Raising her gaze at the majestic building, Charlotte looked at the gardens, the bodyguards, and the old servants. Inside her, she felt a strong sense of familiarity.
At that moment, countless disjointed images flashed across her mind. The images were from the time she lived in the villa.
Every one of them was warm and blissful.
Given that she didn’t resent the place, it meant she had many happy memories there.
Charlotte recalled the last time she came to the Nacht residence.
At that time, Henry had sent a messenger to Northridge to warn her that her pet was frightening his great-grandchildren.
Infuriated, she brought the eagle to the Nacht residence so that she could show them who was the boss.
However, she ended up frightening her own children.
Due to her rash actions, Robbie saw the black gold ring on Fifi’s legs. With that, he managed to locate her by chance.
Everything seemed to have been dictated by fate.
And destiny had decided that she was to come home sooner or later.
Even if her relationship with Zachary couldn’t be reconciled, she had to protect her children from any threats they faced.
She would never forgive anyone who dared to hurt her children.
“Daddy!” Robbie’s vibrant voice rang out, interrupting Charlotte’s thoughts.
“Robbie!” Zachary bent over and stretched out his arms.
Robbie dashed over and threw himself into Zachary’s embrace. After leaving home for such a long time, he missed his daddy a lot. Since what happened at the Lindberg residence the last time, he was worried about Zachary every day.
Watching father and son reunite, Charlotte felt a rush of conflicting emotions.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, Jamie and Ellie’s screams could be heard from inside the house.
Just when Zachary was about to check, Charlotte dashed in right away.
A minute ago, just when Jamie was carrying Ellie down the spiral staircase, he felt someone suddenly push him from behind. Losing his balance, both he and Ellie tumbled down the steps.
At the crucial moment, someone dashed forward to cushion their fall, mitigating any further injuries.
“Mommy!” Jamie cried out subconsciously.
However, when he turned to look, he realized it was Cynthia instead of Charlotte.
“Jamie! Ellie!”
Dashing over anxiously, Charlotte coincidentally saw Cynthia lunging forward to save the children with little regard for her own safety.
Obviously, everyone else saw the moving scene.
Everyone, including Zachary was stunned.
Holding onto her injured back, Cynthia struggled to get up. She signed, ”Jamie, Ellie, are you all right?”
“We’re fine.” Jamie shook his head. “Thank you, Ms. Cynthia.”
Considering Jamie wasn’t home recently, he wasn’t aware of Cynthia’s wrongdoings. As for how the nurses bullied Ellie, he assumed it was due to their own behavior and didn’t think much about it.
“Mommy…”
When Ellie saw Charlotte, she cried with her hands outstretched.
Charlotte ran over and picked her up at once. Holding her haggard little face, she asked, “Ellie, are you all right?”
“Mommy, I’m scared.”
Hugging onto Charlotte tightly, Ellie bawled her lungs out.
At that moment, all the panic and fear that she felt were released. The only place where she felt safe was in her mommy’s arms.
“Ellie, don’t be afraid. Calm down…” Charlotte gently patted her on her back. She softly comforted her, “Mommy is here. No one will dare harm you now.”
“Boohoo…” Despite nodding in acknowledgment, Ellie continued crying.
“Mommy…” When Jamie saw Ellie crying, he too burst into tears.
At the same time, many of the old servants teared up at the scene.
“Jamie, come over here. Let me see if you’re hurt.” Charlotte pulled Jamie closer to check.
“I’m fine.” Jamie shook his head. Sobbing, he remarked, “Mommy, you’re finally home. We have been looking forward to your return every day.”
