Charlotte felt conflicted looking at him walk off.
She knew he brought all of them here today not just because he wanted to remind the children of the warmth of family, but also because he wanted to try to win her back one last time.
She had smothered his last hope before he even had the chance to act on it.
She thought he would say something, but he did not.
This made her feel even worse.
Charlotte walked out and saw the children having a good time eating pizza. They seemed to like Zachary’s cooking a lot.
Charlotte did not want to interrupt them, so she just went back to read her ledger book.
Her life was straightforward and simple before her father passed away. She could buy whatever she wanted, but things changed after he left.
She spent her savings and had to sell off the inheritance her mother left for her to make ends meet, but somehow, she always ended up not having enough to spend.
Mrs. Berry asked her to start keeping a record of her expenditure so she could identify some unnecessary spending and cut those out.
She had better control of her expenses after she cultivated that habit, but her extravagant way of spending did not improve a lot.
For example, she still insisted on letting the children go to the best school although her pocket was not deep enough.
She would always go for the best formula milk and clothes when it came to the kids.
