The sight of his grandson hugging his great-grandchildren was heart-wrenching for Henry to watch. He wanted to say something but was silenced by Zachary's eyes that were burning with hatred.
He blinked and straightened his back. Putting on a tough front, he said, “It's good that you've returned. Don't go wandering around like that again. You're not just anyone. You're the heir to Nacht Group, and you're the father to these children. You need to take responsibility for them!”
Hearing that, Zachary merely remained silent and took his kids back to their rooms.
He tried his best to suppress his anger toward Henry for the sake of his children.
After all, in the world of children that little, family was everything to them. They had just lost Mrs. Berry and their dear mother. If something were to happen to their great-grandfather too, their sorrow would only be exacerbated.
“What's with that attitude?” Henry snarled.
“It's quite unexpected that Mr. Zachary can behave so calmly. Let's give him some time,” Spencer said with a serious expression.
“I did it... I did all of it for the sake of our family... For the kids... Was it really my fault?” Henry asked.
That question was actually meant for himself.
He had been reflecting on his actions. Have I really made a mistake?
“Well... tragedies are not uncommon in life.” Spencer sighed deeply. “It's not your fault, but I think we are definitely responsible for Ms. Windt's death. We should be grateful that Mr. Zachary didn't even mention this in front of the kids.”
Henry went quiet upon hearing those words.
For the past few days, he had been preparing himself mentally for a big fight with Zachary when he returned. However, none of that actually happened.
And that made him all the more uneasy.
“Don't worry, Mr. Zachary is a strong person.” Spencer could tell what Henry had on his mind. “With the three kids with him, he would pick himself up sooner or later,” he said reassuringly.
“Yeah.”
Henry nodded his head. As he thought about his great-grandchildren, everything seemed worth it.
“Time shall solve all these problems...” Spencer began pushing Henry toward the door.
Henry looked up at the second floor. The lights of the master bedroom were switched off, but the study room seemed occupied.
