Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 351

“Mommy, we won’t go if you don’t want us to dine out, but shouldn’t you at least inform Mr. Henry about it?” Robbie thoughtfully suggested. “After all, he’s still our guest, and we can’t ignore him now that he’s already here.”

“Yup, he’s right,” Jamie nodded profusely. He was so worried that beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

“That was not what I meant… “

“Ms. Windt, Mr. Nacht is here.”

Before Charlotte could complete her sentence, a paramedic outside announced Henry’s arrival.

“Robbie, why don’t you go and receive him?” Charlotte lowered her voice and instructed her son, “Just tell him that I’m not feeling well and won’t be able to entertain guests. Also, don’t let Mr. Henry come in. Ask him to wait outside instead. You kids get changed, then go ahead and have dinner with him.”

“Huh?” Robbie was confused and asked with a frown,” Mommy, but why? It doesn’t seem very nice to keep our guests waiting outside.”

“Exactly!” Jamie and Ellie agreed.

“Truthfully speaking, I met Mr. Henry before, but there were some misunderstandings between us…” Charlotte explained tactfully. “That’s why I don’t want him to know that I’m your Mommy.”

“Oh!” Jamie and Ellie did not fully understand the situation but nodded anyway.

“I understand now,” Robbie was the one who truly understood what Charlotte meant and said, “Don’t worry, Mommy. We’ll keep it a secret for you.”

“Yup, we won’t tell,” Jamie and Ellie echoed after their brother once more.

“That’s good to know.” Charlotte could finally heave a sigh of relief. “So, if Mr. Henry asks who your parents are, try to dodge his question, okay?”

“Yes, Mommy,” the three kids answered in unison.

“Jamie and Ellie, if you two don’t know what to say, just keep quiet and let Robbie answer, alright?” Charlotte reminded the two younger kids.

“Okay, get going now,” Charlotte said as she let go of Ellie.

“Yay! Thanks, Mommy!” Ellie immediately sprinted out and called out to Henry affectionately, “Mr. Henry, Mr. Henry!”

“Ah! My good girl is here!” Henry replied happily, excited to see the children.

Jamie was anxious to go outside as well and was about to wheel himself out.

“Slow down,” Robbie helped to wheel Jamie at once and closed the door behind him.

Meanwhile, Charlotte remained in the room and did not dare to go out. She stuck her ear to the wall while trying to hear what was going on outside.

“Mr. Henry, we’re so sorry, our Mommy is not feeling well, so she’s not able to meet you,” Robbie said obediently, as Charlotte taught him to. “Our house is quite messy too. Do you mind waiting at our neighbor’s house for a while? We’ll be there right after we get dressed.”

“Of course, that’s fine,” Henry answered immediately before continuing, “By the way, kids, do you know what your Mommy is down with? Do we need to get her the doctor?”

“Nah… Mommy just got back from the hospital,” Robbie made sure that his explanation was flawless. The boy even said to the pediatrician, “Dr. Howard, please help to entertain Mr. Henry while we get changed!”

“Sure, that’s not a problem at all,” Dr. Howard invited Henry and his subordinate to his house opposite at once. “Mr. Nacht, this way please.”

“Take your time, kids. Mr. Henry can wait,” Henry said to the three kids affectionately.

“Yup, Okay. Thanks, Mr. Henry.” The three children nodded politely.

“This is for your Mommy and Mrs. Berry.”

As Henry spoke, Spencer tried to enter the house with gifts for Charlotte, but Robbie intercepted the butler immediately and said, “Just pass it to me, thank you. Thanks again, Mr. Henry!”

“You’re welcome!” Spencer tried to look into the house without saying anything.

“Mr. Henry, please give us ten minutes.”

Robbie then hurriedly closed the door after waving to Henry politely.

The three kids went back to their rooms to get dressed while Charlotte took out their clothes and passed them to the paramedic before reminding them again, “Robbie, remember what I told you, yeah?”

“I know. Don’t worry, mommy,” Robbie reassured his mom.

After getting dressed, the three kids went next door to look for Henry.

Charlotte, who was listening at the door, could hear her three kids’ chattering non-stop with Henry while Henry addressed them affectionately as “my darlings.” His hearty laughter could be heard intermittently.

Even Charlotte could feel the warm and fuzzy atmosphere from within the room. Gradually, her frown disappeared from her face and was replaced with a smile.

It was her wish as well for the kids to be loved by more family members.

However…

She could feel a chill running down her spine whenever she thought about Zachary’s unpredictable moods and violent ways.

Even if there was really more than met the eye to the car accident, the woman was already traumatized by Zachary.

Charlotte learned her lesson well from the fear she felt during those three days without her kids.

That feeling of despair was so horrible that it had almost driven her to the brink of insanity, so much so that she would never take any risks to experience that feeling again.

Never would she place her bets ever again on Zachary’s sanity.

