Robbie did not dare think more into it. Tears welled up in his eyes. Robbie balled his hands into fists to stop his body from shaking.
“Mommy...” Ellie said and burst into tears at Robbie's words.
“Mommy wouldn't be in trouble, would she?” Jamie mumbled anxiously. “We are supposed to have a photoshoot today. Why did Marino drive Mommy out? Where did they go?”
“We have to ask great-grandpa,” Robbie said as he twisted behind to look at Henry angrily with tear-stained eyes.
“No, Mr. Robinson, you are mistaken,” Spencer hurriedly explained. “Mr. Henry came today to...”
“Shut your mouth!” Henry interrupted. His intention of coming today was to propose to Zachary that he could keep Charlotte, but not marry her.
He intended to find a more suitable candidate to be Mrs. Nacht. The future Mrs. Nacht would then have to agree to the arrangement of Charlotte staying as the mother of the triplets.
Henry considered this a compromise, but he did not expect the situation to become this chaotic before he proposed his plan.
“Even if it were me who had sent your mother away, what are you going to do about it?” Henry sneered at Jamie. It suddenly occurred to Henry that he could gauge just how dependent the children are on Charlotte.
“Then we will go with Mommy,” Jamie said as he clenched his fists. “Nobody can replace her!”
“I want Mommy, I want Mommy!” Ellie wept breathlessly, her eyes bloodshot.
“Dear sweet Ellie, don't cry!” Mrs. Rawlston and several maids comforted Ellie but to no avail.
“Great-grandpa, why would you do such a thing?” Jamie tugged at Henry's feeble arm, as though he suddenly understood. “Why did you have to send Mommy away?” he sobbed. “Why?”
