Chapter 575


    "Charlotte Windt, what are you trying to do?" Zachary questioned her harshly.


    Charlotte had been giving him the cold shoulder after he came home. First, she refused to join him and


    y with the kids in the garden. Then, she avoided him when he tried to talk to her. And now, she


    locked the door while taking a shower.


    Charlotte felt rather guilty. Instead of answering him, she kept silent and proceeded to dry her hair at


    the dressing table.


    Zachary was pissed by her response. He strode towards her and turned off the hairdryer. Zachary


    turned her around and looked her in the eyes. "Are you doing this just because I didn''t bring you along


    to visit Grandpa?" he asked.


    "What did I do?" Charlotte spoke with a distant tone. "Whether or not to bring me along, it''s your


    choice. I''m in no position to make the decision for you."


    Right. I can take this opportunity to pick a bone with him, then I can move out for a few days.


    "I didn''t bring you along because..."


    Charlotte interrupted him before he could exin himself. "Whatever. It didn''t really matter to me. Your


    grandpa doesn''t like me anyway. It''d be better if we don''t see each other."


    Zachary was infuriated by her attitude. He couldn''t help but raise his volume. "What''s with this attitude?


    I''m trying tomunicate with you. Why are you getting all worked up?"


    "I''m just speaking the truth." Charlotte raised her head and looked at him. "I talked to you about


    vengeance for my dad this morning. You ignored


    me, didn''t you?" she said in an icy tone.


    "Why are you bringing that up now? We''re talking about what happened in the evening."


    The crease between Zachary''s eyebrows deepened. It''s said that women hold grudges. I guess that''s


    true.


    "What? I can bring that up anytime I want." Charlotte started throwing tantrums at him. "Your problem


    matters so is mine. Or are you saying my problem doesn''t matter at all?"


    Zachary was speechless. It was almost impossible to have a proper talk with a woman when she was


    throwing tantrums. She was merely being unreasonable.


    "I''m done talking to you!"


    Zachary''s face turned grim. He turned around and headed to the bathroom.


    "You''re such a bossy and controlling man! You''re always like that. You only care about your family and


    you never care about mine." Charlotte found fault with everything he did.


    "What''s wrong with you?"


    Zachary could barely contain himself.


    If he were still his old self, he would''ve blown his fuse. However, ever since he had the triplets, he had


    tempered his aggressiveness and learnt not to lose his temper easily.


    He was especially gentle to Charlotte.


    But Charlotte had been testing his limit and he couldn''t hold it in for much longer.


    "Why are you still defending your aunt after all the crazy stuff she did?" Charlotte questioned him in


    anger.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    "I never defend that woman." Zachary''s tone turned cold.


    "If you didn''t defend her, why didn''t you take her to the police and bring her to justice? She killed my


    father! She''s a murderer!" Charlotte questioned him relentlessly and refused to let that go.


    "Can you think before you speak?" Zachary pulled her over and poked her forehead. "Everything in


    business works in the grey areas. We can report her to the police, but what''s the point? With her


    connection, she can easily clear her name."


    Charlotte nodded and started getting emotional. "Alright then! If thew can''t punish her for the crime


    she hasmitted, you can make her life a living hell with your connection. You''re the father of my


    children and you''re going to be my husband.


    You should avenge your children''s mother and their grandfather then!"


    Unexpectedly, her words didn''t frustrate Zachary. Instead, he listened to her and pondered over her


    words, then he rationally exined the situation to her.


    "First of all, she had destroyed your father''spany indeed, but she didn''t kill him with her own


    hands. Your father took his own life. I can''t take revenge against her on an invalid usation.


    "Secondly, she''s my own blood. She''s Grandpa''s biological daughter. Even if we fight against each


    other for our own benefit, we will never kill our own blood.


    "Nheless, you''re right. Now that I''m your future husband and the father of the children, I should


    seek justice for the Windt family."


    He paused for a few seconds, then he said, "Give me some time. I''ll think about what I can do for you."
