Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 534

“Good lad!” Zachary patted his head while he set him back on his feet. “Now run along. Boys must be brave.”

“Understood.” Jamie seemed to have grown in confidence spontaneously, as though his leg no longer hurt and his fear had dissipated. He got right back at attempting another ascent on his gimpy leg.

The peak seemed so distant that it felt a little intimidating. His leg noticeably quivered.

“Go for it. I got your back,” Zachary called out in encouragement.

“Alright.” Jamie gritted his teeth as he turned back to the steps with renewed determination. He continued to climb.

This time, the boy was not afraid anymore, as he knew someone would be there to catch him should he fall.

Charlotte was profoundly moved by this scene. As competent a mother as she was about caring for and educating her children, she understood that there was no replacement for a father figure in their lives.

In spite of his inexperience with children, Zachary had the ability to instill patience and confidence in them, as well as have them rub off the fortitude of his masculinity.

Charlotte cussed at herself for having doubted his capability to be a good father. It would seem that her worries were for naught, as his attentiveness to her children had exceeded every expectation.

“I want to ride on the swing, Uncle Zack. Would you push me?”

Ellie acted coquettishly as she wanted some of the man’s attention for herself too.

“Sure,” he replied as he extended his arms. “Jump down. I’ll catch you.”

“It’s so high. I’m scared.”

Her stumpy legs retreated from the edge as her little hands continued to grip tightly onto the guardrail.

“I’ll go first!” Robbie seized the initiative to launch himself over with aplomb.

Zachary corralled him right away and rubbed his head. “You nearly caught me off guard there. What do you think could have happened if I wasn’t ready for you?”

“I had faith that you’ll definitely come get me.”

Robbie had begun to gravitate toward Zachary, as he felt the man could teach him to become more courageous.

“Good lad!” Zachary pinched that pretty face of his as his own lips curled into a smile.

“Here I come, Uncle Zack.”
