“What should we do then? We can’t possibly let them lock us up just like that?” Morgan, who was starting to panic, asked. “Gordon and the three little ones are still waiting for us at the villa. When can we leave?”
Charlotte did not reply, but merely walked toward the French windows, looking outside with a complicated gaze…
“Ms. Lindberg…”
“Alright, stop asking questions,” Lupine interrupted Morgan, reminding softly, “Let Ms. Lindberg have some peace.”
Upon hearing that, Morgan stopped speaking.
The two bodyguards stood next to Charlotte quietly, accompanying her.
“I’m so glad that Dr. Felch had gone back first,” Charlotte suddenly spoke. “If not, I’ll feel really bad if he had ended up being imprisoned here with us.”
“Ms. Lindberg, shall we give Gordon a call and get him to come here and save us?” Morgan asked tentatively.
“Are you mad?” Lupine chided. “Gordon has to protect the kids. If he shows up here, not only will we not be able to escape, he will be captured as well. No matter how strong Gordon is, we are still outnumbered.”
“Well, Gordon can gather more people.” Morgan was growing increasingly anxious as she said, “Mr. Lindberg has other subordinates as well…”
“Shut up,” Charlotte stopped Morgan from talking. “You’re not allowed to bring this up ever again.”
“Understood.” Morgan did not dare to speak any further.
“Don’t worry, we won’t be staying here for long.” Charlotte sat down on the sofa and continued placidly, “Even without Gordon saving us, we will be able to get out soon.”
“Really?” That piqued Morgan’s curiosity.
“Yup.” Charlotte took a sip of water from her glass before continuing, “Just bear with it for a few more days. Try to avoid confrontation with Louis’ family members.”
“Understood,” Lupine and Morgan replied, nodding their heads continuously.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. It was Diana, who had arrived with the maids, delivering breakfast. She had also brought along some fresh flowers for the room.
Charlotte remained seated on the sofa while observing the woman quietly. After they finished busying, Charlotte instructed, “Please inform my other two bodyguards that breakfast is ready and get them here.”
“Sure, Ms. Lindberg.” Diana immediately ordered one of the maids to get Jade and Emma over.
