Back at home, Charlotte went to check on Ellie. She had taken her medication and was sound asleep.
Hayley was by her side, gently patting her back.
Snuggling in Hayley’s arms with her white alpaca, Ellie looked exceptionally cute.
After tucking both of them in, Charlotte thanked Hayley softly, “I appreciate it, Hayley.”
“Not at all. I adore Ellie,” Hayley replied with a smile. “You should get some sleep. I’ll take care of things here.”
After waving goodnight, Charlotte left the room quietly.
She had wanted to check on Robbie, but saw that the room light had been turned off. Worried that she would wake him, she returned to her room instead.
“It must be Mommy at the door just now. She must have thought that I was asleep and left because she didn’t want to wake me.”
Hiding underneath his blanket with a torchlight, Robbie was chatting with Jamie on a video call.
“Why didn’t you ask Mommy to come in? I want to see her.”
Jamie yawned as he spoke. Due to the time difference, it was five in the morning in H City. He had woken up early on purpose just to call Robbie.
“Mommy has many things to worry about. So, I don’t want to disturb her.” Robbie still felt bad about earlier.
“No matter what, Mommy cannot marry Sir Louis.” Being the brute that he was, Jamie didn’t think much of it. “Don’t worry, Mommy won’t be angry at you. She will be fine in a while.”
“However, I’m worried that Mommy won’t cancel the engagement because of this.” Frowning, Robbie elaborated, “In fact, she might even be scolded by Uncle Dan.”
“Huh? What do we do then?” Jamie was filled with anxiety.
“Let’s wait and see…” Not wanting Jamie to be worried, Robbie changed topics. “How’s Daddy?”
“Daddy has been feeling down over the last two days. However, he tries this best to cheer me up. Today, he even trained and played soccer with me.” Sprawled on his bed, Jamie cupped his chin. “Daddy and I are doing very well. I’m just worried about you and Ellie.”
“I feel really bad for causing Ellie to puke terribly today.” Robbie was filled with regret. “When I went to see her just now, she even reassured me by telling me not to worry.”
“She’s right. Dr. Felch will cure her,” Jamie comforted. “However, don’t give any more tablets the next time. If only I were there, I could eat them on her behalf. At most I’ll just have diarrhea, haha.”
Robbie was speechless.
While both brothers chatted, Zachary, who was about to knock, retracted his hand.
Initially, he wanted to join the chat to find out more about Charlotte’s situation. However, he had already overheard everything.
Ellie had taken a tablet that caused her to throw up and have stomach discomfort. Robbie was reprimanded for it while there was still no answer on the marriage. However, Louis and his family had stayed over.
Unfortunately, it seemed that they couldn’t escape destiny.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Zachary walked quietly away. He was frustrated at the fact that the children were sharing what was supposed to be his burden.
Then, he sent Robbie a message, asking him to call when he had time.
Before he knew it, Robbie was on the line. “Daddy!”
“Robbie…” After chatting briefly, he gently requested, “Both you and Ellie shouldn’t interfere with Mommy’s affairs anymore, all right?”
“Daddy, do you already know?” Robbie asked.
“Mmm-hmm.” Zachary chuckled wryly. “This was supposed to be my responsibility. But when you tried to handle it and even caused Ellie to fall sick, it makes me feel very bad.”
“Daddy, don’t think that way.”
“Be a good boy, Robbie. Next time, don’t meddle in the affairs of adults. Mommy is really smart. Whatever decision she makes would have gone through deep deliberation. As her children, you will need to respect her decision.
“I may not agree with her, but I have my own way to communicate and resolve it. This relates to a man’s pride and responsibility. So, promise me you’ll stay out of it, all right?”
