Chapter 652


    "Thatpletes our wedding ceremony." Charlotte ced his hand on her cheek as tears welled up in


    her eyes. "We will be together forever, right?"


    Zachary parted his lips to reply "yes," but the word choked in his throat.


    He had no idea how to face her or reveal the harsh truth to her.


    "What''s the matter?" Charlotte could sense his mood. "Did something happen? Are you stumped?"


    Zachary took a deep breath before announcing, "We might need to be separated for the time being."


    "What?" Charlotte stared at him in disbelief.


    "Why?”


    "Trust me," Zachary uttered as he held her face solemnly. "It''s only for the time being.”


    He had made up his mind to send her away for the time being. After all, he had to protect her, think of


    the kids'' future, and protect his family''s interests. However, he would deal with everything in the


    shortest time possible and go to her.


    "Why?" Charlotte insisted. "Why do we have to be separated from each other? Where are you going?"


    She thought Zachary was going to be away on a business trip for some time.


    "I won''t be going anywhere." Zachary drew in a sharp breath and mustered his courage to reveal, "You


    are the one who needs to leave. I''lle to you after dealing with everything!"


    "Huh?" Charlotte was shocked into silence. It took her a while to find her voice. "What do you mean?


    What happened? Don''t tell me Grandpa is against our marriage now?"


    "Something happened. It''splicated and hard to exin." Zachary didn''t want to reveal too much.


    "Anyway, I need to send you away now. When things are sorted out, I''lle to you-"


    "Can I bring the kids back to Happy Avenue?" Charlotte was flustered by now. "You cane to visit


    us when you''re free."

    "No," uttered Zachary as his brows scrunched up. "The kids will remain in the Nachts'' residence. I''ll ask


    Mrs. Berry to be with you, but you can''t stay at Happy Avenue either. You need to go somewhere


    further."


    "What?" Charlotte''s eyes widened in dismay. "Why can''t I leave with the kids? Why do I need to go


    somewhere further?"


    Instead of replying, Zachary lowered his gaze silently.


    "Did something happen? Be honest with me," Charlotte whined. "Is Mr. Nacht refusing to acknowledge


    me? Did thatdy say something bad about me? Did he force you to get rid of me and keep the kids?


    Don''t tell me you agreed to his request?"


    "Yes!" Zachary looked up and eximed harshly, "I need you to leave right now!"


    Charlotte froze in disbelief as her eyes went round. "What did you just say?"


    "I said, I need you to leave now," repeated Zachary patiently. "But don''t worry. I''lle back when


    things are settled. Trust me."


    "No!" Charlotte cried out. "Didn''t you promise to be with me forever? Didn''t you say you''d stick with me


    no matter what? Why did you agree to his request? Why are you doing this to me?"


    She pounded his chest in anger.


    "I''m sorry."


    That was the first time Zachary had ever apologized to someone else. He was too proud of a man to


    bow to anyone. At that moment, he felt terribly guilty for what was about to happen to her.


    All the while, Zachary thought he was strong enough. No one could force him to do anything he


    disliked, but sadly, he was wrong.


    Turns out I can be powerless, too.I''m so useless. I can''t even protect the woman I love.
