She Stuns the World - Chapter 380: Chapter 380

It was seven o'clock in the evening, and it was almost dark.
Zayn said goodbye to his grandparents and went to the Donovan family's restaurant.
Wesley and his wife were already waiting in the parking lot with the others. As soon as they saw Athena's car, they walked over quickly.
Right after the car pulled over, Zayn got out, stood up straight, and saluted his parents, saying, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Wesley patted his shoulder with teary eyes, saying, "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
Claire hugged him as tears streamed down her face. "I missed you so much," she said. "I'm very, very happy that you're back..."
The others gathered around too and said, "Zayn, you're back. Welcome home!"
Josie was still cowering behind Maria. She craned her neck and looked at Zayn, her eyes filled with curiosity, shyness, and admiration as she said softly, "Hello, Zayn..."
She had only been at the Donovan family's home for two years and had not seen Zayn before.
To her, Zayn was like a hero in a comic book, someone she admired and longed for, yet felt so distant and unfamiliar.
Zayn heard her voice and lowered his head to look at her.
Their eyes met.
Josie quickly pulled her body back like a little rabbit and cowered behind Maria.
Zayn smiled, supported his mother, and greeted the others. "Arthur, Maria, long time no see. Thank you for taking care of the family these past few years."
Arthur stroked his head and said shyly, "You protect the country, and I manage the family. We split the work."
Maria blushed and poked her cheek with her finger, saying, "For me, it's not tough looking after the family at all. I have a fabulous time at home. I might be the happiest person in the family."
At this point, she instinctively looked at Athena with a silly smile.
Josie's soft voice came from behind her. "I, I am also the happiest person in the family."
Everyone laughed.
Zayn took two steps forward, knelt on one knee, and extended his hand. "Hello, Josie. I'm your brother. I'm deeply honored to see you. Can I shake your hand?"
"Sure..."
Josie craned his neck from behind Maria, stretched out her little hand, and carefully placed her palm on Zayn's hand.
Zayn gently held her hand and said, "Can I hug you?"
Josie hesitated for a moment. "Sure..."
She stepped out from behind Maria and raised her hands, feeling like she was... surrendering.
Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Zayn hugged Josie gently. He then let go of her and asked, "This is my first time at the restaurant. Can you hold my hand and take me there? I'm afraid I'd get lost."
Everyone was left speechless, thinking, 'He's quite good at coaxing kids. Come to think of it, it's not surprising. After all, he often took care of his younger siblings when he was a child, so he definitely has a knack for it.'
Hearing that her heroic brother needed her, Josie's eyes immediately lit up. She immediately patted her little chest and said, "Alright. I'll take you to the restaurant."
She grabbed Zayn's fingers and hopped along. "Zayn, let's go this way. There are fewer people here. Otherwise, it's very packed."
Zayn slowed down and matched her pace.
Everyone looked at the silhouettes of the tall brother and the little girl, their faces filled with satisfaction.
In the largest private room of the Donovan family's restaurant, most of the meat dishes and snacks were already prepared, almost filling the entire table.
Claire smiled and said, "The vegetables have to be stir-fried on the spot. Take your seats and go ahead with the meal. I can finish stir-frying in just over ten minutes."
Everyone knew that she wanted to personally cook for her son, whom she had not seen for a long time, so they did not dissuade her.
Arthur took the initiative to follow Claire, saying, "I'll help Mom carry the dishes."
After everyone sat down, they were not in a hurry to eat. They just chatted happily with Zayn.
Only after Claire was done with cooking all the dishes did everyone start eating.
Soon after they started eating, Jaden walked in.
