Indeed, when Louis went to Charlotte and told her about the beach getaway, she rejected his offer at once.
Bluntly, she told him that Zachary would be here in two days to pick the kids up, so she would be spending the remaining time with Ellie in the manor.
Though Louis usually would not press the matter if he got rejected, this time, he tried to convince her by saying Ellie could come with them and that he had a surprise all planned out.
Alas, no matter what he said, Charlotte insisted on remaining in the manor.
Dejected, he could only leave reluctantly.
The children's joyous cries sounded from downstairs when he stepped out of the room.
“I can't wait to see the magic show!”
“Is the magician any good?”
“Can he teach me some magic?”
The three children gathered around Sherlyn and chattered about the magician troupe that was to arrive tomorrow excitedly.
“Of course, the magicians are good. You'll love them, I promise. They can teach you magic. If you wish, I can ask them to teach you.” Sherlyn was good at coaxing the children.
“Yay, that sounds amazing!”
Louis felt a stab of jealousy in his heart when he saw how overjoyed the kids were. He was about to return to his room when Robbie and Ellie came upstairs to look for Charlotte.
Ellie had a few dresses in her arm. Hopping happily along the hallway, she asked, “Robbie, which dress is the prettiest? When Daddy and Jamie are here, I want to dress up for them!”
“They are all pretty,” Robbie replied. He seemed to be in a good mood on that day. “All three are of different styles, so you can pick whichever you like most.”
“They are all pretty,” Robbie replied. He seemed to be in a good mood on that day. “All three are of different styles, so you can pick whichever you like most.”
“Hmph, you know nothing. I shall ask Mommy.”
Ellie gathered her dresses and scampered off to Charlotte. When she ran past Louis, she greeted him politely, “Hello, Sir Louis!”
“Hello, Ellie.” Louis flashed her a smile before turning to Robbie. “Hi, Robbie!”
Robbie gave him a friendly nod and followed Ellie into Charlotte's room.
