Chapter 1700 Little Ones
âSorry, Dr. Felch. I can't do anything here, much less save you.â Zachary shrugged, and then he
smiled. âYou guys are a couple. You'll sort this out soon enough.â
âI am not his wife!â Francesca was obviously enraged by Zachary's remark. âZachary, you fool! Bust
me out of here right now or you'll just die rotting!â
âSend him out!â Danrique lost interest in the argument, and he was about to leave with Francesca.
Suddenly, someone in the courtyard screamed, âOh my god! It's Mommy! That's Mommy right
there!â
âMommy! Mommy!â
Danrique looked back and saw Robbie and the other kids coming into the front yard. The kids were
really excited to see Francesca, and they quickly ran up to her.
"Kids!" Francesca flailed her legs around again when she saw her kids. âPut me down now!â
Danrique frowned, but he put her down nonetheless.
âMommy!â The kids pounced at Francesca, and the impact made her fall back to the ground.
Danrique reflexively tried to hold her, but Francesca didnât seem to feel any pain at all. She rubbed
her butt and played with the kids happily. A frown dotted his forehead, and Danrique pulled his
hand back.
âI've missed you, girls!â Francesca held the kids and slobbered all over them.
The kids were also hugging and kissing her as well. They lay in her embrace, refusing to leave.
Danrique was envious of the love between Francesca and the kids, for nobody had treated him with
that kind of love before.
"Mommy, Mommy, we've missed you so much!â The kids held her tightly, and they started sobbing
all of a sudden, their eyes filled with tears.
âI've missed you too, kids.â Francesca was tearing up as well. She was a petite woman, but she held
the kids tightly in her arms.
Danrique gazed at her. She only shows this side of her in front of the kids.
âAhem.â Zachary coughed a few times to draw attention to himself. âAlpha, Beta, Gamma. Uncle
Zachary is here, you know.â
The kids shifted their attention to him. They were surprised at first, but when they snapped out of it,
Alpha and Beta got so excited, they almost pounced at him. âUncle Zachary!â
âHold it!â Gamma stopped her siblings and stared at Zachary warily. âSomeone impersonated our
uncle before, and that guy's a villain. He yelled at us. You might be an impostor too.â
Zachary quickly brought up the kidsâ favorite stuff, âAlpha likes seedless grapes as well as the grilled
mutton and demi-glace ribs Mrs. Rawlston makes. Beta loves meat and hot cross bunnies. You
always get into a fight with Jamie because of that. Gamma loves snake soup, and the snake must be
freshly caught by Marino.â He paused for a moment. âI think I got all that right, correct?â
âYep, yep!â The kids knew that was the real Zachary, so they left their mother's embrace and
pounced at their uncle. âYou're finally back! We've missed you!â
"And we've missed you too, Robbie, Jamie, Ellie, and Aunt Charlotte!â
"Hey, what's wrong with your leg, Uncle Zachary? I know, Mommy can help you with that! She's
super great at this kind of stuff.â
âThanks for the concern, kids.â Zachary patted the kids" heads lovingly, and for the first time in a
while, a gentle smile curled his lips.
Danrique had mixed feelings about the scene. The kids didnât even recognize him, but they
showered all their love on Zachary the moment they saw him.
