Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie talked on and on, trying to persuade Charlotte to return to Northridge.
Charlotte could not bring herself to turn them down, but she knew it was not a good idea to go back now. She was afraid she would fall for Zachary again. She would be in for huge trouble if that happened.
She was fine with how things were at the moment. She kept her distance and they were on good terms.
“Do you guys know this is where Grandpa used to live?” Charlotte told the children, trying to change the topic.
“Mommy and Mrs. Berry used to live here as well. We took a lot of photos together. Do y’all want to have a look?”
“Yes!” Charlotte managed to spark the children’s interest. “We want to see it, Mommy.”
“Great, but we’ll do that later. I need to run some errands now. Why not y’all play with Alpha, Beta, and Gamma first? I’ll show you guys the photos in a bit.”
“But…” The children stopped, looking at Zachary.
“Daddy said y’all can stay for the weekend and leave tomorrow night,” Charlotte assured the children.
“Yay!” The three kids leaped in joy when they knew they could stay over.
A cheerful smile broke out on Charlotte’s face as she looked at the children. “I’m going to visit Dr. Felch now. You guys stay at home first, okay?”
“Yes, Mommy!”
The kids ran back merrily to the courtyard to play.
Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the children. She asked Morgan to stay back to watch the kids while Lupine and her got ready to leave.
“We can go in my car,” Zachary suggested, “I bet Dr. Felch doesn’t like too many cars at his place.”
“Sure,” Charlotte agreed and hopped on with Lupine.
Lupine sat down beside Ben, who was in the driver’s seat, while Charlotte and Zachary sat at the back.
The four set out with the rest of the guards at home to keep an eye on the children.
