Chapter 893
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âDanrique, the kids are too young to know better. Please donât hold it against them,â pleaded Charlotte softly.
Danrique smiled with his brow raised.
Just then, a black figure flew in from outdoors. Like a sharp arrow, it zipped over and landed right on Robbieâs head.
âAh!â
Jamie and Ellie hopped away from the sofa and crawled into Charlotteâs arms right away.
Little Fifi screamed fearfully and flapped its wings before hiding away in Robbieâs arm.
Robbieâs tiny face turned pale. He was scared out of his mind, but he wore a calm expression on his face.
The eagle flew and stood in front of Robbie. It flapped its wings as its sharp eyes locked in on Robbie.
It was a huge eagle with enormous wings, so a gust of wind would mess Robbieâs hair up every time it flapped its wings.
âRobbieâ¦â said Charlotte. She wanted to head over to protect her son, but Danriqueâs men prevented her from doing so.
Robbie mustered up his courage and glared back at the eagle before demanding, âGo away!â
Screech!
The eagle let out a nerve-wracking screech and circled above Robbieâs head a little before it flew away.
Danriqueâs eyes glowed with even more admiration when he looked at Robbie. He asked, âArenât you scared of the eagle?â
âWhatâs there to be afraid of?â challenged Robbie as he rolled his eyes at Danrique, then caressed the shivering parrot in his arms. Robbie pointed out, âThat eagle is just like the parrot and they are both Mommyâs pet.â
âGood, I like your style,â replied Danrique. He smiled, and to everyoneâs surprise, the icy aura in his eyes was slowly dissipating.
âIâll have the kids return to their rooms for now.â
Charlotte had the maids take the kids to the second floor right away.
Raina held a medical kit and had her head down as she followed along.
Danrique shot a look over, but he never commented on anything. He simply sipped his wine.
Everyone hurried to the second floor.
Raina sighed a long breath of relief after the door was closed. She felt like she was walking on thin ice the entire time.
âMr. Lindberg!â
Lupine, Morgan, and the others came over to report some matter.
It didnât take long before their agonized scream came. It only lasted a second before silence fell once more.
âWhat was that?â asked Jamie as he run over to open the door.
âJamie, itâs nothing!â answered Charlotte, who ran over immediately to stop him.
âUncle Dan is so scary, Mommy. Iâm scared of him. I want to go home,â requested Ellie as she curled up on the sofa and hugged her doll. She pouted her lips like she was going to cry.
âI want to go home too. I miss Daddy,â added Jamie, who was pouting as well.
Charlotte felt terrible as she stared at her kids. She wanted to spend more time with them, but they were already scared out of their minds, even though everything had just begunâ¦
âMommy, this is for you. Youâre its rightful owner,â announced Robbie before he got something from his pocket and handed it over to Charlotte.
Charlotte held that black gold ring with her. When she first regained consciousness, her heart stung and a bad feeling crept up on her every time she saw it. Unfortunately, she didnât feel right throwing it away, so she tied it to her eagle.
Who wouldâve thought that Robbie will stumble upon it and trace it back to me? This kid had it roughâ¦
âThank you, Robbie,â replied Charlotte before she put it on and promised, âI will treasure this from now on because you are the one who got it back for me.â
âMommy, I will protect you from now on,â promised Robbie softly as he hugged Charlotte.
âSilly boy,â teased Charlotte who smiled upon hearing that promise, âYouâre only six, so how will you protect me?
Besides, I am very powerful now, so no one can bully me.â
âBut Uncle Dan is so mean. Will he hurt you?â asked Ellie as she pouted her lips and frowned.
âHe wonât. I wonât be here if it werenât for him. Two years ago, I got into an accident, and he rescued me. He is the only reason I am here now,â answered Charlotte firmly.
âI see. No wonder you disappeared all of a sudden. We cried for so long back then,â shared Jamie as the revelation hit him.
âMommy, where is Mrs. Berry?â asked Robbie. He had been keeping that question to himself, but he could no longer suppress his curiosity.
