Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1017

“Hold on a second.” Just then, Zachary took a towel and helped wipe off the water on her shoulders and arms. “Please take off your wet towel. You’ll catch a cold if you sleep like this.”

Covered in a blanket, Charlotte removed the towel from her body. Then she tossed to the other side and went to sleep.

Zachary was heartbroken upon seeing her exhausted look. He wished to hug her, but he knew he could not.

Her heart was not yet open to him and she refused to let him come close.

And he respected her feelings.

A moment later, Zachary shut the window and was about to leave. But as he noticed the strong wind outside, he feared there would be a storm tonight.

Since the poison within Charlotte had not gotten eradicated, there was a chance she might still go crazy if she heard the thunder.

With that in mind, Zachary decided to stay behind and accompany her.

Right then, there was a door knock. Zachary immediately walked to open it as he worried it might wake Charlotte. “Is there anything?”

“There might be a storm tonight. I’ll have to come in and keep a watch on Ms. Lindberg.”

Lupine was holding a blanket and soundproof headphones in her hands.

“Leave them to me then.” Zachary took over that stuff. “Please go and watch over the kids.”

“But…”

Before Lupine could utter a word, Zachary had shut the door.

She felt somehow uneasy, but she could only arrange two trusted bodyguards to guard by the door. She instructed them to inform her if they heard anything coming from the room.

With that, Lupine went on to settle other matters.

After closing the door, Zachary sat down on the couch with the blanket in his arms. He stared silently at Charlotte, with one hand supporting his chin.

All the bad and good memories came flashing back in his mind.

He had lived these two years filled with utter regrets. He blamed himself for not protecting her well two years ago and caused her to end up in such tragedy.

It’s different now. I’ll protect her regardless of the price I’ll need to pay!
