Despite Zachary’s reassurance, Charlotte still could not help but feel anxious about meeting Henry.

Charlotte recalled her first encounter with Henry. She was full of confidence and arrogance, absolutely sure of her resolve to not have anything to do with Zachary.

But now, the tables had turned and she wanted to marry Zachary. Her love for Zachary had turned out to be her soft spot and Henry’s approval of her became a priority.

“Let’s get some rest.” Zachary was about to head upstairs with Charlotte when they heard a car pulling up just outside.

One of the bodyguards dashed to Zachary and reported, “Mr. Nacht, Mr. Henry is here.”

Instead of his own residence, Henry made his way here straight from the hospital. The fact that he had chosen a time before the children came home from kindergarten was a clear indication that he wanted to have a private conversation with both Zachary and Charlotte.

 

Charlotte instantly grew nervous and at a loss of what to do next.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be by your side,” Zachary said while holding her hand and started walking toward the door.

 

As though it was well-rehearsed many times before, all the bodyguards and maids swiftly formed two straight lines in front of the car. Mrs. Berry, who was unpacking in the room, also rushed out with the rest of them. Her expression grew grim the moment she was informed that the patriarch of the family had just arrived.

So, this is the person whose blessing Miss will need to get for her to marry into the Nacht family.
