“Louis!” called Robert. Louis quickly released Charlotte and said reluctantly, “I have to leave now, Charlotte. I’ll visit you later!”
“Okay, go on.” Charlotte smiled.
When Louis rushed to catch up with Robert, he could not help but turn around and wave goodbye to Charlotte. There was an unconcealable look of joy on his face and in his gaze.
Charlotte watched them leave. Only after they had disappeared from her sight that she averted her gaze, looked downward, and heaved a deep sigh…
When she was still undecided, she felt a heavy burden in her heart.
However, now that she had made her decision, she did not feel relieved at all. Instead, she felt like she was heading on an unknown path…
Regardless of anything, it’s a good thing to help Danrique solve his problems, right?
With that thought, Charlotte smiled bitterly.
When Louis got into the car, he still kept turning around to stare at Charlotte for a long time.
“Stop looking!” Noticing how obsessed his son was, Robert felt displeased. “You can look at her all you want after marrying her.”
“You’re right.” Thinking that he could marry Charlotte soon, Louis was filled with excitement. “I’m so happy, Dad!”
“Don’t rejoice too soon.” Robert stared at him coldly. “Even a six-year-old child is smarter than you.”
“Are you talking about Robbie?” Louis asked with a smile. “He’s very smart. No, in fact, he’s a genius! Not only has he inherited his father and great-grandfather’s business acumen, but he is also skilled in technological research. He was involved in developing many of Divine Corporation’s technological products. Apparently, he has some patents for his inventions too. Just by himself, he earns hundreds of millions every year!”
“That’s impressive! The Nacht family should keep him as their heir instead. Why were they willing to let him go?” Robert frowned as a complex look flashed across his eyes.
He continued, “Danrique doesn’t have a child. Does he want to keep that child and let him inherit the Lindberg Corporation? Wait, but if he does that, won’t the Lindberg Corporation be part of the Nacht family, then? Danrique will never do that.”
“Daddy, why are you saying that?” Louis was confused. “What does that have to do with us?”
“You know nothing!” growled Robert. “If we bring that child into the royal family, who knows what trouble he’ll cause? Also, do you think that Zachary will just give up like this? He might confront us to get his son back. If that happens, the royal family will be utterly humiliated.”
“H-How…?”
“Forget it. You won’t understand even if I explain it to you.” Robert could not be bothered to continue talking to him. “I’ll deal with this.”
“What do you mean?” Louis reminded him anxiously, “Dad, Charlotte cares a lot about her family. When her maid got killed by Zara, she became enemies with the Nacht family. If you plan on scheming against Robbie, we…”
“What are you thinking about?” Robert interrupted him, “How can I possibly harm that child? I just want to find out what Danrique’s plans are. If he doesn’t mind where the child goes, it’s better to let Zachary reclaim him. This is good for both you and the Lindberg family.”
“But Charlotte will be sad if her child isn’t by her side.” Louis still felt worried.
“Then, she can keep the girl.” Robert had thought it through. “The girl looks harmless and innocent. She won’t pose a threat in the future.”
“Ellie is very adorable, but we should still respect Charlotte’s opinions…”
“That’s it. I’ll settle it on my own, so you don’t need to bother yourself with it anymore,” interrupted Robert. “Don’t worry. It’s a great thing for our family to be in-laws with the Lindberg family. Furthermore, since you like Charlotte so much, how can I ruin this marriage? I’m just taking precautionary measures to eliminate any future problems for you…”
