“Ah, I don’t think you know about this, Ms. Lindberg.” The lady quickly huddled closer with Charlotte when she picked up the interest Charlotte showed. “He has two boys and a girl, and oh, how wonderful are they. They look just like the cherubs in those oil paintings we see. If I’m not mistaken, they’re Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie, aren’t they?” The lady beamed at Zachary.
“Yes.” Zachary looked at Charlotte quietly.
A few scenes popped up in Charlotte’s mind, and she wanted to immerse herself in them, but she started having a headache, and she held her head, trying to keep everyone from noticing.
“Oh, and they have a little parrot at home.” The lady seemed delighted. “It’s called Fifi.”
“Fifi?” Lupine and Morgan looked at each other. That’s the name of our pet.
“How do you know so much, Mrs. Morgana?” The other ladies were interested.
“Of course I do.” Mrs. Morgana arched her eyebrow proudly. “I read everything about Mr. Nacht’s wedding. His love story is so much more romantic than any romance movie, and I was moved to tears.”
“I saw it too, but I didn’t pay much attention to the content.” another lady said. “All I know is that his wife is the young heiress of the Synder Group.”
Zachary froze and looked at Charlotte.
Synder Group? Charlotte stared back at him with a complex gaze.
“Synder Group’s young heiress? Is she the one who stood against Ms. Lindberg?” Mrs. Morgana glanced carefully at Charlotte and stopped talking.
“No. That’s Sharon, an illegitimate daughter. Mrs. Nacht is the lawful daughter of the Blackwoods. I’m sure she’s—”
“I’ll be leaving now if all everyone does is gossip,” Zachary interrupted Mrs. Lorenzo and stood up to button his suit. “Go on ahead without me.”
Mr. Lorenzo quickly stood up to apologize, “I’m sorry for my wife’s behavior, Mr. Nacht. I’ll have a long talk with her later.”
