“Now that’s what I want to see; that lovely smile of yours,” uttered Zachary as he gazed deeply into his wife’s eyes.
Charlotte then threw herself at Zachary and embraced her husband tightly. “You have to get better soon, okay?”
In response, Zachary nodded and patted his wife on the back, assuring her, “I will, so don’t worry. Now help me get up, and let’s join the others for dinner.”
“Okay.” After helping Zachary to his wheelchair and tidying up his appearance, Charlotte pushed her husband out of the room.
“Mr. Nacht!” immediately greeted Bruce and Marino, standing by just outside, when they saw Zachary.
However, Zachary gestured for the two to skip the formalities and be at ease.
When the four of them reached the living room, Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie quickly ran over. “Daddy! Mommy!”
“Hey!” Even though Zachary had not fully recovered yet, he put on his brightest smile to greet the children, as if trying to set an example for his children.
“Are you doing okay, Mr. Zachary?” asked Hanna concernedly, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Never been better!” Zachary jokingly curled up his arms to show vitality.
The butler could not help but chuckle at the unexpected response before quickly wiping her tears away. “Good. I’m glad to hear that.”
“Shall we have dinner? The children must be starving!” commented Zachary.
“Yes, of course. I’ll go set the table right away.”
“I’ll go get Danrique. Here, Jamie. Get your father to the dining room,” instructed Charlotte before walking away.
“No problem!” As ordered, Jamie grabbed hold of the wheelchair and pushed Zachary with his siblings’ help.
Smiling, Zachary was glad to see how helpful the children were. “Be careful now, guys. Don’t hurt yourselves.”
“We will, Daddy. Don’t worry.”
Charlotte first went to Francesca and the three little ones before going to Danrique, who was still mulling in the courtyard with a cup of tea.
