Passion 175
Chapter 175
The students must be about to be dismissed from kindergarten around this time. Tristan wanted to catch that little troublemaker.
When his car arrived at the kindergarten, his eyes didn't leave the gates for a moment. Finally, he spotted Zachary.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Since many parents were around the kindergarten's gates, Tristan couldn't send his bodyguards to catch Zachary. Instead, he had to go himself.
"Keep an eye out. Don't let him escape," Tristan ordered. He knew that the kid was cunning.
At that moment, Zachary, who still waiting for his ride to Kiki's place, suddenly felt like something was wrong. He glanced around, only for Tristan's cold and daunting face to reflect in his dark eyes. Zachary was caught off-guard. How had Tristan known where to find him?
Without thinking much, Zachary hastily ducked into a group of children and ran out.
Malcolm was puzzled. "Zac, what are you doing?"
Zachary was on guard now. He replied to Malcolm, "Looks like a different person is picking you up today. You better go."
Malcolm was left confused. Still, he followed Zachary's gaze and quickly noticed Tristan.
"It's Mr. Tristan, Uncle Xav's friend! I didn't expect him to come pick me up today. I'm off. Bye!"
Tristan saw Zachary hiding among the children and was about to chase after him when someone suddenly grabbed his thigh.
"Mr. Tristan!"
Tristan looked down and saw Malcolm's bright and eager eyes. Malcolm, the eldest grandson of the Lane family, was treated like a precious doll by his family.
"Malcolm, what's going on?" Tristan asked.
Malcolm was a bit perplexed. "Aren't you here to pick me up, Mr. Tristan?"
Tristan was as confused as could be. Why would he be here to pick up Malcolm? Wasn't it enough that the Lane family to treat him like a god? Did the Shaws have to worship him as well? Tristan didn't like children in the first place, so he gently pulled Malcolm away. "You've misunderstood me; I'm looking for someone."
Malcolm couldn't help but feel disappointed. But just now, Zachary had said... Wait, how had Zachary known that Tristan had come to pick him up? Did Zachary also know Tristan? Malcolm had many questions, but he quickly dismissed them. Since he admired Xavier the most, he also liked the people around Xavier.
"Mr. Tristan, who are you looking for?" Malcolm knew that Tristan, like Xavier; didn't have children. His
mother had told him that both Xavier and Tristan had problems and couldn't have children.
Poor Xavier and Tristan!

"I'm looking for a little troublemaker." Tristan glanced around. He had to find Zachary and spank his butt!
As soon as Malcolm heard that, he didn't even think Tristan was talking about Zachary. In his opinion, Zachary studied well, spoke well, and paid attention. Zachary wasn't a troublemaker at all. "Okay, go wait for someone to pick you up. I'll go look for him." Tristan didn't want to waste any more time.
Soon, he saw his target hiding in a corner.
Tristan brisked over and picked up the child. "You little troublemaker, I finally found you!"
As Tristan lifted the child and turned him around, he faced a completely unfamiliar face. The little boy in front of him only resembled Zachary from the back. However, they looked completely different. The little boy was obviously scared by Tristan and instantly burst into tears. "You're a strange man..."
The child's crying sounded as though it were on loudspeaker, and it quickly drew strange looks from parents, teachers, and children around.
If Tristan hadn't been the decent, good-looking man he was, they would have definitely mistaken him for a child trafficker.
Tristan awkwardly held the child. Before he could react, a parent snatched the child away. "Are you crazy? Why are you holding my child? I'm going to call the police!"
Tristan's face stiffened. "I'm sorry. I got the wrong child."
