Charlotte slept in the empty room alone the whole night.
It seemed that Kennedy had accepted her proposal—them being husband and wife on paper, but not getting involved with each other’s life.
Then, Charlotte got dressed and went downstairs, where a group of servants was busy working.
She was just about to step forward to ask them where the kitchen was when a broom suddenly appeared under her feet. With that, Charlotte staggered, and she immediately fell forward uncontrollably.
“Ah!”
Just as she was about to fall down to the ground, a pair of strong hands helped her up in time.
Still in shock from the fall, Charlotte looked up, thereupon her eyes met a pair of gentle eyes.
“Are you alright, sister-in-law?”
“Sister-in-law?”
“I am Kennedy’s elder brother. My name is Manfred,” Manfred Moore said softly.
Before Charlotte could answer, a cold voice could be heard: “It seems like I’ve arrived at the wrong timing.”
This voice…
Charlotte looked over to the source of the voice to see Nathan pushing Kennedy over; the latter was sitting in a wheelchair with a thin blanket covering his legs.
Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, he still looked like a proud king.
His eyes were cold, and his gaze fell sharply on Charlotte’s face like a blade.
Meeting his icy stare, Charlotte couldn’t help but shiver.
Only then did she realize that she was still in Manfred Moore’s arms. Immediately, she quickly took two steps backward to keep a distance from him before lowering her head guiltily.
“Kennedy, it’s rare to see you at home.” Manfred Moore smiled at his younger brother.
However, Kennedy treated him with a different attitude; he merely nodded slightly without any expression on his face: “Manfred.”
“Alright then, I’ll be on my way for now.”With that, Manfred Moore looked at Charlotte and said gently, “Sister-in-law, I have to go to the company now, so I’ll be leaving first.”
Hearing this, Charlotte nodded blankly and watched as Manfred Moore left. Just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, she heard Kennedy mocking her, “Are all divorced women this desperate? You just can’t wait to seduce men, can you?”
Hearing this, Charlotte suddenly came back to her senses. “What did you say?”
Kennedy’s eyes were pitch-black, and there were dark shadows under his eyes. Charlotte could feel his hostility toward her.
Charlotte bit her lower lips before saying, “I’m not as nasty as you think.”
“Really?” Kennedy had a sarcastic smile on the corners of his lips. After all, he looked down on women like her the most,“How can you say that a woman who got remarried right after her divorce isn’t nasty?”
Charlotte clenched her fists, anger welling up in her.
Was she the one who wanted this? She was also forced to marry him.
Kennedy:“You better keep your promises and keep your distance from the Moore family. If I find out that you are doing despicable things outside under the name of the Moore family, or have any bad intentions toward my family, I’ll make you suffer.”
Kennedy:“Nathan.”
With that, Nathan wheeled Kennedy away.
After they left, a maid came over and said to her, “Second Young Lady, the Old Master wants to see you.”
Old Master? Is he Kennedy’s grandfather Mr. Reynold? Charlotte suddenly became nervous.
