Chapter 76
The little guy stirred, groggily opened his eyes, and rubbed them.
“Lizzie…” Vivian’s voice, thick with sleepiness, sounded soft and dependent.
She also reached out her little hand and scratched Oswaldo’s chest, feeling different. She slowly opened her eyes.
“Dad?” Vivian just woke up, still with a soft, sleepy voice, “Where’s Lizzie?”
Oswaldo patted Vivian’s head and said, “Vivian, let’s go to Lizzie’s house now and find her.”
“Go to Lizzie’s house?”
Vivian wasn’t fully awake yet, but when she heard “Lizzie’s house,” her eyes lit up like black grapes.
Just now that bit of confusion disappeared in an instant.
Zackery turned around and looked at Oswaldo.
Oswaldo knew his intentions weren’t pure, so he awkwardly turned his head.
Vivian didn’t understand why her dad felt awkward and uncomfortable using her as an excuse, her little body squirming excitedly in Zackery’s
arms.
“Yeah! Let’s go to Lizzie’s house! Find Lizzie!”
Vivian’s crisp cheers echoed in the carriage, filled with pure joy.

Oswaldo seemed even more uncomfortable with his daughter’s cheers
He cleared his throat.
Zackery adjusted the steering wheel and drove towards the Trevino’s house. Passing by the mall, he parked the car in front of the entrance and walked into the mall.
Before long, he was holding a bulging net bag in his hand.
Inside were things like malted milk, fruit candy, canned goods, all decent gifts for visiting relatives and friends at this time.
Zackery put the net bag on the passenger seat and started the car again.
Lizzie thought it was too conspicuous to be driven home by a car, so she asked the soldier to park the car at a slightly farther intersection.
I got off the car and slowly pushed the wheelchair myself.
She had just entered the alley of the neighborhood when she saw a crowd gathered in front of her house. There was also a green Jeep parked there, which looked out of place in Acagoza Heights.
Lizzie was wondering whose car it was and how it ended up at their house.
Just then, a few sharp–eyed neighbors aunties immediately surrounded
- me.
She was instantly overwhelmed by a cacophony of voices.
“Lizzie came back?“..
“Was that small car just now yours?”
“Who is this?”

Lizzie didn’t have time to answer yet.
A small figure “dashed” out of the house and pounced on her like a little missile.
“Lizzie!”
Vivian hugged her legs.
Colton followed behind Vivian, looking nervous, afraid that Vivian might fall.
The neighbors were immediately drawn to this well–groomed little girl.
“Hey, whose kid is this?”
“He’s so handsome!”
“I looked like the kid who just got off that car.
Vivian was not shy either. When someone asked, she said, “Dad and I brought lots and lots of gifts to see Lizzie!”
Vivian held Lizzie’s hand and said, “Lizzie, come on, look at the gift that me and dad bought for you.”
“Still carrying gifts, huh?” Auntie leaned in closer. “Lizzie, is this a blind date set up for you?”
Lizzie immediately denied, “No.”
“Hey, why are you still feeling embarrassed? There’s nothing to be embarrassed about! You’re already 18, after breaking up you should quickly find someone new.
Auntie came over and said, “Lizzie, let me tell you, even though Mr., Howland’s marriage fell through, I think this carriage driver is pretty

good too.”
“Yeah, even with a kid in tow, the job is definitely good, and the style is no less than Mr. Howland.”
Another neighbor chimed in.
“You’re already eighteen, been with Mr. Howland for two years, looking for someone better than Mr. Howland won’t be easy. This one is pretty good, you should cherish it.”
Vivian was still young and didn’t understand all this. Her little head was bobbing from side to side as these people talked.
Lizzie didn’t like hearing this, as if leaving Theron meant her life was just about finding the next man quickly.
Her life shouldn’t just end here.
“I just want to focus on my career right now.”
She didn’t say anything extra, she was afraid to say she didn’t like Oswaldo, telling them not to overthink, the first one to overthink might be Vivian in her arms.
Don’t be fooled by Vivian sometimes complaining about her dad, she’s definitely a loyal little fan and supporter of her dad. ·
Colton pushed Lizzie towards the Trevino’s house.
Behind, a woman who just stepped on a tack at Lizzie’s place, frownc unhappily.
“I’m already 18, after breaking up with Theron, what kind of person can I find next?”
“What’s the point of building your career when in the end, every

“She used to act all high and mighty, lost her job, now just stays at home all day, talking about her ‘career“!”
