"Don’t any of you care about the new design I’m introducing? I’m so heartbroken. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this design."
Charlotte Thompson’s seemingly aggrieved expression instantly inspired a feeling of guilt among the netizens tuned into her live stream.
"Who said we’re not interested in your design?"
"I absolutely love this design. I truly share Riley Group’s aesthetic taste. Whatever you design, I simply adore."
"The concept of this design is really amazing!"
Unbeknownst to them, Charlotte had skillfully steered the topic of the live discussion to a completely new direction.
With this, Charlotte secretly heaved a sigh of relief and picked a few questions to interact with her audience.
However, what she hadn’t noticed was the convolution in Justin Battleson’s gaze as he watched her from the side.
Due to time constraints, the live stream ended quickly, leaving the audience wanting more. Particularly those with a taste for gossip were unsatiated and could only search for juicy bits in the replay.

This hashtag immediately trended as number one on Weibo, with a sustained high volume of discussions.
After the interview formally ended, Charlotte finally relaxed, intending to get herself a cup of coffee. As she turned to ask Justin if he wanted a cup, she found herself lightly embraced from the waist and pulled into a firm chest in the next moment. For more chapters visit novel·fire.net
Charlotte paused for a moment, feeling Justin resting his chin on her shoulder.
On instinct, she put down the cup in her hand and laid her palm on the pair of hands encircling her waist.
Justin Battleson was murmuring softly next to her ear. His tone was filled with endless affection that made Charlotte’s heart slightly tremble.
Charlotte responded softly, only to feel the grip on her waist tighten.
Sensing something, a shadow of confusion crossed Charlotte’s eyes: "What’s the matter?"
"Charlotte, we will remarry, right?"
Justin was testing the waters with his words, but he could distinctly feel her body stiffen in his arms.
Charlotte’s voice sounded a bit hoarse as she struggled to find the right thing to say next.
Justin heard her and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He had always planned on remarrying, but there had been so many things happening that he hadn’t found the right moment to bring up the topic.
However, today’s live stream made Justin slightly panic.
He didn’t miss the fact that Charlotte was avoiding the topic of remarriage.
Withdrawing her hand from around her waist, Charlotte turned to face Justin.
Such an unexpected move left Justin at a loss.
Out of a certain cowardice, he averted his gaze, afraid to see any discontent or indifference in her eyes. A sense of inexplicable discomfort filled his heart.
Justin inadvertently tightened his grip.
However, Charlotte was looking at Justin in surprise.
This was the first time she had seen such an expression on Justin’s face.
Awkwardness, sadness, and an air of extreme carefulness filled his face.
In Charlotte’s memory, Justin had always been a strong and confident man.
But the Justin she was seeing now was completely different.
He looked like a child who had done something wrong.
"Ahem... I’m sorry, Charlotte. I was too hasty."
The look on Charlotte’s face had left Justin feeling somewhat at a loss. He regretted his impulsive words earlier.
After clearing his throat, Justin composed himself again, reaching for the coffee cup by Charlotte’s hand.
Seeing this, Charlotte reached out her hand and hooked Justin’s fingers.
