Chapter 118: As a noble Mrs.Brown
Robert firmly replied, “It’s not suitable for you!”
“Robert, what do you mean? Why am I not suitable anymore? If someone should go, it’s for the sake of your reputation. Do you think I’m doing this for myself?” Charlotte became anxious in an instant, as if stung by a scorpion. “This is a symbol of status. If I don’t attend such events, it will be a loss of identity. Are we in Newport without even this bit of dignity?”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“We have it! But if anyone should go, it should be me! You should just stay at home steadily as a noble Mrs. Brown!” Robert’s words were cutting, and I almost burst into laughter.
Sure enough, Charlotte was so irritated by this statement that she rolled her eyes, taking quite some time to come back to her senses. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you understand? Do you think it’s appropriate for you to attend social events?” Robert’s words were highly impactful.
“Why wouldn’t it be suitable for me?” Charlotte immediately stood up, her voice raised eight octaves. “I am the rightful Mrs. Brown. Who else is more suitable than me? Is it Amelia…”
“Mom!” Robert’s roar immediately silenced Charlotte’s words. He glanced upstairs, then stood up, pulling Charlotte outside and closing the door with a loud bang.
Left outside, Charlotte refused to give up. She vigorously banged on the door. I couldn’t help but laugh. Ollie ran to my side, looking at me and asking, “Mommy, why are you laughing?”
I quickly closed my phone, hugged Ollie, and kissed him on the cheek. “Nothing, just saw a joke.”
“What joke? Can you show me?” Ollie had a curious little look, melting my heart.
I had no choice but to find a funny video on YouTube on my phone and show it to Ollie. Charles also came over, and seeing his brother laugh, he laughed along. They were both so adorable that I can’t let them go.
Despite being exhausted, I felt particularly content. The atmosphere in this home felt refreshed. The dinner was also very satisfying, obviously prepared with care by Edith. Even Charles, sitting on his high chair, enjoyed the meal.
At the dinner table, Robert wore a pleasant expression, enjoying the meal with gusto, showing no signs of the anger he displayed when he dragged his mother out.
I didn’t ask, and he didn’t say when his mother left.
It seems that the rift between him and his mother has already emerged. Perhaps I could add fuel to the fire and make the Brown siblings fight each other.
Putting Charles to sleep turned out to be a bit challenging. He refused to sleep, crying and looking for Sherry. Robert hesitated, looking at me. I knew what he wanted to say.
I directly looked into Robert’s eyes, unequivocally extinguishing his thoughts, “Don’t even think about it. I won’t allow Sherry to step foot in here again!”
Robert, seeing my firm stance, didn’t dare to speak and left Charles’s room. I decided to stay and accompany Charles to sleep here.
However, to my surprise, Sherry showed up uninvited.
During the night, I was in a daze, and my phone started buzzing, startling me. I looked around, feeling disoriented in an unfamiliar environment. After a closer look, I realized that I was sleeping in Charles’s room.
Feeling the persistent vibrations of the phone, I reached for it. It was already midnight. Could it be Scarlette calling? I quickly picked it up and took a glance, only to find that it was Alice, a new addition to my contacts.
