Chapter 1189

“That’s right. Lady Sherlyn has been using all sorts of tricks to push Louis and Ms. Lindberg together. She’s the mastermind behind today’s incident too.”

“Think of a way to inform Ms. Lindberg!”

“Do you think that she’s oblivious to all these? She isn’t foolish…”

“Yeah. Since the situation is so complicated now, perhaps Ms. Lindberg has her own grievances. Let’s not intervene too much and just focus on protecting Robbie and Ellie.”

“I know. You must take good care of Mr. Nacht and prevent him from finding out what’s happening. If he asks about it, you must take note…”

“I understand.”

After hanging up the call, Ben was filled with worry. At that moment, he was helpless to do anything. All he could do was to look after Zachary and wait for him to recover miraculously.

Meanwhile, the weather at Arkfield was gloomy and the temperature had dropped.

The rain from last night had not stopped, causing the courtyard to be covered in water.

Charlotte and the kids spent a leisurely morning in the library.

Robbie read silently while Ellie told a story to the three kids.

Reading on the sofa, Charlotte would glance at the children occasionally with an affectionate smile.

Sometimes, it was a kind of happiness to warm herself up by the fireplace, have a drink and do some reading.

“Sorry to bother you.”

A familiar voice sounded as Sherlyn entered with her maids, who were pushing two trolleys filled with delicious pastries and drinks.

“Why are you here, Lady Sherlyn?” greeted Charlotte as she stood up.

“I heard that you’re reading here, so I sent some pastries over.” Sherly always had a friendly and courteous smile on her face. “Children, come here and take a look! Do you like these?”

The maids placed the pastries on the table.

Ellie and the three little ones ran over immediately, overjoyed to see the exquisite pastries.

Although Robbie did not have much of a reaction, he still placed his book down and greeted her politely.

“Thank you, Lady Sherlyn,” said Charlotte courteously.

“There’s no need to be so polite around family, right?” replied Sherlyn with a laugh. “I like to do some reading too.

Should I keep you company, children?”

“Yes!”

The children did not care who was keeping them company. Furthermore, since Sherlyn kept trying to appease them each day, they were not wary of her.

“I’ll accompany the children, Charlotte. You should visit Louis.” Sherlyn held Charlotte’s hand and said worriedly, “His cold worsened and he’s having a fever. When I visited him just now, he was leaning against the sofa in a daze and calling your name.”

“I visited him this morning and he seemed much better. Did he become worse?” Charlotte was a bit suspicious.

“Yeah! He even has a fever,” exclaimed Sherlyn worriedly.

“I’ll go and take a look.” Charlotte turned around and instructed the children, “Be good, darlings. Read here and don’t run around, okay?”

“Okay!” Ellie and the three kids answered in unison.

“Robbie…” Charlotte was about to speak to Robbie when he suddenly said, “Mommy, I’m going to attend online classes in my room after reading this book.”

“Good boy.” Charlotte stroked his head before shooting a look at Lupine. “Keep an eye on the kids.”

“Yes.” Lupine nodded.

Charlotte left with Morgan and two other female bodyguards, while the rest remained behind.

As Lupine was even more careful and meticulous than Morgan, Charlotte instructed her to stay back and protect the children.

Upon reaching Louis’ room, Charlotte knocked on the door and entered. However, she bumped into Diana feeding Louis the medicine. “Louis, you’re having a fever, so you have to take your medicine. Please eat this…”

“I’ll do it myself.”

Just when Louis was pushing Diana’s hand away, Charlotte walked into the room.

When he spotted her, he was so nervous that he lost control over his strength and shoved Diana to the ground.

Her forehead crashed against the table with a loud thud.
