They were very eager to have a father.
Despite having mistaken Robert for their father before, they never took it seriously since she never admitted it explicitly.
However, now that she had told them that Henry was indeed their father, they were thrilled!
She couldn't imagine how heartbreaking it would be for the children to find out that Henry was not their father except for Flora and Octavia.
She did not want to disappoint any of them.
She might as well keep it that way for as long as she could.
Henry was livid as he gritted his teeth. "Charlotte! You just made me a father of nine!"
"That's nothing bad about it," Charlotte said as she tried to put on a smile. "Isn't it good news that you have so many children all of a sudden?"
"Of course not! I'm not their father!" Henry exclaimed.
