Chapter 1366
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Zachary did not sound like he was making a request. It sounded more like an order.
Usually, Charlotte would put up a fight and disagree with him, but this time, she just nodded and caved. âYes. I will take care of you.â
âGood.â
Zachary pulled her into his embrace and dozed off peacefully.
I shouldâve known this is the easiest way to bring her back to meâ¦
Charlotte snuggled in his arms without moving, listening to his heartbeat. His heartbeat sounds normal. I think heâs healthy. Iâm probably thinking too much.
She could finally shake the worry off.
Over at the door, Ben stopped Lupine just before she knocked on the door.
âWhat are you doing? Iâm sending Ms. Lindberg breakfast.â
âI donât think she wants any breakfast now,â Ben replied, moving aside and tilting his head, signaling at Lupine to look at the couple herself.
Lupine cocked her head and stood frozen.
Zachary and Charlotte were resting together in the bed, just like how couples in love usually did.
It seemed like they really did not need to eat anything.
âJust leave them be.â
Ben pulled Lupine away and gestured at the subordinates to stay outside.
âI should be happy for them, but I donât know why I feel so unsettled,â Lupine said.
âWhy?â Ben was curious. âIâve been hoping for this day all this while. Didnât you say you wanted them to get back together as well?â
âYesâ¦â Lupine wanted to say more but did not. âItâs nothing. I just want Ms. Lindberg to be happy.â
Then, she left.
Ben looked at her as she walked off, unable to understand what was in that head of hers. She clearly said she wished they got back together. Why did she change her mind?
What is she thinking exactly?
Lupine went over to the staircase and sat down, eating the breakfast she bought for Charlotte alone. Her heart became heavier as she ate away.
Back then, she was so frustrated looking at Charlotte hiding her true feelings about Zachary, but now that they patched things up, Lupine was worried about Charlotte.
What if he dies? What will become of her?
Charlotte would probably get over it faster if they did not reconcile. She would go through his death easier if she were not as invested in the relationship.
Now that she has opened up to him, it will be insufferable for her if anything happens to him. This kind of pain is unbearable for her.
Lupine sighed at the thought.
Meanwhile, Ben was secretly happy that Zachary and Charlotte had finally mended fences. He saw this accident as a blessing in disguise for the two.
He quickly called Bruce and shared the good news with him. He also told Bruce that Sean probably knew where to find Francesco.
âIâm glad to know theyâre back together,â Bruce said tritely, âAs for Sean, of course, Iâm aware that he might know where Francesco is. Iâve thought of contacting him, but heâs disappeared together with Danrique. Thereâs no getting hold of him at all.â
âFor real?â Ben was shocked. âI thought Lupine has always been in touch with Sean?â
âReally? Then there might be something we donât know,â Bruce conjectured, âFrom what I know, Sean has gone missing together with Danrique, but itâs possible that itâs all a show to hide something from everyone else.â
âAre you implying that Sean did not go missing at all and that heâs still contacting Ms. Lindberg?â Ben made a bold guess. âDoes this mean Danrique is not actually dead? Is all this just a trick to beguile everyone?â
âProbably, but I still canât trace them. We might need to get some information out from Ms. Lindberg. You need to think of a way to do that.â
âAlright. I know what to do. Mr. Spencerâs here, I need to hang up.â
