Chapter 200 Moving Immediately
When Charlotte reached Happy Avenue, the first thing she did was buy a phone.
This time, Charlotte steeled herself and bought the best phone available, hoping that it would not malfunction as easily as it did the last time.
Slotting in her phone card, Charlotte quickly gave Mrs. Berry a call.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Berry had thought that something happened to Charlotte when she couldn’t contact her last night.
After explaining to Mrs. Berry that her phone broke, Charlotte proceeded to give her kids a video call.
Charlotte could see that her kids had put on their thick cotton-padded jackets, but they still looked as good as ever.
Frowning, Robbie worriedly queried, “Mommy, are you okay? We’re worried about you.”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Charlotte reassured.
Jamie squeezed to the front and showed his mother his fists. “Mommy, I’ve been practicing martial arts recently. When I’m stronger, I’ll be able to protect you.”
“Thank you, Jamie.” Charlotte smiled sweetly. “Jamie’s the best.”
“Mommy, Mommy.” Ellie squeezed her chubby cheeks into the frame. When she saw her mother, her large eyes instantly welled up with tears. “Mommy, Ellie misses you.”
Seeing Ellie’s tears, both Robbie and Jamie started tearing up as well. However, the two boys frowned as they forced the tears to remain in their eyes.
“Be good, Ellie. Once I’m done dealing with the things here, I will come for you three,” Charlotte consoled.
“The bad guy’s already been caught, and I have to fix and clean the house first so that you’ll be able to return to a pretty home.”
“That’s great!” the children cheered.
“Mommy, we’ll come and help you with the cleaning,” Robbie voiced out. “We can’t let you do everything alone.”
Jamie chimed in, “That’s right. I’m a strong boy. I can do a lot of things.”
The little boy proceeded to clenched his fists and showed his mother his muscles.
“I can help Mommy too.”
Ellie sniffled as tears slid down her chin.
“Ellie! Ellie!”
Hearing Ellie’s voice, Fifi suddenly woke up. In the beginning, it spun its head around, looking for the girl. When Fifi realized the children were on the screen, it moved toward the screen and screeched, “Robbie, Jamie, Ellie!”
“Fifi!”
The children were beyond excited to see their pet parrot, and they quickly waved at it.
“Miss you. Miss you,” Fifi repeated at the screen.
The children scrambled to appear on the screen.
“Fifi, we miss you too.”
“Oh no. Fifi, why is your wing hurt?”
“Fifi’s hurt because it tried to protect me, but a vet has already checked it. Fifi’s fine now. It’ll make a full recovery soon,” Charlotte assured. “Robbie, Jamie, Ellie, the three of you have to be good kids. Wait for me to come for you, okay?”
“Okay. We’ll be good kids.”
Charlotte’s heart was filled with hope as she looked at her children.
After consoling her children, Charlotte went home. Reaching her house, she realized the landlady had changed the door lock and stuck a large notice on the door, warning Charlotte to contact her as soon as she could.
Frightened out of her wits, Charlotte quickly called the landlady.
When the landlady rushed over, she jabbed a finger in Charlotte’s direction and started cursing at her. After telling Charlotte she would not be refunding her the deposit and rent, she demanded her to pay thirty thousand as a penalty and even told her to move out by the end of the day.
Charlotte tried to reason with her, but the landlady stated, “Ever since you moved in, bad things kept happening. I’ve already closed an eye on those who came here to cause a ruckus. But it’s only getting worse. Now, there’s even mr and kidnapping. What kind of place do you think this is?”
“Ms. Hill, please allow me to explain-”
“I don’t want to hear your excuse. Move out immediately, or I’ll call the cops on you,” Peyton warned with a growl. “I’ve been kind to you by not calling the cops and throwing your things out. I’ve even waited for you to come back to discuss with you.”
