“You can tell they are not the original ones?” Zachary asked, looking at the plants, “I wasn't in the mood to do anything back then because I was so worried. When I finally came around, the plants and the fish had already died. I was afraid you might get angry when you saw it, so I asked them to replace everything with similar ones.”
Zachary glanced at her before continuing. “I pored over the photos and videos just to make sure I know how these things looked like originally. It seems like I didn't do a good enough job. You realized it.”
It's actually a job well done. Charlotte almost blurted out. For a moment, she thought they had traveled back in time to two years back.
She had yet moved into Nacht residence back then, and neither had she gotten married to Zachary. That was before she got sent to T Nation.
It was not until she saw the eagle on the balcony that she was shaken back to reality. I'm Charlotte Lindberg now.
We can't go back to how things were now. There's no turning back, Charlotte.
“Why did you bring us here?” Charlotte questioned coldly after recollecting herself.
“I just want the kids to be happy,” Zachary replied patiently, “They had never been separated. This is too sudden for them. It might take a while before they get used to it. I just want them to know that no matter what happens in the future, we are always a family. I want them to know that we have each other's back. Our bond will keep them going no matter what they face in the future.”
Charlotte felt ashamed listening to him. Zachary was a better parent than her.
“Go and rest for a bit. I'll make lunch.”
Zachary took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves as he walked into the kitchen.
Now, since when did he know how to cook?
Charlotte suddenly remembered that Zachary once made a pot of vegetable beef soup with Robbie and Jamie, but that was still not telling of his culinary skills.
Charlotte tilted her head, thinking, as she walked back to her room.
Her room looked the same too. The orchids were blossoming under the sun and her ledger book was still flipped to the same page beside her bed. Even her laptop was still on the webpage where she wanted to upload photos.
Charlotte did not expect Zachary to put so much effort into keeping this house the way it was.
