Chapter 139 - 5
The atmosphere went silent, both of them gazing at each other with so many unspoken words in their eyes.
"Can we leave here?" Breaking the awkward silence, she requested.
"Alright," he nodded in response then revved the engine for departure. Getting back to the mansion, Charlotte went straight up into her room, her eyes teary as she walked away. Dave wanted to run after her but was abruptly stopped by his mother, "Can we talk?" Theresa requested.
"What is it?" Getting impatient, he asked.
"Damien is not in the mansion, do you know what the emergency is? The elders won’t disclose it," she managed to find out about Damien leaving the mansion, but she wasn’t told the real reason he left, which bothered her.
At least, if she knew what the emergency was for, she could manage to help Aurora.
"Yes, I do." Dave answered like it was the normal thing for him to know. Enoch had passed the information through a text message while he was out with Charlotte.
He was also supposed to be on his way to the airport to assist them with the emergency in the other country, but Charlotte’s mood was stopping him from leaving.
"What’s it?" Eager, she moved closer to him and inquired.
"I forgot to mention, your lovely son didn’t want you and others to know." Theresa’s mood turned sour, her face contorted into a frown as she pondered on why Damien was hiding the situation from everyone. If the elders hadn’t told her the real reason, could it be that they also didn’t know about it?
"I...." Theresa trailed off when she saw the direction of her son’s gaze. It was toward where she saw Charlotte walking away, when they both entered the mansion. Speaking of which, why did Charlotte run away like that when they both went out together in a good mood?
