Chapter 1023
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Although the business battle between the Nachts and the Lindbergs did not seem to influence the children, it was clear that they were still affected.
What Charlotte feared was slowly happeningâ¦
âDonât worry, I can resolve it.â Zachary stroked Robbieâs head. âYouâre still a child, so donât worry about all this stuff.â
âAre you really alright?â Robbie was still worried about him.
âSilly boy! Iâm invincible.â Regaining his domineering demeanor, Zachary patted his chest and said, âHow can such a simple problem stump me?â
âThatâs good, then.â Looking at how confident Zachary was, Robbie heaved a sigh of relief. âYou must take care.â
âI know.â Zachary pinched his cheeks before turning around and stretching his hands out to Charlotte. âCome, hug me too!â
âGet lost!â Charlotte glared at him coldly. However, she unconsciously glanced at his bandaged hand. Looks like Iâve really bitten him hard last night.
A feeling of guilt surfaced within her, but she forcefully replaced it with a cold attitude.
âHaha!â Zachary did not mind either and ruffled her hair affectionately instead. He turned around and bade the kids farewell. âIâm leaving now. You must be good, okay?â
âBye, Daddy!â
The children waved goodbye to Zachary.
âCome here after youâre done with work. Iâll give you a thorough check-up,â reminded Dr. Felch.
âOkay. Thank you, Dr. Felch!â
Zachary nodded with a smile.
A subordinate from the Nacht residence walked downstairs with the luggage.
Outside, Marino had already prepared the car. Through the car window, he gazed at Morgan from afar.
Although she met his gaze, she did not dare to approach him and greet him.
âMommy, I want to go out and send Daddy off!â
Jamie ran out immediately after saying that.
Robbie dashed out as well.
âMommy, I want to go tooâ¦â Ellie became anxious.
âOkay, Iâll follow all of you there.â
Carrying Ellie, Charlotte went out to send Zachary off.
After waving to the kids, Zachary got into the car.
When Ellie saw the car zoom away, she burst into tears.
Upon hearing Ellieâs sobs, Jamie cried as well. However, he pouted stubbornly, refusing to make any sounds.
Meanwhile, Robbieâs eyes were red as he lowered his head quietly.
âItâs fine. Daddyâs just going to the office to work. Itâs not like heâs never coming back!â consoled Charlotte. âIf you miss him, you can call him.â
âI want to see Daddy every day,â said Ellie through sobs. âI want our family to be together foreverâ¦â
âMe too!â agreed Jamie as he wiped his tears. âI have been very happy these few days.â
Although Robbie did not say anything, his reaction was even more worrying.
Gazing at the kids, Charlotte felt a turmoil of emotions.
She really hoped that the kids could be happy every day. However, she did not dare to promise them anything. Her only method to calm them down was to change the topicâ¦
Charlotte had to console them for a long time before they felt better.
Then, they went on with their daily routine.
Ellie went for her medical treatment, while Robbie and Jamie attended their online lessons.
There was still a lot of work that Charlotte had not settled, so she planned to work in the study room.
At that moment, Lupine brought some documents over for her to sign.
Morgan also came to report to her.
When Lupine saw her look of joy, she teased, âAs expected of someone in love! Even catching a brief glimpse of each other, despite being dozens of feet apart, can make you happy for the entire day.â
âYou only know how to tease me,â rebuked Morgan as she blushed. âAre you disappointed that Ben isnât here?â
âNonsense! Iâm not,â denied Lupine immediately. âDo you think that Iâm as smitten as you are?â
âYouâre just stubborn,â joked Morgan. âItâs been half a month since Ben showed up. You definitely miss him!â
âWhatâs there to miss about him?â
âHe didnât show up for half a month?â Startled, Charlotte glanced at Lupine and asked, âWhatâs Ben doing?â
