“That completes our wedding ceremony.” Charlotte placed his hand on her cheek as tears welled up in her eyes. “We will be together forever, right?”
Zachary parted his lips to reply “yes,” but the word choked in his throat.
He had no idea how to face her or reveal the harsh truth to her.
“What's the matter?” Charlotte could sense his mood. “Did something happen? Are you stumped?”
Zachary took a deep breath before announcing, “We might need to be separated for the time being.”
“What?” Charlotte stared at him in disbelief. “Why?”
“Trust me,” Zachary uttered as he held her face solemnly. “It's only for the time being.”
He had made up his mind to send her away for the time being. After all, he had to protect her, think of the kids' future, and protect his family's interests. However, he would deal with everything in the shortest time possible and go to her.
“Why?” Charlotte insisted. “Why do we have to be separated from each other? Where are you going?”
She thought Zachary was going to be away on a business trip for some time.
“I won't be going anywhere.” Zachary drew in a sharp breath and mustered his courage to reveal, “You are the one who needs to leave. I'll come to you after dealing with everything!”
“Huh?” Charlotte was shocked into silence. It took her a while to find her voice. “What do you mean? What happened? Don't tell me Grandpa is against our marriage now?”
“Something happened. It's complicated and hard to explain.” Zachary didn't want to reveal too much. “Anyway, I need to send you away now. When things are sorted out, I'll come to you—”
“Can I bring the kids back to Happy Avenue?” Charlotte was flustered by now. “You can come to visit us when you're free.”
