However, it was no use thinking about all that now. All she could do now was to take it one step at a time.
Charlotte put the will down and noticed a black card by the side. It was some money left behind by Richard for her.
She took out some money for investment back then and still had a hundred million left in S Nation's bank.
Nonetheless, she had no use for the money now since she already had plenty.
Regardless, she felt the need to take it away with her since it was left behind by her father.
Charlotte placed everything into a box where she kept her father's belongings, including the contract between her and Zachary.
After all, that was how they fell in love in the first place.
She wanted to keep it for old times’ sake.
After she finished packing up, Charlotte lay down on the bed to rest. She felt worn out after everything that had happened, but never dared put her guard down.
Now that she's back home and surrounded by familiarity, she felt like she could finally put her guard down. She lay down on the bed and very soon, she was fast asleep.
After Zachary was done preparing lunch, he washed his hands and went to check on Charlotte.
After knocking twice on the door without getting any response, he walked in and found Charlotte fast asleep on the bed.
She looked so gentle and vulnerable in her sleep, just like how she used to be.
Zachary tiptoed into the room, tucked her in, sat by the bed, and watched her quietly.
As the past came rushing into his mind, he couldn't help but reach out to caress her cheeks.
Just then, Charlotte was jolted awake. She opened her eyes and met Zachary's complicated gaze. After returning to her senses, she quickly pushed him away.
“I'm just tucking you in,” Zachary explained.
“You can get out now that you're done.” Charlotte glared at him.
“Lunch is ready.” Zachary changed the topic.
“I'm not hungry, you can eat first.”
Charlotte turned her back toward him and continued to sleep.
Zachary sighed helplessly, got up, and left.
Just then, the kids barged into her room and shouted, “Daddy, Mommy, it's time for lunch. We're hungry.”
