Zachary looked at his son for several seconds before asking calmly, "And what did you say to Granny?"
Skylar immediately straightened his little back. "I told Granny I only have one mommy."
He pointed proudly at Sienna. "My Mommy Sienna."
Then he added with complete confidence, "I also told that aunty not to be mean to Mommy."
A smile tugged at the corner of Zachary's mouth. "So my buddy protected Mommy?"
Skylar nodded proudly. "Of course."
"And did Mommy protect you too?"
Skylar's eyes widened. "Yes. Monny is very brave!"
He lifted his wrist toward Zachary. "That aunty grabbed me here."
Zachary's smile disappeared. His gaze immediately dropped to Skylar's wrist, where the faint redness had not completely faded.
His expression remained composed, but his eyes grew noticeably colder.
He gently examined Skylar's wrist before asking in an even voice, "Does it still hurt?"
Skylar thought about it for a moment before shaking his head. "Not anymore."