“Ms. Windt, since the kids are not here now, we’ll head over first. Call us if you need anything?” The voice of the paramedic interrupted Charlotte’s train of thoughts.

Charlotte nodded her head and replied, “Thanks for your efforts.”

“No problem,” The paramedic answered and left.

After that, Charlotte was the only one left in the spacious house. Sitting alone in there, she thought of Mrs. Berry and the kids and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

She knew that the kids merely went out for dinner and would be back after that, yet she still couldn’t help but feel fear gripping her heart.

What if Henry found out about their identities?

What if he managed to coax them and took them away from me?

If that happened, she would never get to see her kids ever again.

Charlotte grew increasingly anxious and worried as she allowed her thoughts to run wild…

When she couldn’t take it anymore, the woman hurried back to her room and got changed. After putting on sunglasses, a mask, and a cap, she chased after them…

However, only when Charlotte stepped out of the residential estate that she realized she did not know where the kids went for dinner.

Charlotte stopped in her tracks while she tried to recall details of conversations she had with her kids. Then, she finally remembered something Ellie had told her.

“Mr. Henry is treating us to western food at Fairytale Land.”

Fairytale Land restaurant!

After Charlotte figured out where they were at, she immediately hailed a cab and headed over.

At the same time, Henry and the children had already arrived at Fairytale Land restaurant.

That was a restaurant specially catered to kids under the age of twelve. Not only did the restaurant sell nutritious food that children loved to eat, but there were also a spacious indoor playground and a mini library.

Adults were only allowed to enter the restaurant when they had children with them, and everyone had to be dressed fancifully.

Ellie had put on a pink princess gown. With the natural curls on her hair coupled with the princess crown that she was wearing, the little girl managed to attract the crowd’s attention the moment she stepped into the restaurant.

“Wow! What a pretty little girl! She’s so adorable and looks just like a doll!”

“Yeah, she’s so beautiful. Oh, the two boys with her are really good-looking too!”

The crowd noticed Robbie and Jamie at once. Even though Jamie was in a wheelchair, he still oozed charm in his suit and looked just like a little prince in fairytales.

Robbie, on the other hand, had an air of charming aloofness. He looked exactly like a mini version of some domineering president of a corporation.

The three siblings instantly became the center of attention, and everyone started taking pictures and videos of them.

Robbie frowned. When he was just about to stop them from doing that, the Nacht family’s bodyguards stepped in and beat him to it.

Henry then asked the boy softly, “Do you feel disturbed? I can get them to reserve the entire restaurant for us.”

“That’s alright.” Robbie shook his head and continued, “There are other kids here who are enjoying themselves. They wouldn’t be able to continue playing here if we reserve the entire place.”

“You’re such a kind child,” Henry replied as he patted Robbie’s head gently and said lovingly, “Okay, we shan’t do that then. Let’s go inside and have something to eat.”

“Alright.” Robbie held Ellie’s hand, and just when they were about to walk inside the restaurant, an arrogant voice sounded. “I’ll pay double the price. Get everyone out immediately. I want my grandson to have this place all to himself!”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 353

Robbie looked up and frowned immediately when he saw that the boy was Timothy.

“Him again?” Jamie looked speechless. “The other time at the playground, his grandma reserved the merry-go-round for him, so we didn’t get to play too. Is she intending to reserve the whole restaurant this time? So does that mean we don’t get to play again?”

“Timothy’s grandma is so scary,” Ellie muttered as she hid behind Robbie. She grabbed the corners of her brother’s shirt tightly and looked away.

When Henry heard the kids’ conversation, he frowned and shot a glance at Spencer, who attended to the matter immediately.

“My darlings, don’t be afraid. With Mr. Henry here, no one would dare to bully you,” Henry bent down and reassured the kids while stroking Ellie’s hair gently.

“Mr. Henry, let’s just leave this place,” Robbie took Henry’s hand and tried to drag him away. “Timothy is our classmate. His mommy and both his grandmas are all very fierce. My Mommy had an argument with them once, and they made my Mommy so angry.”

“I’m sure it’s their fault,” Henry squatted down and gave Robbie a comforting hug while saying, “I know that your Mommy is a great woman just by seeing how outstanding the three of you are.”

“Yup, my Mommy is the best,” Jamie nodded his head immediately.

“Timothy’s grandma and mommy bullied us first. Mommy only argued with them because she wanted to protect us… “ Ellie pouted and said indignantly.

“With Mr. Henry around today, no one is allowed to bully you. C’mon, let’s go in now!” Henry said and led the kids into the restaurant.

“But… I’m scared…” Ellie hid behind Henry timidly and did not dare to go in.

“Don’t be scared. Mr. Henry is here,” Henry held the little girl’s hand.

“Mr. Henry, let’s forget it. We can head to the restaurant next door for pizza. I don’t want to cause Mommy any trouble,” Robbie said while tugging at Henry’s shirt.

