Chapter 1706 Difficult
They slept in each other’s embrace that night. Even though Zachary couldn’t do anything because of his injury, they were content that they could sleep in each other’s arms.
The kids woke up early next morning, and like the kids they were, they switched the chaos mode on. Hanna kept telling them, “Be quiet, children. You don’t want to wake your parents up this early.”
Jamie and Ellie quickly covered their mouth and tiptoed downstairs. “I think we should see Robbie. He didn’t come back last night. Did he sleep in the clinic?”
“He did, yes.”
Jamie and Robbie went down to see Robbie. When they came to his ward, he was already awake and washing himself up.
The kids went and had their breakfast, then they talked about having a walk in the park. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and the days were once again peaceful.
Hanna looked at them lovingly and wiped a tear off the corner of her eye. “It’s so nice to see all of you safe and sound.”
“Yes. We’ve made it through the ordeal, and now everyone’s reunited.”
Morgan was happy about it as well, and she woke up early to help take care of the kids. It was quieter after the girls were gone, but since Robbie and Jamie were back, the family had united again.
“Morning, Hubby.” Charlotte stretched her arms and hugged Zachary tightly, taking in his scent.
“Morning.” Zachary held Charlotte’s hand, and he kissed her gently.
She moved around in his arms, and it lit a fire within him. He whispered silently, “I want to get some action. What should I do?”
Charlotte giggled. “Then, you’ll have to wait. You can’t move, as you’re hurt.”
“I can’t move, but you can.” Zachary put Charlotte on him. “Now be a dear and give me some, will you?”
“I don’t know how to do this.” Charlotte was red with embarrassment.
“I’ll teach you then.”
The fire was lit, and it spread through the sheets quickly. The bed started rocking back and forth like a boat on the sea.
Morgan chased away all the maids, making sure nobody was around. “You don’t have to do anything here. Leave this place. Do not disturb Mr. Nacht and Ms. Lindberg. Let them sleep in.”
“Yes, madam.”
Everyone went downstairs as per Morgan’s orders. Morgan and Lupine looked at each other, then the former went downstairs to play with the kids, while Lupine stayed back. Alright. We’re getting a happy ending now. She was happy about how things were turning out.
She was worried that Zachary’s treatment would be affected if Francesca were to return to Erihal, but Gordon told her that the talk went well, and they had already arranged another session later in the night.
Lupine heaved a sigh of relief. If the Nachts and Lindbergs can settle their matters, then Morgan and I can settle our stuff too.
She was immersed in her thoughts, but then her underling came over and broke her train of thoughts. “A man called Peter wishes to see Ms. Lindberg.”
“Peter?” Lupine paused for a moment. “I’ll take a look.”
Lupine went out to see if it was Peter, and there he was. Since he couldn’t get through to Charlotte, he came straight to her house, as there was an emergency needing her attention.
Lupine invited him into the house and treated him as a guest. She served him breakfast and told him to wait for a minute.
Zachary and Charlotte came down at around nine, and they were surprised to see Peter. Peter too was dumbfounded when he saw Zachary. “What is this?”
“Why? Cat got your tongue?” Zachary arched his eyebrow.
“This is the real Mr. Nacht.” Charlotte smiled at Peter. “The one with me last time was Chris. I told you about it.”
“That you did.” Peter nodded. “They just look too alike, so I got confused.”
“Do you need anything from me?” Charlotte asked quickly.
“Well…” Peter looked like he had something to say, but it was private.
