Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: You’re Investigating Me?
"It was just an accident," Charlotte muttered, pouting her lips in response to Justin Battleson’s movement.
Seeing Charlotte like this made it look like she was somewhat eager...
Gazing at Charlotte’s delicate lips, Justin’s throat slightly constricted.
He leaned in closer, his voice growing softer, "Accidents are no good..."
His last words were swallowed up by Charlotte’s lips.
The kiss seemed infused with a punishing intent, making Charlotte feel inescapable.
Then, Jordan Thompson opened his mouth, intending to say something, but he couldn’t find the right moment.
Now, witnessing this scene, he helplessly turned his head to the side.
Damn it!
He didn’t want his lunch to turn into dog food!
Probably as a protest against the couple’s shameless public affection, Jordan coughed pointedly to the side.
That startled Charlotte, who tapped Justin on the shoulder, finally getting him to release her.
"Big sis, I didn’t come out here to be fed with dog food," Jordan lamented from the side.
Charlotte pursed her lips, slightly embarrassed, and leaned her head against Justin’s chest.
Justin, furrowing his brow, shifted his gaze toward Jordan.
In that instant, Jordan regretted speaking out.
But by now, he could only endure the torture of Justin’s piercing look and spoke softly,
"Well then... Big sis, why don’t you and your husband head back first? That information can be told anytime," Jordan coughed seriously and said.
Listening to Jordan’s words, Charlotte quickly scanned her mind.
Indeed, it wasn’t something crucial; knowing it sooner or later didn’t matter.
She nodded towards Jordan and then spoke, "Do you want to come back with me and check on the kids?"
She was about to open her mouth to speak, but the word was suddenly swallowed as she met Justin’s gaze.
Jordan was muttering to himself internally.
Was interrupting them just once such a crime?
Besides, in such a public setting, they should be mindful of their behavior.
"Forget it, I’ve got an appointment with my band friends tonight, so I won’t be going back to see the kids."
Jordan ruffled his hair haphazardly, "I’m going to head off first. But big sis, since you want to know about your husband’s family stuff, why don’t you just ask him directly instead of trying to find out on your own?"
It was just an offhand remark, yet as Jordan turned to leave, he noticed Justin’s expression becoming subtly intense.
"Are you investigating me?" Justin looked down at Charlotte.
Her mouth opened slightly but she was momentarily at a loss for words.
From the side, Jordan noticed the atmosphere turning somewhat awkward and internally panicked.
Had he accidentally said something he shouldn’t have?
Recalling what his brother had told him, Olivia wished she could smack herself.
She must have been functionally brain-dead from staying up all night.
How could he have carelessly spoken about such a thing?
"I..."
Charlotte was startled by Jordan bringing up her investigation of Justin and, seeing Jordan’s remorseful look, realized he had only just recognized his mistake.
Blaming Jordan in her mind was pointless; she needed to explain the matter to Justin herself.
"Let’s talk when we get back."
Justin spoke indifferently, then took Charlotte by the hand and led her outside.
Seeing this, Jordan, who had been shivering in the corner, mouthed an apology to his older sister before making a hasty escape.
