CHAPTER 1608: CHAPTER 1608: LITTLE HEARTLESS ONE

However, Charlotte Thompson immediately adopted an impenetrable demeanor.

She stepped over to the balcony and thoughtfully opened the glass door for Justin Battleson.

Before Charlotte, facing the balcony, could turn around, she was already pulled into Justin’s embrace.

"Such a little heartless one."

Justin rested his chin on Charlotte’s shoulder, his warm breath whispering into her ear.

Though his words were like that, Justin’s voice was full of indulgence and helplessness.

Justin knew well that Charlotte was probably upset today because of what happened.

"Well, Mr. Battleson seems to not quite understand me, huh."

Charlotte chuckled lightly and patted Justin’s hand, signaling him to let her go.

After all, Justin had sneaked into her room, and if her brothers found out, who knew what would happen.

Besides, Charlotte wanted to take this chance to teach Justin a lesson.

Justin clicked his tongue softly, then pinched Charlotte’s chin to turn her face around, intending to give her a light punitive bite on the lips, but in the end, he couldn’t bear to and only planted a gentle kiss on the corner of her mouth.

Looking at Charlotte’s delicate face, Justin couldn’t help but tease her.

"The way we snoop around like this, it’s almost as if..."

Before Justin could finish the latter half of his sentence, Charlotte punched him lightly on the shoulder.

Finally, Justin resignedly glanced at the sill, sighing inwardly.

Despite being a dignified CEO, to see his own wife, he had to resort to this.

After Justin left, Charlotte’s room returned to silence, and she lay back on her bed, but her heart was no longer the same as before.

Unbeknownst to Charlotte, Justin had just left and was meeting with another person.

"Did my sister kick you out?"

James Thompson leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, scrutinizing Justin Battleson with a mysterious smile on his lips.

However, Justin chose to ignore the teasing in James’ words, straightened the creases on his clothes, and nodded to James.

"Thank you."

In truth, without James today, it would’ve been much harder for Justin to see Charlotte.

"That’s not the light thank you I’m looking for."

James nonchalantly lifted his eyes, being the most exquisite of the Thompson brothers, the moonlight cast on his face, giving an unreal feeling.

"And if it weren’t for me today, you and that woman... though you should know, the news online has been suppressed but not erased."

Justin’s expression turned a shade colder, fully aware of what James meant.

The rumors about him and Riley on the internet had been cleared up, yet to Justin, the matter felt like a stain on him.

"I will handle this matter properly."

Justin spoke in a calm tone, but beneath his eyes lay a tumultuous tide.

For some matters and some people, Justin had never taken any action, as he never wanted to be too absolute. However, now the situation seemed completely different.
