“Well, it’s the same thing.” Zachary wasn’t ashamed of claiming the credit.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was rendered speechless. He is so shameless.
However, given that the children were there, she chose not to argue with him.
“Good morning, Ms. Windt.” Mrs. Rawlston greeted while serving breakfast.
“Mrs. Rawlston? Why are you here?” Charlotte was shocked.
“I asked Mrs. Rawlston to be here, “Zachary explained, “I took a look at the kitchen this morning and thought we could only prepare continental breakfast with the ingredients. Since the kids might not like it, I asked Mrs. Rawlston to bring more ingredients and a few helpers.”
“Well, all the food I made today is Ms. Windt and the kids’ favorite,” Mrs. Rawlston chimed in delightedly, “Please start having breakfast. I’ll serve Belgian waffles later.”
“Sure. Thank you very much.” After nodding at Mrs. Rawlson smilingly, Charlotte gazed at Lupine coldly and asked, “What is going on?”
“I wanted to inform you about it. However, Mr. Nacht told me not to disturb you because you were exhausted last night,” Lupine explained with reddened cheeks.
The word “exhausted” could paint a whole picture.
Moreover, Zachary mentioned the word specifically when he instructed Lupine.
“You!”
Gritting her teeth, Charlotte wished to punch Zachary on the spot. However, she suppressed her emotions because her children and Dr. Felch were present.
Instead, she only warned Lupine coldly, “It’s okay. Mrs. Rawlston is one of us. Nonetheless, you must report everything to me in the future! Remember that you’re in the Lindberg residence and not the Nacht residence!”
“Understood. It was my mistake,” Lupine lowered her head and apologized.
“Mommy, I gave Lupine the permission to let Mrs. Rawlston in,” Robbie explained, “I woke up early today and went downstairs once I heard Mrs. Rawlston’s voice. Lupine initially wanted to inform you about it, but I let Mrs. Rawlston in right away. At that time, I thought it wasn’t appropriate to let Mrs. Rawlston wait outside for too long.”
After hearing Robbie’s explanation, Charlotte knew that Lupine didn’t fail her duty.
“I understand. Robbie, you did the right thing,” Charlotte caressed Robbie’s head and replied, “besides, you guys always love the food prepared by Mrs. Rawlston.”
“Thank you, Mommy.” Robbie heaved a sigh of relief, for he was worried that Charlotte would be upset just now.
“Alright, let’s have breakfast.” With that, Charlotte asked everyone to sit down and enjoy the food. Then, she served up a bowl of vegetable beef soup for Dr. Felch and said, “Dr. Felch, please try the oatmeal. Mrs. Rawlston learned to make it from Mrs. Berry.”
“Now I know why the soup smells so familiar,” recalling the early days when Mrs. Berry was on the hill, Dr. Felch sighed. “Back then, Mrs. Berry would cook for us every day, and we always looked forward to her dishes.”
“Yes, I remember that you kept complimenting Mrs. Berry when you tried the food made by her for the first time,” Charlotte added with a grin on her face.
“Haha…” Dr. Felch laughed and said, “I used to eat simple food all the time, yet my mindset upended after I tried Mrs. Berry’s food!”
“Mrs. Berry is indeed a good cook. Unfortunately…” Charlotte couldn’t help but feel sad upon recalling Mrs. Berry.
“Mommy, the soup was made by Daddy,” Jamie whispered.
“Ah?” Charlotte glanced at Zachary shockingly. “Is that true?”
“Yes.” Robbie nodded and explained, “After you had left, the three of us always cried and refused to eat. Daddy learned to make this soup from Mrs. Rawlston and told us that it’s Mommy’s favorite food. Because of that, we felt happier and eventually had the appetite to eat.”
“You’re right. By the way, Daddy sucked at it in the beginning but eventually improved a lot,” Jamie added, “So, the oatmeal he made tastes the same as Mrs. Berry’s now.”
“I agree,” Ellie chimed in with a grin, “Whenever I was sick and didn’t want to eat, Daddy would make this soup for me.”
“He is a good daddy! We all love him!” Jamie raised his hand excitedly.
“I love Daddy, but I also love Mommy!”
“Well, we love them both…”
