Chapter 1023Chapter 1023
Isaac had no idea, nor did he understand Barzel's temper since he had never met Barzel before.
However, there was every chance that someone was controlling him, especially with that attitude...
"Have someone keep an eye on him. See who he's contacting, but if there's no one forcing him, pay
him off."
Isaac was obviously not keen on having anything to do with someone like that boy.
"Okay. I'll get it done right now," Zachary replied, worried that Barzel could give him the slip.
As Isaac returned into the castle, Irene asked, "Who was it?" Isaac told her everything, adding, "He
was asking for money." "Give it to him. His parents did save you," Irene said.
She was grateful toward Barzel's parents and there was no question that Isaac was safe because of
their help-the gratitude must be considered.
"I know," Isaac replied.
He would not miss the money because he could earn it again, and Barzel was not asking forthat much.
However, he was too young, and Isaac was worried he was being used.
Irene did not dwell on it, since she trusted Isaac's judgment.
She left to help pack up the children's luggage, since they would need a lot of stuff when they traveled,
unlike adults who could go without.
After two days of preparing, they spent their time with their children.It was soon a week later and time to leave.
Meanwhile, Zachary's people were tracking Barzel to see who he was in touch with, but Zachary was
attending James's wedding too, considering their friendship.
They were bringing three children along, with Jean being a few months old.
While Tommy was less of a concern, both Baby and Jean needed constant attention.
They brought Mrs. Watson along, since Sheryl had been constantly babysitting, and they could let her
have the rest.
Zachary had gotten good with Jean too-he learned how to prepare infant formula and change Jean's
diapers, and he was certainly a dutiful dad.
Irene almost could give him a thumbs up as she watched him work.
"Do you need my help?" she asked.
Zachary shook his head. "No, I can handle it.”
Irene sat down and scooped Baby up in her arms, watching Zachary as she said, "You're different
now."
"How so?" Zachary asked.
Irene thought about it and said, "You look like a father now."
"I've always been one," Zachary said proudly. "A qualified one."
Irene pursed his lips-he really was the type who should not be praised.One word, and he was full of himself.
James and Erin were waiting for them when their flight landed.
They were a large group, and they would not be this relaxed if not for Isaac's private jet.
James had mostly recovered now, but he still limped a little.
He would heal from that too, but it would take time since it was bone and tendons.
Erin took Baby off Irene's hands and stared at Zachary weirdly when she saw that he had a baby too.
"You're marrying James," Zachary said. "What's the issue with me having a child?"
Erin smiled. "Nothing. It's normal."
She did not ask about the mother.
If Zachary was married, he would definitely bring the mother overas well.
He only brought the baby, however, and it made sense that the baby was born out of wedlock.
Maybe it was from some cheap fling?