“Silly boy.” Henry’s heart ached a little as he touched the boy’s head affectionately.

“If Timothy’s grandma had reserved the whole place, wouldn’t she chase us out?” Jamie frowned, looking worried.

“That’s not happening as she won’t be allowed to do that,” Henry looked in the direction of the woman.

“What? Someone bought the restaurant?” Julia exclaimed in shock. “When did it happen? Everything was still normal just two minutes ago. How is it possible that someone had suddenly bought it?”

“The transaction was just completed,” the manager of the restaurant informed the woman politely. “Our boss just called a minute ago.”

“But…”

Julia had something else to say, but the manager could no longer be bothered to entertain her. Walking past the woman, he approached Spencer and greeted him respectfully.

After Spencer whispered something to the manager, the manager’s expression changed immediately, and he quickly led all the restaurant’s employees to welcome Henry and the three kids.

All thirty-six employees stood in two rows and took a ninety-degree bow while they greeted, “Welcome, Mr. Nacht, little princes, and little princess! We are glad to be of service to you today!”

The three kids looked at each other and could hardly register what was happening.

“Oh, it’s you three little bast*rds,” Julia said as her expression darkened. She took quick strides towards the three little ones and asked in a harsh tone, “You three little creatures, where did you get… “

“Shut up!” Henry bellowed furiously. “You wrinkled old prune! How dare you insult my grandchildren! Are you tired of living?”

“You… You…” For all fifty years of her life, Julia had never been humiliated so badly before, and her face turned ashen. Shaking with fury, she turned around and said to her bodyguards standing behind her, “Are you guys dead or what? Come over here right now!”

The woman’s bodyguards were playing with Timothy at the playground and did not know what was going on. After hearing Julia shouting at them, they hurried over.

The men rolled up their sleeves and were about to take action when they noticed Spencer and his bodyguards. It was then that their expressions changed drastically.

“How dare that old fool insulted me! Teach him a lesson immediately,” Julia yelled angrily while pointing at Henry.

“Madam…” One of the bodyguards leaned in closer and whispered into her ear, “That man is Mr. Nacht from the Nacht Group!”

A quick shiver ran through Julia’s body as she turned pale and immediately apologized, “Mr. N-Nacht?”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 354

“Yeah? Didn’t you say you wanted to teach me a lesson?” Henry cocked his eyebrow coldly.

“No! I wouldn’t dare to… “ Julia apologized immediately, “Please forgive me for being ignorant…”

“How did it go? Have you found out?” Completely ignoring Julia, Henry turned to speak to Spencer.

“Yup. She’s Julia Sterling from the Sterling Group,” Spencer bowed and reported his findings.

“The Sterling Group is already a wreck. I can’t believe she’s still acting so arrogantly,” Henry scorned before giving his orders. “You should know what to do.”

“Yes, Mr. Nacht.” Spencer nodded.

“No… Please don’t…” Julia was so scared that her knees almost gave way, causing her to nearly fall to the ground.

Two of her bodyguards immediately stepped forward to support her while the woman cried, “Mr. Nacht, please have mercy on us Sterlings. It’s all my fault. You can punish me however you wish, and I’m willing to accept it…”

“She’s so noisy,” Henry commented with a frown.

Spencer gestured to the Nacht family’s bodyguards, who took Julia away at once.

Quiet and peace ensued once again after the woman was gone.

At the same time, Jamie and Ellie were utterly gobsmacked and were still stunned after a long while.

As for Robbie, he had watched the entire scene unfold calmly with a twinkle in his eye.

“What’s wrong, my darlings? Did Mr. Henry scare you?” Henry squatted down to comfort the kids.

“Nope. Mr. Henry is protecting us,” Jamie quickly regained his composure and replied excitedly. “Mr. Henry, are you a king? Why is that fierce grandma so afraid of you?”

“Hahaha…” Henry laughed. “Mr. Henry isn’t a king, but if Jamie likes it, Mr. Henry can buy an island and become the king of that island. That way, Jamie would become the prince of that island.”

“Really? Hooray!” Jamie almost jumped up in excitement.

“Yay! Then I’ll be the princess of that island!” Ellie raised her chubby hands and continued, “I wanna live in a castle and ride on a white horse!”

“Hahaha! Not a problem!” Henry laughed heartily and turned around to look at Robbie. “Robbie, how about you? What do you want?”

“I want to have ultimate power,” Robbie said faintly as he stared towards the direction of the entrance. “I want to be like Mr. Henry and be respected by people everywhere I go. I also want to be feared by the bad guys so that I can protect Mommy and my siblings!”

“Good boy!” Henry was thrilled to hear that and embraced the boy. “You’re such a promising kid!”

At that moment, Henry was extremely emotional, and a mixture of feelings surged within his heart. “Do you know that someone had said the same words to me before?”

“Really? Who’s that?” Robbie asked curiously.

