When Charlotte reached Happy Avenue, the first thing she did was buy a phone.
This time, Charlotte steeled herself and bought the best phone available, hoping that it would not malfunction as easily as it did the last time.
Slotting in her phone card, Charlotte quickly gave Mrs. Berry a call.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Berry had thought that something happened to Charlotte when she couldn't contact her last night.
After explaining to Mrs. Berry that her phone broke, Charlotte proceeded to give her kids a video call.
Charlotte could see that her kids had put on their thick cotton-padded jackets, but they still looked
as good as ever.
Frowning, Robbie worriedly queried, "Mommy, are you okay? We're worried about you."
"I'm fine. Don’t worry," Charlotte reassured.
Jamie squeezed to the front and showed his mother his fists. "Mommy, I've been practicing martial arts recently. When I'm stronger, I'll be able to protect you."
"Thank you, Jamie." Charlotte smiled sweetly.
"Jamie's the best."
"Mommy, Mommy." Ellie squeezed her chubby cheeks into the frame. When she saw her mother, her large eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Mommy, Ellie misses you."
Seeing Ellie's tears, both Robbie and Jamie started tearing up as well. However, the two boys frowned as they forced the tears to remain in their eyes.
"Be good, Ellie. Once I’m done dealing with the things here, I will come for you three,” Charlotte consoled.
"The bad guy's already been caught, and I have to fix and clean the house first so that you'll be able to return to a pretty home."
"That's great!" the children cheered.
"Mommy, we’ll come and help you with the cleaning,” Robbie voiced out. "We can't let you do everything alone."
Jamie chimed in, "That's right. I'm a strong boy. I can do a lot of things."
