Charlotte finished explaining the situation succinctly, looking at the somewhat bewildered expressions of the two little ones in front of her, she couldn't help but reproach herself for discussing such matters with them.
However, Jack thought for a moment and then realized: "Mommy, are you worried that someone will try to take me and Chad away tomorrow?"
"No one can take you two away from me," Charlotte said earnestly.
"But this matter does concern both of you, and Mommy won't hide it."
"But brother and I have always been with you, Mommy, since we were little. You adopted us and raised us, so we are Mommy's children, and there is no one else," Chad said softly.
"I know," Mommy Charlotte reassured them with a nod, pulling Jack into her embrace as well.
"Mommy knows that some things might be difficult for you to understand; frankly, I didn't want to tell you. But Mommy is worried that, without knowing, you might be deceived by bad people."