“My grandson.” Henry was overcome with emotions as he said that. “He told me that when he was just five years old. I was so excited then, thinking that the future of our Nacht family would be in good hands!”

Henry tousled Robbie’s hair and let out a sigh. “How wonderful would it be if the three of you are truly the heirs of our Nacht family.”

“What heirs?” Jamie was not focused on listening to Henry as he was just looking forward to playing. “Mr. Henry, I wanna go over there and play.”

“I saw ice-cream. I wanna have some ice-cream… “

Ellie lifted the hem of her dress slightly and sprinted off with two bodyguards chasing after her.

“Ellie, wait for me!” Jamie yelled after his sister while one bodyguard pushed his wheelchair.

In the meantime, Robbie was the only one who was listening to Henry and asked in confusion, “Mr. Henry, is your eldest grandson infertile?”

“Pfft! Ahem! Ahem!” Henry was amused at the child’s question and did not know how to respond.

No matter how smart Robbie was, he was still a kid and did not fully understand the concept of blood relations. He simply thought that Henry’s eldest grandson was unable to bear children, and that was why the old man was envious of others.

It’s so pitiful that Mr. Henry’s eldest grandson is unable to have kids. No wonder that man has such a weird temper.

“It’s OK. The three of us will be your grandchildren from now onward,” Robbie said in an attempt to comfort Henry. “Mr. Henry, let’s go in together. I saw lots of delicious snacks.”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 355

Ellie saw Timothy the moment she stepped into Fairytale Land’s playground.

The boy was sitting alone in a corner and appeared to be in a daze. The usual spark in his eyes and his air of arrogance were nowhere to be seen. He even seemed a little depressed.

Ellie hesitated for a while before walking over with her ice cream and said, “Timothy, here’s an ice cream for you!”

Timothy looked up, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ellie. “Elisa!”

“Quick, take it! The ice cream is melting.”

When Ellie was passing the ice cream to Timothy, she accidentally touched Timothy’s nose with it, smearing it on the tip of his nose.

After Timothy took over the ice cream, he could feel something cold on the tip of his nose and looked down.

Ellie was tickled by the boy’s actions and started giggling.

“Hehe!” Timothy let out an embarrassed smile before started laughing uncontrollably too.

When the other kids saw them laughing, all of them started laughing as well, as if laughter was contagious.

Instantly, the laughter of children could be heard from the playground. The innocence and wonders of childhood perfectly encapsulated the essence of Fairytale Land.

When Henry walked in with Robbie, he couldn’t help but start laughing as well when he heard the joyful laughter of those kids.

“Mr. Henry, that’s Timothy,” Robbie pointed to Timothy and looked up at Henry while saying in a serious tone, “Can we let him stay here? Even though his mommy and grandmas are very fierce and disrespectful, Timothy is not a bad child.”

“Sure.” Henry was very glad to hear that. “Good boy, Robbie. You’re so kind-hearted!”

The reason Henry had so much affection towards the three children was not only because they were adorable, sensible, and polite but also because of their pure and kind hearts.

“Thank you, Mr. Henry.” Robbie heaved a sigh of relief after getting Henry’s permission.

“Go ahead and play with the other kids!” Henry stroked the boy’s head lovingly and said, “Mr. Henry really enjoys watching you kids have fun!”

“Okay, I’ll go join them then.” Robbie joined the other kids at once and started playing with Jamie.

“As you wish, I’ve already instructed them to provide free admission to polite and well-behaved children,” Spencer walked over and reported to Henry.

“Well done.” While watching the kids, Henry couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s so good to be in the presence of children. It’s as if the world was no longer complicated and filled with innocence once again!”

“Indeed. It’s so contagious even I can feel the joy with the kids around,” Spencer smiled and agreed. “Those three little ones are growing on me too.”

“Of course! They are my grandchildren.” Henry rolled his eyes at his butler.

“Haha…” Spencer let out a laugh and hesitated to speak further.

“What is it that you want to say? Tell me.” Henry shot him a glance.

“Well, I feel that the kids’ mom has been avoiding you deliberately,” Spencer lowered his voice and said. “They didn’t even invite you inside the house when we were already outside just now. And when I wanted to bring the gifts in, Robbie stopped me immediately… It just seems… a little too intentional.”

“Robbie had already said that his mom wasn’t feeling well.” Henry was very understanding. “After interacting with them for the past few days, I am pretty sure that they only have their mommy and housekeeper. They don’t have a dad. Think about it – it’s just been those two women with the three kids all this while. Thus, it’s normal that they are not used to men entering the house.”

“True.” Spencer nodded.

“I don’t think those kids will play any tricks.” Henry looked at Robbie lovingly and said, “My grandson is just too sensible, so much that my heart aches for him.”

“Mr. Zachary was like that when he was at that age too,” Spencer said as he recalled how Zachary was like when he was young. “By the looks of it, Robbie and Jamie do resemble Mr. Zachary, especially Robbie. Even his personality is very similar to that of Mr. Zachary’s.”

