“You...”
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The knocking on the door stopped Zachary from saying further.
Charlotte gestured him to fix his clothes while she went ahead to answer the door. “What's up?”
“There's a car parking nearby, seemingly spying on us,” Lupine reported softly. “I've looked into it. It's probably one of Mr. Nacht's men.”
“This is preposterous!” Livid, Charlotte cursed, “What does that damned man want?”
“Hey, watch your words.” Zachary quickly explained, “I told him that I'm here to accompany the kids for a period of time. That's why he let me bring them over. I'm pretty sure that those men are sent to monitor me, to check if I lied to him. So, I'm the target, not you.”
“You should leave at once and take his men along with you.” Charlotte went ballistic. “Or else, I'll take action against you lot.”
Zachary didn't refute her but signal Lupine to shut the door and leave, to which the latter obliged.
“Has Danrique never taught you to maintain your composure when dealing with issues?” He became serious all of a sudden. “How are you expected to handle bigger matters if you're always acting this rashly?”
“How dare you give me a lecture?” Frowning, Charlotte shot him a death stare. “I get all upset whenever I see you.”
“It goes to show that I matter to you...” He smirked.
“You...”
“Don't hit the ceiling.” He made a truce gesture. “Come, let's analyze the situation. You can think of it this way, if I leave now, the kids will definitely feel sad when they wake up. As a consequence, their impression of you as their mommy is going to turn bad.”
