Lupine got home and reported everything about Ben to Charlotte.
Charlotte knitted her brows and responded in disbelief. “Are you sure? You mean I was wrong?”
“I don’t think he lied.” Lupine thought about it. “But before they left, I did feel there was something weird about Mr. Nacht…”
“Continue to monitor and test them,” Charlotte ordered. “Try asking him out again tomorrow.”
Lupine nodded and consoled Charlotte. “Don’t worry, Ms. Lindberg. No news is good news. Perhaps there’s nothing wrong with Mr. Nacht?”
“I hope so.” Charlotte let out a sigh. “I’m afraid he’s keeping things from me.”
“You still care for him.” Lupine could tell. “And I think he cares for you too. Why don’t you two get back together?”
“It’s easier said than done.” Charlotte sighed. “Besides, there are still many obstacles that get in our way…”
“What obstacles?” Lupine was puzzled. “Since Mr. Henry is not around anymore, no one can stop the two of you from getting back together anymore.”
“Whatever that has happened in the past, I can’t just let them be bygones,” Charlotte uttered with a bitter smile. “Our feuds may be in the past, but the pain remains.”
Besides, it’s not just a relationship problem but a feud between the Nachts and Linbergs. I’m in no position to say or do anything at this point. What would others think of me if I return to the Nacht family when Danrique is still missing? And what if Danrique returns?
“You’re right.” Lupine did not know what else to say anymore.
“It’s getting late. Go and get some rest.” Charlotte gently patted her shoulder.
Lupine nodded. “You too. Remember don’t wet your injured hand. Call us if you need any help.”
“Got it.”
The room quietened down once again after Lupine had left.
