“Yeah, I know five languages.” Charlotte smiled. “But I’m not really good at two of them. Can you teach me?”
“You’re too humble, Mommy. Let’s learn it together.”
Robbie found his drive to study.
“I’m so envious of you. You get to live with Mommy…” Jamie watched how Ellie and Robbie interacted with Charlotte. “I’m going to part with Mommy very soon…” he said sorrowfully.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take you to Erihal for a visit after two months.” Zachary patted his head.
“You can follow me to Erihal too.” Charlotte couldn’t bear to leave Jamie behind. “Daddy can pick both you and Ellie up after two months,” she said tentatively.
“Erm…” Jamie turned to face Zachary.
“No need.” Zachary refused. “It’s only fair that you leave at least one with me after taking two of them away with you.”
“It’s only for two months, and it’s not like they’re not coming back here.” Charlotte frowned. “Why don’t you ask Jamie his opinion?”
Jamie kept his head down and dared not utter a word.
“Jamie, do you want to go?” Zachary asked.
“I…” Jamie gave it some thought and answered timidly, “I think I’ll keep Daddy company instead, or else he will be too pitiful.”
Charlotte kept her mouth shut after Jamie expressed his opinion. “Okay then, we can meet again in two months.”
“Ok.” Jamie nodded profusely.
“Ok, let’s eat.”
Zachary placed some meat on Jamie’s plate. He felt displeased even though he acted as if everything was fine.
He thought Jamie stayed by his side because he couldn’t bear to leave him. Who would have thought it was because he pitied him?
Zachary started playing with the kids after lunch.
He first worked with Robbie to settle some problems he had faced in the new software he made himself. He gave him some pointers before allowing Robbie to work on it himself.
