Chapter 1372
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1372 Charlotte had always been extra gentle and patient with Jamie, Ellie, and Danriqueâs girls, but when it came to Robbie, she could always speak to him frankly.
After all, Robbie was mature for his age.
When the boy realized he did something wrong, he lowered his head and walked over to his mother. âIâm sorry. I shouldnât get mad at Jamie,â he said softly.
âRobbie, youâre like a teacher to Jamie. Itâs totally okay if you want to give him constructive comments so he improves, but you might want to consider doing it in a better way,â Charlotte comforted him with a smile.
âI know, Mommy.â
âI know youâre in a bad mood because youâre worried about Daddy,â Charlotte replied, caressing his head, âBut Daddy and Mommy set you a good example. Weâve never projected our emotions onto you guys.â
âIâm sorry, Mommy⦠I wonât do it again.â
âThatâs my boy,â Charlotte said, pulling the boy into her arms.
âHowâs Daddy going, Mommy? Is his injury serious?â Robbie looked at her with his red eyes, trying hard not to sound too anxious.
âHe was knocked by a vase and he bled a lot, but heâs out of danger already. Donât worry. Heâs going home later, so I guess Mr. Ben will be picking you guys up to go over later. Youâll be able to see him then.â
âHeâs checking out so fast? Who did this to him?â
âDaddy took the impact for me. The vase fell from above and we still have no idea who did it. Theyâre running an investigation to look into it right now. Mr. Ben will tell us what happened when he gets more information about this.â
âAlright,â Robbie said quietly. He thought for a bit and asked, âIs Daddy okay? Is he hurting elsewhere other than his head?â
âYou also realized thereâs something off with Daddy?â
Charlotte was shocked that Robbie actually sensed there was something wrong with Zachary.
She spotted Robbieâs evasive gaze. He looked restless.
Although Robbie was a mature boy, he was not good at hiding his feelings. After all, he was just a six year-old.
Charlotte knew the boy was trying to keep it a secret from her, so she decided to try a different approach. âI feel something is not right too. Iâm worried that Daddy is hiding his sickness from us and bearing it all alone. I need to get to the bottom of this.â
âHow are you gonna find out the truth?â the boy asked.
âIâm going to Mount Phoenix to pay my respects to Dr. Felch. Iâll ask Hayley if she knows about Daddy. Donât say a word to anyone about this, okay?â Charlotte instructed.
âI wonât, Mommy,â the boy replied instantly, his voice betraying a hint of thrill. âYou still care about Daddy, donât you? I thought youâd just let him be.â
âOf course, I care about Daddy. I know he doesnât want to let me know, but Iâm still gonna find out,â she said, patting his head.
âI actually wasnât planning on telling you this, but youâre a smart boy. I wonât be able to keep this from you for long, so itâs better to just lay all the cards so you wonât worry too much about Daddy.â
Robbie nodded. âThanks for telling me this, Mommy. I actually realized there was something wrong with Daddy.
When Dr. Felch passed away, he was already at his place before we arrived. That means he went to see Dr. Felch earlier on, but Dr. Felch was not someone who likes socializing. Although he was good friends with great-grandpa, Dr. Felch only went to see him when there were important matters. As for you and Ellie, Dr. Felch had cured your disease, so thereâs no good reason for Daddy to see him privately.â
The boy spelled his doubts to Charlotte coherently. It was apparent that he had put in a lot of thoughts about what he observed.
âBesides, he suddenly stopped halfway when he was reading us a story. He stopped for a good minute and he seemed disturbed. Then he started making up a weird ending for the story. I feel like thereâs something wrong with his vision. Thatâs why he made up the story.â
