Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: Don’t Leave Me Again
"Justin Battleson, how can you be like this? You clearly know about my relationship with Henry."
Charlotte Thompson gently teased while massaging Justin’s temples.
"Of course, I remember. But I also recall how you publicly declared to the media that you and Henry Hudson were boyfriend and girlfriend."
Hearing this, Charlotte paused in her movements, then spoke, "How long ago was that? How can you still remember it?"
"Of course I remember, because on that day, I felt as if my heart had shattered."
Justin lifted his eyes to look at Charlotte, a faint light twinkling in his gaze as he spoke in a very serious tone.
Every time Justin thought about how cold Charlotte had been towards him back then, especially when she publicly revealed her relationship with another man in front of the media, he felt as if countless knives were plunged into his heart, making it difficult for him even to fake a smile.
"But when I said that, wasn’t I just trying to avoid you?" Charlotte muttered softly.
After all, her feelings for Justin were complex at that time, so when facing his renewed pursuit, she chose to reject him and even staged a scene with Henry.
"But at that time, I was really scared, because I was afraid I had truly lost you forever." Justin’s voice was a soft murmur.
Even though Charlotte and Justin are together now, sometimes he would wake up from a dream in a panic, and only after seeing that the person next to him was really Charlotte could he feel somewhat reassured.
The feeling of fear of loss lingered ever since the year when Charlotte chose to break things off completely with him.
It was five years ago that he truly realized he had lost Charlotte.
Sometimes Justin would even absurdly think that his current life with Charlotte might just be a beautiful dream, and upon waking, everything would revert back to the beginning.
"But, here I am right now, standing right in front of you, aren’t I?" Charlotte responded softly, her gaze towards Justin also incredibly tender.
At this moment, Justin’s voice tightened as he spoke, "Charlotte, don’t leave me again, okay?"
"If you don’t want me to leave, then it depends on your behavior. First, you need to properly heal your injuries." While saying this, Charlotte reached out and playfully adjusted the hair on Justin’s forehead.
Sometimes Charlotte felt that her attitude towards Justin, especially now when he was injured and she had to take care of him, was like taking care of a child.
Probably because they had a lot of children, she thought.
Of course, Justin didn’t know that Charlotte had already equated him with the children in her heart.
"Yes, sir." Justin nodded.
Soon, Adam Ross and Harper Gibson brought back dinner for four people.
Since Justin’s circumstances were special, following the doctor’s orders, he naturally had to eat some light food, which also led to Charlotte, Adam, and Harper changing their taste preference for the meal.
"Hey, I must say this light-flavored food isn’t bad at all," Adam said as he ate, nodding his head in agreement.
But Harper didn’t share the same view: "I truly hope I can live a healthy life and never get sick in my lifetime."
"Oh come on, you’re getting to that age where you should start taking care of your health," Adam elbowed Harper.
Harper gave a sly grin: "Adam, I’ve noticed that nowadays, you’re increasingly resembling the old man of your house!"
