“All right,” Zachary readily agreed. “What else?”
“That’s all.”
Busy eating, Jamie didn’t realize that his father was watching him thoughtfully.
Lowering his gaze, Zachary began to worry. Now that Robbie has gone to Erihal with Charlotte, who will take over the company if something happens to me? Jamie is a wonderful kid, but he isn’t suited for the position.
“By the way…” As if he recalled something, Jamie enthusiastically declared, “I like playing with Lego and treasure hunts. In the future, I intend to climb Mount Everest and discover uninhabited lands…”
“That’s wonderful. No matter what you like to do, I will always support you.” Zachary stroked his hair. “However, you have to pick up more skills so that you can ensure the safety of your team.”
“Mmm-hmm. I’ve been reading adventure books recently.” Jamie nodded with a smile. Feeling unnerved, he asked, “But Daddy, are you disappointed that I’m not as talented as Robbie?”
“Of course not.” Putting down his cutlery, Zachary explained earnestly, “Everyone has their own strengths and their own destiny. All you need to do is focus on doing what you enjoy.”
“Thank you, Daddy!” Jamie was delighted by the encouragement.
“Daddy! Daddy!” Little Fifi yelled alongside him.
When Zachary turned to look at her, he couldn’t help but think of Charlotte, Robbie, and Ellie. Then, he wondered how they doing…
“I wonder how Mommy and the other two are?”
Jamie thought of them too.
Coincidentally, Zachary’s phone rang. When he saw that it was Robbie on the line, he answered at once. “Robbie!”
“Daddy, we have just landed.” Robbie’s voice rang out. “Are you, Jamie, and Little Fifi doing all right?”
“Yes, we’re good.”
Zachary put Robbie on speaker so that Jamie could hear him too.
“Robbie, I’m surprised at how quickly you have arrived. Is it cold there?” Leaning into the phone, Jamie asked anxiously, “Did you wear the jacket Daddy prepared for you?”
“Yes, I did,” Robbie replied calmly.
“Let me speak. Let me speak.” Ellie took over and spoke excitedly, “Daddy, Jamie, it’s really cold here. Also, it’s snowing heavily and the view is gorgeous! This is the first time I have seen such heavy snow. They look like cotton balls and are falling non-stop. By the way, there’s a lot of people waiting outside to pick us up!”
“Was it Uncle Dan?” Jamie asked.
“It’s not Uncle Dan, it’s a man from F Nation.” It was a slip of tongue by Ellie.
Upon hearing Ellie’s words, Zachary’s heart burned with jealousy. It seems Louis is meeting Charlotte at Xendale airport. What a desperate guy!
“It’s Sir Louis,” Robbie reported, “his father is here too. Both of them have brought a group of subordinates and are waiting for us outside. Their private jet landed half an hour earlier than us. At the same time, Uncle Dan has also sent men over-”
“Wait a second.” Zachary asked at once, “Robbie, did you say that Sir Louis’ father is there too?”
“Yes, I heard Mommy address him as Sir Robert,” Robbie replied softly. “Daddy, we’re about to disembark from the plane. Both of you take care!”
“All right. Remember to stay safe and listen you your mom.”
“I know. Bye!”
“Robbie, call me on video once you get home,” Jamie yelled before the call ended.
“Mmm-hmm.” Robbie grunted before ending the call.
Phone in hand, Zachary furrowed his eyebrows.
It wasn’t such a big deal if Louis was with Charlotte at Xendale. However, if Robert was there with them, it meant that marriage discussions were about to begin.
It must be Danrique’s idea. Or else, Robert wouldn’t appear without Charlotte’s permission. Is she really going to marry Louis?
