"So, what does Mr. Ross mean by that?"
Charlotte was rendered speechless, her voice tinged with unease. His words had somewhat affected her.
She lifted her eyes to look at Adam Ross. The dim lighting cast fluctuating shadows across his face, his gaze somber.
"Just as Miss Thompson has in mind, if Miss Thompson is willing to do me this favor, I hope she can return the custody of the child to me."
Adam Ross appeared calm. He was looking intently at Charlotte, who was not showing the disdain she was earlier. Instead, she now looked somewhat relieved. Read full story at novel⦿fire.net
"Mr. Ross, it’s simply your word against mine for now. However, I can arrange for you to visit the children,"
"Really?" Adam Ross seemed barely able to believe it, his voice filled with surprise, as if he had not anticipated such a straightforward agreement from Charlotte.
"Mr. Ross, to be honest, I initially didn’t think you were a good father. But what you just said made me think maybe I was wrong. If you want to see your children, I can arrange that."
Charlotte said faintly, raising her eyes to look at the man in front of her.
Upon hearing her words, the distress on his face was immediately replaced by relief.
With a smile in his eyes, he reached out, unable to resist grasping Charlotte’s hand.
The sudden warmth from his cool hand caught Charlotte off guard.
She reflexively withdrew her hand, a faint, unnatural smile flickered across her face.
Her voice was faint, her expression composed.
Adam Ross’ reaction left her no choice but to confirm his genuine concern for the children.
"Thank you, Charlotte, thank you."
It was rare for Adam Ross to show such emotion in public.
He sighed, seemingly surprised that Charlotte would give him this opportunity.
A hint of amusement flashed through Charlotte’s eyes. She pursed her lips slightly.
In the dim light, she seemed to see a mischievous smile on Adam Ross’s face.
But it was only momentarily, Charlotte blinked, trying to see him more clearly, only to find that the grateful look was all that remained on Adam Ross’s face.
"Let’s do this, Mr. Ross, I will get the children’s opinions, and once we’ve determined the time and place, I’ll let you know, okay?"
Charlotte was exhausted, her voice light and soft.
"Of course, as you know, if you’re willing, you can always be the mother of the kids," Adam Ross’s face showed consideration, he seemed very pleased with Charlotte’s current attitude.
As if she’d given him another chance to get close to the kids.
"We’ll see," Charlotte responded lazily, her smiling face somewhat distant. She was ready to leave.
"Would you like me to see you home?"
Adam Ross asked with a smile. He turned towards her making it look as if he was embracing her from others’ point of view.
"Hmm?" Charlotte felt a little uneasy about Adam Ross’s sudden overture. She smiled, shook her head.
Feeling somewhat unsettled by Adam Ross’s sudden change of attitude, Charlotte was not used to.
Then, she heard Adam Ross chuckle under his breath, "Actually, there’s no need for all the hassle. I have a perfect solution."
Adam Ross grinned mysteriously, which aroused Charlotte’s vigilance.
"Oh? Mr. Ross, do you have some other plan?"
"Of course," Adam Ross said with a smirk. "We could be together. I would be the children’s daddy, and you their mommy. That sounds perfect to me. Why not?"
