She helplessly looked at the few men and spoke, resignedly: "Alright, go out. Be off with you, go fight outside."
Charlotte quietly tidied up the kitchen.
Somehow, the image of Justin Battleson inexplicably came into her mind.
Furthermore, she couldn’t help but wonder if he would be the same kind of person as Oliver Hudson.
Distant, harsh, cold-hearted.
However, Charlotte soon realized there was something amiss about her train of thought.
She quickly slapped her own forehead, somewhat speechless, and couldn’t help but silently chide herself.
"Why am I thinking about him? It’s strange."
"Whether he’s like Oliver Hudson or not, it has nothing to do with me!"
Jordan Thompson, holding a bouquet of roses in one hand and holding Hank Thompson’s hand in the other, walked out from the kitchen in a sorry state.
Right after they stepped out, Annie immediately ran up excitedly to hold tightly onto Jordan’s leg.
She raised her head and in her baby voice said, "Uncle, uncle, want to eat flower."
Jordan looked at Annie who was salivating over the roses and couldn’t help but sigh, saying with a smile, "Annie, be good, you can’t eat this flower. Uncle will give you a sweet treat to eat."
Hank quickly understood and pulled a piece of candy from his pocket. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI★Fire.net
He conveniently tore open the wrapper and held it up to Jordan.
Jordan put the candy into Annie’s little mouth.
He held his head in his hands as he watched the adorable little Annie and suddenly hatched a plan.
"Annie, your uncle made your mommy angry. Do you want to help uncle to soothe your mommy?"
As Annie chewed on her candy, her cute plump cheeks looked just like a little goldfish.
"Soothe, Annie soothe mommy."
As expected, giving Annie a candy made everything easier.
Jordan was overjoyed. He nodded at Hank and gave him a "wink". They had saved their hides.
Indeed, Uncle Jordan, the veteran, was skilled.
Hank nodded in agreement, then gave Jordan a thumbs up.
Charlotte was dealing with a lively fish in the kitchen when she heard a knock on the door.
She washed her hands and went over to open the door.
There she found Annie holding a small flower, mumbling to herself with a milk-stained mouth.
Annie looked a little messy, but in Charlotte’s eyes, she was incredibly adorable.
Charlotte’s heart melted on seeing her. She squatted down and hugged Annie.
"What’s the matter, baby?" her voice was very soft, extraordinarily tender.
Annie, with her innocent voice, leaned into Charlotte’s ear and whispered: "Mommy, uncle wants me to appease you."
After Annie finished speaking, she seriously handed the rose in her hand to Charlotte.
Charlotte looked at Annie’s pouting lips with a helpless smile.
She squatted down and laughed, revealing a dimple at the corner of her mouth. The dimple was intoxicatingly sweet.
"Annie, be good, mommy is a bit busy, can you go out first?"
It was only when Annie saw Charlotte’s smile that she felt she had fulfilled the task her uncle had given her.
Thereupon, she ran back to the living room cheerfully after nodding her head.
Charlotte quickly prepared five dishes and a soup, and asked Jordan to bring them out.
The delicious dishes under the warm yellow light, looked quite appetizing.
After dinner, Charlotte checked the time, and feeling it was still early, let Jordan entertain them.
She decided to return to her room to take care of some work matters.
On her way past the kitchen, she noticed again the bouquet of red roses that Justin Battleson had given her.
After pondering for a moment, she casually found a vase and placed them in it.
