Chapter 743


    "I get it." Bruce nodded in realisation.


    "I''m pretty surprised, though, that Charlotte was willing to meet Louis," Zachary remarked.


    Zachary appeared nonchnt but was fretting inside. The Charlotte he knew two years ago had been


    an absolute fanatic about loyalty in a rtionship, particrly that of the man''s.


    It was two years since, and Charlotte had evolved from an innocent, naive girl into a cold and haughty


    woman. Could that domineering woman still have the same outlook as the sweet girl of yesteryear?


    Zachary didn''t dare to say for sure.


    "Actually, the fact that Ms. Lindberg even agreed to meet with Sir Louis is proof enough that she


    doesn''t love him," Bruce analyzed. "The more affection you feel for someone, the less epting you''d


    be of such behavior. Do you think she really got over it within a day? She doesn''t love him!"


    "That makes sense," Zachary said with a sigh.


    "But that''s not to say that she still won''t get together with him," Bruce continued. "Sir Louis is a member


    of F Nation''s royalty. Lindberg Corporation has been cultivating close ties with F Nation. A marriage


    alliance for business rtions isn''t unheard of."


    Zachary''s face instantly grew dark.


    "The Ms. Lindberg we see now is no longer the Ms. Windt we knew, but another person entirely," Bruce


    said,pletely diffident to Zachary''s growing displeasure. "Perhaps overtime, love has taken a


    backseat to politics for her. It''s very possible..." "Shut up!" Zachary bellowed, cutting short Bruce''s


    contemtions. He immediately picked up his phone and dialed Louis.


    "Zachary?" Louis answered, puzzled.


    "Where are you?" Zachary demanded in return.


    "I''m at a restaurant here at South Sea, what''s it called... Seacrest or something like that."


    Just as Louis blurted out the name of the restaurant, Zachary hung up. Turning to his chauffeur, he


    "Sure," the chauffeur replied, immediately turning the car around.


    "Uh..." Bruce faltered. "Mr. Nacht, are you..."

    "You''re right," Zachary said, narrowing his eyes. He fiddled with the wedding band on his left hand. "If


    she''s really changed that drastically and is going to get together with Louis for a marriage of


    convenience, then where am I going to find a mother for the children?"


    Bruce could not muster any response. He cursed himself for having said anything at all.


    They''d promised Henry that they were going to the hospital and even confirmed it with the ckwoods.


    However, they were now racing towards a seaside restaurant.


    Old Mr. Nacht''s going to be pissed! Bruce thought, wincing to himself.


    Another thought followed quickly on the heels of that one.


    Bruce suddenly remembered the warning that Henry had issued only that morning. He''d threatened to


    boot the next person who kept any secrets from him out of the Nacht family altogether.


    Shuddering at the thought, Bruce quickly pointed out, "The ckwoods are still waiting for us at the


    hospital. Besides, Henry has already ordered us to visit Ms. ckwood at the hospital. If you suddenly


    change your mind, won''t it..."


    "We can go to the hospitalter," Zachary said dismissively, ncing at his watch. "Tell them that well


    head overter."


    "This..." Bruce was about to speak, then caught himself when Zachary turned an icy re to him.


    Lowering his head in acquiescence, Bruce replied meekly, "All right, got it."


    Bruce thus gave Taylor a call, citing urgent matters that were currently dying them. Bruce reassured


    him that they would definitely be thereter on.


    Over the phone, Taylor concernedly told them not to worry. Zachary was to focus on his own matters


    first.


    Bruce hung up the phone with a look of resignation on his face.


    Zachary, meanwhile, was fixed on urging the chauffeur to drive as fast as he could.


    "Sure," the chauffeur nodded. They flew towards Seacrest Restaurant.


    In the meantime, Louis texted Zachary a string of several flustered texts.


    Why did you call me just now?You''re noting to look for me, are you?Youd better note to look


    for me! I''m on a date with Charlotte. Do not bother usIShe''s here. I''m not going to reply anymore. Don''t


    bother us!


    Louis ended it off with a photo.


    The restaurant was a cozy, intimate affair. Pink roses and heart-shaped balloons were scattered all


    around. Louis, in center stage, was decked out in a white tuxedo that made him look even more


    dashing and distinguished than usual.