“If that brat has three kids like them, I’ll be laughing even in my dreams.” Henry could feel anger rising in him at the mention of Zachary. “He only knows how to make me angry. I’ve waited so long for him to start dating, but he ended up falling for such a dubious woman. He must be blind!”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 356

Meanwhile, at the Nachts’ residence, Zachary just sneezed twice. He could sense that someone was talking behind his back.

Could it be that damned woman Charlotte?

Zachary frowned as he thought about that possibility.

“Mr. Nacht, we’ve just gotten news that your grandpa has given orders to boycott the Sterlings,” Ben reported.

“He’s already almost a hundred years old. Why is he still so hot-tempered?” Zachary cocked his brows and asked, “How did the Sterling family offend him?”

“I heard that Hector Sterling’s mom, Julia, behaved arrogantly at the Fairytale Land restaurant and offended Mr. Nacht.” After Ben narrated what had happened to Zachary, he added at the end of it, “Mr. Nacht had declared free admission to the Fairytale Land restaurant from now on. Previously it was 666 for an adult and child pair, but now it’s free for everyone.”

“Goodness gracious! How childish can he get!” Zachary was speechless when he heard that. “He’s already so old and still acting like a child!”

“Well, that’s no surprise since they’re no different.” Ben laughed and continued, “I heard from Spencer that ever since Mr. Nacht got acquainted with those three kids, he has started laughing more and is always in a good mood. It’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

“Good?” Zachary stared at Ben coldly and said, “Do you really think it’s good that my grandpa is so close to Michael Brown’s children?”

“No, no. That’s not what I meant… “ Ben immediately slapped his mouth and took back his words. “I’m sorry. I’ll take back what I said!”

Zachary’s expression darkened, and he downed the entire glass of wine before standing up abruptly. “Get the car ready.”

“Yes, right away!”

Meanwhile, Charlotte had just gotten off the cab. She pulled down her cap and made sure that her mask and sunglasses were worn properly before she walked sneakily into Fairytale Land.

To her surprise, there were a lot of excited parents and children queuing up at the entrance.

Is there some kind of promotion today? The admission fee to this place isn’t cheap, so why are there so many people here?

Charlotte wondered for a while before entering and realized that there were a lot of parents sitting in the rest area. They were all engrossed in conversations with each other while having snacks and drinks. Most of their conversations revolved around the same topic…

“The admission fee here used to be 666 for one adult and one child. Given how expensive it was, I could only bring my child here once a month. Now that it’s free and with the free flow of food, I’m going to come here every day. Hahaha…”

“We’re so lucky to be around this area today. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have come across such a great deal! I’m so happy that we managed to save 666.”

“Exactly! But now that a lot more people know about it and there are so many parents and their children queuing up outside, they might limit the number of people entering per day or the duration we are allowed to stay inside.”

“I’m sure they will impose some restrictions. No matter how wealthy the boss is, the space here is still limited. Besides, it’s highly likely that the service quality will drop if there’s a shortage of manpower.”

“I think it’s worthwhile making a trip here even if there are restrictions.”

“Yup, I agree. I wonder who’s the rich guy who bought this restaurant and even allowed free entry. If I meet him, I’ll surely thank him properly!”

“Me too… “

Charlotte was quite confused after listening to their conversation. She had only taken the kids to the restaurant once. That time, she and Mrs. Berry came here with the three kids, so they bought two sets of adult-child tickets and an additional child ticket separately. It had cost her more than one thousand six hundred, and it wasn’t easy for Charlotte to part with that money!

So why is the admission free now?

While Charlotte was pondering over the matter, she heard a familiar voice. “Let me in, let me in! My grandson is still inside.”

Charlotte turned around and saw that it was Julia.

Worried that Julia might recognize her, Charlotte immediately hid behind a cartoon character figure while sticking her head out discreetly to observe the situation.

Shortly after, two employees of the restaurant led Timothy out of the playground and handed him over to Julia and her bodyguards.

Timothy was reluctant to leave and looked back at the playground longingly, but Julia dragged him away hurriedly.

After the two employees watched them leave, they sighed and said softly, “Both of them are equally arrogant. Previously, when young Mrs. Sterling came here, she insisted on booking the whole area as well and even chased the other kids out, causing them to feel disappointed. Some even bawled their eyes out!

“The parents of those kids were very upset by her actions as well. This time around, the same thing happened with old Mrs. Sterling. But I bet she did not expect to meet someone even more powerful than her. Mr. Nacht bought the entire place for his three grandchildren right away and even allowed free entry for all. That’s how the truly wealthy people behave!”

“Yeah, exactly!”

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 357

Charlotte was stunned when she heard the employees’ conversation. That man had bought the entire place for his three grandchildren…

Could they be referring to my three kids?

