Charlotte pouted. "I am already being nice to him."
Christopher looked at her. "Really, Charlotte?"
Charlotte's happy and jolly face turned into a sad and lifeless face. "He hates me?"
Christopher sighed. He looked at Kaylee for a while and let go of her hand. He walked toward Charlotte and held both of her shoulders. "Char, look at me."
Charlotte looked at him with teary eyes. "What? He really hates me?"
Christopher poked her forehead. "Silly girl, of course not."
"Then, why did he leave like that? He didn't love me."
Kaylee blinked. 'What is this? Charlotte and Liam? ' She thought to herself.
Christopher tucked her hair behind her ears. "He did, Char."
Charlotte shook her head. "No, he didn't."
Christopher sighed again. "He did. If not, he's not going to tolerate your mood swings."
Charlotte's face lit up. "Really? Are you sure he loves me, not because he sees me as his little sister?"
Christopher blinked and didn't respond. He's not sure what Liam really feels about his sister because Liam doesn't say anything, so he can't give her an answer. He just knew that Liam cared for Charlotte so much. He can't let his sister's hopes up.
Charlotte looked at Kaylee and smiled weakly. "Kaylee."
Kaylee looked at her and smiled. She handed her bag to Christopher and opened her arms to Charlotte. "Come," she said.
Charlotte ran toward her and hugged her as her tears fell from her eyes.
Kaylee caressed her back as she cried into her shoulder.
Christopher's heart ached. Seeing his sister cry was too much for him to handle. He walked toward them and patted Kaylee's head as he caressed Charlotte's shoulder. "Let's go inside."
Charlotte let go of Kaylee and wiped her tears with her hand. She awkwardly laughed and clung her arm to Kaylee's. "Let's go. Mom is waiting inside."
Kaylee let out a sigh. Christopher held her from the back while Charlotte was clinging to her left arm and Christopher was on her right side.
"Where's Mom?" Christopher asked Charlotte.
Charlotte looked at him. "Dining room, she's preparing our lunch."
Christopher nodded.
Charlotte let go of Kaylee's arm and awkwardly looked at them. "I'll be there in a minute. I need to fix myself before Mom kicks my ass."
Kaylee looked at Christopher; he just nodded at Charlotte and then Charlotte went upstairs.
Charlotte is a sweet girl, but a moody one. She wants the attention of the people she cares about. She's always doing crazy stuff to make them notice her more. She's responsible, but a fragile one. The thing she was afraid of was being forgotten by someone she really cared about. That's why she is always bothering everyone around her, just to make sure they never forget about her. That's when she's not around, people will notice that she's not.
She's very close to Christopher, which is why Christopher knows about her feelings toward Liam. Christopher is like a human diary to her. If she likes someone or wants to do something weird, she will always tell Christopher about that. Christopher's opinion is very important to her.
"Be careful," Christopher yelled when Charlotte ran while climbing upstairs.
"Don't worry about me; worry about yourself. You know Mom hated to wait," Charlotte yelled back.
Christopher laughed. "I know right."
Hi, I'm here again hehe! I'm doing my very best lol! But I think I really need an editor. LOL
Kaylee held Christopher's arm when they reached the dining room.
His mom is preparing the table together with their maids. When she noticed them, she looked up to see Kaylee and Christopher side by side with Kaylee's hand on her son's arm.
Kaylee's grip tightened when she saw how intimidating Christopher's mom was. When she first met her, she was different, at that time there was no serious relationship between her and Christopher, but now. She is now Christopher's woman, and she's here to be introduced to his family.
She casually smiled as she walked toward her son and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Christopher held his mom back and gave her a kiss, too. "We're home, Mom."
Kaylee blinked. 'We're home?'
Christopher's Mom looked at Kaylee and plainly said. "Welcome."
...
Liam stepped on the brake and parked the car on the sidewalk. He leaned his head on the steering wheel and closed his eyes.
He can still visualize Charlotte's face when he leaves the Mansion. He didn't know what came into his mind to drive away just like that.
He was used to how Charlotte was. It's just that he doesn't want to get involved in the situation right now. He was well-aware that Charlotte would invite him in if he didn't leave right away. He can't say no to her; this is not the right time to join them there.
He slightly lifted his head, his arm still leaning on the steering wheel, as he took his phone out of his pocket.
Upon unlocking his phone. He smiled as he saw the picture of him and Charlotte in his screen wallpaper.
It was taken during their first meeting when he and Christopher decided to work together. Charlotte was there when he signed the contract under Jarvis Empire as Christopher's personal assistant. Since then, Charlotte has treated her like he was her friend, even though they had just met.
That's one reason he admires Charlotte so much. She's easy to get along with, and the way she treats others is priceless. The fact that she's too bothersome makes her cute.
They have several photos together, but he wanted that first photo of them to be his screen wallpaper. Charlotte asked him to take a photo with him as a token of his first day as her brother's personal assistant. She asked him to take care of her brother and treat him well.
In the photo, Charlotte's left arm is on Liam's, and her right index finger is pinned to Liam's head, with a bright smile on her face.
Liam opened his messages and started to compose a message to Charlotte.
'I'm sorry for leaving immediately. I have work to do, and I just dropped Topher and Kaylee there. I hope everything went well, and enjoy.'
Liam read it once again before sending the message to Charlotte.
After a minute his phone beeps and there was a message from Charlotte.
From: Char
It's okay. I thought you hated me and didn't want to see me anymore. Tell me if I am bothering you. Take care.
Liam sighed and typed a message again.
To Char
That makes you so cute.
He smiled as he tapped the send button. He returned his phone to his coat pocket, started the car, and drove away.
