Jamie looked up at Zachary and asked, “Where’s Mommy, Daddy?”
Zachary reached out and gently ruffled his hair as he replied, “Mommy left just now.”
The kids got all sad when they heard that, and Ellie looked like she was about to cry while Robbie had his head hung low.
“When will Mommy come back?” Jamie asked anxiously.
“Soon. She’ll come back once Daddy has taken care of some problems,” Zachary said in a gentle tone.
“Really?” Ellie looked at him expectantly.
Zachary gave her a pinch on the cheek. “Of course! Since when has Daddy ever lied to you? All right, Daddy has to go out for a bit. There will be a huge search in the house today, so make sure to stay in your room, okay? Don’t go running around the house, got it?”
“Got it!” The kids nodded obediently.
Zachary gave them each a hug before getting ready to leave. Robbie then walked him to the door and asked all of a sudden, “Did you manage to catch the person who poisoned us, Daddy?”
“Hmm?” Zachary froze. I didn’t say a word about what happened, so how did he know?
“It was Ms. Cynthia, wasn’t it?” Robbie added.
“Yeah, but Daddy has already taken care of that. Mommy wasn’t angry or anything when she left, so don’t you worry!”
Robbie breathed a sigh of relief. “I am glad to hear that!”
Zachary gave him a pat on the head. “All right, go back inside now.”
“Okay! I’ll be sure to protect Jamie and Ellie!”
“You’re a kid too, you know? You need protection too, so keep yourself safe before looking after them,” Zachary said with a gentle smile.
“Got it, Daddy!”
