Charlotte looked at Justin in front of her, feeling shy. "Maybe I should eat by myself?" she suggested.
Her proposal was immediately vetoed by Grace, "No, no, mommy, let daddy feed you."
Indeed, kids love to see drama unfold.
Justin chuckled from time to time, "Just feeding porridge, there’s nothing to be shy about."
Unexpectedly, her first spoon of porridge almost led to her choking by Justin’s performance.
Having finally managed to get through that ordeal, Charlotte felt the urge to pee.
"Sweetie, mommy just needs to go to the bathroom." As she prepared to get off the bed, Hank held her back.
Grace ran quickly, "Mommy, wait for me."
The result was her bringing Justin into the room, their eyes met.
"What are you up to?" she asked.
"Mommy, let daddy carry you to the toilet!" Grace was like a miniature boss, orchestrating Justin’s actions.
Charlotte’s refusal brought on a wave of cajoling from the children.
In the end, it was Justin who carried her to the bathroom, and Charlotte felt like she’d lost all face.
As for the sentimentality she’d felt earlier about her kids’ understanding, it was completely exhausted now.
Unable to withstand the torment of the children any longer, she called Jordan from the bathroom in secret.
His voice came over the phone, "Sis, are you done showing off your love with Justin? If you are, I’ll come back."
The call made her roll her eyes. She thought how this was not something she chose to show off, it was clearly a difficult situation for her.
So she said, "Just come back and take these children away quickly, otherwise..."
Jordan laughed heartily, "Or else what? They are just worried about you."
Charlotte leaned against the wall, her eyes fixed on the entrance, afraid that Grace would barge in and discover her.
"I don’t care, just come and take them away quickly." Charlotte hung up the phone.
Upon exiting, she finally didn’t have a bunch of children surrounding her and sheaved a sigh of relief, clutching her chest.
Out of nowhere, Justin appeared, "Looking for me?"
Caught off guard, Charlotte gasped.
She patted his back, taking deep breaths, "Where are the children?"
Her question left her uneasy.
Justin shrugged and shook his head.
Charlotte was relieved, "Did Jordan take them?"
Justin nodded, a smile on his face.
The pair was worn out from just a short period of dealing with the kids.
Afterwards, Justin took Charlotte for a check-up, and once confirmed that everything was okay, they went home.
In the car, in the passenger’s seat, Charlotte rolled down the window wide, "This is so comfortable, I won’t get a heatstroke now!"
The cool night breeze swept over her neck, carrying the scent of roadside plants and wildflowers, very refreshing.
However, her good mood came to a halt as the car window slowly rolled up.
Charlotte was a bit annoyed, frustration showing on her face.
She glared at Justin’s nonchalant profile, expressing her inner dissatisfaction.
Justin stifled a laugh, turned his head, and with a touch of irreverence, explained, "I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold."
Charlotte’s chest heaved with a lack of words to utter.
Since she couldn’t enjoy the view, she thought she might as well surf her phone.
She proficiently opened Weibo, only to find her name in two trending hashtags. This update is available on novel⸺fire.net

"What’s going on?" puzzled, Charlotte clicked on the Weibo post.
After seeing the pictures, her anger peaked.
Turns out, her kiss with Justin in the closet was secretly photographed and exposed.
