“If you keep pushing your luck, I'll stop holding back and hit you!” Glaring at him in the eyes, she repeated herself, “Get the hell out of my sight immediately!”
“Y-You...” As painful as it might be, Zachary braced himself through the excruciating sensation and urged in a serious tone, “Send our children to my place! It's not safe for them to stay with you!”
Charlotte regained her composure and continued making the dishes she had in mind. “What do you mean it's not safe for them to stay with me when they're home?”
“Can you stop arguing with me?” Zachary was slightly irritated. He warned, “Aren't you aware Danrique doesn't really appreciate their—”
She interrupted him and finished, “He has grown fond of them! Why don't you keep your concerns to yourself! I'll ensure they have everything they need even when they're away from the Nacht family!”
Zachary asked with a frown, “Huh? Are you serious? Has Danrique grown fond of them?”
Similarly, Charlotte furrowed her brows and asked, “Are you surprised or something? Isn't it natural when they're members of the Lindberg family?”
“Wait a minute...”
Knock! Knock!
When Zachary was about to share something else, Taylor knocked on the door and mentioned, “Zachary, it's about time!”
“I'll drop by and talk to you soon!” Shortly after he wrapped up his conversation with Charlotte, he touched up his appearance and walked out of the kitchen.
Charlotte had no intention to waste her time with him. She continued making the dishes she had in mind but found out it might be a mission impossible. Hence, she instructed, “Get the chefs to join me in the kitchen!”
“Yes!” Afraid of getting on Charlotte's nerves, the owner instructed the chefs to join her in the kitchen immediately.
Colors had long drained from the faces of the chefs—they were afraid that their lives would be at stake if Charlotte was irked.
Lupine assured the startled bunch, “Just take it easy because she's not going to take any of you out for no reason. However, if you don't hurry up, I'll do you a favor and take you out.”
“Y-Yes...” Startled by Lupine's warnings, the chefs staggered their ways into the kitchen once again.
After taking another peek at Lupine, the owner returned to the dining hall to tend to Zachary and his guests.
