Chapter 1281 A New Home
Morgan bought a couple of cars, and they were ready-made cars that were only worth a couple hundred thousand.
Charlotte thanked Bruce before he left with his subordinates.
Lupine had a few of her subordinates babysit the triplets and take care of their meals. Everyone else started working on fixing the courtyard.
The furniture and appliances in the villa were all in good shape. The place was simpler and smaller than the one they used to live in, but the pleasant memories Charlotte made there created a sense of warmth.
Charlotte changed out of her expensive outfit and put on some comfortable clothes. After that, she started working on the fountain and the flowers in the courtyard.
The kids were chasing each other and playing at the side while Morgan was busy setting everything up. Lupine, Jade, and the others hung out with Charlotte.
That was a heartwarming moment.
When the night fell, the kids became weary, so the bodyguards put the kids to bed.
Charlotte got the goldfishes that Morgan had just bought and released them in the fountain that was recently fixed. A pleasant grin crept up on Charlotte’s lips when she saw how the goldfishes were swimming happily in there. She had Morgan turn the lights brighter and continued working on the flowerbeds after that.
“It’s late, so let’s work on this tomorrow. I’m sure you’re tired,” advised Lupine in a concerned tone.
“I can’t sleep anyway, so working on something actually helps.”
Charlotte wiped the sweat off of her forehead before she continued weeding the flower bed.
“Let me help you,” offered Lupine. She had crouched down and was ready to help.
“No, there’s no need for that,” halted Charlotte right away, “These flowers are really sensitive. The slightest mishap would cause them to wither.”
“I’m heartbroken seeing how you’re busying away all on your own,” said Lupine as she helped Charlotte wipe her sweat away.
“I’m not working. It’s relaxing for me,” said Charlotte as she dug into the earth, “Please get in touch with Hayley and ask her where Dr. Felch is. If he’s still in H City, we’ll visit them in a few days.”
“Okay, I’ll do that right away,” replied Lupine. She went to call Hayley immediately after.
“Ms. Lindberg…” said Morgan. She seemed a little hesitant to finish her sentence, though.
“We have enough people working in the courtyard, so you are free to leave. You’re not allowed to stay out overnight, though. Be back before one o’clock in the morning,” informed Charlotte, who knew what Morgan was thinking.
“Understood. Thank you, Ms. Lindberg,” said Morgan who was surprised and delighted.
Marino never left after he accompanied her over to buy the cars. He had been waiting at the side of the road the entire time.
Morgan didn’t feel right asking for some time off, but Charlotte had already guessed what was going on. The latter even took the initiative to give the former permission to leave.
“Go on now,” said Charlotte. She tilted her head up and scanned Morgan before suggesting, “And go change into a beautiful outfit.”
“Hah, I’m already beautiful enough as I am,” said Morgan.
She hopped away happily and was instinctively faster as she moved. She even hummed a song as she did so.
Tsk! Tsk! Lupine had exited the house and saw Morgan skipping away. The former couldn’t help teasing, “Geez, I don’t remember her ever being so fast in a fight.”
“That’s how women are when they’re in love.”
Charlotte grinned. She saw how happy Morgan and Marino were together, and that got her delighted.
“I envy them so much,” sighed Lupine.
“Ben is comparatively more grounded and tends to think things through more carefully. That is why he isn’t as passionate or as direct as Marino, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any feelings for you.”
Charlotte could tell that Lupine was disappointed, so she added, “I can tell that he really cares about you.”
“Oh, stop making fun of me,” replied Lupine shyly.
“Once everything is settled, I will set you both free. Both of you have worked for the Lindberg family for years, and it’s time you live a life of your choosing,” shared Charlotte, who had long planned to set the girls free.
“Ms. Lindberg,” blurted Lupine who instantly got nervous, “I won’t leave. I’ll stay by your side.”
“I won’t let you both leave right now,” said Charlotte while rolling her eyes, “The two of you are my best and most skilled assistants. Hence, I would be lost if you leave now. I was talking about the future.”
“I won’t leave in the future, either. I will follow you wherever you go and will never leave you in this lifetime,” promised Lupine as her eyes reddened with tears.
“You idiot…” replied Charlotte who was touched by the gesture. She had been lost for some time. Thank the heaven that I have them with me…
