Chapter 1004
Once Irene opened the door, she found Zachary tiptoeing back to her room.
She called out to him, "Where have you been?"
Zachary turned around and smiled. "Nowhere."
"Did anyone tell you that I called you?" Irene asked him.
An unnatural reaction appeared on Zachary's face, and he somehow looked awkward. "You called me?"
"Yes I did," Irene told him with no uncertainty, "and it was a woman who answered, saying you were taking a
shower. I told her to tell you to call me back when you're done. She didn't tell you, did she?"
Zachary chuckled. "Nope, she didn't."
"Are you serious about her?" Irene asked her.
Zachary walked over and sat on the couch. "What do you mean?"
"The woman who answered my call," Irene said.
Zachary appeared nonchalant. "She's just a woman. What's with the seriousness? Just need to satisfy my physical
needs.’

"No, but I'm no saint who's above worldly needs," Zachary said seriously." Is it really so terrible, sleeping with one?"
He was sleeping around?! Irene certainly found it unacceptable!
"Are all men like you?" she asked.
"More or less!" Zachary shrugged, before adding, "Isaac doesn't because he's not like most men. He has restraint."
Irene snorted. "You're either covering up for him or covering up for yourself with the last part."
"Well, it's been a while since you've been with him," Zachary said. "Don't you know what he's like?"
Despite her complaint, Irene had faith in Isaac. "Just do what you will!"
She got up, ready to go back to her room.
It was late, and she needed to sleep.
Zachary stopped her. "Why did you call me?"
Irene smacked herself on the forehead. How could she have forgotten?
Turning back toward Zachary, she said, "We're moving back to the castle. Help make the arrangements.’
"Is it safe there?" he asked.
"Stan called me, saying that the crisis is over."
"Alright, I’ll make the arrangements."
The next day, Zachary worked on helping Irene and the others move.
They did not bring much over when they came and therefore did not have much to carry back, aside from personal
items and clothing.
Since there was no furniture at all, they just had to load everything they had into their car and head back to the
castle.
Things were even easier there since Pierre would help with everything.
Once they returned, Tommy was running around happily in the courtyard, since he really preferred it here-it was so
huge, and he had plenty of places to play.
He also had Eagle teach him how to shoot, since he had seen Eagle hit a leaf with a pebble before and was really
impressed-maybe even worshipful.
"Interested?" Eagle asked, leveling his black eyes on him-things had certainly been cordial between them after they
pranked Zachary together.
Tommy nodded.
Eagle said, ’Well need to get some training gear."

"No-you're too young." Eagle patted his little head.
His fingers did not have the strength, and he could not throw with enough strength.
Tommy pouted, until Eagle said, ’But you can learn marksmanship first.’
Tommy was puzzled. "What is that?"
"To aim at your target and hit it." He remembered seeing darts among Tommy's toys.
Tommy pouted again-that was no fun.
"I'll teach you how to shoot when you hit the bull's eye," Eagle said.
Tommy was immediately interested. "That's a promise."
"Of course," Eagle replied.
Irene was busy unpacking earlier and did not see them.
When she finally stepped out, she found Tommy fully focused as he launched his darts.
He thought it would be simple, but hitting the bull's eye was really difficult.
Eagle then saw Irene approach and was just about to speak when Irene shook her head, gesturing at him to not
bother Tommy.
She wanted to see if her son had the gift for it.
Eventually, she asked softly, "Do you think he can shoot, Eagle?" Eagle looked up but soon lowered his gaze again.
