Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1020

“How’s your wound? Is it serious?” Henry cut to the chase after the call went through.

“You’re so straightforward, aren’t you?” Zachary let out a cold smile. “I’ve already suspected when Mrs. Rawlston came purposely to prepare breakfast for the kids. I knew you’re the one who sent her.”

That day, Zachary told Charlotte he was the one who let Mrs. Rawlston and the maids came. He said that he was worried the kids did not eat well so he asked Mrs. Rawlston to take care of them.

And then, Robbie let Mrs. Rawlston stay right away.

Zachary had reminded Robbie that he should ask for Charlotte’s permission first as this was Charlotte’s house. But Robbie responded that it was his house too, and he liked Mrs. Rawlston’s cooking.

In the end, Zachary did not reject it.

Later, he was worried that Charlotte would be unhappy about it. Hence, he put the whole responsibility on his shoulder.

If Charlotte were to get upset, he would be willing to be the one to face the music.

With that, Charlotte would not be suspecting Mrs. Rawlston or blaming Robbie and Lupine.

“I’m merely worrying about the kids,” Henry responded coldly. “I’m done with caring about you.”

“I see. Please rest early then.” Zachary was about to hang up the call.

“What’re you doing? You haven’t answered my question.” Henry’s tone turned stern.

“I can still fight with you over the phone. How seriously do you think the wound can be?” Zachary cast the question back to Henry. “Why’re you still awake at this hour? What if you fall sick? Don’t you want to see your great-grandchildren again?”

“What a foul mouth you have. I guess your wound is all right…” Henry responded petulantly. “Fine then. I’m done talking with you.”

Just when Zachary was about to say goodnight, a loud thud came from the phone. “What’s that sound?”

There was pure silence from the other side, as though the phone got covered by someone’s hand.

A few seconds later, Henry spoke, “It’s nothing. I dropped my glass. Goodbye!”
