Chapter 1287
Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie talked on and on, trying to persuade Charlotte to return to Northridge.
Charlotte could not bring herself to turn them down, but she knew it was not a good idea to go back now. She was
afraid she would fall for Zachary again. She would be in for huge trouble if that happened.
She was fine with how things were at the moment. She kept her distance and they were on good terms.
“Do you guys know this is where Grandpa used to live?” Charlotte told the children, trying to change the topic.
“Mommy and Mrs. Berry used to live here as well. We took a lot of photos together. Do y'all want to have a look?”
“Yes!” Charlotte managed to spark the children's interest. “We want to see it, Mommy.”
“Great, but we'll do that later. I need to run some errands now. Why not y'all play with Alpha, Beta, and Gamma
first? I'll show you guys the photos in a bit.”

“Daddy said y'all can stay for the weekend and leave tomorrow night,” Charlotte assured the children.
“Yay!” The three kids leaped in joy when they knew they could stay over.
A cheerful smile broke out on Charlotte's face as she looked at the children. “I'm going to visit Dr. Felch now. You
guys stay at home first, okay?”
“Yes, Mommy!”
The kids ran back merrily to the courtyard to play.
Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the children. She asked Morgan to stay back to watch the kids while
Lupine and her got ready to leave.
“We can go in my car,” Zachary suggested, “I bet Dr. Felch doesn't like too many cars at his place.”
“Sure,” Charlotte agreed and hopped on with Lupine.
Lupine sat down beside Ben, who was in the driver's seat, while Charlotte and Zachary sat at the back.
The four set out with the rest of the guards at home to keep an eye on the children.
It was an enjoyable drive. There were lush trees along the way, blocking out the sun. Sprinkles of sunlight made
their way through the leaves, falling on the road like specks of golden dust, forming a pleasant sight.
The journey continued without many conversations.
Ben would steal a peek at Lupine on and off as he drove. Unlike Marino, Ben was reserved and introverted.
Although Ben and Lupine clearly had feelings for one another, none of them took the first step.
As for Zachary and Charlotte, neither was trying to strike a conversation.
Ring!
A call on Ben's phone broke the silence.
Ben connected his phone to his hands-free device and picked up the call.

A woman's voice rang softly from the other end.
“Um... Yes?”
Ben shot Lupine a nervous look.
Lupine looked away with conspicuous dismay on her face.
“Nancy here. Is Mr. Nacht there?”
Ben was instantly relieved to hear the lady was looking for Zachary and not him, but he quickly caught on and
looked anxiously at Zachary in the rearview mirror.
Zachary gestured at him and Ben nodded. “Is there anything I can do for you, Ms. Gold?”
“I'm in H City,” Nancy replied, “I have some questions to ask him but I didn't get a chance to. He had already left by
the time I woke up.”
Charlotte felt uneasy listening to Nancy. What she said was very suggestive.
Charlotte pretended as if she could not care less, but deep in her heart, a storm was already brewing.
