Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Must Protect Well
"Mr. Ross..." Charlotte was startled by Mr. Ross’s words and found herself at a loss for words.
"What, you think you’re too good for the Ross Family?" Mr. Ross raised an eyebrow.
In fact, upon closer consideration, Charlotte’s appearance and background did indeed make her a match for Adam Ross.
And with Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson as her children, Mr. Ross had already begun to scheme, thinking maybe by some stroke of luck he could bring Adam and Charlotte together.
Seeing the look in Mr. Ross’s eyes, Charlotte felt a chill run down her spine and shook her head repeatedly, "No, that’s not it."
"After all, you and Justin Battleson aren’t married, you’re single right now, aren’t you?" Mr. Ross said casually.
Charlotte really didn’t know how to respond, and feeling a bit frustrated, she pinched her palm before finally saying, "Mr. Ross, I should take the kids back now."
"Changing the subject," Mr. Ross said as he looked at Charlotte, then waved his hand impatiently.
Charlotte let out a sigh of relief and quickly left.
...
"Mr. Ross?"
The voice beside him pulled Mr. Ross out of his reverie. He shifted his gaze and gave his instructions.
"The identities of Jack and Chad must be well protected."
"Yes, Mr. Ross," the man nodded seriously.
Mr. Ross turned to look out the car window at streetlights flashing by, creating a beam of light that split his reflection in the window.
His eyes were deep, as if lost in thought, and the sigh he eventually let out was swallowed by the sound of the car moving.
By the time Mr. Ross returned to the Ross Family’s residence, Adam was still in the living room. Upon seeing Mr. Ross being wheeled in, he promptly stood up to meet him.
But Mr. Ross pressed his hand down, signaling to Adam not to bother.
"Mr. Ross, still going for walks so late in the evening?" Adam always had a casual demeanor, even when speaking to Mr. Ross, the most senior member of his family.
As expected, Adam was met with a roll of Mr. Ross’s eyes.
"What walk? It’s all because of your mess," Mr. Ross said.
Adam’s expression turned surprised; he pointed to his own nose, "Me? I’m not the one trending today."
Thinking of how Ryan Richard was trending on social media as Charlotte’s ex-boyfriend that day, Adam couldn’t help but wonder what had caused Charlotte’s taste to elevate dramatically, from Ryan Richard to Justin Battleson.
"Don’t give me those useless talks here," Mr. Ross said sternly, tapping his wheelchair.
Adam immediately sat up straight, listening attentively to Mr. Ross.
"The matter concerning Jack and Chad must not be known by anyone, including those with the last name Ross, understand?" Mr. Ross instructed.
Adam thought for a moment, his brow furrowed, "Is it Zoe Anne? Does she think Jack and Chad are mine and Charlotte’s children?"
Although there was some doubt in Adam’s voice, having mentioned it, he was about eighty percent sure of his guess.
Mr. Ross glanced at Adam.
Despite Adam’s usual carefree appearance, his thoughts were in fact very meticulous.
Today, after seeing the hot search of Zoe Anne and Ryan Richard, Adam had conducted a brief investigation and discovered there seemed to be a party that day, which Charlotte also attended.
Knowing Zoe Anne’s character, Adam was certain she would do something to Charlotte.
Plus, hearing that Mr. Ross had visited the Anne family that evening, Adam could somewhat guess what was going on.
Although he and Charlotte were raising Jack and Chad together, outsiders who were unaware of the situation would definitely assume there had been something between him and Charlotte.
