Chapter 919: Chapter 919: I Have Long Been Dead
"Sir, why get so angry? It’s not worth it," she said.
Just then, a woman emerged from the shadows, holding a glass of red wine and refilled a cup for Leon Battleson, handing it over to him.
Leon Battleson snorted coldly. He did not take the wineglass from the woman but instead grabbed her cheek.
The woman seemed frightened, but her terror was fleeting, and she quickly resumed a shallow smile.
However, this time, Leon Battleson coldly scolded her.
"Don’t smile. You’ve known her for so long, don’t you know what she’s like?"
The woman’s gaze trembled, and she didn’t speak again.
Leon Battleson seemed to be inspecting a piece of merchandise, looking at the woman’s cheeks from side to side before finally releasing his hand.
The woman knelt on the ground slightly, gently massaging Leon Battleson’s leg.
"How does it feel to meet again?" Leon Battleson half-closed his eyes and asked softly.
The woman pondered for a moment before finally speaking softly, "I don’t know."
Such an answer made Leon Battleson suddenly laugh, grabbing the woman’s chin and making her lift her head to look at him.
"No rush, you’ll see him soon. But with a face like that, you’d probably be reluctant, wouldn’t you?"
"If it weren’t for you, sir, I would have been dead long ago, so now it doesn’t matter who I am," the woman said submissively.
Listening to this, Leon Battleson couldn’t help but shake his head, "Someone as submissive and beautiful as you, I’m almost tempted myself."
"Really?" A flicker of hope flashed in the woman’s eyes.
"Of course."
Leon Battleson moved closer to the woman, "After all ... this is Charlotte Thompson’s face."
...
Elsewhere, Charlotte Thompson brought the packed mini cakes back to Stardust Garden, where the children gathered around, each taking a bite.
Charlotte Thompson charged her phone and then realized that Justin Battleson had called and texted her after her phone had powered off.
Just as Charlotte Thompson was about to call back, Justin’s car drove into Stardust Garden.
When Justin saw Charlotte, a gleam passed through his eyes.
"My phone was dead, so I couldn’t reply to your messages," Charlotte indicated her phone on the side, and Justin glanced over and responded with a sound.
"Dad, you’re back!"
Grace Thompson ran up to Justin first, taking his hand.
"Mommy brought us back lots of mini cakes, Dad, come eat with us."
As she spoke, the other children also gathered around Justin.
However, upon seeing the cakes, Justin couldn’t help but recall the photos taken by the paparazzi, feeling somewhat displeased.
But Justin didn’t show it on his face.
Charlotte casually picked up a piece and forked some to offer to Justin, "I didn’t expect their mini cakes to be so tasty."
Justin didn’t take the cake; instead, he hugged Charlotte from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder.
"Who did you see today?" Justin asked quietly.
"Didn’t I tell you this morning? Zoe Anne," Charlotte replied offhandedly, unaware of the darkening look in Justin’s eyes.
Why she had seen Adam Ross but hadn’t told him.
Justin silently tightened his arms around her while Charlotte hooked one of Justin’s fingers and turned to ask,
"What’s wrong?"
Charlotte always felt that Justin had been acting strangely since he returned.
Hearing that, Justin spoke softly, "I saw Leon Battleson today."
"Leon Battleson?"
Charlotte’s expression shifted slightly, her concern evident as she asked, "What did he say to you? Or did he do something to you?"
