After dinner, the children expressed their wish to take a stroll on the beach.
Zachary had initially planned for it in their itinerary, but as Zara's yacht was parked by the sea, he was concerned that the insane woman might scare Charlotte and the children. Hence, he decided to call it a day and took them home.
The children were slightly disappointed at first. However, they swiftly cheered up when Zachary offered to play a game with them in the car.
It was already nine o'clock at night when they arrived home. Zachary went to help settle down the children while Charlotte returned to the bedroom and sat on the sofa in a daze.
A while later, Zachary returned to grab a change of clothes. “I'm going out for a while,” he informed her.
“It's so late. Where are you going?” She was rather surprised. Ever since he'd reunited with the children, he hardly ever went out on his own in the night.
“I'm going to see Grandpa.” He walked toward her and pressed a kiss on her forehead. “Rest well and stop worrying so much.”
He left in a hurry thereafter.
Charlotte got up listlessly and headed to the bathroom, only to realize he had forgotten his jacket. She hurriedly brought it out, intending to hand it to him, when she accidentally overheard his phone call at the door.
“I don't care whether it's intentional or not. Don't ever appear within my sight and scare my woman and kids.
“No matter what tricks you pull, the Nachts' inheritance would never land in your hands.
“That's right. Grandpa has woken up. Whether he sees you or not is his decision.”
As soon as he hung up, he hurried down the stairs while instructing Bruce and Ben, “Bruce will come with me. Ben, stay home to guard Madam and the kids.”
“Yes.”
Witnessing that, Charlotte had an inexplicable feeling. Zachary wanted to protect the children and I wholeheartedly, while all I think about is leaving.
She knew she shouldn't let him down. Instead, she needed to gear herself up, look for Dr. Felch to remove the poison in her body, and return to marry him. All she wanted was to raise their children together and live happily ever after.
