The private jet landed at Yaleview’s airport. Charlotte held the kids’ hands as they got off the plane. A
sense of loneliness engulfed Charlotte as she took in the familiar yet heartbreaking view of the city.
Years ago, her father took her to that city when he was still alive. She was only a teenager at the time.
Her dad was busy starting his business, so Mrs. Berry had been the one who kept her company in a villa
located outside the suburbs.
A couple of trees were planted at the side of the villa’s entrance, and their leaves would turn the floor into
a warm, beautiful orange when autumn and winter came around.
Like H City, Yaleview also had an ideal climate and its temperature never fell below zero degrees, not
even during winter. That was why the leaves remained sitting on the tree branches during winter and why
the scenery was stunning.
However, the city didn’t feel like home without her father or Mrs. Berry around. If anything, it made
Charlotte feel especially lonely.
“Aunt Charlotte, where are we?”
Alpha was crouching. She picked up a fallen leaf and narrowed her eyes while holding the leaf toward
the sun and examining it. She looked extremely cute and innocent as she did so.
“We’re in Yaleview,” answered Charlotte with a smile, “In a way, this is my second home.”
“It’s so pretty here,” commented Beta as she scanned around and stared curiously, “I used to think that
the entire world is white, but I later learned that it can be green and purple as well. I’ve only just learned
that the Earth can be yellow too!”
“Haha.”
Charlotte laughed. She crouched down to stroke Beta’s tiny head after that.
Kids had always been innocent. They used to live in Xendale where it was always winter, so they thought
that it was white everywhere.
Later, they went to Arkfield and saw the farm, the fields, and the purple grapes, so they assumed that the
rest of the world could only be white, green, and/or purple.
That was the first time they went to Yaleview, and seeing the leaves on the ground got them to
understand that the Earth could also be yellow.
They were only two and a half years old, so the world seemed simple from their point of view.
“Aunt Charlotte, when will we meet up with our parents and our cousins?”
Gamma was the most mature among them and was the one who had the most desires.
“Gamma, your parents are busy, so I will take care of you for now, okay? As for your cousins… I’ll take
you to them sometime later,” promised Charlotte sweetly as she stroked Gamma’s arms.
“Okay,” murmured Gamma sadly. She had her head down and was caressing her tiny hand as she
pouted and complained, “Adults are always like this. They like to claim that they are busy and often
postpone things…”
Charlotte didn’t know what to say in response to that. She had assumed that they were just kids and
didn’t understand much, but they turned out to be smarter than she thought.
“Ms. Lindberg,” called out Gordon at that moment.
Charlotte had Lupine babysit the kids before she followed Gordon to the side and asked, “Is everything
done?”
“Yes,” replied Gordon in a low voice, “I plan on taking the commercial flight back to Erihal, so as to not
draw any attention. I’ll get in touch with Sean once I reach the place and will report back to you as soon
as I learn anything.”
“Good. Take care,” replied Charlotte while tapping his shoulder.
“Then we shall leave now. Please take care of the kids.”
Gordon bowed to Charlotte after he said his piece.
The seven other bodyguards bowed to Charlotte as well to show their respect.
“Be careful and take care of yourself.”
Charlotte was pleased to see the way everyone acted. The rest of the world regarded Danrique as a
cruel dictator, but his subordinates were loyal and would lay their lives down for him.
That proved that he was kind and sincere to his own men.
“Thank you, Ms. Lindberg.”
Gordon turned to the triplets and stroked all of their tiny heads before informing, “Kids, I have to leave for
a while. You girls be good and listen to your Aunt Charlotte, okay?”
“Where are you going?” asked Beta curiously.
“Uncle Gordon, are you going to Daddy?” asked Alpha. Her big, round eyes glowed with anticipation as
she stared at him and requested, “Can you help me hand this to him?”
Alpha handed the leaf she picked up earlier to Gordon.
