Chapter 941: Chapter 941: It’s for You
Charlotte Thompson never expected that one day she would witness Justin Battleson looking embarassed.
The president of Riley Group, Justin Battleson, who dominated the business world, was actually learning to fold paper stars with several children.
However, for Justin, a task as simple as this, which one could learn almost immediately, naturally did not pose a challenge.
But watching Justin’s distinctively jointed hands pinching a colorful little star, Charlotte always felt that such a scene was quite amusing.
"How is it, Miss Thompson, are you satisfied?"
Justin handed over the star, and a smile spread across his handsome brows and eyes.
"So-so," Charlotte replied with a beaming smile.
Justin simply smiled without saying anything.
Time flew by quickly, and Justin Battleson and Charlotte spent some time playing with the children before coaxing them to go to sleep.
"Goodnight, my darlings," said Charlotte gently as she tucked Jack Thompson in.
"Mommy goodnight," the children responded one after another.
After shutting off the room light, Charlotte quietly left the room.
Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed away. When she returned to her room, she saw Justin sitting on a chair, flipping through Jack’s drawing book.
But he seemed to have seen something that made him look a bit stunned.
It wasn’t until the sound of Charlotte closing the room door that Justin snapped back to reality.
"Are the kids asleep?" Justin rose and walked over.
Charlotte nodded, then took a step forward and leaned into Justin’s embrace, looking somewhat lazy.
She nearly placed her entire weight on Justin, and like always, her hands instinctively found their way into the pockets of Justin’s pajamas.
Suddenly, Charlotte seemed to touch something in Justin’s pocket.
And at that moment, Justin realized, but Charlotte had already taken the thing out of the pocket.
It was a paper-folded heart, lying quietly in Charlotte’s palm.
Charlotte couldn’t help but look up at Justin with curiosity. "Did you fold this?"
But Justin shifted his gaze away in advance, although the slight reddening of his earlobes betrayed his feelings.
"Mhm," Justin coughed softly.
"How did you learn to fold this?" Charlotte asked as she turned the red heart over, considering Justin used to be someone who couldn’t even fold a star.
"I glanced at Grace’s origami book," Justin answered casually.
Actually, Justin didn’t know what came over him; upon seeing that page in the origami book, he had learned it on a whim.
He indeed had thought about giving it to Charlotte, but upon looking it over, he felt it was somewhat childish.
So he carelessly slipped it into his pajama pocket, never expecting that Charlotte would discover it.
"So this is for me?" Charlotte hadn’t thought Justin would do something like this.
Justin pursed his lips, suddenly reaching to press Charlotte’s head against his chest.
"It is for you."
Justin spoke dryly, feeling for the first time a bit at a loss in front of Charlotte.
Charlotte wrapped her arms around Justin’s waist and pressed her cheek against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.
"I seem to hear something..."
Charlotte was smiling with her lips pursed, but before she could finish, a quiet voice came from above her head.
"It is saying it loves you."
Charlotte blinked, feeling the warm hand around her neck, and a gentle smile rippled through her eyes.
"It seems... it truly does."
