Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1438
After washing their hands, the kids took their seats at the dining table. Their tiny faces lit up as they looked forward
to devouring the sumptuous dishes on the table. However, they did not dare to make any move until Charlotte and
Zachary were present.
Charlotte helped out in the kitchen while waiting for Zachary to come down from upstairs.
Pacing back and forth, she was very anxious. When she was about to check on him again, Marino showed up and
informed her, “Mrs. Nacht, Mr. Nacht asks that you go ahead with the children first. There’s an urgent matter which
needs his attention.”
Hearing that, Charlotte’s trembled in fear. She knew it at once that Zachary’s condition had worsened. Yet, she had
to maintain her composure and not make the children worry.
I must stay calm.
“Okay, got it,” she said, suppressing her bad feelings. She put on a straight face and feigned calmness. “Mrs.

Rawlston, please save some for Zachary and Ben. The kids and I will eat first.”
“Sure, Mrs. Nacht,” Mrs. Rawlston choked on her words as she spoke, but she, too, tried to be composed.
“All right, darlings, let’s dig in,” Charlotte invited the little ones for dinner.
Immediately, they started eating without hesitation.
Ellie was concerned. “Mommy, why is Daddy so busy?”
“Ya, can’t he work after dinner?” Jamie looked in the direction of the staircase. “Shall I bring him some food?”
“Oh, there’s no need for that. Daddy is still working, so let’s not disturb him. Once he’s done, he will come down.”
“But—”
“Why do you have so much to ask? Just eat your food,” Robbie barked.
Jamie was taken aback by the sudden reprimand. Feeling wronged, he grumbled, “Why did you yell at me, Robbie?”
“Just eat your food.” Robbie glared at him.
“You have a terrible attitude, Robbie.” Jamie was enraged. “You’re always sullen and scolding others for no
apparent reason. How annoying!”
“Oh, Jamie…” Right when Charlotte was about to coax him, Robbie rose to his feet and left the table.

“Look at him, Mommy!” Jamie went ballistic. He pointed at Robbie and complained, “He had a run-in with me out of
a sudden and then stormed off. This is too much!”
“Don’t be so upset, Jamie.” Charlotte comforted him with a hug. “I’ll go check on Robbie. You guys continue with
your dinner.”
With that, Charlotte trotted after Robbie, only to find him by the lake in the garden, all alone.
He was furiously punching and kicking the tree bark. Though his knuckles were wounded, he had no intention to
stop.
Charlotte gazed at him from afar. She did not stop him nor disturb him. Tears streaked her face as she felt so sorry
for both Zachary and Robbie.
Jamie accused Robbie of simply taking out his anger on others. Little did he know that Robbie had been going
through a tough time, shouldering immense pressure.
He knew that Zachary’s condition had worsened to a detrimental stage. Hence, he exhausted all means to look for

Francesco, but to no avail. All of these unfavorable happenings had landed him in a state of anxiousness and panic.
Therefore, when faced with the immaturity of his siblings, Robbie lost control of his emotions and ended up lashing
out at Jamie.
Charlotte completely understood how he felt and the emotional turmoil that he was going through. Her heart sank
every time she thought about the immeasurable pressure that Robbie had to face as a child.
“Why? Why?” After releasing his anger, Robbie sat on the ground and started bawling his eyes out.
Charlotte did not console him right away. She remained watchful from a distance, giving him the time and space he
needed to regulate his emotions. Perhaps, he will feel much better after this.
After what seemed like an eternity, Robbie wiped away his tears and asked Charlotte, who appeared before him.
“Mommy, when are you going to Mount Phoenix?”
“First thing tomorrow morning.” She propped him up and bandaged his wounds with a handkerchief.
Sobbing, she said, “Robbie, I know how awful you feel about all these. I also understand that you’re under a lot of
pressure. Though I have no idea how to make you feel better, I want you to be well. Leave the rest to me, will
you?”q