“Mr. Henry, I’m hungry.”

Just then, Charlotte heard Ellie’s voice and turned around immediately.

Henry was holding Ellie and Robbie’s hands while Spencer wheeled Jamie out of the play area. They were accompanied by more than ten waiters who led the group to the restaurant.

In order not to disturb the other children who were playing, the Nachts’ bodyguards waited outside and did not go in.

When the parents at the rest area saw the intimidating group of men, they immediately asked a waiter, “Is that man the one who bought over Fairytale Land?”

“Yup, that’s him.” The waiter nodded and smiled. “He’s Mr. Nacht!”

“Mr. Nacht is such a good man!” A few parents went over to Henry and shouted excitedly, “Thank you, Mr. Nacht! We are so grateful for the free admission to Fairytale Land. Now our children can enjoy such wonderful free facilities!”

“That’s right! Thank you so much for this!”

The group of parents took turns to thank Henry and the three little ones.

Since Henry was a seasoned philanthropist, he didn’t think that doing that for the kids was a big deal. As such, he didn’t feel much about it and merely replied with a nod and a smile.

However, it was an entirely new experience for the three kids.

Ellie was blushing while grabbing tightly onto Henry’s fingers. Even though the little girl was feeling nervous, her big bright eyes were filled with curiosity and wonder.

Jamie, meanwhile, was slightly bolder than Ellie. Beaming brightly, he waved to the adults and replied, “You’re welcome!”

As for Robbie, even though he nodded politely to acknowledge them, he did not speak a single word. It was as if he was already used to all of these things.

Henry was very satisfied with the way the children handled the situation. Although they were young and had not encountered any situations of such great scale, they still managed to keep their composure.

He could tell that Robbie was an ambitious child and had even started imagining how nice it would be if the boy was really his great-grandson. If that was the case, Robbie would definitely be taking over the Nacht Group one day.

As for Jamie, he could work in whichever field that he’s interested in.

And Ellie would forever be their little princess. She would always be under the protection of all the men in the family and enjoy a happy life free from worries…

Charlotte, who was witnessing the scene from afar, was deeply moved by what she saw…

Ever since her three kids were born, she had never been able to give them such experiences and had also never given any serious thought to grooming them.

The best she could do was to provide a healthy environment for them to grow up in, teach them well, and impart proper values to them. She had also enrolled the three kids into a good kindergarten…

Doing all those had already pushed Charlotte to the maximum of her abilities.

The woman had always thought that the children were still young, and she could wait till they were a little older before developing their other skills or grooming them in other areas…

However, now that she had a glimpse of an alternate life the kids could have, Charlotte suddenly realized that it would take a gradual period of time to groom the kids, and it wasn’t something that would happen overnight. They would have a better chance at succeeding in life if they could grow up in a better environment that provided them with more opportunities.

Even though Henry had only met the children by chance, he was already showering them with so much affection and care only because he took a liking to them.

If he knew that they were, in fact, Zachary’s kids, he would definitely give them a lot more…

Wouldn’t that be better for the children’s future?

Especially Robbie, who was a mature child and way more sensible than other kids his age. He loved to learn and engage in activities that required critical thinking. During his spare time, he loved doing research and discovering new things…

However, Charlotte was aware that she would not be able to provide a good learning environment for her eldest son, who was learning so fast that she could barely keep up.

That boy was only three and a half years old, and she was already struggling to give him what he needed. When he grew a little older, he might feel a sense of emptiness…

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 358

“Hi, Madam… “

Charlotte’s thoughts were interrupted by a waiter’s voice right that instant.

After Charlotte snapped back to her senses, she turned around and got a shock. It turned out that the cartoon character whom she was hiding behind was a waiter dressed in a cartoon character costume, and that waiter had already left.

But Charlotte had remained rooted to the spot where she was standing…

Another waiter beside her noticed her strange behavior and hurried over to check if she was alright. “Are you alright?”

“Yup. I’m… I’m fine,” Charlotte replied in a fluster before turning around again and saw Henry walking into the restaurant with the three kids. Just then, Robbie turned around and met his mother’s gaze.

The boy waved to Charlotte before following Henry into the restaurant.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment before dashing towards the toilet and hid inside there.

She couldn’t believe that Robbie was able to see through her disguise. That’s my son indeed.

Charlotte was thankful that it was Robbie who recognized her and not any of her other two kids. Knowing how mature and thoughtful her eldest boy was, she was certain that he wouldn’t expose her.

After splashing some water on her face, the woman let out a sigh in front of the mirror. The previous time she brought the kids to the restaurant was on their birthday. Moreover, she only decided to bring them after thinking long and hard about it…

As for Henry, in order to protect the kids from being bullied by Julia, he had bought over the entire Fairytale Land restaurant effortlessly. Not only that, but he had also declared free admission to the public.

That was how he valued the kids and cared about their feelings.

