“But…”

“No buts. It’s decided,” insisted Charlotte to cut Gordon’s words short. After that, she instructed, “Once we land,

you will take all seven of your men back to Erihal. Call me as soon as you learn anything.”

“I’ll leave after I helped settle you and the kids down. You gave up custody of your kids just to protect Mr. Lindberg’s

children, so I can’t ignore your wellbeing,” offered Gordon who was still worried.

“I am not that nice,” replied Charlotte while grinning, “It’s just that given the current situation, my kids are safer

with Zachary than they are with me. Hence, I am also doing all this for their sake.”

“But if it hasn’t been for us, you could’ve gone back to the Nacht family. It would be safer for you, and you’d get to

reunite with your kids.”

Gordon could see things clearly. The truth was that Charlotte was sacrificing herself to protect all three of

Danrique’s children. In a way, history was repeating itself. Charlotte was protecting the kids, just as her mother had

protected Danrique all those years ago.

“Oh, stop being dilly-dallying already and man up,” said Charlotte. She changed the topic and ordered, “The sun is

rising. You should go rest up now. We have a busy day ahead after we landed.”

“Okay,” said Gordon. He stood up and bowed politely to Charlotte before returning to his seat.

Charlotte looked out the window and stared at the clouds. A complex emotion gnawed at her. Who would’ve

thought that after all the twists and turns, I’d return to where it all began?

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lindberg. The trouble will pass, and you are no longer the person you used to be. We can rise

back up to the top once this is all over,” said Lupine while serving Charlotte a cup of warm tea.

“Rise back up to the top?” murmured Charlotte before an exasperated and bitter smile crept up on her lips, “That’s

true. The assets and resources Danrique left me would allow me to rise back to the top, but…”

Charlotte tilted her head down and stared at the cup of warm tea she had with her. In a voice thick with tears, she

added, “I’d rather give it all up just to have Danrique back.”

In the past, all Charlotte ever felt for Danrique were respect, fear, and appreciation. There was no love whatsoever.

That was why all she could think about was his cruelty and his ambition when she first got reunited with her kids.

Charlotte was certain that Danrique couldn’t understand the love between a parent and a child.

That was why she was ready to leave the Lindberg family when Danrique asked her about the kids. She assumed

that he would never accept them and might even hurt them.

As time passed, she learned that underneath his cruel exterior was a heart that beat with more honor and love

than anyone.

His cruelty was only directed at those he deemed an outsider.

Danrique was the kind of man who would sacrifice his life to protect the people he saw as his family.

When it came to the people he cared about, Danrique would reprimand mercilessly but do the most heartwarming

gestures.

Charlotte, however, took too long and had to go through so much to understand how much he cared.

“Mr. Lindberg is fine. I believe that he is still alive. He has to be,” said Lupine as her eyes reddened with tears.

“Yes, I think so too. That is why we only need to be patient and wait for him to return,” agreed Charlotte. She took a

deep breath to calm herself down.

“Yeah,” said Lupine while nodding. Then, she added, “But, Ms. Lindberg, are you really not going back to the Nacht

residence? Aren’t you worried about how Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie would feel?”

“Yaleview is right next to H City, so I can visit them often. I just hope they won’t hate me for this,” replied Charlotte.

Thinking about her kids inevitably stung her heart.

“Why not just stay in H City?” asked Lupine curiously, “Won’t it be great to live closer together? That way, all six kids

can hang out and play together all the time.”

“Things will never be the same again, so we should just keep our distance,” answered Charlotte as she grinned

bitterly, “It doesn’t matter how Lindberg Corporation’s future is. The fact is that I can never go back to the Nacht

family. Besides, before Danrique left, he repeatedly warned me against ever reaching out to Zachary again.”

“Okay. The two families have been at odds for generations, so I guess it makes sense that all that bad blood won’t

go away that easily,” said Lupine while nodding in exasperation.

“At odds…” muttered Charlotte. Her expression took a sharp change when she blurted, “Could it be…? Does the

Nacht family have anything to do with Danrique’s disappearance?”
