Chapter 309
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Charlotte disregarded the pacifying as she wept even harder. She turned to look at the family picture that hung on the wall. âFifi, where do you think Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie have gone? Have they been kidnapped by the bad guys?â
âBad guys, bad guysâ¦â Fifi repeated the two words.
Charlotte suddenly thought of Zachary. Could it be him that took away the kids?
The words that I said before leaving the Nachtsâ residence⦠had it angered him?
And just because of that, he would take away my kids?No wayâ¦
The shrill ringing of her phone broke the peace in the house. Charlotte leapt to her feet and rushed into her room immediately. In her haste, she accidentally knocked her waist against the wall, and it was so painful that it felt as if her bones had broken, but she resisted the pain and rushed to grab her phone from the bed.
The phone call was from Zachary.
âHello?â She answered.
âWhere are you?â Zachary asked.
âZachary, have you kidnapped my kids?â Charlotte questioned him hysterically.
âWhat nonsense is this?â Zachary replied coldly. âWhy would I kidnap your kids?â
Charlotte froze up at his reply before she quickly came back to her senses. âNo, itâs nothing.â
She knew that although Zachary had a brutal nature, he was a man that would not play dirty tricks.
Such was his strong and honest character.
To be frank, he looked upon such trickeries with disdain.
If he was the one that had taken her kids, he would have admitted it before she even asked.
Since he was so stunned by her question, it further proved that he did not kidnap her kids.
âWhat happened?â Zachary pressed on.
âNothing, Iâm hanging up firstâ¦â
Charlotte was in no mood to bother him anymore as she felt both irritated and frustrated at the same time. Without another word, she ended the call abruptly.
On the other end of the phone, Zachary was in disbelief that Charlotte dared to hang up.
His brows furrowed as he recalled her earlier wordsâ¦
âMr. Nachtâ¦â Ben saw the way Zacharyâs face clouded over with anger when Charlotte hung up, and he cautiously opened his mouth to pacify him, âRaina told me earlier that Mrs. Berry has fallen sick.
Charlotte is now at the hospital. Maybe sheâs too worried about Mrs. Berry.â
âIs that any of my business?â Zachary snapped back coldly. âAm I the one that made Mrs. Berry sick?â
âNo, what I meantâ¦â
âJust shut up!â Zachary shot him a glare as he grabbed his car keys and prepared to head out.
âZachary, where are you going?â Sharon was just about to enter his villa when he stormed out. âIâm planning to cook these king crabs that I bought earlier. We should have dinner together tonight!â
Zachary left without sparing a glance at her. âIâm busy.â
âZachary, Zacharyâ¦â Sharon called out a few times in desperation.
Seeing that Zachary ignored her, Sharon was so angry that she stomped her feet in frustration. Sheâd spent so much time and effort to win him over, but he treated her existence like nothing.
When she came back the other day, his attitude was relatively warm. But after that, he had become more and more distant.
All of this was because of that wench Charlotte!
Whenever Sharon thought of that woman, she would grit her teeth in fury.
However, she wouldnât be discouraged so easily. At least I still had Grandpa Nachtâs support!
âMs. Blackwood, what should I do with these crabs?â An attendant asked carefully.
âYou guys can have it yourself,â Sharon said brusquely as she called up Grandpa Nacht. Immediately, her voice transformed into a softer and more demure tone. âGrandpa, I cooked your favorite vegetarian foods. We should have dinner together.â
âIâm at the hospital. You donât need to make such an effort.â old Mr. Nacht replied.
âWhat? Youâre in the hospital?â Sharon gasped in shock. âWhat happened? Are you feeling unwell?â
âNo, my driver knocked into a little kid by accident. Iâm handling matters in the hospital right now.â He glanced at his watch. âIf you hadnât mentioned it earlier, I would have forgotten the time. Itâs almost eight now. How about you send the food over to the Serene Hospital?â
âAlright, Iâll start preparing.â
Sharon ended the call and called her maids into the kitchen. She even dismissed the existing cook of the Nachtsâ residence.
Once the kitchen door was closed shut, Sharon stood aside whilst she fiddled with her phone. âHurry up. Grandpa Nacht is waiting for the food.â She urged them.
âYes Miss.â
âLater on, youâll have to say that I made the food, alright?â
âYes, understood!â
