After a few drinks, Charlotte’s cheeks were flushed.

Louis poured her another glass of wine.

“I can’t drink too much tonight—”

“Charlotte!”

Before she could refuse the drink, Sherlyn came over to toast her.

At once, Charlotte rose to her feet. “Lady Sherlyn, I should’ve been the one to toast you at your table.”

 

“We’re a family; no need for the formalities.” The corners of the duchess’ lips quirked into a smile as she said sincerely, “I hope that the kids can have a happy and healthy childhood and that you and Louis will be blissful together. That’s all.”

Guilt crept up Charlotte’s heart at her words. After all, Sherlyn adored her children greatly.

 

The duchess had always prioritized the kids no matter what, so she was grateful for her help, regardless of the grudges she harbored toward the older woman.

“Cheers!”

“Thanks, Mom.”

The three of them downed their glasses.

Sherlyn patted Charlotte’s shoulder affectionately and reminded her. “Don’t drink too much. We still need to watch the show.”
