Chapter 956
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âI donât want to return to my room.â Robbie reacted agitatedly when he saw Henryâs attitude. âWhat are you doing?
Are you going to bully Mommy behind my back?â
âYouâre not allowed to bully Mommy!â
Jamie stumbled down the stairs anxiously.
It was Zacharyâs first time feeling so indignant. Whoâs the one being bullied here?
Henry frowned. He knew how badly the children were impacted when Charlotte disappeared two years ago.
Because of that, Robbie ignored him for two yearsâ¦
âMommy!â Robbie ran down the stairs, spread his arms out in front of Charlotte and shielded her. He yelled furiously, âNo one is allowed to chase Mommy away. If she leaves, Iâll leave with her!â
âMe too!â Jamie planted himself in front of her. âIâll go wherever Mommy goes! Thatâs what Ellie said too.â
âI didnât protect Mommy well two years ago. This time, I definitely wonât fail again!â
When Robbie remembered what happened two years ago, he was engulfed with regret. With tears welling in his eyes, he said agitatedly, âGreat-grandpa, two years ago, you lied to me that youâre sending Mommy away to treat her illness. In reality, you chased her and Mrs. Berry out of the country, causing her to be pursued by others. Mrs.
Berry even got killed! Iâll not believe you this time around!â
âYeah!â Jamie raised his head and agreed angrily, âWeâll just leave together. Since Mommyâs rich now, we wonât go hungry!â
Henry opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
A turmoil of complex emotions was surging through him. Despite feeling furious, he also regretted what happened two years ago.
Most of his guilt was directed to the children.
âJamie, Robbie, you canât speak to your great-grandpa like that.â Zachary squatted down and coaxed the children, âYouâve misunderstood. Great-grandpa isnât chasing Mommy out and sheâs not leaving either.â
âIs this our home, Daddy?â asked Robbie.
âOf course!â Zachary nodded.
âSince this is our home, we have the right to let Mommy stay,â insisted Robbie indignantly. âMommy has everything now. Although she doesnât like this place, sheâs staying to take care of us! No one is allowed to bully her!â
âNo oneâs bullying her.â Zachary glanced at Charlotte. âDonât worry!â
âBut didnât youâ¦â
âDidnât you see? Mommyâs bullying me!â A pitiful look crossed Zacharyâs face. âIf you didnât appear in time, she wouldâve beaten me up!â
Robbie glanced at Charlotte. âIs that true, Mommy?â
âYes.â Charlotte nodded. âBecause he didnât do a good job in protecting you.â
âThen he deserves a beating,â concluded Robbie.
Zachary was speechless. Looks like I donât even have any say in this family.
âThatâs it.â Not wanting the children to be affected, Henry stared at Charlotte and said, âBring the kids upstairs to rest first. If thereâs anything else, weâll discuss it in the study room with the other adults.â
âFine.â Charlotte returned his gaze coldly and instructed Morgan, âTake them upstairs.â
âYes, Ms. Lindberg.â Morgan walked over and coaxed Robbie and Jamie to go upstairs.
âNoâ¦â Robbie refused to leave. Sobbing, he said, âTwo years ago, I was tricked into leaving. Mommy disappeared after thatâ¦â
âYou foolish boy.â Charlotte squatted down and consoled him gently, âIâm different now. No one can chase me away unless I want to leave on my own. However, if I do, Iâll definitely bring all of you along with me.â
âOkay.â Nodding profusely, Robbie cupped her cheeks. âMommy, bring me wherever you go. Iâll protect you!â
âI know.â Charlotte felt extremely touched. âBe a good boy and go upstairs with Jamie!â
âAlright.â He held Jamieâs hand. âLetâs go upstairs, Jamie. â
