After pausing for a short while, Robbie added, “Jamie and Ellie were equally shocked when I showed
them the photo. In fact, he was surprised too. That might be the reason he no longer held a grudge
against us.”
Zachary’s mind went completely blank when he recalled he once thought he wasn’t their children’s father.
After all, Charlotte had gone to great lengths to keep their presence a secret from him due to the
differences in their looks.
He had always thought the Nacht family had domineering genes, but it turned out their genes lost out to
the Lindberg family. To make things worse, of all the members of the Lindberg family, his children
resembled Danrique the most.
It feels awful, but there’s nothing much I can do now! It’s killing me!
“Daddy, what’s wrong?” When Robbie caught his father’s pale and haggard look, he noticed he might
have said something he shouldn’t. Thus, he remarked, “I mean, Mommy resembles Uncle Dan a lot in
terms of look! I’m pretty sure we take after Mommy…”
Zachary went dead silent and took a sip of the drink he found on the table. After he had a mouthful of the
mysterious drink, he almost threw up. He asked, “What is this?”
“It’s Ellie’s milkshake.”
Robbie found out Jamie and Ellie were no longer around the moment he turned around to look for his
siblings.
A female bodyguard noticed Robbie’s concern. She stepped forward and told him, “They have gone to
the kitchen.”
“Alright.”
Charlotte finally had the ingredients for the dishes she had in mind sorted out the moment her two
children showed up in the kitchen. They had barged into the kitchen with a slice of cake to share with
their mother.
When Charlotte saw her children, she announced with a proud grin, “Jamie, Ellie, why are you guys
here? I have finally sorted out the ingredients for your favorite dish! See!”
“Wow! Mommy, you’re awesome!” Jamie showed his mother a huge thumbs up and remarked, “It’s really
a job well done considering you can’t really cook back in the day!”
Ellie leaned over and kissed Charlotte on the cheek. “Mommy, you’re the best! Why don’t you go ahead
and give this cake a try? It’s one of the best I have ever tasted!”
Charlotte felt motivated when she heard her children’s compliments. After she had a mouthful of cake,
she assured them, “Thanks, Ellie! I’ll have everything ready in no time! I’m pretty sure it’s going to taste
great!”
“Thanks, Mommy!”
“Mommy, let me help you!”
Jamie had a mouthful of cake and volunteered to help Charlotte.
Ellie felt thirsty after having a few mouthfuls of cake. She asked when she saw the cup of tea on the
island, “Mommy, I’m thirsty! Can I finish this cup of tea over here?”
“Go ahead and drink it if it is not hot, but you’re not allowed to finish everything since you’re not
supposed to drink tea.”
“Alright, Mommy!” Ellie tiptoed in an attempt to reach the cup of tea.
As soon as the little girl took it over from Morgan, she gulped down half of it since she was thirsty after
finishing half of the slice of cake.
Charlotte turned around and urged, “That’s enough. You’re not allowed to finish everything because
you’re still a little girl. Why don’t you return to the table and get them to order you a glass of fruit juice?”
“Okay, Mommy! I’ll see you later!”
The little girl rushed out of the kitchen alongside Morgan.
“Jamie, why don’t you go ahead and join your sister? I join all of you as soon as I have everything ready!”
“Alright, Mommy!”
Shortly after Jamie and Ellie returned to the dining hall, Zachary approached them and asked, “Jamie,
Ellie, do you guys want to go home with me?”
The duo exchanged glances in silence as they were unsure if they were supposed to share their
thoughts with their father.
Zachary leaned over and held them in his arms. “Just tell me if you’re keen to join me or not. It’s going to
be fine.”
Jamie’s frustration was written all over his face. “I wish to return home, but I’m not willing to leave
Mommy!”
Ellie asked with her lips pursed in an aggrieved manner, “I-I’m of the same idea, Daddy! Why don’t you
bring Mommy home with us?”
