Aveline and Francis glanced up at Beaumont, their expressions seeking confirmation. Beaumont nodded in response to Audrey's introduction and addressed the children.
"That's correct, Lady Aveline and Sir Francis. Mademoiselle Audrey will be your new caretaker. She will take care of both of you while your parents are away, as they are busy with their work," Beaumont explained in a matter-of-fact tone.
Upon hearing this, Aveline's eyes widened with concern. "What does that mean? Mama and Papa won't take care of us anymore?"
"That is not true, Lady Aveline," Beaumont reassured her gently. "Your parents still love you very much, but they have important responsibilities as the First Consul and the owner of enterprises. They have entrusted Mademoiselle Audrey to ensure your well-being and happiness when they are occupied with their duties."
"No…I can't accept this! I want to talk to Papa," Aveline protested.
