Chapter 896
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Danrique frowned and a cold glint appeared in his amber pupils.
âShut up!â Charlotte roared and shot both women a glare.
Both of them lowered their heads and said no more.
âDonât be angry, Danriqueâ¦â Not wanting to infuriate him, she changed her tactics. âWeâll talk about the children a little later. Iâll send them back to the Nachtsâ residence firstâ¦â
âThe children are cute,â Danrique interrupted her. âI didnât say I wonât accept them.â
Charlotte was completely taken aback, and when she snapped back to her senses, she asked delightedly, âAre you saying that you are willing to accept the children?â
âThey do look like meâ¦â Danrique said as he picked up an ivory chess piece. âItâs quiet in the Lindberg residence, so having the children here will make this place livelier.â
âDo you really think so, Danrique?â Charlotte asked as she couldnât hold back her excitement.
âYes.â Danrique gave her a smirk. âGo ahead and spend time with the kids.â
âThank you, Danrique!â Charlotte was ecstatic. At first, she was in constant trepidation because she thought Danrique would not accept those three children. She did not expect him to accept them so quicklyâ¦
He probably compromised so that he could get her to stay.
Or perhaps, the childrenâs striking resemblance to him moved him.
However, Charlotte was happy as long as the children could stay at the Lindberg residence.
She couldnât wait to tell the children the good news, but when she reached the door, she heard Ellie asking Raina, âWhen can we go home, Dr. Langhan? I miss my Daddy.â
âI want to go home tooâ¦â Jamie asked, and he seemed a little down. âI also want Mommy to come with us.â
âThatâs right. Letâs bring Mommy home with us.â Ellie nodded eagerly. âDr. Langhan, can you call Daddy to come and pick us up?â
âI want to, butâ¦â Raina did not dare to say another word, and then she looked up at the door.
Charlotte pushed the door open and entered before she comforted the children. âMy dear children, you need to have a good rest as you are all sick. Weâll talk about this again when you feel better, okay?â
âI feel a lot better, Mommy.â Ellie immediately sat up and pretended to be strong and energetic. She even jumped on the bed a few times. âSee? Iâm full of energy now.â
âMe too. I can box now.â
Jamie immediately got up and threw a few punches in the air to show Charlotte.
Charlotte gazed lovingly at her children, but she could not bring herself to feel happy. She felt a twinge of sorrow as her own children seemed distant from her.
Theyâve only been here for a day, and now theyâre clamoring to go back to the Nacht residence.
âAlright. Thatâs enough,â Robbie finally spoke. He frowned and said with a stern face, âAll of you have been saying every day that you wanted to see Mommy. And now that you are here, you guys are fussing to go back there. Canât you all be a little more sensible?â
Robbie knew his own mother very well. He could tell that Charlotte was sad and disappointed to see her children wanting to go back there, but she couldnât show it on her face.
Jamie and Ellie were startled at being chided by their older brother before they pouted and quietly lay back in bed.
âItâs okay. Theyâre just not used to being here. Thatâs completely normal,â Charlotte quickly reassured her children.
âAfter all, you guys just arrived, so youâll need some time to adjust.â
She pondered for a moment before saying, âHow about this? Iâll take you all out for dinner. Since last night, the three of you have had nothing but vegetable broth, so you must be starving. What would you like to eat? Iâll arrange it right away.â
âI want something spicyâ¦â
âI want barbecue.â
âAlright. Coming right up,â Charlotte nodded with a smile. âHow about you, Robbie?â
âI donât feel like eating,â Robbie said gloomily. âIâll eat whatever they have, as long as they are happy.â
âIâll get the restaurant to prepare the food now. You can add on later if you fancy anything else,â Charlotte stroked his head and left immediately to arrange for the food.
