q“Mmm...” Though Charlotte was almost in tears, she had no choice but to give in to him.

She was not very experienced in this field despite her identity as a mother. After all, she lacked practice. Actually, it was the same for Zachary. The only difference was that men had an innate talent for this sort of thing.

The next morning, Charlotte slept in till ten. When she opened her bleary eyes, she realized that Zachary was no longer resting on his pillow.

She heard the water running in the bathroom, so she assumed that he was in the shower.

Upon rubbing her eyes, she glanced at the clock, only to jump out of her wits. It's already past eleven?

Instantly, she hopped out of her bed and put on her nightgown. When she entered the bathroom, she was surprised to see the tap was left running while no one was inside.

Feeling anxious, she quickly searched the dressing room as well as the study for Zachary, but to no avail.

Right when she was about to leave the room, she bumped into Hanna and the food cart at the door. “Oh, you're awake, Ms. Lindberg. Great, I've prepared some breakfast for you—”

Charlotte interrupted her, “Where's Zachary?”

“Mr. Zachary went to the office early in the morning. He said that you were tired, and he warned us not to disturb your sleep.” Hanna giggled a little as she spoke. “He has also instructed me to prepare something nutritious to send your way once you get up.”

“Oh, thank you, Mrs. Rawlston.” Charlotte blushed while cursing Zachary in her heart. How could he say something so private to others?

“You're most welcome. It's my duty to do so.” Hanna wheeled the cart in and served them on the table. “Shall I get someone to assist you in your bath?”
