Chapter 1295

“So you’re really going?” Lupine asked softly, “Do you think we should ask more people to come along? What if she pulls some tricks?”

Charlotte smirked. “It’s no big deal if she does that.”

“What are we doing then?”

“Go and check if the soup is ready.” Charlotte changed the topic. “Peel a few potatoes too. I’m making some spicy and sour shredded potatoes. Dr. Felch loves it.”

“Okay.” Lupine went right into the kitchen and got to work.

Meanwhile, Charlotte continued boiling her tea until Hayley got back from the market. She had bought some pears for Dr. Felch.

Charlotte asked her to leave the pears with her and started making some pear stew.

Dr. Felch slept through the whole afternoon and did not wake up until the sun set at six in the evening. Sam was baking him some sweet potatoes when Lupine brought him some soup.

Charlotte had made a few dishes and everyone gathered in the courtyard for dinner.

Not long after everyone started eating, Bruce arrived with his men. Charlotte asked them to join them for dinner, but he said they had already eaten. He went over to Lupine and passed her a pair of car keys. “Mr. Nacht asked me to bring an extra car for you guys. Do you need anything else?”

“Nope, we’re good. Thanks.”

Lupine poured them some drinks and the men thanked her.

“Charlotte, you should go home earlier. The children are still waiting for you at home,” Dr. Felch said as he ate, “Remember to bring them over tomorrow.”

“I’m not even done eating yet. Why are you in a hurry to send me off?” Charlotte said begrudgingly, “You didn’t even thank me for making all this food. How could you do this to me?”

Dr. Felch laughed out loud. “Come on, I’m just worried about you and the kids.”

“I know. I’ll get going then.”

Charlotte put down her cutlery and went to wash her hands before coming back to bid everyone goodbye.

“See you, Ms. Lindberg,” Bruce said.

After making sure that Charlotte and Lupine had left, Bruce went back to the courtyard and passed Zachary’s health report and treatment plans to Dr. Felch.

Sam lighted a candle so Dr. Felch could see clearly, but still, the old man’s eyesight was failing him.

Bruce explained everything to him patiently as the old man nodded weakly. “I’ll take a look into it.”

Over in the city, Lupine drove to Platinum Café and let Charlotte off.

Charlotte used to come here a lot when she was together with Hector.

She still visited this restaurant after they broke up since it was right opposite Zachary’s company. She would always come here with Zachary back when she was still working at Nacht Group.

Charlotte realized Nancy had booked the whole place the moment she went in. All the waiters and waitresses were different.

There were even four bodyguards at the door and there were more inside the restaurant.

Nancy was on the phone with someone when Charlotte arrived. When her subordinate went over to her seat beside the window to inform her of Charlotte’s arrival, she quickly hung up and stood up to greet her guest. “It’s been a long time, Ms. Lindberg.”

She was polite and humble.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you again,” Charlotte said with a smile.

“The pleasure’s mine,” Nancy replied with a nod. “Have a seat.”

When Nancy saw that Charlotte had only brought a bodyguard with her, she asked her men to step away, leaving behind just two of them.

She even apologized to Charlotte after that. “I’m sorry. My dad’s a little paranoid.”

“It’s fine. I can understand.” Charlotte took up a napkin and wiped her hands. “When did you reach H City?”

“I came in the morning,” Nancy replied accordingly without taking her eyes off Charlotte, “You look way more stunning in person.”
