Without Sharon, Joe felt refreshed. Just as he was about to take them to dinner, he received a call from Sir Smith. "Joe, I made an appointment to have dinner with Ben and Anna today. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
Before Joe could say anything, Sir Smith hung up the phone.
Joe looked back helplessly at Charlotte.
When they returned to Sun House, Sir Smith was stunned for a moment when he saw them. "Did you happen to meet at the door?"
Joe laughed coldly, "We came together."
Before he could explain, Ben and Anna had already rushed up to him and happily told him about what had happened on the mountain today. Sir Smith realized that he had worried too much. He took Ben's and Anna's hands awkwardly and walked inside.
Charlotte changed her shoes and was about to walk in when she was stopped by Joe.
He trapped Charlotte on the shoe-changing stool on the porch and looked down at her. "Well... sneak away?"
Charlotte couldn't believe what Joe said. "What? Sir Smith specially invited us to dinner..."
Joe picked her up and strode out of the door. "He just said he invited Ben and Anna. It doesn't matter whether we are here or not."
Even after being stuffed into the car, Charlotte still couldn't believe that Joe had taken her away!
This time, Joe did not call for a driver. Instead, he drove to the Holiday Resort.
At this time, it was getting dark, and Charlotte was so hungry that she lost her temper. "You tried so hard to take me out just to..."
Joe did not tell Charlotte that this lighting system had been prepared for her from the very beginning.
Ever since he found out Charlotte's real identity, he had decided to make such a lighting system and let her see with her own eyes how the building he designed conveyed surprise and love.
Now, it seemed that she liked it. This was enough for Joe.
Charlotte happily took Joe's hand, "Well! I'm so hungry."
Joe looked at her dotingly and the two of them walked through the door hand in hand.
