“I have never asked you to spend the rest of your life with Sharon…” Apart from frustration, there was weariness in Henry’s tone. “Just marry her first and hang on temporarily. After Nacht Group has survived this crucial moment and once the operation stabilizes, you have the freedom to divorce her at any time. I won’t stop you from doing that by then.”
“To me, marriage is supposed to be once in a lifetime affair, and it can’t be exploited as a stepping stone just for the sake of my career advancement. I would never give in to my marriage. It’s merely an act of cheating and is really unfair to my future spouse as well. Grandpa, I really hope you understand.”
Zachary responded sternly as his face darkened.
“My parents became the victims because of your so-called arrangement. Haven’t you learned a lesson from their misfortune?”
“You…” Henry was instantly infuriated, yet he could not refute him.
Spencer chimed in and said tactfully, “Mr. Nacht, we are unable to decide on everything for the younger generation. They have their own rights to make their own choice in whom they marry. Just let Mr. Zachary decide for himself.”
“You silly old bugger, what do you know? You’d better shut up!” Henry unleashed his anger onto Spencer.
“Mr. Nacht, allow me to point out something. Ms. Blackwood has been insidious and scheming all this while, yet she looked and acted as if she was innocent.
“If she is really married to Mr. Zachary, do you think she will treat your three beloved great grandchildren nicely? “If she tortures them secretly again without you and Mr. Zachary’s knowledge, the consequence can be worrying indeed…”
Even though Spencer had not really finished his words, he had managed to trigger Henry’s thoughts.
As expected, Henry’s expression changed as his mind sank into deep thought.
My three precious great-grandchildren are definitely a lot more important than Synder Group!
Henry finally gave in after pondering for quite a while. “Alright, since you’ve already called off the wedding, there’s nothing more I can say.”
“Grandpa, thanks for being understanding…” Zachary heaved a sigh of relief.
“The mother of the three kids seems to be quite a nice woman, although she comes from normal family background. I can see that the children are brought up well, it proves that she is a woman of virtue. At least, she’s still a lot better than Charlotte Windt,” said Henry analytically.
Upon hearing Henry’s words, Spencer stiffened.
“Actually, Charlotte is…”
“Mr. Zachary!” Spencer immediately cut him off and winked at him. “The three kids are still waiting outside for you. How about you go back with them first? When Mr. Nacht’s condition…”
“You silly old bugger, what are you doing?” Henry glared at Spencer and pushed him. “Why do you keep interrupting when I’m talking to my grandson?”
“Mr. Nacht, I’m just concerned with your health condition. I’m afraid you can’t take another blow. What if your blood pressure shoots up again…” Spencer said nervously.
“You’re ridiculous! What kind of blow will there be now? It can’t be that the problem is regarding the kids’ mother this round…”
Henry stopped abruptly as if he had just realized something…
“Wait a minute, the three kids have the same family name as Charlotte, could it be…”
Henry raised his head instantly and stared at Zachary in bewilderment.
“Grandpa, you got it right!” Zachary smiled and nodded.
Spencer covered his forehead helplessly and did not dare to look at Mr. Nacht. Poor Mr. Nacht! Mr. Zachary is really a devil in disguise! How many blows has he given Mr. Nacht today?
Henry was at a loss for words.
He was dumbfounded and it took him a long time before he came to his senses again.
He recalled that whenever he used to visit the kids previously, he had never met their mother. Even when he bumped into them at the main entrance of the residential estate, there was no sign of their mother as well.
Spencer had reminded him numerous times that there was something amiss, yet he did not think further as he really liked the three kids…
Henry asked again for confirmation, “Do you mean to say that the three kids’ mother is Charlotte Windt?”
He enunciated her names, fearful of making any mistakes again.
“That’s right. She’s the one.” Zachary nodded again. “She was actually pregnant with my child four years ago, yet I only get to know about it recently…”
Henry was overwhelmed again and his hands started shaking.
The next moment, he slumped onto the bed; his blood pressure shot up in an instant.
“Mr. Nacht, cool down, cool down… Doctor! Doctor!” Spencer stuttered and dashed out of the ward to look for a doctor.
