Charlotte finally cooed Robbie and Ellie, so she shifted her attention to the three toddlers. She said, “Kids, how about I take you to F Nation to play for a while?”
“Huh? F Nation? Where is that?”
Alpha’s big, round eyes shone with curiosity as she stared at Charlotte. Her long eyelashes fluttered and made her look extremely adorable.
“F Nation is a stunning country with beautiful castles and princesses in carriages. There’s even an amazing garden,” informed Charlotte sweetly.
“Wow, that sounds incredible!” replied Alpha. Her eyes shone with anticipation as she spoke.
“Will Daddy be going with us?” asked Beta, who thought of something important.
“He won’t be heading over. I’ll be the one taking you there,” replied Charlotte as she stroked the kid’s head.
“Then… does Daddy know we’re going?” asked Beta as she tilted her tiny head, “Did he ask you to take us there?”
“Yes.”
“But he never told us about it,” complained Gamma as she pouted. She looked sad when she added, “Mommy told us that she’s sending us to Daddy because he will take care of us. Now, Daddy is abandoning us to you…”
“That is not it. Your daddy is just a little busy, so he asked me to babysit you. He will come to get you once he’s done working,” explained Charlotte patiently.
“Really?” asked all three kids with stunning and alert eyes. They seemed pitiful when they stared at Charlotte.
“Yes, of course,” promised Charlotte as she crouched down and hugged all three kids, “I will take care of you and protect you.”
Hearing those words stirred the three kids’ hearts. They extended their chubby arms and hugged Charlotte before they sobbed.
Charlotte stroked their backs softly before she gestured Sean, who was standing right outside, to inform him that everything was okay.
Mission accomplished.
After settling the kids, Charlotte went to talk to Dr. Felch. She thought that she would need to spend some effort to convince him.
To her surprise, Dr. Felch took the initiative to ask, “We’re heading to F Nation, right? Lupine told me all about it. Have Hayley and Sam finished packing? When will we be leaving?”
“I am so sorry for making you run around with me,” apologized Charlotte, who felt guilty. “You were leading a happy, retired life in Phoenix City, but I insisted that you go to H City. Everything was fine there, and still, I got you to Erihal. Now, I…”
“That’s pretty amazing too, right? I get to travel around the world without spending a penny,” replied Dr. Felch with a smile, “It’s quite amazing that I get to visit all these places before I get too old to move about.”
“We can also learn and experience more by traveling,” added Hayley with a cute grin on.
“That’s true. I’ve never been to F Nation before, so it’s great that I can visit the place now,” chimed in Sam.
“Thank you. Thank you so much,” replied Charlotte appreciatively.
“We’re a family, so there is no need for that.”
The entire convoy drove to the airport soon after.
The Rolls-Royce was in the middle of the convoy, and the three toddlers were surrounding Robbie and Ellie. The toddlers wanted to play with them.
Ellie liked the toddlers, so she got together with them quickly.
Robbie, however, was downright annoyed. Ellie used to be the only girl there, so he could handle the noise she made. With three extra girls suddenly popping up like that, he felt like he was going crazy.
Just then, the eagle started flapping its wings at the window. Charlotte worried that it would startle the toddlers, so she planned on chasing it away.
To her surprise, all three were not afraid of it. They even whistled at it and exclaimed excitedly, “Aunt Charlotte, quick. Open the window and let it in.”
“Huh? Aren’t you girls afraid of it?” asked Charlotte as her eyes bulged.
“Not at all,” claimed the kids before they rolled down the window right away.
“No, girls…”
Charlotte was about to stop them when the eagle flapped its wings and flew in.
