Chapter 1137
“This concerns the royal family's reputation!” Robert frowned.
“If so, why don't you just let Louis marry a woman who hasn't had any children?” Charlotte smiled. “My current
situation is very clear. I'm sure that everyone knows about it.”
“No, I only like you,” insisted Louis. “Daddy, stop putting Charlotte in a tight spot. There's no need to change their
last names...”
“Shut up!” growled Robert before telling Charlotte, “If this is giving you a tough choice, I won't force you. You can
just have a child with Louis earlier.”
When Charlotte heard that, she had an instinctive urge to refuse. She had never thought about these problems, but
Robert's words reminded her...

“Okay, let's return to the main topic.” Robert steered the conversation back. “Answer me officially now. Do you
agree to this marriage?”
At that moment, Charlotte felt conflicted. Initially, she had already decided to accept the marriage for the sake of
the bigger picture. However, she was hesitating now.
“You're still considering?” When Robert noticed her hesitation, he felt displeased. “I'm returning to Pillere this
afternoon. If you haven't made up your mind by then, I'll make other arrangements.”
With that, he placed his cup down and was about to leave.
“Dad...”
“I agree.” Charlotte finally spoke.
Louis was stunned as he looked at her in shock. “Charlotte, are you saying...”
“I agree to the marriage.” Charlotte stopped hesitating. “But you should know that there are no romantic feelings
between Louis and me. Furthermore, I have my own opinions about certain issues. I will not make any concessions
for your family's interests or for the royal family's reputation. Even after marriage, I'm still an independent self, not
anyone's trophy wife. My son will not change his last name either. Also, I'm not sure if I'll have any kids in the
future.”
After a slight pause, she continued, “The wedding can only be held after two months, when Ellie's and my illness are
completely cured. That's all I want to say. If you accept all the conditions, then this is settled. If not, we shall just
forget it...”
“I accept!” Robert agreed easily. “Feelings can be nurtured slowly and we're not in a rush to hold the wedding.
However, we must announce the news first.”
“Discuss this with Danrique. If he agrees, I'm fine too,” said Charlotte.

Delighted, Robert strode away.
“I'm glad that you've finally agreed, Charlotte!” Louis was so happy that he could barely speak coherently. Holding
her hand, he promised, “I'll definitely protect you and make you happy...”
“Okay.” Charlotte smiled and said softly, “But I don't love you now. Do you really not mind?”
“I don't! As long as you don't hate me, I'll try my best to make you fall in love with me.” Louis was elated.
“Charlotte, I'm so happy! Can I hug you?”
Still smiling, Charlotte stared at him quietly.
Louis stretched out his arms tentatively. When she did not refuse, he hugged her tighter and whispered emotionally,
“Do you know, Charlotte? I've waited for this day for ages! Today's the happiest day of my life!”
Charlotte cast her gaze downward without saying anything. Although she could sense Louis' sincerity and
excitement, she could not share in his joy.
In fact, Zachary's figure flashed across his mind. She imagined him staring at her painfully with his brooding eyes,
as if he was saying, “Remember, you're my woman. You will always be...”
