They were in the air for a few hours before they finally reached Pillere.
The weather there was much warmer than in Xendale. It was drizzling at the time, but it wasn’t snowing, so wearing
a windbreaker is perfect for that temperature.
Ellie and the toddlers had fallen asleep by then, so the maids helped them change their clothes before carrying
them off the plane.
Ellie woke up for a moment and rubbed her tired eyes before she hugged Lupine’s neck and continued sleeping.
Robbie was as grounded as he had always been. He walked down the stairs with Charlotte by his side.
Louis had a team there to welcome Charlotte, and over ten luxurious cars were parked on the field.
Charlotte had just walked down the stairs when Louis walked over excitedly to welcome her. He said, “Charlotte,
you’re finally here.”
“You must’ve waited for a long time. Sorry about that,” replied Charlotte with a grin. She was polite… perhaps too
polite.
“It’s not troublesome at all. Besides, I should be here to wait for my fiancée,” said Louis while smiling at her, “I’m so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtglad that I get to see you again so soon.”
“Yeah, we’ll really be troubling you for a while,” commented Charlotte as she grinned.
“We’re family, so I am happy to be troubled,” said Louis happily. He even took the initiative to greet Robbie, “Hi,
Robbie.”
“Hello, Sir Louis,” replied Robbie politely.
“Welcome to Pillere,” said Louis as he crouched down to shake Robbie’s hand.
“Thank you,” replied Robbie with a grin.
“Where are the other kids? I brought presents for everyone,” asked Louis warmly.
“They’re asleep.”
Dr. Felch walked down the stairs as Charlotte spoke.
Louis saw that and was quick to head over to help. He asked about Dr. Felch’s wellbeing kindly and was helping the
good doctor into the car in person.
Charlotte was pleased to see all that.
Louis was thoughtful and got everyone a place to rest in Pillere for the day. He took them to the manor in Arkfield
on the following morning.
The manor was where the Laurent family built their empire, so it was huge and the weather was pleasing. The
scenery was also calming and serene.
There were a lot of vineyards, wineries, pastures, and farms there.
Dr. Felch and the kids loved it. In fact, Dr. Felch claimed that it was one of his favorite places and was second only to
Phoenix City.
He had always enjoyed spending time indoor, but that day, he strolled around the manor and tried out some freshly
made wine. That got him so happy that he could barely hold it in.
The kids were delighted as well. They hopped around happily and went to feed the smaller animals. After that, they
went to play in the vineyard.
Charlotte was pleased to see how happy the kids were.
All she hoped was that they could spend the next forty-five days happily and safely. Ellie and I will completely
recover by then…
She also prayed that the issue at Erihal would be solved soon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd then there was Zachary.
Charlotte called Ben on the day she departed. It’s been three days, but he still hasn’t returned Robbie’s call.
Robbie checked and stared at the phone every day. He never said anything, but worry donned his eyes.
That night, Robbie finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He requested, “Mommy, I want to go home for a while.”
“Robbie, are you worried about your daddy? You’re only six and are still a child. There is nothing you can do even if
you go back,” advised Charlotte as she looked into his eyes.
“But at least I’d learn how Daddy and Jamie are now,” insisted Robbie, “Besides, I might not be able to do much, but
I can make appearances and lie so that everybody thinks that everything is fine… I have to go back. I will worry
unless I see how they are.”
“But Ben said that your daddy is in M Nation now, so you won’t see him even if you go back to H City,” replied
Charlotte, who was getting a little nervous. She suggested, “How about I just call Bruce directly?”
As she spoke, she got her phone out. She was about to call Bruce when Zachary suddenly called her…
Charlotte was taken aback. She picked up the call right away and said, “Hello.”
“I heard you’re looking for me?”
Zachary’s voice was deeper than usual and a little coarse. It sounded like he was exhausted.
