In an instant, Charlotte heard the maids yelling, “Lady Sherlyn is here. Go down and welcome her now!”
Her heart skipped a beat. Ah! So Louis' mother, Lady Sherlyn, is here!
Knock! Knock! After a while, she heard someone knock on the door.
“Come in,” Charlotte responded briefly.
Lupine stepped into the room hastily and notified her, “Ms. Lindberg, Lady Sherlyn is here. Do we have to go down and welcome her?”
“The kids are asleep, aren't they?” Charlotte asked her instead, without replying directly to her question. She glanced at her watch and noticed that it was already half-past nine.
“Ellie and the three little ones are asleep, but Robbie is still reading,” Lupine replied.
Charlotte instructed, “Don't interrupt them. You go down with Morgan and me. As for the others, get them to keep an eye on the kids. Just let them go over to greet her tomorrow morning.”
“Ms. Lindberg, Noted. I will proceed with the necessary arrangement.” Lupine nodded respectfully and left the room.
By the time Charlotte had gotten changed, Lupine and Morgan were already waiting for her outside the door. Without hesitation, she went down with both of them.
Coincidentally, Louis was advancing toward them with his mother. There were about twenty subordinates following behind them, carrying luggage of various sizes. The lineup was rather overwhelming.
“Charlotte, this is my mom. Mom, this is Charlotte.” Louis introduced them to each other.
“Lady Sherlyn, nice to meet you,” Charlotte greeted her with a curtsy.
Sherlyn's face lit up as she complimented Charlotte, “Ah! You look even more stunning in person! I have been looking forward to meeting you. Once I knew that you were coming to F Nation, I requested Louis and his dad to arrange for us to meet. However, they keep telling me that you can't meet me so soon as you are currently under treatment. Hence, they can only arrange for us to meet after your recovery. However, I can hardly wait to meet you, so here I am!”
“Lady Sherlyn, I feel bad as you have to come all the way here. I should be the one to visit you first, but I was worried that I might disturb you. Thus, I'm planning to visit you only after my treatment,” Charlotte explained courteously.
“It doesn't matter who's the one to pay a visit first. After all, we will be a family soon.” Sherlyn held Charlotte's hands jubilantly and scanned her from head to toe. “Undoubtedly, my son has a good eye!”
“Haha! Mom, I knew it! I foresee that you will like Charlotte very much!” Louis laughed triumphantly.
