Chapter 622
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Zachary was about to have breakfast with the children when the sound of a car pulling up came to his ears. âMr. Nacht is here!â
âThis early?â asked Zachary, startled. He had no choice but to bring the children out to receive his grandfather.
The car door swung open. Spencer, with the help of a bodyguard, helped Henry out of the car and onto his wheelchair.
âGreat-grandpa! Great-grandpa!â squealed the children.
They dashed towards him, calling out at the top of their lungs.
Henry smiled broadly at them. His mood was especially good. âHave you had your breakfast?â
âWe are just about to have our breakfast,â said Ellie as she held out a boiled egg. âI just peeled this, great-grandpa. Try it please!â
âMmm, delicious!â Henry said after a bite.
âItâs just an ordinary egg. Whatâs so delicious about that?â Zachary joked.
âMind your own business,â said Henry fiercely as he glared at Zachary. âThis was given to me by my beloved great-granddaughter.â He turned back to Ellie and stroked her hair. âYour braid is so pretty, Ellie!â
âMrs. Berry did it for me,â said Ellie. She tugged at her braid happily. âThis is the princess braid, like the one in the movies.â
âMy little Ellie is a princess too!â Henry pinched Ellieâs cheek affectionately.
âGreat-grandpa, do I look good in this suit?â Jamie approached him to show off his new suit. âWe are going for a wedding photoshoot later! That is why we are all dressed up.â
Henry was taken aback. He glared at Zachary ferociously. Cheeky rascal! He did not ask me for permission again! Theyâre taking wedding pictures now?
âGreat-grandpa, are you here to be in the photo shoot with us?â Robbie asked Henry with a smile. Mrs.
Berry and Fifi will be there too.â
âBe there, be there!â the parrot squawked excitedly and flapped her wings above their heads.
âIâm going to join in the fun as well,â Mrs. Berry chimed in. âWe have never taken a family portrait before.â
âWe will take one today.â Ellie ran over and pulled Mrs. Berry by the arm. âMrs. Berry, why didnât you get changed?â
âThat dress is so tight I couldnât breathe in it. Iâll change into it when we get there.â Mrs. Berry grew red at the thought of her dress. âThe fabric is too little. There is a whole chunk missing in front and behind.
What a wicked designer,â she whispered to Ellie behind her hand.
Spencer stifled a laugh as Henry smiled. The latter was much better at concealing his humor. He turned to Zachary and said, âFollow me into the study. I have something to discuss with you.â
âYes, grââ said Zachary, but was interrupted by an alarm on Benâs watch. âItâs Marino!â Ben cried, his face grey.
Every elite bodyguard of the Nacht family owned a unique watch that emits signals in times of trouble such as this. The other bodyguards will receive the distress call and rush to the troubled oneâs aid.
âBring the car around. Now!â Zachary commanded firmly.
The bodyguards obeyed him swiftly and Zachary jumped into the car. âProtect Mr. Henry and the children,â Zachary ordered as Ben was about to hop in after him.
âYes, sir,â Ben answered, and watched Zachary until he departed. When he turned around, he found the children staring in the direction Zachary took off to with terrified expressions on their faces.
âBring the children in,â Henry ordered, his eyes filled with fury.
âYes, sir,â a bodyguard answered and rounded them up.
However, Robbie flung his arm aside. âIs Mommy in trouble?â he demanded. May said Marino drove Mommy this morning. If Marino is in trouble, then it meansâ¦
