Chapter 1415 A Showdown
Zachary felt nothing but bliss at that moment. Like the average married couple, Charlotte was taking care of Zachary meticulously. As they reminisced about their good times together, it made them anticipate the better days ahead.
Zachary felt peaceful and hoped that they could remain this happy forever. It was then Charlotte asked while staring at him in the eyes, “Zachary, will you marry me again?”
“H-Huh?” Zachary thought that the question was part of his imagination.
“Forget about it.” Charlotte rolled her eyes and thought it was about time to leave since she was done feeding him.
The moment she got up from her seat, Zachary grasped her hand and asked, “W-What did you say?”
“Will—”
When she was about to repeat herself, a maid knocked on the door and announced, “Mr. Nacht, Ms. Gold is here to visit you.”
Charlotte’s expression darkened the moment she heard the maid. She turned around to look at Zachary.
Looking in the direction of the entrance, Zachary was about to say something when Charlotte announced ahead of him, “Let her in!”
“Yes!” Seeing as Zachary was silent, the maid then returned to the foyer.
After the maid left, Zachary repeated his question, “What did you say?”
Unwilling to carry on with the conversation, Charlotte replied in a callous tone, “It’s nothing. I’ll excuse myself since you have a guest.”
He thought of stopping her, but she had made it to the entrance of the room.
Coincidentally, the maid had returned with Nancy. The duo exchanged glances when they encountered one another at the entrance.
Nancy made a face as soon as she caught a glimpse of Charlotte and the cart next to her. In spite of her effort to keep her thoughts to herself, her repugnance was written all over her face.
The maid greeted Charlotte before showing Nancy the way to Zachary’s room.
Irritated, Charlotte changed her mind and thought of joining them in the room. Shortly after she handed the cart to the maid outside of the room, she returned to join the duo in the room.
“Mr. Nacht, I’m glad you’re finally awake. How are you feeling? Are you still having a fever?” Nancy expressed her concerns over his condition.
Zachary inched away from her when she tried placing her hand on his forehead.
At that time, Charlotte remarked sarcastically, “Thank you so much for your concerns over the father of my children, Ms. Gold. The doctor you sent to check on him has been of great help.”
Nancy turned around and asked with her brows arched, “Ms. Lindberg? Didn’t you leave already?”
“What do you mean? Where else am I supposed to go when my children stay here? Please get a glass of water for our guest,” Charlotte instructed the maid as if she was a household member seconds after she answered Nancy’s query.
“Yes, Ms. Lindberg.”
When the maid was about to leave, Nancy remarked, “Why don’t you stop causing the servants trouble when you’re also just another guest of the family?”
Nancy’s remark was meant to warn Charlotte to stay away from Zachary since she was no longer affiliated with the Nacht family.
Smirking, Charlotte answered, “I’m afraid I can’t because my children are household members of the family. Hence, it’s not too much to consider myself a member of the family.”
“Ha! I’m afraid you’re going to have to leave us alone because there’s something I wish to discuss with Mr. Nacht in private.”
“Am I supposed to leave?” Charlotte ignored Nancy and looked at Zachary to ascertain if he agreed to the latter.
Meanwhile, Zachary, who had remained silent throughout the conversation, thought Charlotte seemed to have changed her mind. She wouldn’t pick on Nancy unless she had a thing for him.
What made her change so fast? Not only did she disclose the matters between Louis and her, but she is also confronting Nancy now. Has she found out about my actual condition?
Colors drained from Zachary’s face when he considered the possibilities of Charlotte’s drastic change of attitude.
