Charlotte did not lie, for she did call Danrique outside. That was because the agreed-upon day of their meeting was
about to arrive, and she wanted to know how he was doing.
For the past month, Danrique did not keep in touch with her. Erihal kept a lid on all matters, so she did not receive
any updates.
Although she was worried, she dared not ask questions.
Now that the day was near, she wanted to check on him.
The phone kept ringing, but no one picked it up. Charlotte thought about sending someone over to start an
investigation. However, upon recalling Sean’s reminder that she was to ignore everything, focus on her recovery,
and protect the children, she dared not do so.
At that thought, Charlotte gave up on her fleeting idea. She glanced at the forest not far away, feeling strangely
unsettled.
“Mr. Lindberg will be fine,” Lupine reassured her. “Perhaps he’ll be in contact a few days later.”
“I’ll have to pacify myself with that.” Charlotte let out a sigh. “Where’s Gordon?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“He was patrolling outside a while ago.” Lupine tilted her head and said, “Oh, here he is.”
As soon as she spoke, Gordon strode over to them and came to a stop before Charlotte. “Ms. Lindberg,” he greeted
her politely.
“There are many outsiders here in the manor today, so it might be quite rowdy. Do you have any problem with
security?” asked Charlotte worriedly.
“There are fifty-seven visitors in total, including the magicians,” Gordon replied. “Besides that, they also brought
some small animals along. I’ve already asked the rest to run a thorough check. Don’t worry. I’ll handle the security.”
“Thanks!” Charlotte bobbed her head slightly.
“No problem.” He reciprocated her gesture with a polite bow, then turned to Lupine and said, “I have to monitor
the surroundings since too many outsiders will be around. You should stay with Ms. Lindberg and the children at all
times.”
“Got it. I’ll never leave Ms. Lindberg’s side today,” Lupine answered with a brisk nod. “As for the others, I’ll assign
them to protect the children.”
“The kids are more important than me.” Charlotte scoffed. “Even if someone tries to harm me, I can deal with him.
A few assassins won’t be able to hurt me.”
“Yes!” Lupine lowered her head.
“Make the necessary arrangements. Keep an eye on the kids at all times tonight. Everything must go well.”
Charlotte reminded in a stern tone.
“Yes. I’ll do it right away.”
“Don’t worry,” Gordon reassured. “Even if someone had sneaked into the magician troupe, we can handle them. I
doubt they’ll be a large group, so be rest assured.”
“Mm. Better be safe than sorry.” Charlotte stared at the stage they were building, dread filling her heart. “All right.
Get to work. I’ll go back after taking a look at Fifi.”
“Got it.” Gordon signaled the two female bodyguards to look after Charlotte before he left.
As per her words, Charlotte went to visit Fifi. For some reason, the eagle had been lethargic for a while. Why,
though? It has been a long time since Fifi got drenched by the rain, so it should be fine by now. Or did it become
fragile after becoming a household pet?
“Did it eat something wrong?” One of the female bodyguards suggested casually, “Perhaps it isn’t used to the beef
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmin F Nation?”
At once, Charlotte ordered someone to fetch a piece of the beef Fifi usually ate and let Sam check it out.
She was worried that someone had orchestrated Fifi’s illness.
After that, Charlotte went back to accompany her children.
Louis was playing Lego blocks with the kids in their playroom right then. “You’re awesome, Sir Louis!” they cheered
and clapped in delight at the spaceship he had just built.
Louis grinned cheerfully. He wanted to continue playing Lego blocks with them, but they were bored of the game
and wanted to learn how to make desserts.
Looking troubled, he told them, “I don’t know how to make desserts. Should I ask my mom to teach you?”
“Sure!” they responded in unison.
When Louis was leading the kids to Sherlyn, they bumped into Charlotte. He smiled at her as a greeting before
leaving with the kids.
Seeing how hard he was trying to please her, Charlotte felt slightly guilty. Alas, she had no time to ponder over this,
for it was more important to spend the next two days in peace.
