“Then I'll send some people along with you. I don't feel it's safe for you and Mrs. Berry to travel alone.” Zachary's sounded very determined.
“What's there to worry about?” Charlotte hurriedly added, “Nobody would know if Mrs. Berry and I leave without making a big hoo-ha. On the contrary, it will attract a lot of attention if you send people with us.”
“Why are you so disobedient—”
“All right, all right. It's time for me to get up. I promised to make the kids breakfast.” Charlotte got up and headed toward the bathroom resolutely. “You've promised me. Don't go back on your words and change the plan.”
“...” Zachary knitted his brows. If it were in the past, he would have disregarded her protest and made the final decision domineeringly. However, being with Charlotte and the children had softened his temper. He was no longer overbearing with them. Instead, he treated them with respect, courtesy, and concern.
Therefore, he could only execute his plans in secret.
After breakfast, Charlotte informed the children that she was returning to the countryside with Mrs. Berry to handle some matters. She told them it would take some time for her to return and reminded them to obey their father.
Hearing that, Robbie asked anxiously, “How long will you be gone for, Mommy?”
“Probably two weeks, but maybe earlier. It depends on when I'm done with the matters,” Charlotte said gently, patting his head.
“Mommy, you have to come back early. I'll miss you,” Ellie said adorably, tilting her head.
“Don't worry. I'll be back as soon as I'm done.” Charlotte kissed her little face.
“Mommy, are you and Mrs. Berry going to see Mr. Fergus and the others?” Jamie was peeling his hard-boiled egg. Having just had his milk, he had a milk beard around his mouth, looking incredibly adorable.
“I'll go to pay respect to your Grandpa before visiting one of his old friends.” She handed Jamie a hot cross bunny. “I'll be back as soon as possible. All of you must be obedient at home, understand?”
“Understood, Mommy!” they answered in unison.
