"Annie, since you’re living here alone now, why don’t you move in and live with us?"
Thinking of this, Charlotte voiced her proposal.
She knew Annie must miss Olivia dearly, so living together would also allow her to see Olivia every day.
However, while patting Olivia’s back, Annie shook her head, "Let’s not. If I really moved in with you, I probably wouldn’t need to eat at all." The source of this content ɪs novᴇlfire.net
"What do you mean by that?" Charlotte was completely puzzled.
Annie couldn’t help but cover her mouth, hiding the smirk at the corner of her lips, "Because I’d have to endure your and Justin Battleson’s lovey-dovey acts every day."
Realizing Annie was joking, Charlotte couldn’t help but glare at her reproachfully.
"But I’ve thought about moving nearby earlier, so I could frequently visit you and the kids," Annie said.
Charlotte nodded, "If you really plan on doing that, then I’ll keep an eye out for you."
"Thanks," Annie said in appreciation.
"Why say things like that between us?" Charlotte shook her head.
After Olivia had fully calmed down, Annie, noticing it was getting late, worried about Charlotte and Olivia staying too late, so she didn’t keep them.
Charlotte also knew that Annie had just been discharged from the hospital and needed rest, so she prepared to leave with Olivia.
As they were leaving, Annie grabbed an umbrella next to the shoe cabinet.
"It’s going to rain outside, take the umbrella with you."
There were no signs of rain outside yet, but since Annie mentioned it and Charlotte hadn’t checked the weather forecast, she accepted the umbrella without refusing.
"Then I’ll take Olivia home first, and I’ll bring the kids to see you in a couple of days," Charlotte said.
"Alright, be careful on your way back," Annie instructed.
"Mommy goodbye, Annie will miss you," Olivia gave Annie a hug before leaving.
Annie affectionately kissed Olivia’s cheek, "Mommy will always miss you."
After the mother and daughter said goodbye, Annie saw them out the door.
What Charlotte didn’t know was that the moment she and Olivia turned around, the gentle smile that had hung on Annie’s face instantly vanished completely.
Her clear eyes also became hollow.
As Charlotte and Olivia passed through the corridor heading towards the parking lot, they unexpectedly encountered someone.
It was Oliver Hudson.
However, Charlotte wasn’t surprised to run into Oliver Hudson.
"Mr. Hudson," Charlotte nodded to him.
Oliver Hudson pressed his lips together and returned a smile to Charlotte.
He also noticed Olivia beside Charlotte, his throat moving slightly, "Are you here to see Annie?"
"We couldn’t find a chance to visit when Annie was discharged, so we took the opportunity today and brought Annie along," Charlotte nodded, her voice neutral.
Having not seen Oliver Hudson for a long time, she seemed to have slimmed down quite a bit.
But his affairs had nothing to do with her.
Holding Charlotte’s hand, Olivia softly greeted Oliver Hudson.
"Annie..." Oliver Hudson looked at Olivia tenderly, but Olivia took a half step back behind Charlotte.
Oliver Hudson naturally knew Olivia’s reluctance towards him, yet hearing Olivia call him dad filled his heart with satisfaction.
"Thank you for always taking care of Annie."
After a moment’s hesitation, Charlotte still spoke out.
