvira pick you up anymore, okay?" Zach warned her.

"Why not?" Alice asked, clearly confused.

"You'll understand later," Zach replied, not revealing the full reason just yet.

Tracy reached out her hand when she saw Elvira. Elvira walked over and took it, smiling warmly. Tracy looked at the two of them with curiosity. "You two are usually so busy. How come you have time to come visit me now? "You haven't come to see me during the day lately, except in the evenings. What's going on?"

"Grandma, we really can't hide anything from you, can we? We do have something to share, and it's big news," Zach said, leading Alice over to sit down on a nearby chair.

Tracy looked at Zach, her eyes filled with a trace of regret. 'Zach is so talented, yet he can't have children. If he could, their child would be so beautiful,' Tracy thought to herself.

In her memory, Zach had always seemed lifeless, cold, and distant. But after marrying Elvira, he had started to come alive, his energy and warmth returning.

'I should be grateful though. Life can't be perfect. If it's nearly perfect, that's already a blessing,' Tracy kept reassuring herself as she wondered.
