Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Such Poor Taste
Justin Battleson lowered his gaze.
"Back then, Aunt Watson told me that before my mother died, she said I should never get involved with perfume and that I shouldn’t be too aggressive in front of others."
At this point, Charlotte paused, a forced smile playing on her lips.
"Mom also said not to let men deceive me, but just like her, I still ended up encountering a jerk."
Charlotte tilted her face upward.
"How come both my mom and I have such bad taste in men?"
Hearing this, Justin’s expression froze.
Charlotte turned in Justin’s arms, then wrapped her hands around his neck.
"But luckily I met you, or else my love life would have truly been a failure."
Justin tightened his embrace.
He too had once done things that made Charlotte sad.
"Charlotte, I’m sorry..."
But before Justin could finish, Charlotte had already lifted her head and kissed his lips.
...
Latter on, the two of them went to the kindergarten to pick up the children together.
The kids were all very surprised and excited to see Justin and Charlotte arrive at the same time, and they all rushed over when they saw them.
"Dad! Mommy!"
Hank was the first to run over to Charlotte, his face lighting up with joy.
Charlotte, seeing him out of breath, couldn’t help but reach out to pinch his little cheek.
"Why are you running so urgently?"
Hank grinned at Charlotte, "Because I wanted to be by Mommy’s side right away."
Then he sneakily turned to give Jack and Chad a high five, "Yay, I’m first."
"You cheated, you started running early," Chad said, huffing.
"This is my skill," Hank said, raising his eyebrows smugly.
It turned out that Hank, Jack, and Chad, the three little ones, had arranged a contest among themselves before school let out, to see who could run to their parents first when they came to pick them up.
Charlotte later learned from Grace that the prize for winning seemed to be the chocolate of the other two.
Watching the several little ones playfully wrestling, Charlotte felt a mix of laughter and tears.
The children got into the car one after another, happily sharing with Justin and Charlotte the funny events that happened at the kindergarten that day.
Charlotte, looking at the children before her, listening to their youthful voices, felt a warm sensation flooding her heart; the shadows that lingered in her chest had already been swept away.
"Dad and Mom will take you to the amusement park this weekend, what do you think?" Justin said.
Because they had promised the children the last time, Justin and Charlotte had arranged their work in advance and found a day to spare.
"Yay!" Grace clapped her hands and smiled.
"Long live Daddy and Mommy!" Hank cheered, raising his hands above his head.
Even the normally composed Cyrus had an excited smile on his face.
However, the usually lively Jack and Chad seemed a bit down at this moment.
Noticing the change in the two little ones, Charlotte asked with concern, "Jack, Chad, what’s wrong? Do you two feel unwell somewhere?"
How come the two who were all right just now suddenly became unhappy?
"Mommy, we have to go back to the Ross family this weekend, does that mean we can’t go to the amusement park with you?" Jack looked up, his eyes clearly showing his disappointment.
Seeing this, the rest of the children also turned their gaze towards Justin and Charlotte.
"Jack and Chad can’t really go with us?" Grace asked, feeling upset.
"Who said that?" Charlotte reached out, playfully flicking Jack and Chad’s little noses one by one, and gently laughed, "How could we not take you along."
