Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: Not Interested
When Justin Battleson returned to the living room with Charlotte, Jordan and Adam had already left, and only the children were left playing with the toys that Jordan had recently bought.
Charlotte stepped over to where Jack and Chad were, originally planning to bring them over.
But upon further thought, she decided it was best to investigate the matter of their biological mother before discussing it with them.
However, while Charlotte hesitated beside the two boys, Jack keenly turned his head toward her.
Holding a puzzle piece in his hand, he blinked at Charlotte, "Mommy, do you want to join us in putting together a puzzle?"
Hearing this, Charlotte’s gaze fell upon the large portion of the puzzle in front of Jack.
It looked like a large piece, but Charlotte glanced again at the huge box beside it; completing the whole puzzle would probably take thousands of pieces.
Then Charlotte gave a quick look at the other children’s toys and couldn’t help but narrow her eyes slightly.
She tugged on Justin’s finger and whispered in his ear, "What kind of toys did you play with when you were little?"
Justin pondered for a moment and seriously replied, "I never played with toys. They didn’t interest me."
Justin’s character was always very calm, and he had little interest in toys; his only hobby was probably reading.
In this aspect, Justin was probably just like his biological mother.
Such a response left Charlotte as well in silence.
She glanced at Cyrus and Hank jointly assembling the Death Star and then at Jack and Cyrus’s giant puzzle.
This inspired Charlotte to take the children for an intelligence test.
Especially their son Cyrus—who has ever heard of a kindergartener skilled in hacking?
Yet Charlotte’s heart was filled with more pride than anything else.
When Charlotte turned around, she found Olivia already cuddling her toy on the couch, her eyes drooping as if she had fallen asleep.
Seeing this, the corners of Charlotte’s lips lifted gently.
She carefully approached Olivia, and Grace, sitting beside her, seemed to have noticed Olivia’s slumber and was very obediently reading her book.
Grace caught sight of Charlotte approaching and extended her finger to her lips, motioning a silent shush.
Charlotte blinked at her, then carefully picked Olivia up from the couch.
This action partially roused Olivia, her expression somewhat dazed as she looked at Charlotte, rubbing her eyes.
"Mommy..."
Olivia’s voice was soft and tender, melting hearts as she listened.
She murmured quietly and then wrapped her arms around Charlotte’s neck, resting her head on her shoulder as she seemed to fall back into sleep.
Charlotte carefully held Olivia while the other children also took notice and lowered their voices.
But now it was indeed late, and it was almost time for the children to rest and go to sleep.
Charlotte took Olivia back to the children’s room, gently laying her down on the bed, taking care to tuck her in properly.
But as Charlotte carefully walked out, the rest of the children had already lined up at the door, then very tacitly made silent gestures, seemingly wanting to emulate Charlotte’s actions and enter lightly on their toes.
Charlotte was charmed by their cuteness, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
"Goodnight, Mommy."
The children opened their mouths toward Charlotte, a faint breathy sound emerging, and Grace planted a kiss on Charlotte’s cheek.
