Chapter 63
“By the way, I met Charlotte and Mr. Weasley yesterday at their suite,” Caroline admitted when they were on the way to the restaurant that belonged to Oliver Weasley.
“I figured that out already,” Artemis said with a smile and held her hand. “You don’t have to get nervous about anything. You can share it if you want to. If you don’t want to share it, then it’s also it’s totally fine.”
“Actually... did I tell you before that I love you?”
“No.”
“I love you, honey.”
“I love you too, Regina,” Artemis replies, caressing her hair.
“Actually, the reason why Mr. Weasley… I love you, Artemis!!... so where I was… yes, he gave you those ten minutes without getting angry at you or lashing his anger at you… I love you so much!!... that’s because of me! That’s why I showed up all of a sudden at that moment beside you.” Caroline finally said and saw Artemis hearing her calmly.
“You didn’t possess them, did you?”
“Nooo!!” She quickie replied. “We.. we knew each other.” She told him, and before he would have started using his mind, she added. “But I didn’t ask him to give you the deal or anything like that but yes, you… you got the first ten minutes because of me.” She explained so that he wouldn’t feel bad or he wouldn’t think that his efforts and his handwork had nothing to do with his success.

“OH. MY. GAAWWDD!” Charlotte said, widening her eyes, seeing Caroline in a dress wearing a pair of diamond earrings. Otherwise, she used to wear at least four to five rings in her left ear and used to keep another ear empty on a regular basis OR didn’t use to wear earrings at all. She used to give the reason that she couldn’t handle wearing heavy diamonds. Not just Caroline had a habit of wearing gowns at parties whenever she used to attend the party. She hated wearing anything that used to reveal her long legs, and here she was, wearing a dress above her knees.
She stood from her chair to hug her cousin and also to tease her.
“Someone is looking like a typical girl.” She teased, giving her a tight hug. “I can’t wait to see you wearing a colorful dress someday.” She added, breaking the hug.
“Let my time come!!” Caroline muttered, rolling her eyes.
Charlotte looked at Artemis and walked toward him, giving him a side hug, “I can see; it’s your effect on her, BIL.”
Artemis chuckled at her words and hugged her. Caroline only got a chance to tell about Oliver Weasley as her uncle, and they knew each other before she would have got an opportunity to explain more. She received Colton’s message asking about her return because now everyone was getting worried for her, and the topic ended at that place for a while because she got busy messaging her brother.
When Caroline reached the restaurant, she quickly explained to both Charlotte and her uncle not to disclose the truth of the relationship that they shared because she wanted to do it on her own.
So, at that time, Artemis just thought of Oliver Weasley as Caroline’s uncle, but his mind didn’t go into detail that they could be closely related.
“I’m sorry if we are late. But I thought the time of lunch is 13:00,” Artemis said when he saw that Charlotte was already there even when they arrived at 12:50. But Oliver Weasley wasn’t around.
“Oh, no, no, no!! You’re not late. We’re early. Dad wanted to prepare the lunch on his own, so we came here early.”
‘Wow, a Michelin star chef is preparing food, especially for us. And I guess the credit goes to my mate.’ Artemis thought in his mind.
‘It also means that she knew about Oliver and Rebecca Weasley even in Madrid when we first told her about them.’ Bolt pointed out.
‘Hmm. But let’s not think about that. We should be happy that she finally told us something related to her. Soon, she will share everything with us.’
‘I’m waiting for that day. Once that happens, we can take her parent’s permission and then can marry her in front of the whole world as well.’
‘True.’
“I hope I didn’t take a lot of time.” He heard Oliver’s voice, and Artemis started, standing when Oliver kept his hand on his shoulder and signaled him to keep sitting.
“Ahem! Ahem! I can barely recognize my princess.” Oliver teased, looking at Caroline, on which she turned a shade darker. “I have prepared all your and Artemis’s favorite food today.”, he added, keeping formalities aside. While Caroline just smiled, Artemis opened his mouth because this was the first time he was meeting someone who was related to Caroline. So, he needed to make a good impression, keeping his work aside. Now, he could also understand why Oliver was testing him like a father figure.
“I had never thought that someone like you would prepare all my favorite food,” Artemis said. “Thank you, Mr. Wea…”
“Uncle Oliver.” Oliver corrected him.
A smile appeared on his lips, realizing that he had already received the green signal from Oliver, and he nodded his head. “Uncle Oliver.”
“Only Caro has a copyright on ‘Uncle Oli, ’” Charlotte joked, and soon a waiter came over with the starters.
