Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: I’m Ignoring You Now.
"Justin Battleson, stop fooling around."
Charlotte whispered, yet she could feel the man drawing closer and closer to her.
She felt the warm breath of Justin Battleson brush her face, and if the lights were to be suddenly turned on, one would surely see Charlotte’s flushed complexion.
Unsure if it was due to shyness or the embarrassment of the fear that the kids might suddenly wake up.
"How am I fooling around? Isn’t it just sleeping like usual?"
Justin Battleson chuckled softly by Charlotte’s ear; after all, with the kids nearby, he certainly wouldn’t do anything else, but teasing Charlotte was something Justin never tired of.
"If you keep this up, I’ll stop paying attention to you."
Charlotte’s voice had a hint of complaint, but coupled with her gentle tone, it sounded as if she were coquettishly pleading.
Suddenly, Justin Battleson felt a bit of regret.
He couldn’t resist planting a dragonfly kiss on Charlotte’s lips, then he pulled her back into his embrace.
Seeing that Charlotte was still trying to struggle, Justin pressed his palm against her waist.
"Stop fussing, let’s sleep."
Feeling the breath behind her ear steady, Charlotte found herself unable to say much about Justin’s playful behavior, resigning herself to lying in his arms.
It seemed like a faint heartbeat was echoing by her ear, like the most harmonious melody lulling Charlotte into dreamland.
When Charlotte awoke the next morning, Justin’s presence was nowhere to be found, while Grace and Olivia were still sound asleep.
Charlotte got out of bed carefully, tucking the kids in, and then tiptoed out of the room.
She wanted to go check on the boys in their bedroom, but unexpectedly, Cyrus sneaked out of his room.
Charlotte was somewhat surprised and beckoned to Cyrus.
With sleepy eyes, Cyrus obediently walked over to Charlotte.
"Cyrus, why did you wake up so early?"
Their sleeping times were quite similar; usually, they all went to bed and got up together.
"I’m not used to sleeping there," Cyrus answered seriously as he rubbed his eyes.
Cyrus was a bit particular about where he slept.
Charlotte then tenderly smoothed Cyrus’s sleep-mussed hair and cooed, "Then how about Mommy takes you back to the children’s room, okay?"
But Cyrus shook his head: "No need, Mommy, I’m already wide awake and not sleepy anymore."
"Let Mommy take you to wash up."
Charlotte took Cyrus by the hand, and they went to the bathroom together.
After helping Cyrus wash up, he joined Jasmine Clarkson, who had woken up early, to tend to the flowers.
As the other children woke up one by one, Charlotte also helped them with their washing and dressing.
Once everyone was ready, breakfast was prepared, and the children took their seats at the dining table to enjoy a good breakfast.
Due to the incident at the kindergarten, the police had to intervene for investigation, making it impossible for the children to continue attending the kindergarten for a short period.
Fortunately, the kindergarten curriculum was quite simple, and taking a break for a while would not be a big issue. However, both Justin and Charlotte had jobs and didn’t have the time to stay with the kids during the day, and with Jasmine growing older, Charlotte didn’t want the children to be too noisy around her, so she thought about taking them back to the villa she shared with Justin.
But this would mean there would be no one to look after the kids during the day, which made Charlotte hesitant.
Just then, Henry Thompson suddenly got in touch with Charlotte.
