Chapter 973

Eagle was confused-he was positive that Zachary would never free himself after with the knots he tied around him.

’How did you free yourself?

Someone must have done it!

Zachary chuckled coldly. "You've been betrayed."

Tommy blinked his big, bright eyes. "By who?"

"Your mommy, of course!" Zachary snapped, not bothered to give chase." Now get over here like a good boy, and I

won't make it hurt. Get stubborn with me, and you'll get a spanking!”

Tommy's little jaw hung open. "You're terrible, Uncle Zachary."

"Only because it's you-or did you forget what you did to me?" Zachary growled, sitting down on the stairs and

beckoning, "Get over here."

Tommy, however, turned toward Eagle. "Do you think the two of us can beat him?"

"I can do it myself,' Eagle replied.

The exchange left Zachary speechless, while Tommy confidently put his hands on his hips. "Get over here.’

"You brat!’ Zachary snapped. "You should behave, but you want a fight instead? I see you really want a spanking!"

Tommy simply slid closer to Eagle.

He always thought that Eagle was too strict with him, but standing beside the man now felt safe, since Eagle

loomed like a mountain wherever he stood.

"You can't get me," Tommy mocked as he made silly faces at Zachary.

Zachary was at a loss of words.

Was he really being bullied by a child?

This was simply tragic. How far had he fallen?!

"Whatever." Zachary snorted. "I won't get petty with a child.'

He got up, dusting his rump before returning inside the house.

Tommy poked at Eagle's leg and said, "Oh, he gave up.'

Zachary almost slipped and fell at the boy’s words.

Pursing his lips, he wheeled on Tommy and snapped, "Revenge is a dish best served cold."

Tommy promptly hid behind Eagle and stayed around the man ever since, even during dinners. After all, he knew

that only Eagle could protect him.

Sheryl found that weird at first, since the boy was really afraid of Eagle.

And now, he was clinging to Eagle more closely than he did with his parents!

"Uncle Eagle," Tommy then said. "Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Everyone around the table was stunned, and Sheryl could not help asking," What's gotten into you, Tommy?"

Tommy, however, could not care less what others thought, and he tugged at Eagle's sleeve. "Okay?"

Eagle was blinking.

This kid had been constantly hiding from him earlier, but was now calling him 'Uncle Eagle'!

Still, he could not say yes since it was not up to him. "You have to ask your mom."

Tommy quickly turned toward Irene, who shrugged. "Do whatever you like."

Zachary was quiet, but he said then, ‘I forgot what you did to me anyway. You don't have to be that careful."

"I don't believe you," Tommy replied.

Irene shot the boy a look. "It's been half a day now. Stop it."

"You betrayed me, Mommy." Tommy huffed.

Irene was speechless. "What are you talking about?"

"Uncle Zachary told me."

Zachary was speechless, while Irene turned toward him.

What had gotten into them? It was as if they all had something against him!

"I'm done. You guys do whatever you want," Zachary said with a snort-he really could not afford to challenge them!

Irene called out, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Not feeling an appetite," Zachary replied.

However, he did not lose appetite over something so simple, or he would be as petty as a child.

In fact, he was sulking mostly because he did not get to see Lulu's baby. Suddenly, a man barged into the dining

room!
