Grace just watched her with sympathy.
Pulling herself together, Charlotte walked into the house. A housekeeper immediately approached her. “Ma’am,
Mr. Harrison and young Mr. Julius will be hin two hours. Would you like to start dinner preparations?”
For five years, Charlotte had handled everything for Arthur - cooking his meals, choosing his clothes, even

Charlotte’s hand, hidden under the blanket, clenched the sheets tightly. “And the child... is he really ours?”
Arthur's patience was wearing thin. “It was another accident. Don’t overthink it.”
