Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: More Bad Than Good
Of course, Charlotte knew full well that Justin Battleson was just joking.
"The old man came here because of the Ross family incident, right?" Justin’s brow furrowed slightly.
Charlotte nodded.
"I had deliberately downplayed the incident, not wanting Grandpa to find out, but it still reached him. Indeed, Grandpa has always been worried about my situation. How could such a matter be hidden from him?"
"Did your brothers also come?" Justin inquired with a hint of probing in his tone.
Thinking of the Thompson family’s several overprotective brothers, Justin felt a throbbing pain in his temple.
If he went there this time, it would probably be more bad luck than good.
Only things related to Charlotte could cause the normally cold and indifferent Justin Battleson to show such a look of concern.
"Just the eldest brother, the fifth, and the seventh brother," Charlotte replied truthfully.
Seeing Justin’s troubled expression, Charlotte couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
Upon seeing this, Justin reached out and playfully flicked her little nose, "Your husband is about to get beaten up, yet you can still laugh."
"There’s nothing I can do about it, it’s not my fault. After all, you were the one who tricked me into getting back together with you."
Charlotte teasingly raised her eyebrows at Justin, a playful tone in her voice.
Seeing this, Justin bit his back teeth lightly, then reached out and took hold of Charlotte’s soft neck, leaning over to kiss her lips.
It was as if he were punishing her, silencing all of Charlotte’s words.
"My ungrateful little thing."
The two whispered sweet nothings, with Justin’s warm breath tickling Charlotte’s ear, causing her to shiver.
Charlotte gave Justin a coquettish glare, then swiftly changed the subject.
"By the way, Annie was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. I’m going to take Annie to pick her up."
Justin was slightly startled: "Annie is being discharged at this time? Weren’t her injuries severe? She couldn’t have fully recovered yet."
Justin, because of Charlotte, was well aware of the time Annie had been admitted to the hospital and thought carefully before speaking, puzzled.
"I initially advised her not to be discharged so soon, but she insisted on it, saying that she had consulted with the doctor, so I didn’t say much more."
Charlotte sighed, her face showing her helplessness.
"Well, she’s been in the hospital for far too long; not just her, even I would go crazy if I stayed in there every day."
At this point, Charlotte paused, and seeing this, Justin reached out to stroke the soft hair by her temple, tucking a slightly messy strand behind her ear.
"You said before that Annie wasn’t the type to act rashly. Since she’s made this decision, she must have thought it through. And with Oliver Hudson by her side, he’ll certainly take good care of her."
Mentioning Oliver Hudson’s name, Charlotte’s lips pursed.
"Hopefully so," Charlotte finally shook her head.
At that moment, Charlotte realized just how intimate her and Justin’s position was, and her body instinctively leaned back.
"Let me down quickly, what if someone comes in?"
Having her sit on an office desk was simply too improper.
"No need to worry, no one will come in without my orders."
Seeing Charlotte’s somewhat embarrassed face, Justin took a step closer, his knee pressing against the edge of the desk, leaving her no way to escape.
"Justin Battleson!"
Charlotte’s face was tinged with a touch of blush, and she resentfully glared at Justin.
