Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: He Reached Out to Me.
After all, the media now knew that she and Justin Battleson had several children. If only Jack and Chad were taken to the old master of the Ross Family’s birthday banquet, some motivated people might recklessly say something.
Justin Battleson leaned towards Charlotte and stretched his arm around her, bringing her into his embrace, "I thought about this matter for a long time, but I decided not to bring the other children."
Charlotte faced up to him in Justin’s embrace, waiting for what he wanted to say next.
"If we take all six children, it will be inconvenient to take care of them. There will be many people at the banquet," Justin whispered softly.
Charlotte felt that there was some logic to Justin’s words and nodded in agreement.
"Moreover, it’s not certain what might happen at the Ross Family event, and with the woman claiming to be Jack and Chad’s biological mother there, bringing just those two children would better protect them."
"That’s true. Besides, Grace isn’t well, and keeping the other children at home gives them someone to look after."
At the mention of Grace Thompson, Charlotte felt a stab of discomfort in her heart.
"It’s alright," Justin spoke, comforting her.
His voice was low but seemingly magical, soothing Charlotte’s troubled heart.
"Just take Jack and Chad, then tell Adam Ross about it. Tomorrow I’ll take the two kids to pick out clothes."
Charlotte pondered briefly but then shook her head, "Let’s take a few of the kids out shopping on the streets tomorrow instead, otherwise, they’ll complain that I’m playing favorites."
Thinking of her affectionate children all clustered together, Charlotte couldn’t help but curve her lips.
When she looked up, she noticed Justin’s somewhat solemn expression.
"Is there something inappropriate?" Charlotte turned in Justin’s embrace.
It seemed after a long deliberation, Justin finally chose to speak.
"Charlotte, do you want to meet Leon Battleson, my brother?"
"Leon, Leon Battleson?" Hearing this name didn’t surprise Charlotte, but Justin saying he wanted to introduce her to Leon did.
Since she met Oliver Battleson last time, Charlotte had a strange feeling about the men of the Battleson family.
But hadn’t Justin always disliked his brother? Why would he want to meet him now, and moreover, take her along?
"Did he come to you on his own?" Charlotte asked.
Justin nodded in response, "He reached out to me."
"So... he said he wants to meet me as well?" Charlotte guessed.
Knowing he couldn’t keep it from Charlotte, Justin candidly admitted it.
He rested his chin on Charlotte’s shoulder, his voice somewhat muffled, "I don’t want you to meet someone like him."
"If you truly don’t want me to go, then I’ll listen to you."
Charlotte stroked Justin’s cheek, smiling, "After all, he’s your brother and doesn’t really have much to do with me. If he wants to meet me, he can watch my variety shows."
Hearing this, Justin chuckled softly near her ear, his arms around her waist tightened.
Later, Charlotte and Stardust Garden video-called, and the little ones jostled to be in front of the camera, worried Charlotte might not see them.
"Why haven’t Daddy and Mommy come home today?" Hank Thompson propped up his cheeks, curiously asking,
"Did you sneak off to eat something tasty?"
"What tasty food? It’s just the second brother who always thinks about eating. Daddy and Mommy clearly just went out for some couple’s time."
