“I’m fine, don’t worry…” Spencer could not help feeling a rush of complex emotions within himself. Looking at the kids, he made a wild guess daringly, “How about your Daddy’s name?”
It never came to his mind that Charlotte was already a mother.
Are these three children Mr. Zachary’s flesh and blood by any chance?
If my guess is right, why is Mr. Zachary treating them in such an indifferent way, without any sense of fatherly love?
Moreover, looks like they’re really intimidated by Mr. Zachary.
But, if he’s not their biological father, why does the domineering and arrogant Mr. Zachary treat them so differently?
“I-I don’t know…”
With her head lowered, Ellie’s tears flowed out of her eyes. She felt down whenever she was asked about her Daddy’s name; she was afraid to be humiliated by others as a child without a father.
“Mr. Spencer, why are you asking about this?” Jamie was displeased and frowned quizzically. “Are you having the same thought like the others? Will you also look down on us as we’re from an incomplete family without Daddy?”
“No, no! I don’t mean that.” Spencer tried his best to explain, “I asked about this just because I thought there might be a possibility that I actually know your Daddy. Oh dear, my poor Ellie! I shouldn’t have asked this question bluntly. I’m terribly sorry. Can you forgive me?”
“Alright, I accept your apology.”
Children were the mostly innocent and forgiving. As such, Jamie accepted his apology sportingly.
“Mr. Spencer, I hope that you won’t mention about Daddy again.” Robbie said firmly, “We only have Mommy.”
“Alright, I get it now.”
Spencer felt guilty as he had unintentionally inflicted pain to the children’s vulnerable feelings.
“I’ll get someone to protect your Mommy now. Don’t worry.”
Spencer made the necessary arrangements without hesitation. At the same time, he kept wondering who the kids’ father could be.
Nonetheless, it was not the right timing to be concerned about that now.
Because of the elevator incident earlier, Spencer did not send the kids home. He sent them directly to Henry’s Garden Villa which was located in the northern suburbs.
He bought them new clothes and other basic necessities. The three nurses, Amelia, Violet and Mildred also followed them back to the villa in order to take care of the kids.
Spencer had to rush back to the hospital again after the necessary arrangements were made. Upon leaving the villa, he reminded the maids to take good care of the kids.
The three kids had been there once previously. All the maids served them well, knowing that they were apples of Mr. Nacht’s eye.
Spencer told the kids that they could stay in the villa without any worries. If they felt bored, they could let the maids accompany them for a stroll in the garden, go for horse riding or swimming.
Even so, they were not in the mood as they were all very concerned about their Mommy’s safety.
Spencer convinced them that he would try to get in touch with their Mommy as soon as possible and bring her back safely.
The kids finally felt relieved upon hearing his words.
Once in the car, Spencer was initially thinking of calling Zachary regarding Charlotte’s matter. After thinking for a while, he changed his mind. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Zachary is deliberately keeping mum about the relationship between Charlotte and the three kids. To play safe, I better zip my mouth as well.
Just wait till Mr. Nacht comes to his senses later.
The car was in total silence as he was lost deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Zachary was calling Zara in his Rolls-Royce.
After quite a while, the call was finally answered by a languorous voice.
“What are you trying to do?” Holding back the burning rage in his heart, Zachary questioned, “She has nothing to do with the grudge and dispute between both of us. Why did you abduct her?”
“Since you didn’t let me see Mr. Henry, I’ve no choice!” Zara said with a sense of sarcasm. “Even though he has passed the right of inheritance on to you, he hasn’t set a will for other properties. I could be the inheritor! You’ve no right to stop me from seeing him!”
“Grandpa is still alive, yet you’re already so impatient?” Zachary said in an icy-cold tone, “There is already a lot in your possession. Don’t be too greedy.”
“How ridiculous,” Zara jeered, “All these are supposed to belong to me!”
“Your father had passed away long ago. I’ve been the one managing everything for this family painstakingly. Just because of my gender, your Grandpa would rather pass you the right of inheritance instead of me. You’re just a greenhorn at that time, so how could you deserve it?”
