On the way home, Charlotte wondered about what Sean meant by his last sentence. When she enquired, he would
not reveal anything more, except that after the signing of the papers, they will make further arrangements…
Sean’s secretive ways only made her more curious.
She recalled that Zachary did mention Danrique having a lover and they had a child together. Yet, Danrique had
never spoken to her about this.
What Sean mentioned just now made her believe that the rumor was true…
Was it possible that the person whom Sean said she must bring along for Danrique was the love child?
If that was true, then this was a good deed, indeed.
Nevertheless, Charlotte felt much more at ease as she realized that she was playing an important role. At the very
least, she was doing something helpful for Danrique.
Apparently, Danrique had planned for this emergency. Sean is right, I must pay heed to him now and not worry

A pretty petite little figure rushed out, interrupting her thoughts. “Mommy!”
Charlotte turned to look. It was Ellie, running out of the castle wearing a beautiful white cashmere coat…
Charlotte went over immediately and picked her up. “Ellie, why are you out? It’s cold outside.”
“I miss you, Mommy.” Ellie had her arms around Charlotte’s neck, nestled in her embrace like a sweet baby.
“Ellie is a good girl!” Charlotte stroked her hair, speaking gently, “I went out today to run some errands. Look, I’m
back.”
“Mommy, are you going to marry Sir Louis?” Ellie asked in a soft voice. “What will happen to us after that?”
“Whether Mommy gets married or not, my love for you all will not be affected.” Charlotte kissed Ellie’s forehead.
“You all will always be Mommy’s children. No one can change that.”
“What about Daddy?” Ellie’s voice was all choked up. “You really don’t want him anymore?”
Hearing these words, Charlotte’s heart sank. She had communicated with the children several times. It was
impossible for her and Zachary to be together again, but the children still had expectations…
What could she do? She could only explain to them over and over again, tirelessly.
“Ellie, Daddy and I have separated.”
“I know.” Ellie lowered her head sadly.
“Good girl!” Charlotte carried Ellie inside. “Hungry? I’m making dumplings for you today. Will you come and help?”
“Yes, I’ll help…”
Ellie was quickly distracted from thoughts of her Daddy to making dumplings with Charlotte in the kitchen.
From the corridor on the second floor, Robbie watched everything that was going on. Without a word, he went back
into his own room to continue reading but the words did not register in his brain.
In the afternoon, the internet connection was cut off. None of the computers could be used online. Even the TV
could not be used for watching the news.
He knew that this was Mommy’s instruction. He knew what was going on, but still, he needed to see proof.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust now, he heard the sound of a car and was about to go downstairs to look for Mommy but then, he saw her
carrying Ellie indoors as if consoling her and so, he drew the conclusion…
Apparently, Mommy was really getting married to someone else.
There would be no reconciliation for the family.
Robbie felt sad so he took his smartwatch to call Jamie but on second thought, he decided against it.
Perhaps Jamie did not know the news yet so it was better to let him be carefree for a longer time.
Still, what about Daddy?
Robbie’s heart ached when he thought of Daddy.
He recalled Daddy had asked them not to interfere with adults’ affairs and that Mommy had her own ways of
thinking so they must support her in every way…
Daddy was so considerate of Mommy so why did Mommy leave him?
He did not really understand adult feelings but he felt that Mommy must have a reason for her decision.
He trusted Mommy but he felt sorry for Daddy, too.
Nevertheless, it was beyond his power to do anything.
