Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Reverse Scale
Charlotte Thompson wasn’t sure what she could get out from his mouth.
She anxiously awaited his answer.
The look in Adam Ross’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
No wonder she was so off today, she had been musing on these things just a while ago.
"What do you want to say?" His eyes were filled with gloom, staring at her intently, his face also began to look unpleasant.
Where had she heard of Andrew Richard?
He had been dead for years, and besides those close to him, few would know of him.
To him, Andrew Richard was like a father figure, who had taken care of him since he was young, a sensitive topic for him.
In contrast, his relationship with his biological parents was not good because he hadn’t experienced familial love from them.
That was also the reason for some of his twisted character traits.
The pain hidden in his heart being suddenly mentioned, how could he be calm?
In fact, Adam Ross did not know that the child back then was actually born, he had always thought it had been thoroughly dealt with.
No matter how much he wracked his brains, he would never know that his two biological children had been living with Charlotte for so many years.
Seeing his expression, Charlotte also made some speculations in her heart.
The two must have known each other.
Not only did they know each other, but they must also have a deep relationship. Otherwise, Adam wouldn’t have reacted as he did upon hearing the name.
Just when she wanted to ask more details, she was directly cut off by Adam.
"If you want to ask about him, I’m afraid I can’t say anything." At this moment, his face had a trace of anger.
What Adam Ross hated the most in his life was when others pried into his personal matters.
Unless he was willing to speak, nobody could know.
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to its lowest point.
Charlotte could clearly feel the change in his mood.
He is usually nonchalant, but when he gets serious, he is quite terrifying.
Charlotte’s lips moved, but the words stuck in her throat were not spoken and were forcibly swallowed down.
Meanwhile, Adam was cross-armed and scowling across from her, visibly upset, as if contemplating something.
It had been many years since anyone had mentioned Andrew Richard in front of him. Charlotte’s question took him by surprise.
It made him wonder what her true motive was. It couldn’t just be about investigating Andrew Richard.
His mind was in chaos, his heart was confused too, he was irritated and scratched his head but had nowhere to vent his frustration.
Looking at this scene, Charlotte was certain that he had some relationship with Andrew Richard.
"Sorry, I was just suddenly reminded of this person." As she spoke, she was observing the changes in Adam’s expression.
By then, Adam had calmed down and no longer appeared as agitated, but he was still a bit upset.
There wouldn’t be such great coincidences in the world. After this scene, Charlotte was somewhat confident that the child was Adam’s.
Believing that Adam intentionally abandoned the child, she decided not to tell him about adopting the child for the time being.
She didn’t have any evidence to prove her suspicions and needed further investigation and verification to avoid any misunderstandings.
The meal ended in this tense atmosphere.
Charlotte asked Jack Bryant to pick her up, and Adam did not offer to give her a ride.
Perhaps the topic bothered him so much that he wasn’t able to let it go?
After leaving, this matter stayed in Charlotte’s mind.
Whether she was showering or eating, it was always on her mind.
Even as she slept, it was on her mind, to the point that she overslept the next day and almost came late to work.
She was a bit absent-minded after a day of work.
This won’t do, she would hardly feel at ease until this matter was resolved.
