“Yes,” Charlotte said, nodding her head. Truthfully, she continued, “Sorry, Mrs. Berry. I should’ve told you earlier.”
Mrs. Berry sighed deeply. “Everyone makes their own choices in life, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. If you like him, you should be with him—I can have no opinion on that. I hope he’ll be good to you and the kids. However…”
Here, Mrs. Berry paused, looking rather uncertain.
“Mrs. Berry, what are you trying to say?” Charlotte asked.
“Miss, I’m just worried that an important family like the Nacht family might not be able to accept your children,” Mrs. Berry said, frowning. “Doesn’t your boyfriend worry about that?”
“Of course not…” Charlotte said, completely sure of herself, “because the children are his.”
“What?” Mrs. Berry looked at her, stunned silly. “Are you kidding me? You are, aren’t you? Isn’t the father of the triplets that—that gigolo from Sultry Night…”
“Yes, that’s him,” Charlotte couldn’t believe these words were coming out of her mouth, but she told Mrs. Berry the truth anyway. “Four years ago, I got set up by Luna, but things turned out like this…”
After she finished telling the whole story to Mrs. Berry, Charlotte continued, “Actually, I knew who he was from the start. But I thought he was irresponsible and unfit to be a father. In addition, I was scared of the Nacht family’s power—what if they took my children and drove me away? That’s why I never told him that he was the father of the triplets.”
“However, when I got into the accident, he conducted a DNA test using Robbie’s tissues. When he found out the truth, he did so many things for the children. I felt very touched…”
“I see,” Mrs. Berry replied, sighing in disappointment. “No wonder our family keeps having all sorts of dealings with the Nacht family. For a period of time, I wondered if they were flies that wouldn’t go away! So the Nacht guy had arranged for all of this to happen…”
“Truth be told, I had lots of worries in the past,” Charlotte said, smiling bitterly. “I even wanted to uproot the family from H City after you and Jamie recovered. We could’ve found a new place to leave. However, so many things happened…perhaps this is meant to be.”
