Chapter 1339


    The boy had easily seen through something that none of the adults had noticed.


    On top of that, he even kept it to himself and yed along so that no one would discover the truth


    about his father''s condition.


    Only after everyone had left did he finally bring up his worries.


    My poor boy, he must have suffered a lot.


    “You silly boy.” Zachary put on a rxed front despite the stabbing pain in his chest. With a smile, he


    said to Robbie, “Look at me. Aren''t I just fine? I can see your charming little face, and I can also see


    your light blue shirt and navy knitted vest. You look like a gentleman! What made you think there''s


    something wrong with my eyes?


    “Are you really okay?” Robbie waved a hand in front of his father''s face.


    “I''m fine. Really.”


    Suppressing his heartache, Zachary took Robbie''s hand and pulled the boy into an embrace.


    “You''re only six years old, Robbie. You should be as carefree as Jamie and Ellie are, living your


    life without any worries. Leave the important matters to the adults.”


    Robbie choked up. “I know that, but I just can''t stop myself from overthinking. Sometimes, I also feel


    that being too smart isn''t a good thing. It''s like I understand everything that''s happening, but there''s


    nothing I can do.”


    Zachary held his son even more tightly. In truth, he used to feel the same way when he was young.


    As a child, he saw through everything that happened between the adults around him.


    Yet, he did not have the power to protect his loved ones.


    It would have been better not knowing anything and simply growing up like every other naive child.


    Unfortunately, just like Robbie, the young Zachary could not stop worrying.


    Such conflicting feelings were utterly tormenting.


    “I''ll protect you no matter what happens, Robbie,” Zachary said gently while patting the child on the


    back. “You don''t have to be afraid of anything as long as I''m with you. Don''t worry about anything. Just


    grow up happily like every other kid, okay?”


    Robbie wanted to agree, but he knew he could not do as asked.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “All right,d, I have some sorting out to do.


    Mr. Spencer''sing over in a while. Why don’t you go y in the garden?” Zachary coaxed.


    “I have to deal with some matters, so I''ll be in my study.” Robbie gazed at him. “If somethinges up,


    could you let me know? Maybe I can be of help.”


    “You''ve already been a great help. Have you forgotten? Divine Corporation''s managed toe up with


    several new tech products thanks to you.” Zachary stroked the boy''s head.


    “I meant—” Before Robbie could say anything more, a knock sounded at the door, followed by Ben''s


    voice. “Mr. Nacht! Mr. Spencer has arrived.”


    “Lead him to the dining room. I''ll be right there to have breakfast with him,” replied Zachary.


    “Yes, Sir.” Ben headed downstairs.


    “Well, I''ll be going now.” Robbie gave Zachary a hug before turning to leave.


    Zachary''s chest tightened as he watched his son walk away, albeit feeling assured about having a


    sessor at the same time.


    At least I know that when I''m gone one day, Nacht Group will be safe in his hands. Still, someone''s


    going to have to call the shots before that dayes.


    At that thought, Zachary grew solemn. I have to be extra prepared. If Charlotte doesn''te back, I


    need to keep Nacht Group alive for at least twelve more years until Robbie turns eighteen. That''s still a


    long way to go. I''ll have toy all the foundations out before that.


    Then, he quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and headed downstairs to meet Spencer.


    Meanwhile, Robbie sat in front of hisputer in the study, searching for Danrique''s whereabouts.


    He had inadvertently found out from Marino that Zachary was looking for someone named Francesco,


    who was Danrique''s close friend. I have to find Uncle Dan first.
