Chapter 527
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âYes,â Charlotte said, nodding her head. Truthfully, she continued, âSorry, Mrs. Berry. I shouldâve told you earlier.â
Mrs. Berry sighed deeply. âEveryone makes their own choices in life, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. If you like him, you should be with himâI can have no opinion on that. I hope heâll be good to you and the kids. Howeverâ¦â
Here, Mrs. Berry paused, looking rather uncertain.
âMrs. Berry, what are you trying to say?â Charlotte asked.
âMiss, Iâm just worried that an important family like the Nacht family might not be able to accept your children,â Mrs. Berry said, frowning. âDoesnât your boyfriend worry about that?â
âOf course notâ¦â Charlotte said, completely sure of herself, âbecause the children are his.â
âWhat?â Mrs. Berry looked at her, stunned silly. âAre you kidding me? You are, arenât you? Isnât the father of the triplets thatâthat gigolo from Sultry Nightâ¦â
âYes, thatâs him,â Charlotte couldnât believe these words were coming out of her mouth, but she told Mrs. Berry the truth anyway. âFour years ago, I got set up by Luna, but things turned out like thisâ¦â
After she finished telling the whole story to Mrs. Berry, Charlotte continued, âActually, I knew who he was from the start. But I thought he was irresponsible and unfit to be a father. In addition, I was scared of the Nacht familyâs powerâwhat if they took my children and drove me away? Thatâs why I never told him that he was the father of the triplets.â
âHowever, when I got into the accident, he conducted a DNA test using Robbieâs tissues. When he found out the truth, he did so many things for the children. I felt very touchedâ¦â
âI see,â Mrs. Berry replied, sighing in disappointment. âNo wonder our family keeps having all sorts of dealings with the Nacht family. For a period of time, I wondered if they were flies that wouldnât go away!
So the Nacht guy had arranged for all of this to happenâ¦â
âTruth be told, I had lots of worries in the past,â Charlotte said, smiling bitterly. âI even wanted to uproot the family from H City after you and Jamie recovered. We couldâve found a new place to leave.
However, so many things happenedâ¦perhaps this is meant to be.â
âWell, since both of you have already settled this matter, donât think too much about it anymore,â Mrs.
Berry said reassuringly. âThe children didnât like him much before, right? What about now?â
âTheyâve been getting along splendidly. Thereâs been a huge improvement, I believe.â Charlotte felt extremely happy whenever she thought about this. âI didnât think he would be so patient with the kids.
He put in a lot of effort to get close to them, you know.â
âThatâs good, then,â Mrs. Berry nodded approvingly. âLook how he set up a clinic for us at home. He even fetched me here from the hospital! I can tell heâs very caring towards you and the kids.â
âI overheard the medical staff talking about the clinic on my way here. Apparently, the medical equipment itself already costs more than one hundred million. Because they needed it to be ready-
made, they brought the equipment straight from the hospital. Dr. Langhan will get customized ones from abroad later onâ¦â
âHe didnât tell me about any of this at all,â Charlotte said, feeling guilty again. âHe must have told Ben to look for Olivia to keep me company here.â
âYou did well to find a man as thoughtful as him,â Mrs. Berry said, smiling. Here, her face clouded over again. âBut will his parents agree to your marriage? Clans like the Nacht family tend to have complicated rules.â
Here, Charlotte thought of Henry Nacht. She felt a little unsettled. Henry had disliked her from the moment he lay eyes on her, and he might not come to accept her in the future either.
âItâs alright, letâs take things one step at a time.â Mrs. Berry patted Charlotteâs hand cheerfully. âIâve been lying in the hospital for two months! My bones are completely frozen! Now that Iâm finally out, leave the kitchen to me. Iâll make all of you something nice to eat.â
Here, Mrs. Berry rolled up her sleeves and turned to leave the roomâ¦
Charlotte stopped her immediately. âMrs. Berry, you just got out of the hospital. You should be resting now.â
âMiss, you know me. I get all antsy and uncomfortable when I rest. I need to work if I want my energy back.â
âBesides, the kids like my cooking. I havenât made anything for them in such a long time! Please grant my wish today.â
âOh, alright then.â
