“Lady Sherlyn, I’m glad that you like it.” Charlotte heaved a silent sigh of relief.
Danrique had prepared everything for her before she set off for F Nation earlier, including this unique gift for Louis’ parents. Thus, she did not need to rack her brains on what to buy for them.
Only then did she realize that Danrique had prepared such a priceless gift for her. The chances of getting such a big luminous pearl were very slim nowadays.
She knew that Danrique was protective of her and wanted to ensure that nobody would look down on her regardless of where she was. As a member of a prominent family, he wished that the others would look highly upon her all the time.
“I like it so much, Charlotte!” Sherlyn felt a prickle of joy and embraced Charlotte. She was mesmerized by the luminous pearl and could barely put it down.
“Lady Sherlyn, you are welcome,” Charlotte replied with a smile.
“Mommy, how I envy you! Charlotte has never given me any gifts!” Louis teased Sherlyn, pretending to be green with envy.
“Mischievous brat, how dare you pull my leg.” Sherlyn laughed heartily at Louis’ words. She held Charlotte’s hand and led her toward the living room. “Charlotte, let’s take a seat and have a chat.”
“Sure.” Charlotte nodded and took a seat.
“I have also brought some gifts for the kids, and I planned to give them to the kids when I meet them tomorrow morning. Ah! I have gifts for both of them as well.” Sherlyn smiled and gestured to Diana.
Diana immediately handed two gifts to Lupine and Morgan respectively.
“We have gifts too?” Morgan was stunned.
“I have heard about both of you long ago. You are not only Charlotte’s trusted aides but also deemed her family. I’m glad that you will be joining our big family with Charlotte and looking forward to it!” Sherlyn uttered excitedly.
Both Lupine and Morgan turned to look at Charlotte. After Charlotte nodded at them approvingly, they thanked Sherlyn politely, “Lady Sherlyn, thank you.”
“You are welcome. We are all a family, so you don’t have to be so formal with me. It’s just a small gift from me.” Sherlyn smiled again.
“Have a look to see if you like it.” Regardless of his family background, Louis was down to earth and treated both of them rather well.
“Yes, we like the gift very much. Lady Sherlyn, thank you,” Lupine and Morgan replied courteously.
Sherlyn seemed to have a lot to share with Charlotte. As she was chattering enthusiastically, Charlotte listened to her attentively and responded courteously at times.
Louis could not chime in at all, but he was more than willing to help pour them coffee and serve them desserts from time to time.
After about half an hour, Sherlyn yawned as she was overcome by sleepiness. She held Charlotte’s hand and said, “Charlotte, it’s quite late now. Let’s continue again tomorrow.”
Charlotte stood up right away. “All right, Lady Sherlyn. Let me accompany you to your room.”
Sherlyn waved and shook her head. “It’s all right. Diana can accompany me. Both you and Louis should go to bed earlier. I can’t wait for both of you to bear me a grandchild.”
Hearing that, Charlotte was dumbfounded and looked down in embarrassment.
In an instant, Louis’ face flushed, and his ears turned red.
“Haha! Look at you! I can’t believe that you are blushed crimson! Both of you are adults. What is there to be shy of?” Sherlyn patted Louis on the shoulder and teased them.
“Mom, just drop the subject already.” Louis changed the topic swiftly. “Let me accompany you upstairs.”
“Ah! Could it be both of you haven’t…” Sherlyn blurted out the words when something struck her.
“Mom!” Louis cut her off in embarrassment.
Sherlyn smiled again and appeased him. “It’s all right. I’m too impatient. Since both of you are getting married soon, I thought…”
Charlotte smiled awkwardly with her head remaining low, and her lips not uttering any words.
“It’s all right. Don’t be stressed. After all, Good things come to those who wait.” Sherlyn gave Louis a subtle glance and patted Charlotte’s hand. “Charlotte, it’s all right. I’m not urging you. Just take your time.”
She then smiled and stepped out of the room.
“Charlotte, I never expected that my mom would be so straightforward. I hope you don’t mind,” Louis apologized sheepishly.
“No issue. Just go ahead to accompany her,” Charlotte reminded him gently.
“Okay.” Louis nodded and made a beeline for Sherlyn.
All the other subordinates left after him as well. After all of them stepped out, the smile on Charlotte’s face faded gradually.
“Pfft! I finally have a clue about Lady Sherlyn’s main intention to be here. She’s worried that your marriage with Sir Louis will be just in name and tends to do something to turn it into a reality!” Morgan scoffed right away.
