CHAPTER 1631: CHAPTER 1631: SHE’S PREPARING A SURPRISE

Charlotte Thompson felt that she was increasingly unable to see through the relationship between Annie Anne and Oliver Hudson.

Perhaps it was also Annie Anne’s change now that made Charlotte feel unfamiliar, and when she thought of Annie Anne at this moment, a difficult-to-express sense of unease was spreading in her heart.

"You also know they’ve been through so much together. These matters cannot be resolved overnight. But now that Annie has been brought back by the two of them, with her there, things might get a little better."

Justin Battleson spoke like this, but it didn’t offer Charlotte much comfort.

Charlotte also understood that if the issues between Annie Anne and Oliver Hudson could be so easily resolved, the two wouldn’t have reached this point.

Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed. Was it a mistake not to firmly intervene in Annie Anne’s actions back then?

"Alright, don’t think too much about it. If you’re really worried, we can visit them someday, okay?" Justin reached out to touch Charlotte’s cheek and spoke reassuringly.

Charlotte nodded, then gently pushed Justin’s shoulder and stepped out of his embrace: "It’s getting late, go rest."

Saying this, Charlotte thoughtfully opened the door for Justin. She didn’t speak further, but her eyes already conveyed the message clearly.

Instantly, Justin’s mood visibly dropped.

"Charlotte..."

Justin murmured pitifully.

Ever since the incident at the hotel last time, although the misunderstanding between him and Charlotte had been cleared up, she had been sending him to the study to sleep these past few days.

However, Charlotte seemed oblivious to the hint in Justin’s eyes and even intentionally stepped forward, standing on tiptoe to give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Goodnight then."

Justin felt like something was constantly scratching at his heart.

Looking at Charlotte’s smiling face, he took a deep breath and pulled her back into his embrace.

"The bed in the study is so hard, I can’t sleep on it." With his chin resting on Charlotte’s shoulder, Justin spoke softly.

"Sleeping on a hard bed is good for your body. If you don’t like it, I can get you a new one." Charlotte knew perfectly well what Justin wanted, but deliberately avoided the main topic.

Justin involuntarily took a deep breath.

Since when had he ever felt so frustrated? He lifted Charlotte’s face, seeing her triumphant smile. Justin wanted to severely punish naughty Charlotte but ultimately couldn’t bear to, only left a kiss at the corner of her lips.

"I’m sleepy, and I have work tomorrow." Charlotte removed Justin’s hand.

Seeing this, Justin had no choice but to let go of Charlotte, but he didn’t notice her subtle sigh when he turned away.

After Justin left, Charlotte returned to her desk, opened the file, revealing the manuscript on top.

At this moment, Charlotte was still somewhat upset with Justin because of the hotel incident, but sending him to the study at night was actually to prepare a surprise for him.

Thinking of how Justin had fallen for it earlier, Charlotte couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

In the middle of the night, the silence in the house was broken by the sound of the door clicking open, and Justin quietly walked in, then carefully closed the door again.
