qRobbie said while nodding, “I'm not sure, but that might be the case! It's not much of a challenge to locate her as
compared to locating Uncle Dan.”
“Well, we'll try our luck with your mysterious aunt and bring her daughters to her even if Danrique isn't here with
her.”
“I'll try my best, but it's going to take some time.” Staring at the screen of his laptop, Robbie was determined to
bring her cousins back to their mother.
“It's okay. Just try your best.” Charlotte leaned over and kissed her son on the cheek.
As a result, her son flushed and asked, “Mommy, what do you think you're doing? I'm no longer a kid!”
“Who's this flushing little boy in front of me? You're aware you'll always be my son no matter how old you are,
aren't you?” Charlotte teased the flushing Robbie.
“T-That's it for today. It's time to call it a day.” Robbie rushed out of the room with his laptop once he wrapped up
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe conversation with his mother.
Charlotte laughed, thinking that things weren't as terrible as she thought since Robbie had finally gotten his hands
on a useful lead.
She had faith she would reach Francesco in no time and acquire his aid to do something about Zachary's condition.
Charlotte had a great night sleeping like a log because of the great news. Meanwhile, Zachary, who was at
Southridge, couldn't even fall asleep.
He picked on Ben, who was there to keep him safe, out of something trivial more than once to vent his frustration.
Ben felt aggrieved and thought it would be another hectic night because Zachary showed no signs of sleeping at all
when it was already one o'clock.
Zachary got increasingly irked as he couldn't toss and turn due to the racking sensation he would feel.
When he was about to pick on Ben, Ben asked in a hushed voice, “Shall I go get Ms. Lindberg?”
Zachary had the same idea, but he played hard to get and remarked, “You're aware it's your suggestion and not
mine, right?”
It wasn't much of a challenge for him to converse with others after the countless naps he had throughout the day.
The intelligent Ben played along with him and asserted, “Yes, I'm the one who's trying to get her to keep an eye on
you on my behalf because I wish to drop by the hospital and visit Lupine.”
Glaring at his assistant in the eyes, he asked, “Come again? Are you telling me you're going to ignore your
employer because you're in a relationship now?”
“H-Huh? N-No! I'm not! Are you saying I'm not supposed to get Ms. Lindberg?”
When Ben thought Zachary was against the idea of having Charlotte there, Zachary urged, “Get her at once unless
you wish to get on my nerves more than you already have.”
“There's no way—” Upon another glance at Zachary, Ben rephrased himself, “I'll go get her immediately!”
“I want you to make the call in front of me,” Zachary instructed as he couldn't wait to figure out Charlotte's reply.
“I wonder if she's currently asleep since it's literally the middle of the night,” Ben muttered to himself while trying to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreach Charlotte through a phone call.
Zachary had his eyes glued to Ben's phone in anticipation of Charlotte's voice. However, the person on the other
end failed to pick up the call.
Zachary's heart sank to the bottom of his stomach once Ben hung up the call.
Ben glanced at the man on the bed and asked, “I think Ms. Lindberg has fallen asleep. Am I supposed to keep trying
until I reach her?”
“That won't be necessary.”
Zachary's dejection was written all over his face. He thought she couldn't care less about him. Otherwise, there was
no way she could fall asleep when he was in such bad shape.
“Maybe she's going to return early in the morning. I'll call her if she doesn't.”
“It doesn't really matter. It's time to call it a day,” Zachary remarked petulantly.
“All right.”
Ben thought it was finally time to sleep, but once he put his phone aside, the increasingly irked Zachary
reprimanded him, “Why did you bring up such a silly suggestion when I'm about to sleep? If she reverts to you in
the morning, tell her it's your idea to get her back!”
Ben's lips twitched against his will because of Zachary's mood swings.
