Charlotte stopped Louis from finishing his sentence and remarked, “It’s time to let bygones be bygones since things
won’t work out between us anymore.”
“It’s such a shame.” Louis made it sound he felt bad on her behalf, but his tone suggested otherwise.
Afraid of hurting the man, Charlotte added in a hushed voice, “With that being said, I merely consider you a friend
of mine as well!”
To her surprise, Louis couldn’t be bothered at all. He assured her, “It’s fine as long as you’re not against the idea of
staying with me! We can take it easy and see if things work out in the near future! Things turn out just fine for my
parents since they merely fell in love with one another only after they got married!”
“H-Huh?” Charlotte was at a loss for words to carry on with the conversation because she had heard of Louis’s
parents being a match made in heaven.
Their healthy relationship was the reason they had brought up such a remarkable son. Thus, she couldn’t believe

they weren’t actually in love in the first place.
“I have told your brother to stop forcing you into submission. We’ll just take it easy and see if we’re meant for one
another. When you think it’s time to take our relationship to the next level, we’ll consider getting married. With that
being said, we can get married if you’re keen. My parents are of the same idea. They thought of meeting your
brother in person to sort out the details of the wedding ceremony—”
Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door and interrupted the duo’s conversation.
“Yes?” Charlotte asked.
The maid gasped out her announcement, “Ms. Lindberg, Ms. Elisa has returned, but she’s having a fever.”
Charlotte brought herself out of Louis’ room, Louis followed her.
Raina was seated on the couch with Ellie in between her arms. She assured the little girl, “It’s going to be fine, Ellie!
Your mother will join us soon!”
“Ellie!” Charlotte rushed down the stairs the moment she saw her weeping daughter.
The little girl sniffled and stretched her arms. “M-Mommy—”

Charlotte rushed over to Ellie’s side and placed her hand on her daughter’s forehead to check on the little girl’s
temperature, instructing the maid, “Go get Dr. Felch!”
“Yes!”
“I’m so sorry, Ms. Lindberg—it might have something to do with her wailing for such a long time. I dared not
administer anything since she’s currently under Dr. Felch’s care.”
“It’s fine. I’m well aware of your concerns.” Charlotte knew Raina must have tried her best to ensure Ellie’s safety.
However, there wasn’t anything much Raina could do since Ellie was currently under the care of Dr. Felch.
Dr. Felch marched out of the study and instructed, “Take her to the laboratory!”
Without a second thought, Charlotte rushed Ellie in the direction of the laboratory.
“Ms. Lindberg, I’ll excuse myself.” Raina made her way back shortly after she ensured the little girl was in good
hands.

Dr. Felch ensured everything was fine and assured Charlotte, “She’s not feeling well due to inflamed tonsils. Just
take it easy since it’s not a big deal. She’s going to be fine in no time once she finishes the medicine.”
Heaving a sigh of relief, Charlotte remarked, “I’m just glad she’s fine!”
Dr. Felch looked at Louis and asked, “Who is this gentleman over here?”
Charlotte introduced them to one another, “Oh! This is Sir Louis! Louis, this is Dr. Felch!”
“Hello, Dr. Felch!” Louis greeted the doctor with a nod.
“Hello, Sir Louis! I’m impressed a foreigner can converse with us in our mother tongue without any issue!”
“Charlotte’s has done a great job as my tutor.” Louis turned around and greeted the little girl, “Hello, Ellie! Nice to
meet you!”
Staring at the handsome man in front of her, the little girl responded with a frown and snuggled in her mother’s
arms.
The six-year-old little girl was conscious of the sort of relationship the man had with her mother. However, she
would never acknowledge any other man apart from her father.
