“Shut up, brat,” Henry snapped. “Don’t mind him, kids,” he calmed the children down.
“You’re so nice to us, Mr. Henry.” Ellie hugged Henry, and her adorable voice melted his heart.
“I’ll repay my debt when I grow up, grandpa.” Jamie thumped his chest. “I’ll be a rich guy and buy you anything you want. I promise.”
Henry roared with laughter. “Good! Good!”
“He’s such a smooth talker.” Ben smiled. “No wonder Mr. Henry’s so amused.”
Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief. Good thing Robbie made his move at the right time, or else I would have stepped in. That’d play right into his hand. But Zachary seems to be doing it on purpose. Did he recognize me?
Charlotte didn’t want to stay there any longer. Thus, she quickly cleaned up the place and prepared to leave. “Hold it,” Zachary said. Charlotte stopped in her tracks, her sight remaining downward as she waited for his command. “You missed a spot.” He pointed at the wine stain on the table.
Heeding his orders, Charlotte went over to clean the table. However, Robbie frowned, unsure of what to feel.
“Grandpa, did you get their parents’ approval before you did all of that?” Zachary said on purpose. “What if the kids’ father objects to it?”
The children looked despondent at the mention of their father. After all, the other kids laughed at them because they had no father.
“Can you shut up?” Henry knew the kids came from a single-parent family, and he didn’t want to talk about that.
“What’s your father’s name?” Zachary kept on asking, ignoring Henry.
