Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby novel Chapter 525

Zachary withdrew his arms lamely. Although he seemed very nonplussed on the surface, as though he couldn't care less about the kids' behavior, he felt very disappointed indeed.

Turning to Ruby, he said, "I'll entrust the kids to you then."

"Of course, of course! I'll take very good care of them. Don't worry, Mr. Nacht!” Ruby and the other higher-ups exclaimed at once, nodding vigorously.

Zachary took one last look at the kids before leaving.

As he walked away, Jamie stared after him. He opened his mouth to say goodbye, but seeing as Robbie wasn't saying anything, he decided to keep quiet too.

"Goodbye, Uncle Zack!"

In the end, it was Ellie who opened her mouth first. She sounded a little cautious despite her adorable voice-nonetheless, she still managed to melt Zachary's heart.

He turned around to look at her, his lips curving into a smile. "Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Zack..." Jamie finally summoned up the courage to wave to him.

Zachary returned his wave. He then turned to look at Robbie, who had remained silent up till now.

Robbie seemed a little aloof. He looked down at the ground instead of Zachary, but waved politely anyway.

Feeling slightly better, Zachary turned to leave at last.

At the very least, he could confirm that the children did not detest him. This meant that he had succeeded in his first step!

"Mr. Nacht, I'll send you off," Ruby said, leading the way back to the drop-off point.

"Alright, children, we'll continue distributing the presents," the teachers called, gesturing at the students to settle down. "These are from Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie. What should you say to them?"

The students look at each other, rather confused. Finally, one of them raised his hand and said, "Thank you to Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie's Daddy for these presents..."

Zachary stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around to look at the children, only to find that they were all looking at him, too.

Ellie twiddled her fat little thumbs awkwardly, bowing her head to look at the floor.

Robbie opened and shut his mouth as though he wanted to say something, but chose to remain silent in the end.

However, Jamie returned their smile gamely and chirped, "No problem! Hope all of you like them."
