Charlotte did not lie, for she did call Danrique outside. That was because the agreed-upon day of their meeting was about to arrive, and she wanted to know how he was doing.
For the past month, Danrique did not keep in touch with her. Erihal kept a lid on all matters, so she did not receive any updates.
Although she was worried, she dared not ask questions.
Now that the day was near, she wanted to check on him.
The phone kept ringing, but no one picked it up. Charlotte thought about sending someone over to start an investigation. However, upon recalling Sean's reminder that she was to ignore everything, focus on her recovery, and protect the children, she dared not do so.
At that thought, Charlotte gave up on her fleeting idea. She glanced at the forest not far away, feeling strangely unsettled.
“Mr. Lindberg will be fine,” Lupine reassured her. “Perhaps he'll be in contact a few days later.”
“I'll have to pacify myself with that.” Charlotte let out a sigh. “Where's Gordon?”
“He was patrolling outside a while ago.” Lupine tilted her head and said, “Oh, here he is.”
As soon as she spoke, Gordon strode over to them and came to a stop before Charlotte. “Ms. Lindberg,” he greeted her politely.
“There are many outsiders here in the manor today, so it might be quite rowdy. Do you have any problem with security?” asked Charlotte worriedly.
“There are fifty-seven visitors in total, including the magicians,” Gordon replied. “Besides that, they also brought some small animals along. I've already asked the rest to run a thorough check. Don't worry. I'll handle the security.”
“Thanks!” Charlotte bobbed her head slightly.
“No problem.” He reciprocated her gesture with a polite bow, then turned to Lupine and said, “I have to monitor the surroundings since too many outsiders will be around. You should stay with Ms. Lindberg and the children at all times.”
“Got it. I'll never leave Ms. Lindberg's side today,” Lupine answered with a brisk nod. “As for the others, I'll assign them to protect the children.”
“The kids are more important than me.” Charlotte scoffed. “Even if someone tries to harm me, I can deal with him. A few assassins won't be able to hurt me.”
“Yes!” Lupine lowered her head.
