‘Zachary! He knows Night King!’“Really?” Night King came to a stop and stroked his mask with his finger. “Zachary, you’re the one who should face reality. You’re right. You have two kids with Carlie now, but don’t forget that you two ended your marriage four years ago. She’s single right now, so anyone has the right to make a move on her.” Zachary opened his thin lips, but no words came out of his teeth.Night King turned around and offered him a confident smile. “Besides, Zachary, after so many things, she already knows how I feel about her. Didn't you see her take my hand just now? This shows that she has a thing for me as well, so this time, it's still unclear which one of us will be the ultimate winner.”Zachary’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.Charlotte felt like weeping but had no tears to cry. Her emotions had gotten the better of her, and that was why she had taken Night King’s hand just now. What he’d said was not true.‘Night King! How can you make
Poopoo raised his soft, tender little hand and pointed at the distribution room. “They’re locked in that room.”Bam!Zachary kicked the door to the distribution room open.Poopoo’s adoptive parents were both tied up on two separate chairs, and their mouths were firmly gagged with adhesive tape.Poopoo’s adoptive mother was taken aback when she saw Charlotte. The woman’s name was Lillian Myers, and her husband’s name was David Harlow.Charlotte walked over and tore off the adhesive tape on Lillian’s mouth. Then, Lillian exclaimed, “Miss Green, I met you at the park when I came to Rothesay! Our family was kidnapped a few days ago and brought back to Rothesay, and you’re the one who saved us. What a coincidence!”“This is no coincidence. The kidnapper called me and asked me for ransom to save you.” Charlotte smiled at Lillian as she untied her.“Huh? Did that actually happen? Why would the kidnapper call you?” Lillian was taken aback.Charlotte curled her lips. “Because the kidnap
However, Poopoo raised his incomparably handsome little face and stared at Lillian and David. Crystalline tears welled up in his large, ink-black eyes.He had been living with Lillian and David for as long as he could remember.In his heart, the pair of them were his real mother and father. He couldn't bear to leave them.However, even though his childish mind couldn’t comprehend the adult world, he knew that he had no choice now… He had to leave them!He didn’t cry, though.He wanted to be a man and never cry no matter how sad the situation was.“Sigh!”Charlotte was extremely sad at the sight of Poopoo’s expression. She gently pinched his cheek.“Poopoo, I know you don’t want to leave them, but that’s just how life goes. There are many times when we have to be temporarily separate from people we care about. Uh… However, this is only temporary. Your adoptive parents will visit you very often in the future.”“Yes! Yes!”Lillian hurriedly chimed in. “Julian, she’s your real
She could not see any emotion in his icy pupils.“I’d like to offer you a job that pays 3,100 dollars a month per person. Will you accept it?”“Huh?” The man was both shocked and elated. “Yes, of course we will!”Lillian was overjoyed as well. “Mr. Connor, we never even dared imagine the high salary you just offered. If you really could give us a high-paying job like that, we’d be ever so grateful to you. But… Sigh! But we are just average employees. We don’t have any special skills. We’re afraid we won’t be competent enough for the job you’ve offered us…”“I want you to be my son’s full-time nannies. From now on, you will treat him just like you’ve always treated him—you’ll feed him, take him and pick him up from school, and play with him. Can you do that?” Zachary asked, his face as perfect as a glacier.“Uh…”Lillian and David looked at each other, then answered in unison, “Yes!”Charlotte was taken aback.Zachary opened his thin lips. “Get in the car.”“Yes, Mr. Connor.”
She took Poopoo’s little hand as she said this and pointed at Platinum Coast.“Look, baby, can you see the villa by the beach? Isn’t it big? Isn’t it beautiful? This is mommy’s home. From now on, this will be your home too. Come on, get out of the car with mommy.”She got out of the vehicle and held Poopoo, trying to lead him out of the car.Then, Zachary’s icy voice suddenly rang out.“You get out of the car. Leave my son in here.”‘What?’Charlotte’s graceful, pretty figure wavered as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head. Even the little four-year-old boy could sense Zachary’s intimidating aura. He released Charlotte’s hand and stayed in the car. He widened his large, abstruse eyes, too afraid to leave the vehicle.“I… I don’t understand…”Charlotte calmed herself after a long pause before rediscovering her voice.“Zachary, I’ve endured so many hardships to finally find our son. I should be living with him. Why won’t you let him come home with me? Wh
Charlotte had arrived home.Even though she couldn’t be with Poopoo, the thought of being reconciled with him and the fact that he was safe and sound were good enough for her.Charlotte had never had any stability since regaining her memories…Now, she could finally have a good night’s rest. She went to the living room, collapsed on the couch, and quickly fell asleep.Bam!A loud noise startled Charlotte.She turned and opened her heavy eyelids. Before she could have a clear view of her surroundings, she heard a respectful voice say, “Ah! So sorry, Miss. Mr. Gold mentioned how exhausted you are and that you need rest. He even told us specifically not to wake you. It’s all my fault for being so clumsy. I’ve disturbed your sleep.”“It’s fine…”Charlotte sat up on the couch and saw a housekeeper standing not too far away with a broom lying at her feet. That heavy noise had probably been the housekeeper accidentally dropping the broom while she was sweeping.The housekeeper smiled
“The General Hospital of Rothesay, call me when you’ve arrived. I’ll wait for you at the gate of the ward building.” Charlotte got rid of the toast that she had just taken a bite out of and dashed toward the door without even washing her face.“Miss, you haven’t eaten anything for 24 hours. Why are you running around after eating only such a small amount of food? Come back and eat some more…” The caregiver nagged anxiously.Unfortunately, Charlotte had disappeared from her sight long ago.Charlotte, who could not wait to see Nicholas, drove to the General Hospital of Rothesay at almost the speed of a race.When she reached the hospital entrance, she realized that there was no way to drive her car into the hospital.The hospital’s courtyard was packed with people as if it was a shopping mall that was having huge sales. And there were many reporters among these people.Charlotte was now a very well-known celebrity and could not make public appearances in crowded places. Therefore,
Nicholas strode to Charlotte and embraced her excitedly. “Sister Carlie, my sister told me that you changed your appearance after I woke up. Although you have someone else’s face, I can recognize you at first glance. Your figure and temperament haven’t changed a bit.”Charlotte patted Nicholas’s back with both hands as tears started gushing down. “Nicky, although you’ve been in a coma for more than four years, you’ve grown up by four years too. But you’re still as reckless as you were four years ago. You’ll smother me to death if you continue to embrace me like this.”Only then did Nicholas realize that he was hugging Charlotte too tightly, so he released her immediately, looked down at her face carefully, and smiled with tears.“My sister told me that Zachary had asked the doctors to take care of me on your behalf for the past four years. He’s also asked the doctor to wake me up with a rare medication because of you. So I may have never woken up again if it weren’t for you. Thank y
