Chapter 1225


    Charlotte felt uneasy about Sherlyn''s words; she could not, however, deny that anyone would naturally


    be worried about their future daughter-inw meeting an ex-husband alone at a hotel.


    Instead of voicing her difort, she set down her cutlery and dered, “I''m going to see Danrique''s


    kids. Please enjoy your dinner.”


    “All right,” Sherlyn acknowledged briefly before turning back to her meal.


    Louis ced his cutlery on the table and offered, “I''ll apany you, Charlotte.”


    She dismissed his offer coolly. “That won''t be necessary; you should stay here with your parents. I want


    to be alone for a while.”


    Charlotte scuttled off soon after.


    Louis watched her departing figure with a forlorn expression. His efforts to grow closer to her were


    always met with a frosty demeanor.


    Despite their engagement, Charlotte had never once opened her heart to him.


    Nothing he did could convince her to ept him as a romantic partner.


    In the meantime, Charlotte had arrived at the yroom to meet Danrique''s kids.


    The triplets seemed unusually listless that day, fiddling with their Legos distractedly. Their chattering


    selves were nowhere to be found, plunging the room into silence.


    Charlotte asked gently, “What''s wrong? Why aren''t any of you ying?”


    Alpha pouted and replied, “Ellie isn''t here, so it''s not fun. Robbie''s missing too. He doesn''t y with us,


    but he always sits beside us like he''s protecting us.”


    “Aunt Charlotte, where did they go?” Beta tugged on Charlotte''s sleeve and asked, “Where did Jamie


    go? He looks like Robbie, and he knows how to do cartwheels. It was so cool!


    Where did they go to?”


    “Did a bad person take them away?” Gamma asked with puppy-dog eyes.


    She added, “Yesterday, I saw a super tall man wearing ck clothes. He looked so fierce, just like a


    bad guy! Did he take Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie away?”


    “That''s their father. He''s not a bad guy,” Charlotte exined with a smile.


    “Really?”


    Her answer piqued the curiosity of all three kids, who crowded around her, bursting with questions of


    their own.


    “So that tall, fierce bad guy was Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie''s father? Does that mean he''s your


    husband?”


    “No, he doesn''t have to be her husband. Mommy and Daddy aren''t married, but Daddy is still our


    Daddy.”


    “Oh yeah, you''re right. Aunt Charlotte is marrying Sir Louis, so Sir Louis is her husband.”


    “Then, who should we call Uncle?”


    “Silly, of course it''s Sir Louis.”


    “Then what do we call that tall fierce man?”

    “We''ll call him the tall, fierce bad guy!” “That''s too long. I can''t remember it.”


    “Then we''ll just call him bad guy!”


    “Okay! I can remember that!”


    The triplets chattered among themselves and even came up with a nickname for Zachary.


    Charlotte could not help butugh at their antics, though it was a bittersweet moment that reminded her


    of her missing children.


    She wondered how Zachary would exin things to them. If they found out about what happened,


    would they hate me?


    Charlotte could not sit still any longer and told Lupine, “Get the car ready. We''re leaving for


    Pillere in half an hour.”


    “Huh? Aren''t we setting off tomorrow morning with Sir Louis and his family?” “I can''t wait anymore. Let''s


    go now. I''ll get Dr. Felch, and I want you to settle the travel arrangements ASAP. We''ll go to Pillere with


    these kids and the doctor,” came Charlotte''s firm orders.


    “Got it.” Lupine immediately got to work.
