Passion 231

Chapter 231

Kiki sensed something was wrong and immediately called Zachary’s teacher. “Hello, Zac’s teacher. Can you let Zac answer the phone?”

“Is this Zac’s mom? Zac’s dad came by earlier and took him home,” the teacher said.

Dad?

Was it Xavier? No way! Xavier didn’t even know Zachary was his child!

Could it be…

Kiki was stunned.

“Hello, ma’am? Are you still there?”

“How could you let someone else take my son? What if he was a bad person? Who was he? What did he look like?” Kiki shouted angrily into the phone.

If Zachary went missing, how would she explain it to Yvette? This teacher was too irresponsible!

Kiki knew Yvette cared about her sons very much. She feared even the slightest mishap might befall them.

Now, Zachary had been taken away, and Kiki hadn’t even known about it.

Ignoring the personal items thrown on the ground, Kiki quickly hailed a cab and told the driver to go to the international kindergarten.

The teacher was also confused. “You mean you don’t know what the child’s father looks like?”

Kiki’s face turned red with anger. “The child’s father and I had a one–night stand; I’ve never even seen his

face. What about it?”

It was incredibly irresponsible for a teacher to let someone take the child without informing the parents in

advance.

The teacher felt a bit wronged and quickly explained, “Ma’am, please don’t be angry. I had no choice; the principal brought that man in. He was tall, about six feet two inches, handsome, and had charming eyes. Oh, and I think his last name was Shaw…” The teacher described with the limited vocabulary she had.

Tristan was the only man Kiki knew whose surname was Shaw.

She immediately hung up and called Tristan. “Sorry, the number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”

Kiki’s hands were trembling. “He didn’t block me, did he? What now? Zac…”

The artificial sea outside Tristan’s place at Bay Villa was nothing short of impressive.

Zachary’s first impression upon being forcibly brought there was that these people were–foolishly rich.

-He realized he shouldn’t have stolen money from his real father; he should have taken money from this

fake father who had mistaken him for his son.

They were in the car when Tristan asked Zachary, “Brat, you never expected me to take you away during

your class, did you?”

Tristan’s almond–shaped eyes reflected Zachary’s calm and composed figure. “Just cry if you’re scared. I won’t laugh at you.”

After all, Zachary was Tristan’s biological son. Tristan wouldn’t mind comforting him if he cried.

Zachary looked at him with eyes as deep as obsidian. Just one glance made Tristan shudder. Why did Zachary’s demeanor remind him so much of someone?

Tristan didn’t like being stared at like this, so he pinched Zachary’s cheeks.

“Didn’t Mommy teach you how to butter up your dad?”

Even though Zachary was speechless, he didn’t reveal the truth. He went with the flow instead. “My mom said I don’t have a dad.”

Tristan was puzzled when he heard Zachary say proudly, “Mom said my dad died when I was born because I’m a jinx.”

It was Tristan’s turn to be at a loss for words. He couldn’t believe Kiki would tell a child such a lie. Knowing that Tristan hadn’t realized he was cursing him, Zachary kindly asked, “Mister, are you really my dad? If you are, doesn’t that mean you’re a dead man now?”

Tristan’s expression turned dark. “Don’t make me tear your mouth apart.”

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Zachary’s eyes. “Mister, are you really that petty? My teacher often tells us that only cowards choose to use violence to bully those weaker than themselves. Besides, I’m just a child.

Tristan’s grip on Zachary’s face loosened before he lifted Zachary onto his shoulder and got out of the car. “Little brat, I’m not your father if I don’t teach you a lesson today.”
