“What's going on with you and Zachary?” Robert's tone turned solemn. “You said you were going to talk to him about the children, so why...”
He trailed off, for it did not seem appropriate for him to say anything as her future father-in-law.
“I don't think there's any need for me to discuss this with you.” Charlotte did not want to continue the conversation. “If you think that I've embarrassed you, feel free to cancel the wedding.”
“As I've expected, you've finally shown your true nature,” Sherlyn snarled in a mocking tone. “You've wanted to break off the engagement for a long time now so that you can be with Zachary, right?”
Charlotte lowered her head, not wanting to answer her.
“You want to break off the engagement?” Robert furrowed his brows. “Have you ever considered the consequences of doing so?”
“What consequences?” Charlotte asked, somewhat glad that they had finally reached the main topic.
“You're a smart girl. I'm sure you don't need me to say anything to understand it,” Robert uttered. “That's it for today. Dwell on it before you give us the answer tomorrow.”
With that said, he rose to his feet to leave.
“Darling,” Sherlyn called out, but Robert did not turn around.
Although Sherlyn was furious, she had no choice but to follow him out. However, before she left, she shot Charlotte a glare and said to Diana, “Take her to Louis.”
“Understood.” Diana walked over and said politely, “Ms. Lindberg, this way, please.”
Charlotte stood up and followed her out as Lupine and Morgan trailed behind her.
“Ms. Lindberg, I was only following orders earlier. You won't be mad at me, right?” Diana apologized tentatively.
“No,” Charlotte replied as her eyes flicked toward her.
“Morgie, I'm sorry.” Diana turned to look at Morgan.
However, Morgan only glared at her in silence.
They soon reached Louis' room. Diana knocked on the door and quietly informed, “Louis, Ms. Lindberg is here.”
Soon, the door swung open to reveal an older, stern-looking maid who then studied Charlotte.
