Charlotte disregarded the pacifying as she wept even harder. She turned to look at the family picture that hung on the wall. “Fifi, where do you think Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie have gone? Have they been kidnapped by the bad guys?”
“Bad guys, bad guys…” Fifi repeated the two words.
Charlotte suddenly thought of Zachary. Could it be him that took away the kids?
The words that I said before leaving the Nachts’ residence… had it angered him?
And just because of that, he would take away my kids?No way…
The shrill ringing of her phone broke the peace in the house. Charlotte leapt to her feet and rushed into her room immediately. In her haste, she accidentally knocked her waist against the wall, and it was so painful that it felt as if her bones had broken, but she resisted the pain and rushed to grab her phone from the bed.
The phone call was from Zachary.
“Hello?” She answered.
“Where are you?” Zachary asked.
“Zachary, have you kidnapped my kids?” Charlotte questioned him hysterically.
“What nonsense is this?” Zachary replied coldly. “Why would I kidnap your kids?”
Charlotte froze up at his reply before she quickly came back to her senses. “No, it’s nothing.”
She knew that although Zachary had a brutal nature, he was a man that would not play dirty tricks. Such was his strong and honest character.
To be frank, he looked upon such trickeries with disdain.
If he was the one that had taken her kids, he would have admitted it before she even asked.
Since he was so stunned by her question, it further proved that he did not kidnap her kids.
“What happened?” Zachary pressed on.
“Nothing, I’m hanging up first…”
Charlotte was in no mood to bother him anymore as she felt both irritated and frustrated at the same time. Without another word, she ended the call abruptly.
On the other end of the phone, Zachary was in disbelief that Charlotte dared to hang up.
His brows furrowed as he recalled her earlier words…
“Mr. Nacht…” Ben saw the way Zachary’s face clouded over with anger when Charlotte hung up, and he cautiously opened his mouth to pacify him, “Raina told me earlier that Mrs. Berry has fallen sick. Charlotte is now at the hospital. Maybe she’s too worried about Mrs. Berry.”