In comparison, it seemed as if there was nothing much Charlotte could do for her children…

“Mr. Nacht, your grandpa and the kids are at the restaurant.”

Charlotte suddenly heard a familiar voice sounded from outside.

It’s Ben! In that case, Zachary must be here…

The woman froze for a second before quickly putting on her cap, sunglasses, and mask. Then, she hid near the door and peeped outside.

As expected, Zachary walked right out of the toilet and headed towards the restaurant.

Apart from Ben, the man had only brought two other subordinates along with him. Charlotte guessed that it was such that he could maintain a low profile.

However, even so, Zachary had still managed to become the center of attention. The moment he reached the corridor, his commanding aura attracted the eyeballs of several young mothers, who were squealing with delight.

“Oh my God! Is he a celebrity? He’s so cool and good-looking!”

“Could he be the father of those three angelic kids just now? They look quite alike.”

“Yup, they are probably from the same family. He looks very much like Mr. Nacht. Those three kids also resemble… “

Zachary frowned when he heard that. He felt as if he had just been insulted, and anger started to stir within him.

Ben noticed the change in Zachary’s expression and quickly signaled for everyone to keep quiet.

Then, Ben and the bodyguards put up some barricade tapes to prevent the crowd from getting near Zachary before escorting the man away.

Charlotte, who had witnessed the scene, frowned in displeasure. As*hole! Do you have to be so mad to hear people calling you the kids’ dad?

They are indeed your children! So how dare you react this way?

However, Charlotte started to wonder why Zachary was there.

Is he going to harm the children?

Or is he jealous of the way Old Mr. Nacht was treating the kids and is here to cause trouble?

After all, he still thinks that they are Michael’s…

Fear set in as Charlotte thought about that. After the previous time when she was separated from her kids, she started to worry more about their safety and swore never to put them in danger again.

Charlotte wanted to go in to observe the situation. However, as she was alone, she would not be allowed to enter the restaurant since she did not have a kid with her.

What should I do?

While Charlotte was thinking of a solution, she suddenly saw a cleaning lady walking into the employees’ changing room with a bag. After a while, the cleaning lady reemerged wearing casual clothes and clocked off.

When no one was watching, Charlotte sneaked into the employees’ changing room.

Due to special circumstances and the Fairytale Land restaurant’s sudden change in ownership that day, all the employees had gone to serve Henry and the three kids. As such, there was no one else in the changing room at that time.

Charlotte swiftly changed into the cleaning lady’s uniform and wore the cleaning lady’s hat and mask. Only revealing her eyes, she took the mop and entered Fairytale Land restaurant…

Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 359

Fairytale Land was a themed restaurant, and every server would dress up as a character in the fairy tales.

The servers were either elves or angels, while the security guards were hunters or knights. At the same time, the female bartenders would be dressed as witches.

Every child that entered the place would change into a costume of a character they liked.

Ellie changed into a mermaid princess outfit while Robbie and Jamie wore prince outfits.

Henry, on the other hand, was dressed up as an old king while Spencer remained as the butler from a fairy tale.

When Henry looked at himself in the mirror, he burst into laughter. “Wow… I really look like one.”

“Mr. Nacht, you look noble,” Spencer sighed. Although Henry was already at the age of ninety-six, he was still spirited and tall.

The three children cheered, “Mr. Henry looks like a king!”

“If Mr. Henry is a king, you’re my princes and princess,” Henry beamed before holding their hands. “Let’s go and eat now.”

“Yay, time to eat!” Jamie yelled delightedly.

“Oh no, I can’t walk!”

Mermaid princess Ellie tried to move her fishtail, but she could barely walk, and she even nearly fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Robbie the prince caught her in time.

“Hahaha!” Henry laughed boisterously. “The cute little mermaid hasn’t turned into a human yet, so she can’t walk. Come, let Mr. Henry carry you.”

With that said, Henry hunched over for her.

“Sir, let me instead.”

“Mind your own business.” Henry shot him a look before he crouched down. “Ellie, hop on.”

Spencer dared not intervene anymore.

Clumsily, Ellie climbed onto Henry’s back before wrapping her arms around his neck. “Mr. Henry’s the best!”

“Haha, you’re all so light. I can even carry all three of you.”

Feeling energetic, Henry held onto Ellie’s short legs as he placed a hand on the wall to support himself as he stood up. However, just as he straightened his back, he heard a loud crack, and he stilled instantly.

“Mr. Nacht!” Spencer hurriedly held him. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine! I’m fine,” he mumbled as sweat beaded on his forehead while he pressed his waist.

“Mr. Henry, what’s the matter?” Ellie’s face was ashen from fright as she anxiously asked, “Is Ellie too fat?”

“No, no! It’s nothing to do with you.” Henry tried to straighten his back, and despite the difficulty in doing so, he tried to keep things lighthearted. “It must be a witch casting a spell on Mr. Henry!”

