“Louis, Louis,” Charlotte called as she put on her coat. “They’re here. Wear your coat quickly.”
Louis muttered something incomprehensible under his breath. But there was no sign of wakefulness.
Charlotte was resigned, so she gently set Alpha down by the sofa and swiftly put on her clothes.
The voices were getting nearer and nearer.
Charlotte urgently pushed Louis. “Louis. Louis. Wake up…”
Louis was still half asleep when he saw Charlotte’s beautiful face right in front of him. His heart skipped a beat at
her beauty. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her.
“Louis, what are you doing?”
Charlotte was stunned. She quickly pushed him away.
At that moment, the door opened, and she accidentally fell deeper into Louis’s embrace.
Sherlyn screamed in surprise, then quickly shut the door. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry about the intrusion. Please

Charlotte was blushing bright red. She pushed Louis harder and dashed to the other side to smoothen her clothes.
“Charlotte, I’m sorry.” Louis finally fully snapped awake. “I didn’t know what happened earlier, I-”
“Stop. Quickly put on your clothes,” Charlotte reminded with a frown.
“Okay.” Louis quickly got up and began putting on his clothes.
Soon, they were both dressed appropriately. Charlotte went outside with Alpha still asleep in her arms.
Morgan went up to take Alpha into her arms and passed the rabbit to the bodyguard.
“Are you hurt?” Lupine asked softly.
Charlotte didn’t reply but turn to Sherlyn to explain. “Lady Sherlyn, we’re both drenched. Our clothes were wet.
So-”
“I understand completely.” Sherlyn cut her off with a laugh. “You’re both young. I understand there are times when
your feelings overcome you. Moreover, your wedding is coming soon.”
“No. We’re-”
“It’s fine.” Sherlyn interrupted Charlotte again. “It’s already dark. The kids are waiting for you. Let’s hurry back.”
Charlotte stopped explaining and got in the car.
“Charlotte!” Louis dashed out the door, wanting to follow Charlotte into the car, but she shut the door in his face.
“Louis, get in my car.” Sherlyn pulled Louis into her car. “Finally, some improvement, my son.”
“What?” asked Louis confusedly.
“I told you to work harder to woo Charlotte.” Sherlyn blinked her eyes cheekily. “She won’t run from you once you
have wooed her.”
“Mommy, what are you talking about?”
Louis sneezed before he could finish his sentence. Then a string of sneezes followed.
“Oh no. You’ve caught a cold. Let’s hurry back and get you some medicine.” Sherlyn quickened her pace to the car
with Louis in tow. She felt the temperature on his forehead. “Your temperature is rising. It was raining heavily. You

“Mommy, Charlotte came all the way to search for the child. I surely have to accompany her.” Louis frowned. “How
are we going to explain if we lost the child?”
“She won’t go missing,” Sherlyn blurted out, then immediately covered her mouth with her hands.
“I also think she won’t. But the child is so small. We have to search for her.” Louis added unhappily, “I hope I’m not
overstepping my bounds by telling you this, but you have to be careful when watching children. It would be bad if
anything bad happened.”
“All right. I can’t believe you got sick after all this trouble.”
“It’s merely a cold. It’s nothing serious. I’ll be fine with some medication from Dr. Felch.”
“Right. Let’s head back quickly,” Sherlyn urged. “I have some medication back at the resort. You’ll recover soon.
We’re not used to the herbal concoction.”
“Aunt Sherlyn, it’s better if Louis consulted Dr. Felch.” Diana added, “Louis got sick because of Ms. Lindberg. She
would feel bad if she knew about it and might even ask to take care of Louis.”
