Charlotte was completely impressed this time. These two kids hadn't even started elementary school, and they already knew how to manipulate their mother. They even used her personal information to book tickets online.
Charlotte thought for a moment and said seriously to the two kids, "During this trip, besides having fun, you both have to finish reading a book. Is that okay?"
Ben and Anna had a habit of reading, so reading a book was not difficult for them. They readily agreed.
An hour later, the two of them sat in the car on the way to the airport, each holding a legal-related book with blank expressions on their faces.
Little did they know that the books their mom had assigned them to read would be this.
Charlotte, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with this scene. The two kids were still young, and if they didn't have a sense of awe, they would become even more unruly in the future. Once, they made a serious mistake...
It would be too late to teach them a lesson then.
She withdrew her satisfied gaze, feeling like she had forgotten something but couldn't recall it.
Charlotte didn't dwell on the suspicion that she might have forgotten to pack something. If she had indeed left something behind, she could always buy it on the ship.
On the other side, Joe hurriedly returned home.
Originally, he had planned to stay with Charlotte all day, but some unexpected matters arose at the company, forcing him to make a quick trip to the office before rushing back.
However, when he returned, he hadn't expected to find the mansion completely empty.
Not only was Charlotte missing, but Ben and Anna were nowhere to be seen either.
Without thinking much, he assumed that Charlotte had taken Ben and Anna out for shopping after waking up. He placed the carefully prepared gifts on the bed, then went downstairs to inquire with Mr. River, "Did Charlotte and the kids mention when they would be back?"
Mr. River thought that Joe had known about their departure, so he replied, "They said it would be about three months."
"What?" Joe hesitated and looked at Mr. River, thinking he might have misheard. "Three months?"
