Chapter 520
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
A moment later, Fifi had finished drinking the entire glass of wine. She gave a resounding burp and fell asleep in the glass.
âFifi!â Jamie grabbed hold of her and pulled her out of the wine glass. He gave Fifi a good shake, trying to shake the droplets of wine out of Fifiâs feathers.
Fifi looked a little dazed. She stuck out her red tongue as her eyes rolled around in their sockets.
âJamie, put her down right down!â Ellie slid down from the sofa and ran over to Jamie. She grabbed poor Fifi from him and yelped, âYou canât shake Fifi around like this! Youâll make her throw up.â
Ellie still didnât understand what being drunk meant.
âOh, alright thenâ¦â Jamie frowned crossly. He mumbled to himself, âGirls are too much trouble.â
Zacharyâs lips curved into a smile. He pulled Jamie to sit down next to him and asked, âTell me, what else do you like?â
âI like guns!â Jamie said, his head tilted in thought. He said seriously, âI also like airplanes, cars, battleshipsâ¦basically, I like everything that a man should take interest in, including pretty girls.â
âWowâ¦â Zachary felt a little stunned. âYouâre still so young, and you already take an interest in pretty girls?â
âOf course!â Jamieâs handsome face took on a rather haughty expression. âI had three girlfriends in kindergarten, you knowâ¦â
ââ¦â
Zachary was at a loss for words. He never thought the Nacht family would have such a playboy among themâafter all, both he and his father were known to be great romantics.
However, he heard that Henry had used to be quite the playboy when he was younger too.
Beep, beep! Zachary heard his phone ring again. When he saw who was calling, he picked up the phone immediately. âHello?â
âMr. Nacht, Iâ¦â
âZachary, itâs me.â Sharonâs voice sounded from the other end of the phone. He could sense how anxious she was from her urgent tone. âWhen are you going to stop avoiding me? Even if you have certain thoughts about me, canât you tell it to me face-to-face instead?â
âIâve already warned you not to look for me at my company,â Zachary said, frowning.
âI was forced into it, alright? I tried calling you, and you refused to pick up. You even ignored all my messages and blocked my number? What else could I do but call you using Lucyâs phoneâ¦â
âThereâs no point in calling me. Whatever is going to happen will happen. Weâll decide on the matter once Grandpa wakes up.â
As soon as he finished saying those words, Zachary hung up the phone. He looked down at Jamie, who was squirming around in his arms.
He looked a little frightened as he curled up in Zacharyâs arms and stared up at him.
âWhatâs wrong?â Zachary asked, smiling slightly.
âYou looked so scary just now when you were talking on the phone,â Jamie said timidly.
âIndeed. I always look more serious when Iâm talking about work matters,â Zachary mused, smiling slightly. âI only tone it down a little when Iâm with the three of you and your Mommy.â
âOh, thatâs good, then.â Jamie heaved a sigh of relief. He tilted his head and asked curiously. âWell, are you Mommyâs boyfriend then?â
Zachary didnât know how to react to Jamieâs question. In actual fact, he was their biological father, but since he and Nicole werenât married yet, they were technically still on girlfriend-boyfriend basis.
âIt doesnât matter. Anyway, I donât know if my jerk of a father is alive or not. If you can treat Mommy nicely, I suppose we can accept you into our familyâ¦â
As Jamie prattled on, he didnât realize that the expression on Zacharyâs face had changed completely.
âYour jerk of a father?â Zachary repeated with a frown. âWhat has your mother been telling you?â
âMommy has never talked to us about him.â Here, Jamie looked a little sad. âWe get teased all the time in kindergarten. I went to ask Mrs. Berry, and she got very agitated. She said that our father was an irresponsible jerkâ¦â
âAlthough she recanted her words almost immediately, I knew at once that the man was a good-for-
nothing piece of trash. But youâre different from him, Uncle Zack! You treat both Mommy and us nicely, and youâre even Grandpaâs eldest grandchild.â
âIâve decided to accept you!â
Zachary felt rather stunned. He decided that heâd better talk this over with Charlotte first before discussing it with the kidsâ¦
