Chapter 561

The president’s office was so well-insulated that the sound from the previous commotion had not passed through the wall to the adjacent room where the children were. They had no idea what had transpired.

The bad mood caused by the intrusion of the uninvited guest just now had been allayed by the fun and games.

The three children had a great time playing VR games in the lounge.

The gaming setup in here was the most advanced. Equipped with hi-tech seats, the gaming experience was as real as it could get, almost transporting the children into the game itself.

The trio was seated side-by-side in the seats, donning the special goggles. They were experiencing the mysteries of space currently.

From time to time, they exclaimed excitedly and screamed in pleasant surprise as their hands fluttered around.

Fifi seemed to be joining in the fun as well, as it flapped its wings and flew around the screen, seemingly wanting to enter into the same world to experience the same joys as the three children.

Zachary had changed his clothes and walked in. Witnessing the children’s elation, he could not help but curved the corner of his lips into a satisfied smirk.

He felt he now knew why Charlotte was so obsessed with money in the past. For the sake of earning more, she would even sell him off to some rich cougar…

After all, it was all for the sake of raising up these three little rascals!

No matter what trials and tribulations one faced outside, the moment one stepped back home and witnessed the three of them, surely all troubles and worries of the day would just dissipate…

“Mr. Nacht…” Seeing him coming over, the three nurses prepared to inform the children.

Zachary gestured to them not to disturb the children. He wanted to let them finish the game first.

Outside, Ben had already readied the car. Bruce stepped in and mentioned, “Sir, shall I go back to fetch Ms. Windt?”

“Don’t worry too much about it.” Checking his watch, Zachary decided, “We’ll go over first. Let her set out one hour later.”

“Understood.”

“There’s something else I wish to report.” Leaning into Zachary’s ear, Bruce whispered, “Ms. Nacht has been staying in H City and hasn’t left. Mayhap she is waiting for the news of the old man waking up.”

Upon hearing these words, Zachary deeply furrowed his brows. He had not cared much for neither the Blackwoods nor the Browns. The troublesome one he was wary of was this aunt of his.

She possessed a black heart and a cunning mind. Her methods were swift and vicious. Her plots were sly and subtle. She would do anything and sacrifice anyone to achieve her insidious goals. Those qualities combined made her a formidable opponent not to be underestimated.

During the last visit to Grandpa, even though she seemingly did nothing out of place, he had long suspected that there was something amiss. He did not manage to smell out the tricks up her sleeves…

Due to this, he dared not to lower his guard against her.

“Let’s not fetch Charlotte today,” Zachary uttered, changing his mind, “Deploy more personnel to protect the children.”

“Acknowledged.” Bruce immediately sprang to action.

Zachary had known that something that happened last time had cast a great shadow over Charlotte.

She herself had known that her father’s death was related to Zara. Should a chance encounter occur at the hospital between two of them later, Zachary could not predict what the outcome would be…

It would be troublesome as well should the children be frightened.

Rather than taking chances, might as well not let her go this time. Utilizing all manpower to ensure the children’s safety would be the next prudent thing to do.

As the children were still engrossed in their games, Zachary went out and called Charlotte.

“Hi!” His call was quickly picked up. Charlotte sounded groggy as if she had just woken up from her sleep, “What’s the matter?”

“Grandpa is awake,” Zachary curtly relayed the good news.

“Really?” Seemingly fully awake from her previous slumber, Charlotte joyfully asked, “That’s great!

Shall we go there earlier? Let me start preparing now…”

“No.” Zachary cut her off and gently said, “Just rest at home. We won’t go over today.”

“Huh?” Charlotte had not expected the reply and reacted, “Why? Then what about the children?”

“I’ll take them over,” Zachary answered.

Charlotte was surprised. After all, he had promised in the morning to take her along. Suddenly now he had changed his mind…

What does this signify?

Perhaps he did not plan to tell old Henry about her yet. Even worse, maybe he had not prepared to marry her?

“Daddy…” The shouts of the children could be heard coming from the back.

“I’ll hang up the call first,” Zachary informed before advising, “Get some good rest.”

Immediately after, he hung up.
