Chapter 1002
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Marino didnât dare to speed up because Ellie was ill. So they were late by three minutes.
Lupine waited at the entrance to the courtyard with dozens of female bodyguards, all armed with guns and looking vicious.
âWhat a fierce bunch of women.â Bruce couldnât help but feel impressed.
âDonât mess with them. Theyâre quite touchy,â Marino silently warned.
As soon as he spoke, an eagleâs cry was heard, and Fifi jumped out of the car window and landed on the back of Charlotteâs hands.
âMommy!â Jamie stuck his head out of the car window, waving excitedly at Charlotte.
âJamie!â Charlotte immediately welcomed him.
Bruce helped Robbie and Jamie out of the car as soon as the car stopped, and Jamie leaped into Charlotteâs arms, tightly hugging her by the neck all choked up, and said, âMommy, I thought it would take forever for me to see you again. I didnât expect it to be so soon.â
âAre you happy to see Mommy?â Charlotte asked while holding his tiny face.
âYes!â Jamie nodded repeatedly.
âThatâs great.â Charlotte kissed his chubby cheek.
âMommy!â Robbie ran over and wanted to hug his mom and let his mom kiss him, but his cold personality stopped him from doing so. Thus, he only watched from a distance.
âRobbie.â Charlotte hugged him and kissed him on the forehead. âMommy told you, we will meet again very soon, right?â
âYeah.â Robbie blushed and nodded, then hugged Charlotteâs neck and said, âMommy, I hope we will always be together.â
âWe will. Mommy will never leave you again.â Charlotte patted Robbieâs back. âGood boy!â
âMommyâ¦â Ellie whispered in a hoarse voice and extended her thin arms toward Charlotte.
Charlotte quickly rushed over to Ellie and hugged her. After suffering from the poison, Ellie had lost a lot of weight and still couldnât walk. She had to either lay in bed or sit in a wheelchair every single day, and she had no energy to speak.
Looking at her, Charlotte was devastated.
âEllie, I will get Dr. Felch. He will definitely fix you up.â Charlotte gently stroked Ellieâs hair. âOnce you recover, Mommy will take you to Disneyland.â
âOkay. Thanks, Mommy.â Ellie buried her face in Charlotteâs arms like a baby.
âGood girl! Mommy will carry you into the house.â
Charlotte picked up Ellie and walked into the house. She spoke to the kids without looking at Zachary. âRobbie, Jamie, Ellie. Mommy will take you to Dr. Felch. Heâs a good friend of Grandpa and also an outstanding doctor.
Remember to behave yourselves, understood?â
âUnderstood!â
Zachary looked at Charlotte from the back, feeling lost. He used to be high and mighty in front of her, and now itâs the other way aroundâ¦
This must be retribution!
âMr. Zachary, weâre being ignored. Should we go in?â Bruce asked silently.
âNonsense.â Zachary glared at him and walked into the house.
Lupineâs group didnât stop them but didnât greet them either.
Zachary shamelessly sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea.
Bruce and Marino stood behind him, awkwardly rubbing their noses, feeling uncomfortable.
âMarino!â Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard.
Marino turned around and responded. âWhy are you here? Arenât you at the hospital?â
âMs. Lindberg said that I will recover faster if Dr. Felch treats me. So she sent someone to pick me up,â said Morgan with a smile.
âMs. Lindberg is so kind to you.â
âOf course she is. Otherwise, I wouldnât be so loyal to her.â When Morgan mentioned Charlotteâs name, her face was brimming with admiration. She glanced at Zachary and asked softly, âYou sent the children back, right? Why is nobody attending to you?â
âOh, donât mention it.â Marino didnât want to say more.