“Mr. Nacht,” mumbled Spencer anxiously. However, he dared not expose Henry for his lies.

“Ellie, come down now.” Upon noticing what was going on, Robbie swiftly tried to pull Ellie down from Henry’s back.

“It’s fine. I can carry her,” Henry insisted. “She’s just three. How can I not carry her? I was a skilled fighter when I was younger.”

“You’re all old now, but you’re still trying to pretend as if you’re strong.”

A cold voice abruptly rang out.

When Robbie raised his head to look, he could not help but furrow his brows as a look of wariness emerged in his eyes.

Zachary reached out to carry Ellie down from Henry’s back. However, the hem of her mermaid tail skirt caught the button on his sleeve, and since he could not undo it, he had to hold her in midair.

“Let me down! Let me down!”

Ellie was terrified looking at the ferocious man as she sobbed. As she dangled her short legs, struggling, it seemed as if she really was a mermaid when she swished her tail.

“Shush!” With one hand holding onto her, he helped Henry up. “Are you all right? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

“I’m fine.”

As he supported his back, Henry looked up to see Zachary holding onto Ellie like he was holding a chick.

At the same time, Ellie was tearful as she pleaded, “Mr. Henry, save me!”

His heart ached from looking at her watery eyes. Thus, he smacked Zachary’s head immediately. “Brat, let my granddaughter down.”

Zachary was speechless. Excuse me, but I’m your actual grandchild!

In silence, Zachary let go of her.

“Ah!” Ellie shrieked as she nearly plummeted to the ground.

However, her fishtail skirt was still stuck on Zachary’s sleeve, so she did not.

Right then, Ellie grabbed Zachary’s arm in a death grip as her legs curled around his arm as well.

It was an adorable sight.

Zachary could not help but smile in amusement. This silly look of hers really resembled Charlotte’s.

He then grabbed Ellie up to put her on his shoulders. In fact, he even made sure she was secure in case she fell.

Nevertheless, his worry was for naught as Ellie gripped his hair in fear of falling herself.

Frowning, Zachary grimaced. “Why are you pulling my hair?”

“I-I’m scared of heights,” Ellie mumbled in a high-pitched, trembling voice.

“Brat, what’s wrong with letting the girl pull your hair a little?” Henry hissed when he heard Ellie’s sobs. “I mean you’re not exactly short either! Of course, she’ll be scared of heights.”

Zachary’s grimace deepened as he shot Ellie a glacial look.

Immediately, Ellie’s lips turned into a frown as crystalline tears escaped her eyes. Then, she wailed.

Right then, Charlotte, who had disguised herself as a janitor, sneaked into the restaurant. When she heard Charlotte’s sobs, she lifted her head.

What greeted her was the sight of Ellie on Zachary’s shoulders as Zachary glared at her.

Instantly, a thought popped into Charlotte’s mind – The Devil was bullying her Ellie.

Agitated, Charlotte rushed over with a broom.

“Ellie!” When Robbie saw his sister crying, he dashed forward to roar at Zachary. “Let go of my sister!”

“Meanie, let go of Ellie!”

Jamie wheeled himself over as he swung his fist angrily at Zachary.

“Brat, you scared her.”

Henry was anxious, and he tried to take Ellie back into his arms. However, his back started to ache again.

“Mr. Nacht, don’t get angry.” Spencer quickly supported him again.

“You’re ninety-six. Stop trying to force yourself to do the impossible.”

For Henry, Zachary stopped resisting and let Ellie grab his hair. After coldly giving a glance at Robbie and Jamie, he headed to the tables.

That was where Charlotte was, and with a jump, Charlotte swiftly changed directions and escaped.

“Hey, let go of my sister!” Robbie shouted from behind him.

“Robbie. Ellie.” Jamie wheeled himself as quickly as possible, trying to catch up with them.

“Don’t worry. I’m here. He won’t do anything to her,” Henry consoled. Then, he yelled at Spencer. “Why are you still standing there? Help me over.”

“Understood, Mr. Nacht.” He then helped Henry catch up with Zachary.

Meanwhile, one of the bodyguards pushed Jamie’s wheelchair.

When Zachary reached the table by the tall windows, he reached out, trying to get Ellie down. However, as Ellie was terrified, she refused to let go of his hair.

The more he tried to pull her off, the harder she tugged her hair. Her plump little body was trembling non-stop.

“Aren’t you going to come down?” Zachary asked with his brows lifted.

At that, Ellie’s face scrunched up, and she nearly burst into tears again.

“Don’t cry. Don’t,” Zachary hastily coaxed. “You can stay up there if you want to.”

It was only then Ellie’s tears stopped streaming down her cheeks. Her frown, however, remained, and her eyes were still watery.

By now, sweat was beading on Zachary’s forehead as he found himself at a loss for words. What kind of creature is she? I can’t reprimand her, and she cries at anything I say.

Am I seriously that scary?
