Chapter 1193
At these words, Sherlyn paused her action of cutting her steak and her expression froze. Nevertheless, she
recovered instantly and smiled. “You must spend more time together now that you will married soon.”
“Yes, of course.” Charlotte smiled. “Louis and I have been friends for many years. We had always spent time
together.”
“That's right,” Louis confirmed. “Mom, we...”
“What's right?” Sherlyn interrupted her son and spoke in a disapproving manner, “The time together I meant is not
the same as friendship. You are so grown up now. You should know.”
She pretended to scold her son but those words were meant for Charlotte.
Louis was dumbfounded not knowing why his mom seemed mad at him.
“In matters of the heart, it is better to let feelings grow naturally,” Charlotte explained plainly. “Doing things in haste

Charlotte emphasized the meaning of doing things in haste.
Sherlyn quickly understood what she meant. She thought she was being discreet but Charlotte had seen through
her veiled message without embarrassing her.
“To you, Lady Sherlyn” Charlotte raised her glass to Sherlyn with a graceful smile.
Sherlyn quickly pulled herself together and raised her glass to her. “Charlotte, as his mother, I wish you both well.
After all, your marriage is not just between two people but rather involves two clans.”
These words were meant as a hint to remind Charlotte that her responsibilities were heavy.

“Lady Sherlyn, you are right.” Charlotte drained her glass and continued with a smile, “My elder cousin, Danrique is
also in favor of this marriage because he believes Louis is a straightforward and honest man whom I can trust.”
“That is absolutely true.” Sherlyn smiled in contentment.
“For our safety, he has sent his trusted man over to us.” Charlotte continued to say, “Don't you know? Gordon is
Danrique's bodyguard.”
Sherlyn was shocked by this revelation. This would mean that everything that happened here would be known by
Danrique.
“Danrique has been busy lately so I dare not bother him. I shall seek his forgiveness in a few days,” Charlotte spoke
with a voice full of guilt. “I have promised to take care of his three children. We have been here only a few days and
Alpha actually went missing. If he knew about this, I'm afraid he would be furious.”
“This... I am also responsible for this.”
Sherlyn was a little wary. Charlotte was telling her that not only did she know whatever tricks she was up to, but
Danrique was aware too.
“It was not your fault, but rather, my staff did not do her duty well,” Charlotte quickly replied. “Anyway, that was an
accident. Fortunately, nothing bad happened. Just make sure it does not happen again in the future.”

not happen again,” Louis explained quickly.
“Louis is absolutely right,” Sherlyn added, “I have instructed my maids to be careful and vigilant about the
children's safety whenever they are around them.”
“Thank you.” Charlotte smiled.
“I'm done. Now, I'll go and get ready for my treatment,” Charlotte put down her cutlery and said to Louis. “Louis,
remember to take your medicine and then rest well.”
“Yeah.” Louis nodded.
Charlotte curtsied to Sherlyn and then got up and left...
Sherlyn gazed at her with an expression that was too complicated to describe...
“Mommy, I'm taking my leave too.” Louis left the table too.
Sherlyn finally released her anger, slammed her wine glass on the table and left in a fury...
Back in her room, Diana muttered softly, “Isn't it true that we can't judge a book by its cover. Ms. Lindberg looks so
young but she is unexpectedly a master of words, warning us with every word she uttered.”
