Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276 Comfort
She licked her lips, feeling her throat increasingly tighten.
However, what came next was a shallow low chuckle from Justin Battleson.
"What are you talking about? Whether it’s Sophie Allen or Charlotte Thompson, after all, aren’t they both the same you? What’s the difference and what does it mean to give back everything that belongs to her?"
Justin rested his chin on Charlotte’s forehead, using his increasingly gentle voice to relax her tense heart.
"Why would you have such a strange dream?" he asked softly.
"I don’t know." Charlotte shook her head very obediently.
"Even so, could the former Sophie Allen take away everything that now belongs to you?"
Justin lowered his head and gently kissed Charlotte’s forehead.
"Everything you have now is earned through your own effort, who can take it away from you?"
Hearing this, Charlotte reached out and stopped Justin’s neck, his hair tips still damp with droplets that, when falling, actually made Charlotte feel a bit more awake.
"Yes, they are all me, there’s no need to keep mulling over things. Perhaps I’ve been too busy with a lot of recent events, causing some anxiety."
Hearing this, Justin’s heart ached a bit as he wrapped his arms around Charlotte’s waist.
"Couldn’t our Miss Thompson not work so hard? At least relax a bit, and avoid trying to finish everything in such a short span of time."
"Mm..."
Charlotte lightly responded, then sat up straight from Justin’s embrace, blinking and asking him:
"It’s true that I should relax a bit, but what relaxing things can there be to do in the office?"
Hearing this, Justin’s lips curled up, and he leaned down to whisper in Charlotte’s ear: "There might not be anything to do in your own office, but in mine, perhaps... it could be different."
Charlotte was stunned for a moment, not quite catching the meaning in Justin’s words: "Your office and mine don’t have much difference..."
Yet before Charlotte could finish speaking, she met Justin’s smiling eyes.
In an instant, a flush spread across Charlotte’s face, and she quickly pushed Justin away, scolding him with a coy glance.
"What are you talking about!"
"What did I say? My office has a coffee machine, and if you’re feeling bored, you can make a cup of coffee to rest a bit. There are also some books to read, to relax," Justin said with an innocent expression as if not quite understanding why Charlotte suddenly acted this way.
Upon hearing this, Charlotte was so embarrassed she could not squeeze out a single word.
"If not these, what else does Miss Thompson want to do in my office?" Justin reached out and playfully touched Charlotte’s tender cheek.
"Tell your husband here, whatever your request, I’ll satisfy it."
"Irritating."
Charlotte’s cheeks reddened from Justin’s teasing, and she hurriedly swatted his hand away, turning her gaze aside to avoid looking at Justin, but this series of small movements only provoked Justin to chuckle softly.
"How about... I keep some plants in the office?"
"Plants, that’s a good idea." Justin also agreed, nodding to the suggestion.
"Then what can I keep? Plants should be easier to care for than small animals, right?"
