Cognizant that Danrique was upset, Robert changed his tact. “Danrique, don’t misunderstand. I did not intend to threaten at all. I just want to convey that Donald’s daughter likes Louis very much and has pursued him for years.
Of course, Louis doesn’t like her and we don’t intend to collaborate with Donald. There’s no way I would consider his proposal as he is nothing compared to you. It’s just that I am desperate for an answer from Charlotte and hope that she doesn’t continue to string us along.”
“You have a point.” Danrique frowned at Charlotte. “Regardless of whether you agree or not, you owe them an answer. So stop dragging your feet!”
“I…” Just when Charlotte was about to reply, an anxious knock was heard on the door.
As the servant by the door opened it, Lupine’s voice rang out. “Ms. Lindberg, we have a problem. Ms. Elisa has thrown up again.”
“What?” Turning pale, Charlotte dashed out.
“Charlotte, calm down. I brought a doctor with me.” Louis followed her out.
“It seems we won’t be getting an answer tonight,” Danrique remarked cordially. “Sir Robert, you must be tired from your long journey. Why don’t you retire to the guest room first? In the meantime, I’ll make sure Charlotte gives you an answer within three days.”
“All right then.” Robert frowned. Despite the displeasure in his eyes, he didn’t dare complain.
“Take Sir Robert to his room.”
“Yes.”
By the time Charlotte rushed out, she saw Ellie lying on the sofa. She was puking into the garbage can non-stop while her face had lost all color.
Robbie was beside her, patting her back to comfort her.
At the same time, a few female subordinates were standing by the side, not knowing what to do.
“Ellie!” Charlotte quickly picked her up. “What’s going on? Weren’t you doing fine a while ago?”
“Perhaps she is suffering from jet lag and isn’t used to the place yet,” Louis comforted. “Don’t worry, I’ll get my doctor to give her a check-up immediately.”
“It’s fine. I brought Dr. Felch with me.” Charlotte picked up Ellie and headed out at once. “Let’s go back and see Dr. Felch.”
“Right away.” Lupine arranged for their ride at once.
Just as they hurriedly left, Louis was about to follow until Robert called out to him, “Stop!”
“Dad, Charlotte is…”
“Do you know why Charlotte doesn’t like you?” Robert admonished. “It’s because you behave too submissively as if you’re a sycophant.”
“How can you say that?” Pouting, Louis was upset. “Since when being sincere is seen as being sycophantic?”
“Shut up.” Robert had lost all hope in him. “Now go back upstairs.”
Louis had no choice but to comply with his head lowered.
At that moment, Danrique came out from the study and instructed his servants to take Louis to the guest room. Without any delay, he too walked out.
After placing Ellie in the car, Charlotte turned around and said, “Danrique, I’m taking the children back first.”
“All right, take care,” Danrique replied before shifting his attention towards Robbie.
Robbie lowered his gaze and remained calm.
After Lupine helped him into the car, he casually glanced at Danrique and even took his leave cordially. “Bye, Uncle Dan.”
Danrique nodded slightly in acknowledgment. After that, a devilish smile emerged on his face.
“Mr. Lindberg, do we need to send a doctor over?” Sean asked with his brows furrowed.
“There’s no such need,” Danrique plainly replied. “Didn’t you notice how calm the child was?”
“Huh?” Sean was stunned before it dawned upon him. “Are you saying the kids…”
“He is really crafty at such a young age.” Danrique returned to the house. “That child holds great potential.”
Meanwhile, Charlotte hurried into the car and led her entourage back to her castle. Hayley and Sam were already waiting at the door. Dr. Felch was afraid of the cold, so he was already inside the castle’s clinic.
“Hurry.” Charlotte ran into the clinic with Ellie in her arms.
After giving her a check-up, Dr. Felch asked, “What did she eat during dinner?”
“Probably steak, cheese, fruits, cake…”
