“If that’s the case, we…”
“Just go ahead and return to Daddy’s place.” Robbie stopped his siblings from finishing their sentence as he was afraid his siblings would change their minds due to the sentimental session.
Truth be told, he had his fair share of doubts against their so-called uncle. Thus, he had always wanted to send them back to their father’s side to ensure their safety.
“I-I’m unwilling to leave Mommy alone!” Ellie started weeping as emotions came flooding out once again.
In an attempt to console her daughter, Charlotte kissed the little girl on the cheek. “We’re merely a short distance away from one another. If you miss me, just drop by and pay me a visit whenever you’re free.”
When Jamie recalled their mission to bring Charlotte home, he suggested, “Mommy, if you miss us, you can always drop by and pay us a visit as well!”
“Sure!” Charlotte promised her younger son and responded with a satisfied beam.
The little girl showed Charlotte her pinkie and suggested, “If that’s the case, let’s make it a deal with a pinkie promise!”
Charlotte played along with her daughter and urged, “I want all of you to save my contact number in your smartwatch and get in touch with me if there’s anything you need.”
“Okay, Mommy!”
Robbie handed over Little Fifi to his sister and reminded her, “Take Little Fifi with you! If there’s anything you need from us, just send it to deliver the message on your behalf!”
“Alright, Robbie!”
In the end, Jamie and Ellie marched out of the restaurant with those around Ben and made their way back home.
Similarly, Raina returned along with the rest of the medical staff.
Prior to their departure, Ben assured Charlotte, “Ms. Lindberg, I’ll ensure the safety of Mr. Jamison and Ms. Elisa at all costs. Mr. Nacht has mentioned you’re free to go home if you wish to see the children.”
Ben did a great job rephrasing his sentence and successfully played to Charlotte’s emotions. She even thought she might have a great time with the man and her children there.
As much as she was overwhelmed by the sentimental moments, she put on a strong front and urged, “Alright, just get going already.”
Ben bowed and wrapped up the conversation with Charlotte before walking in the direction of Jamie and Ellie.
Holding Little Fifi in their arms, Jamie and Ellie wound down the window and yelled, “Mommy, Robbie, goodbye!”
Charlotte held Robbie in her arms and waved at them.
In spite of feeling overwhelmed because of her children’s departure, Charlotte was glad Robbie was around to keep her company. With that being said, she felt a sense of guilt and asked, “Robbie, are you going to feel lonely without your siblings?”
“Nah, I prefer spending my time alone since I need a quiet environment to do some reading and carry on with my research.”
His mother leaned over and assured him in a gentle tone, “If you’re feeling lonely, just tell me! We’ll bring Jamie and Ellie out with us and do something fun!”
“Alright, Mommy! I guess it’s time to go home!”
Shortly after Charlotte brought Robbie into the silver Rolls-Royce at the entrance, the car accelerated in the direction of Rokan Hill.
The sun was about to set in the evening. Staring ahead of the car, Charlotte noticed the cars of those affiliated with the Nacht family were merely a few feet ahead of their car.
Her mind was all over her place when she thought of her children. As much as she wished to gain custody over them, they seemed to have gotten used to the lifestyle as a member of the Nacht family.
Are they going to blame me if I try to gain custody over them and take them away from their father against their will?
Maybe I need to stop overthinking things and just go along with the flow since they seem to have made up their minds.
Shortly after Ben returned home with Jamie and Ellie, he instructed Raina to take care of them. Once he ensured there were plenty of people around to keep them safe, he made his way to meet up with Zachary.
Raina found out Jamie was fine after having a fever over the past few days. On the contrary, Ellie got increasingly frail as her face turned pale and haggard.
She mentioned she could feel a racking sensation coming from her stomach. When Raina was about to examine the actual cause of the little girl’s discomfort, Ellie started puking.
