“It won’t take that long…” Charlotte was well aware that he would not let her leave for a month, so she settled for less to appease him. “It’ll take two weeks at most. We’ll see how it goes then.”

“Two weeks is too long.” Zachary had grown accustomed to having her by his side.

“We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. I’ll try my best to return soon,” Charlotte coaxed. “The children would be waiting for me at home. I can’t possibly stay away from them for so long.”

Zachary conceded, convinced by her reasoning. Even if she could bear being separated from me, she would miss the children.

“I’ll have Ben take care of it. It’s time for bed now,” Zachary said as he tucked her in.

Charlotte let out a satisfied hum and buried herself in Zachary’s embrace like an adorable kitten.
