Chapter 1125
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Cognizant that Danrique was upset, Robert changed his tact. âDanrique, donât misunderstand. I did not intend to threaten at all. I just want to convey that Donaldâs daughter likes Louis very much and has pursued him for years.
Of course, Louis doesnât like her and we donât intend to collaborate with Donald. Thereâs no way I would consider his proposal as he is nothing compared to you. Itâs just that I am desperate for an answer from Charlotte and hope that she doesnât continue to string us along.â
âYou have a point.â Danrique frowned at Charlotte. âRegardless of whether you agree or not, you owe them an answer. So stop dragging your feet!â
âIâ¦â Just when Charlotte was about to reply, an anxious knock was heard on the door.
As the servant by the door opened it, Lupineâs voice rang out. âMs. Lindberg, we have a problem. Ms. Elisa has thrown up again.â
âWhat?â Turning pale, Charlotte dashed out.
âCharlotte, calm down. I brought a doctor with me.â Louis followed her out.
âIt seems we wonât be getting an answer tonight,â Danrique remarked cordially. âSir Robert, you must be tired from your long journey. Why donât you retire to the guest room first? In the meantime, Iâll make sure Charlotte gives you an answer within three days.â
âAll right then.â Robert frowned. Despite the displeasure in his eyes, he didnât dare complain.
âTake Sir Robert to his room.â
âYes.â
By the time Charlotte rushed out, she saw Ellie lying on the sofa. She was puking into the garbage can non-stop while her face had lost all color.
Robbie was beside her, patting her back to comfort her.
At the same time, a few female subordinates were standing by the side, not knowing what to do.
âEllie!â Charlotte quickly picked her up. âWhatâs going on? Werenât you doing fine a while ago?â
âPerhaps she is suffering from jet lag and isnât used to the place yet,â Louis comforted. âDonât worry, Iâll get my doctor to give her a check-up immediately.â
âItâs fine. I brought Dr. Felch with me.â Charlotte picked up Ellie and headed out at once. âLetâs go back and see Dr.
Felch.â
âRight away.â Lupine arranged for their ride at once.
Just as they hurriedly left, Louis was about to follow until Robert called out to him, âStop!â
âDad, Charlotte isâ¦â
âDo you know why Charlotte doesnât like you?â Robert admonished. âItâs because you behave too submissively as if youâre a sycophant.â
âHow can you say that?â Pouting, Louis was upset. âSince when being sincere is seen as being sycophantic?â
âShut up.â Robert had lost all hope in him. âNow go back upstairs.â
Louis had no choice but to comply with his head lowered.
At that moment, Danrique came out from the study and instructed his servants to take Louis to the guest room.
Without any delay, he too walked out.
After placing Ellie in the car, Charlotte turned around and said, âDanrique, Iâm taking the children back first.â
âAll right, take care,â Danrique replied before shifting his attention towards Robbie.
Robbie lowered his gaze and remained calm.
After Lupine helped him into the car, he casually glanced at Danrique and even took his leave cordially. âBye, Uncle Dan.â
Danrique nodded slightly in acknowledgment. After that, a devilish smile emerged on his face.
âMr. Lindberg, do we need to send a doctor over?â Sean asked with his brows furrowed.
âThereâs no such need,â Danrique plainly replied. âDidnât you notice how calm the child was?â
âHuh?â Sean was stunned before it dawned upon him. âAre you saying the kidsâ¦â
âHe is really crafty at such a young age.â Danrique returned to the house. âThat child holds great potential.â
Meanwhile, Charlotte hurried into the car and led her entourage back to her castle. Hayley and Sam were already waiting at the door. Dr. Felch was afraid of the cold, so he was already inside the castleâs clinic.
âHurry.â Charlotte ran into the clinic with Ellie in her arms.
After giving her a check-up, Dr. Felch asked, âWhat did she eat during dinner?â
âProbably steak, cheese, fruits, cakeâ¦â
