Chapter 420

“I‘m not sure. Third Brother, do you know?” Hearing so, Joshua explained it to me. “When Martti and I found out that Zachary was not part of the Schick family, it was during his time in prison. After that, Assistant Yair said he made an effort to look for his biological parents in the past, but they couldn’t find them. They only found some clues, but he got busy during the power reformation in the European Region. Then, their search halted. I took the effort to help him investigate this, and even found his biological parents recently, but they were only an ordinarily average family…” I only found out that Zachary went to Norway to search for his parents much later. Moreover, Martti tricked me, and I ended up in Norway! That cabin… That was Zachary’s birthplace. I asked caringly, “Then, does Zachary know about this?” Joshua sighed helplessly, “I don’t dare to let him know.” Nervousness rose from the bottom of my heart. I asked, “What’s wrong?” “Besides Second Brother, that couple had three other sons and two daughters. Their youngest child was only nine years old.” “I went over to their place and visited them as a stranger. They were a happy family. I even tentatively asked them about their past. They mentioned that they had a son, but they lost him within a few days of his birth. I asked them what they would do if that child returned one day. They said they weren’t sure. They probably wouldn’t recognize him since they had Second Brother before their marriage. To them, Second Brother was a burden. Moreover, so many years had passed, and they had no sentiment for him. I believe they will be more worried if their life would be disturbed.” Joshua was afraid Zachary would end up disappointed, so he concealed his findings. I did not know what to say. Joshua requested me to keep it a secret. “I won’t be calculative about those that happened in the past, mainly because Second Brother initiated this!” Hearing so, I laughed. “Thank you for your understanding, Third Brother.” Joshua said helplessly, “You’re being playful again.” I chatted with Joshua for a short while before I went back into the villa. Zachary was steaming some crabs in the kitchen. I went over and hugged his waist, then buried my face in his back. He noticed my clinginess and commented, “Clingy.” I smiled. “You don’t like it?” Zachary changed the topic and asked, “Help me with my apron.” He rarely requested my help. I found the apron and helped him to put it on. Then, he instructed me to wait for him outside. However, I was very clingy. I did not want to leave his sight at all. I stayed in the kitchen the whole time until he finished preparing the meal. After we ate, I took the initiative to help clean the dishes. Not long after, I heard some noise from the living room. From the kitchen door, I saw Assistant Yair. Assistant Yair noticed me and smiled politely at me. Then, he told Zachary, “Mr. Schick. The preparations are ready.” “Hm. What time is the announcement?” Assistant Yair replied, “Tonight at eight o’clock.” What were they announcing at eight o’clock tonight?! “Hm. That’s fine.” Assistant Yair stayed a little while longer to report some matters. I was uninterested, so I went back to the kitchen and cleaned the dishes. When I went back to the living room, Assistant Yair had already left. Meanwhile, Zachary was working on his laptop. I sat beside him and hugged his arms, then rested my head against his shoulder. He gazed at me. “Tired already?” I shook my head. “Not tired.” Zachary continued to do his work. I laid on the sofa, but I was bored, so I dozed off not long after. When I woke up again, an hour had passed. Zachary was not around. I got up and went upstairs to search for him, but I could not find him. I went outside the villa and looked around, but he was not there. In the end, I sent him a message. He replied to my message. Zachary: “In the city center of Tong City.” Zachary was back in the city center. I contemplated briefly and took my car keys. I drove to the city center, but I did not look for Zachary. Instead, I went back to my company. It was my second time in the Schick family’s business park area. Tucker was surprised that I came here. “Master, why didn’t you inform me earlier?” “No worries, I’m only here to have a look.” Zachary said I needed to learn to manage the Schick family. It would become my only support and strength in the future.
