Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1376
Hearing Ellie’s baby voice and seeing how she’s pretending to be an adult by talking that way made Zachary’s heart melt.
He wanted to say something, but the second his lips parted, a sting in his heart constricted his throat. In the end, he couldn’t get himself to say even a word. All he could do was to hug Ellie tightly.
He felt his heart aching like never before.
If he could, he wished that he would live happily and healthily as well. He wanted to watch them grow up, but… I don’t think I can last that long…
“You’re being stupid, Ellie. Daddy will be fine,” scolded Robbie. He took a deep breath, and in a voice thick with tears, he insisted, “Daddy will recover. He definitely will.”
Robbie had faith that he and his mother would find Francesco to heal his father.
“Yeah, Daddy is just suffering from a minor injury. He will recover soon, so don’t cry, Ellie,” cooed Jamie. His way of thinking was simpler.
“He’s right. I’ll be up soon to play with everyone.”
Zachary picked himself up and put on a smile to coo his kids. “Be good. I have to work, so you three go play among yourselves for now.”
“Okay,” replied the kids. They nodded obediently before leaving reluctantly.
Zachary’s heart felt heavy once more as he watched the kids exiting. He had gone through dozens of wars and had never feared death. Yet, at that moment, he was suddenly terrified.
He worried that his kids would not have a father once he was gone.
What if I die and no one is there to teach Robbie or to train Jamie or to coo Ellie?
And what if no one is around to protect Charlotte?
He truly, and honestly didn’t want to die!
Ben saw everything when he was standing by the door. His eyes reddened with tears.
We can’t put this off anymore. Once Charlotte returns, I will tell her the truth and ask her to get in touch with Francesco. We have to heal him as quickly as possible…
He was about to call Lupine when a subordinate came to report, “Ben, Ms. Gold is here.”
