Solomon stoically said, “Young Madam, Young Master Benedict is still waiting for his lunch delivery.”Charlotte, “...”To be honest, it was safer to act dumb as a bodyguard.The staff at Schuller Industries knew Charlotte, thus she could walk straight into the CEO’s office unobstructed with that face of hers. She did not even need the secretary to inform Benedict first. She reached the door to the CEO’s office and knocked on it.Once she opened the door to enter, she caught sight of Benedict working in front of the computer. When he heard the sounds, he looked up and glanced at her before continuing his work.Charlotte looked at the man who was sitting in her father’s seat and felt bitter.Her father intended to raise her as a career woman to be his successor.Unfortunately, she did not have a knack for the business world and was destined to disappoint him.Later on, her father poured all of his efforts into training Alexander, wanting to make the young man the next business mo

Charlotte calmly answered despite facing Benedict’s cold gaze, “Of course, I learned how to cook for my future husband, which is you right now.”She did initially learn how to cook for Alexander, but the ultimate benefactor was going to be her husband and children.As for Alexander, he was her past. She would never in her life again cook for him. He did not need her to toil in the kitchen to make him a meal either.Benedict seemed to be pleased with her answer as his expression softened a little.Charlotte was relieved. She took two pieces of dongpo rou and placed it on Benedict’s rice. “I told my mom that you liked to eat dongpo rou, so she made a lot of it. Have more of it.”‘Is this woman trying to please me?‘She remembers what I like.’Benedict nonchalantly glanced at Charlotte, and under her expectant gaze, he put a piece of dongpo rou into his mouth.Charlotte smiled and asked, “How is it? Is my mom’s cooking good?”Benedict swallowed the piece of meat and casually said

Benedict only quickened his steps when Charlotte turned around.“Get in.”After Charlotte got in the car, Benedict called one of his bodyguards and whispered some instructions before getting in the car.“Where are we going?”Charlotte turned to the side to look at him.Benedict did not answer her but closed his eyes to rest. He did not ask the driver to drive either.Charlotte was filled with questions, but she dared not ask further.After about ten minutes, someone knocked on the car window. A bag was passed over.Charlotte took a look and noticed that it seemed like a box of medication. ‘Is Benedict unwell?’Benedict took the two tubes of ointment and glanced through the leaflet that came with them. Then, he passed one to Charlotte.“What is this?”Charlotte curiously looked at the leaflet and blushed immediately.‘Did he ask me to walk in front earlier because he noticed something wrong with my gait?‘I was being very careful, but he still noticed?’Benedict coldly com

‘Why does Lottie have such an expression in front of Benedict?‘What have they been doing in the car that her face looks this red as if she had just been making love?’Alexander could not find the words to describe his current feelings after seeing Charlotte in such a condition. All he knew was that he was angry... Furious to be exact.Within that anger was a mix of fear and anxiety.“Benedict, this is the way to my house.”Charlotte’s voice suddenly rang with a happy tone.“Hmm.”Benedict nonchalantly replied.Charlotte was happy to finally get a response. “Shall I call Mr. White to bring Timmy over as well?”Benedict closed his eyes as his slender fingers tapped on the side of the door. He looked relaxed. “Up to you.”Charlotte immediately took her phone and gave a call to Mr. White.After she ended the call, she turned to Benedict and said, “Someone sent some seafood to the house! Let’s have seafood tonight.”‘If Mom knows Benedict is coming over tonight, she’ll be very

The cars ahead finally began to move. At this time, Alexander looked at the Rolls Royce and blurted, “Follow them.”Emmett was taken aback. He tried to control his anger as he reminded Alexander, “Alexander, this isn’t something you should be doing.”Emmett was Alexander’s childhood friend and was the person Alexander trusted the most. They had been through so many obstacles together that nobody could understand the bond they shared.Alexander would always discuss things with Emmett whenever he was faced with a problem. However, right now, Alexander could not be bothered about brotherhood. He insisted angrily, “I said, follow them.”Emmett changed the car’s direction and began tailing the Rolls Royce.Not long after, Benedict realized that Alexander was tailing Charlotte and himself. Nevertheless, he did not stop Alexander.His principle was, ‘Since that person wants to follow me, I will let him do so graciously.’However, Benedict’s expression turned cold after he glanced at Ch

Chapter 76

Alexander gave Eloise a loving hug. His gaze was sharp and cold as he stared at Old Lady Montgomery. “Grandma, Eloise is my woman. Please be mindful of your words.”Old Lady Montgomery was not shocked by his reaction and merely continued to scrutinize Eloise, “This woman doesn’t look stunning, and she doesn’t look graceful enough to be brought into public. However, since you’ve decided, I can’t say much. Personally, I’d rather go up the mountains and get an auspicious date for both of you.”Alexander replied coldly, “Thank you, grandma. However, I don’t have any scrumptious meals to serve you, so I won’t keep you for dinner.”The sky was now dark, and the old lady had not eaten. Alexander was cruel to be chasing her out now.Old Lady Montgomery got up immediately and scowled. “An old lady like me is used to eating simple meals. I wouldn’t be interested even if your house serves luxurious meals. I’m afraid I’d get indigestion if that were the case.”With that said, Old Lady Montgom
