“Mmm-hmm!” Ellie planted a kiss on his cheek and went downstairs.
After Ellie left, Jamie came over to him and inquired softly, “Daddy, did you go on a date with another
woman?”
“Shh!” Zachary hurriedly covered Jamie’s mouth and whipped his head around to see if Ellie overheard
them. This was a sensitive matter. He could talk to his son about this, but it would be a bad idea to
inform his daughter.
After Ellie’s figure disappeared from sight, Zachary moved his hands away and he tapped at Jamie’s
head gently. “You cheeky rascal. What was that?” he demanded.
“Was I wrong?” Jamie let out an evil giggle. “For the past few days, you’re acting differently. Your eyes
are sparkling with delight. Sometimes, you’ll laugh without reason. Also, you’ve been home for the past
two years. Now, you’re staying out. That means you’re dating another woman!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You’re just a young boy, what do you know?” Zachary ruffled his hair.
“Hey, don’t mess up my hair!” Jamie shoved him away unhappily. “Isn’t dating another woman normal?
Why are you being secretive?”
“I…” Zachary trailed off when he saw the blazing fury in Robbie’s eyes.
“Robbie, Jamie! Come down and eat your breakfast!” Just then, Henry hollered from downstairs.
“Coming!” Jamie yelled in reply. “Daddy, I’m gonna head down first!”
“Go on.” Zachary patted his butt and watched as he toddled away. He tried to take Robbie’s hand, but
the latter avoided his touch and strode down the stairs without a word.
Noticing his mood, Zachary furrowed his eyebrows.
Robbie is more matured than Jamie and Ellie. He has been waiting for his mommy to come home, so
he probably wants me to do the same.
He doesn’t want anyone to replace his mommy.
Zachary wanted to tell him that he was dating their mommy, but this wasn’t the right time.
Forget it. For now, I’ll deal with the pressing matter.
He was taking a shower when someone knocked on the door hastily. It was Ben. “Mr. Nacht! Mr.
Nacht!” he yelled anxiously.
Knowing it was something urgent, Zachary immediately wrapped himself in a towel and walked out with
bubbles still visible on his head. “What is it?”
Ben rushed in and reported, “Ms. Lindberg is here!”
“What?” Zachary was stupefied. Swiftly, he regained his composure and ordered, “Stop them. Don’t let
Grandpa and the kids see them. I’ll change my clothes and head downstairs.”
“Yes!” Ben left promptly.
Zachary cleaned himself quickly and rushed down the stairs. Before he could reach them, he heard the
eagle screeching and the kids screaming in terror.
At once, he closed his eyes in disbelief. Damn you, woman. Are you seriously scaring your kids with
that eagle? Looks like you really have amnesia, huh?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDownstairs, Robbie’s brows were knitted together. He was terrified but put up a calm front.
Both Jamie and Ollie buried themselves into Henry’s arms in fear.
Henry gathered them in his arms and demanded furiously, “What is going on?”
“Mr. Nacht, they are from Northridge, here to offer an apology in person,” one bodyguard came and
informed Henry.
“How outrageous!” Henry huffed angrily. “They brought that eagle along to apologize to us? This is
obviously a provocation.”
“Yes!” the bodyguard replied and lowered his gaze nervously.
“Kill that eagle!” Henry slammed on the table and commanded.
“Well…” The bodyguard hesitated. Ben and Bruce were stopping them from doing anything, so it was
obvious that Zachary didn’t want them to get involved in this matter.
However, Henry was giving them contradicting orders. It was tough for them to be sandwiched between
both employers.
