When Charlotte turned the corner, she suddenly stopped, because she noticed to men in front of her.
Kennedy was in his wheelchair with Nathan standing beside him, and Kennedy was staring at her with his cold eyes.
If she had her attitude from before, she would immediately turn around and leave, but now that she knows he was repelled by his own grandfather and brother, Charlotte suddenly had a different thought about Kennedy.
But, she still hadn’t forgotten that he forced her to get an abortion. So she still turned and wanted to leave.
“Stop!” Kennedy yelled out.
Charlotte stood in place, turned her head and asked, “What is it?”
“You are my assistant, you haven’t been to work for two days without any excuse, do you still wanna keep your job?”
When she heard that, she remembered the what Reynold had told her, she remembered that she wasn’t going to work to be his assistant, but more to keep an eye on him, so she said, “I thought you don’t need any assistant? In that case I must be only annoying you if I am there.”
“Do you think the Moore Group is a place for you to come and leave as you wish?”
Charlotte raised her brows, “So what do you want?”
Nathan, who was standing by the side, saw her attitude towards Kennedy, and his eyes widened, “What is wrong with you, Mr. Moore has thought about you, he has kept the bastard in your belly, but you...”
“Shut up!” Kennedy yelled, and Nathan was quiet.
“What did you say?” Charlotte stared at him in disbelief, she couldn’t dare to believe Nathan’s words, “How could this be? You did...”
Charlotte stared at Kennedy, that day before she passed out, he insisted to let she get the abortion, he even asked Nathan to get the doctor in person. Then she had passed out and when she finally woke up, she was already home.
“Don’t over-think it, I just don’t want to bother with a woman like you.” Kennedy said coldly, and gestured to Nathan to bring him out of there.
Charlotte watched the two of them leave, confused.
How could this be? She thought she had lost her baby, and now that Nathan had mentioned it, she suddenly remembered that the other day when she woke up, she felt no difference in her belly.
She thought about it, then took out her phone and called Diana.
When Diana arrived, she took her to the hospital for a check up, and when the doctor congratulated her on her pregnancy, she was still perplexed.
How could this be? She thought Kennedy would never accept this baby, but...
“I guess the Kennedy you are always talking about is not as heartless as you said.”
Charlotte didn’t say anything to that, she was looking down and in her own thoughts.
“What are you gonna do?”
“I don’t know, I guess I will just have to go with the flow and see.” Charlotte had no plan of her life. The moment she married Aldrich, her life was all about him, and after her divorce, her parent remarried her again with Kennedy, now all she had in mind was to stay in the Moore family.
“But... that stranger, who is that?” Diana was very curious, “You said that he slept with you, but wasn’t he worried that you would get pregnant? Charlotte, have you ever thought about looking for this guy?”
Looking for the stranger? Charlotte’s gaze was blur, “Why would I? I have no memory of him whatsoever, I don’t even know what he looks like, it was raining that day, and already nighttime, I couldn’t see anything at all. And now that I am married with Kennedy, if I went and looked for another man, this family would kick me out.”
“How about this, I will arrange for someone to help you, let’s see if we can get any information.”
“Thank you Diana.”
“Why are you thanking me, I need to thank you, you are the one who always took care of me when I was bullied in school, you even took the beats for me.” As Diana mentioned this, she remembered the years back in school, in those years, she hadn’t been with the Nelsons yet, she was just a poor little girl who was always bullied, and it was Charlotte who had helped her out.
Since then, the two of them had become good friends.
Charlotte went directly to her room when she got back home.
When she entered, she noticed that Kennedy hadn’t gone to work, which was strange, she closed the door and thought for a while, then she went to him.
Kennedy was sitting on his wheelchair, holding a finance magazine in one hand, on his one side he had a table on which he had put his laptop.
When Charlotte approached, she noticed that Kennedy had an earpiece, and on his laptop was a video playing.
It seemed like he was in a video conference.
The words that were already on Charlotte’s lips got stuck, she stood in the back and listened to Kennedy talk.
“Yeah, that’s a good idea, continue.”
“Okay, do it quickly.”
“Yeah.”
Kennedy was never a person of many words, most of his sentences were kept short. He hasn’t raised his head all this time, his eyes were fixed on the magazine, then he said again, “Send me all proposals to my email.”
