Chapter 898
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âThatâs right,â Charlotte said as she cast a thankful look at Robbie.
âGood to hear that.â Ellie cradled the parrot and gently stroked its feather. âIâll take good care of you, Little Fifi. I wonât let anything bad happen to you ever again.â
âEllie! Ellie!â the parrot squawked those words and rubbed its head against Ellieâs hand.
âAlright, kids. Itâs time for you to nap for a little while so that youâll have the energy to play later,â Charlotte cajoled her children. âWeâre going to a restaurant by the beach. Thereâs a small amusement park over there, and youâll get the chance to play in the sand as well.â
âYay! Thank you, Mommy,â Ellie cheered.
âBeach? Amusement park..?â Jamie thought for a while and analyzed. âCould it be the restaurant that Daddy used to take us to? Are we going to Seacrest Restaurant?â
âThatâs right. Weâre going to Seacrest Restaurant.â
Charlotte loved to dine at that restaurant. It was a restaurant made of clear glass walls and offered breathtaking views of the sandy beach. It was also charmingly decorated with potted plants and vines.
She bumped into Zachary the last time she dined at that restaurant with Louis.
Just as she thought of that, Charlotteâs phone rang, and it was a call from Louis. Speak of the devil.
âYes, Louis,â Charlotte answered the phone.
âCharlotte, has the press conference at South Sea been brought forward to the 12th?â Louis asked.
âYes,â Charlotte replied blandly.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â Louis sounded a little upset. âI just received the news. Iâll arrange for a private jet immediately, and Iâll fly over there soon.â
âThereâs no need for that,â Charlotte responded quickly. âYou donât have to come. This press conference has nothing to do with you. Itâs no big deal.â
âI promised you before that I would make an appearance,â Louis said. âAlright then, Iâm boarding soon. See you tomorrow!â
âSee you!â
After Charlotte hung up the call, she checked the messages on her phone. Only then did she realize that Danrique had made a killer move and it had caused a lot of problems for Nacht Group.
It seems like Zachary will be busy for the next few days, so he wonât be coming to take the children away from me.
After she placed her phone aside, she cajoled her children once again. âTry to get some sleep, children. The restaurant is about an hourâs drive away.â
âOkay, Mommy.â
Jamie and Ellie obediently went to sleep.
Without looking up from his iPad, Robbie said, âIâm still busy helping Daddy with the new products, Mommy.â
âWhy donât you leave it to Daddy to handle it?â She didnât want her son to tire himself out.
âItâs alright. Daddyâs busy with some other issues. Iâm just trying to help him.â
Robbie was still fixated on his iPad as his small hand continued to tap quickly on the screen.
At his insistence, she decided not to disturb him anymore. She offered him a glass of juice and sat by his side quietly to accompany him.
She was contented with her three children and two pets by her side.
She felt very much at ease, and she wished time would slow down for her to enjoy every minute with her children.
For the past few days, she had several flashbacks of her family of six living happily togetherâ¦
Her memories were coming back little by littleâ¦
âMs. Lindberg, look!â Lupine exclaimed as she pointed out of the window.
Charlotte turned around and saw a jeep that belonged to the Nacht family driving past them.
The rear window of the jeep had shattered, and it was apparent that the vehicle had been involved in a violent collision. As the jeep drove past them, Charlotte caught sight of Sharonâs face through the car window.
Sharon, who also noticed the car next to her, turned around to look at the car.
However, the Lindberg familyâs Rolls-Royce windows were wound up, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
She couldnât tell who was in the car, so she asked, âIs that Zacharyâs car?â
âNo.â The aide, who was in the passenger seat, glanced back and said, âIt belongs to the Lindberg family.â
Upon hearing that, all colors drained from Sharonâs face.
