Charlie was hiding under the table with his big eyes wide and tilted his head slightly as if he was puzzled.
The adults were really strange. They were sad, but they pretended that nothing happened.
Although the coffee smelled quite fragrant, it did not taste good. Why did Serena have to frown and drink it? If she wanted to try, she could add some sugar. If she didn't like it, why did she have to force herself?
Charlie looked curiously at the woman sitting on the couch not far away.
Serena was also looking at Charlie. The moment she saw his face, her heart was in turmoil. Her face was filled with shock. "Why are you here?"
Serena put down her coffee cup and hurried over to the table where the coffee machine was. She bent down and looked worriedly at Charlie under the table. "Come out quickly. It's so uncomfortable to stay there!"
Serena could not hide the heartache in her eyes.
Although she didn't know why Charlie was hiding there, she could guess that he had a conflict with his family and wanted to hide.
The space was so small that even a child would feel uncomfortable if they stayed for too long. If Charlie injured himself, or worse, if he hit his head, that could be bad.
Charlie could have hidden everywhere. Why did he have to hide in such a small corner? Serena's tone subconsciously turned serious. "Hurry up and come out. You can't stay here forever."
Charlie had originally planned to crawl out.
The table was small. It was easier to hide in the Daves family's residence.
However, when Charlie heard Serena's tone, he suddenly did not want to come out, so he shrank his head back. He looked at Serena stubbornly.
Serena was also stunned. She had seen that Charlie was about to come out just now. Why did he go back?
Helpless, Serena could only kneel and coax Charlie gently. "Charlie, it's not comfortable to stay there. Do you want to come out and sit? Other than me, no one else comes in. No one will notice you if you hide here and sulk."
Charlie snorted softly. He had already recognized her. She was the woman that his aunt had said his father liked.
She was so fierce. If his father married her, she would beat him up and scold him every day. If they had a baby in the future, they would not want him.
Charlie felt even more aggrieved.
Just as Serena was about to carry him out in exasperation, Charlie spoke in all seriousness, "My father won't marry you."
His tone was serious.
Serena stopped what she was doing. Her expression was also unnatural for a moment, but she returned to normal a moment later. "The difference between me and Mr. Daves is very wide. I would never expect Mr. Daves to marry me. Even if Mr. Daves gets married in the future, he will choose a mother with a suitable status for you. She will love you and be compatible with Mr. Daves. You don't have to worry about me. Besides, it's not something a child like you should care about."
"Why shouldn't I care? If my father marries you, you'll be my mother. Of course I have to care." Charlie was extremely serious.
That was enough to tell Serena why Charlie hid himself.
It was probably because the woman heard the rumors about them in the company and argued with John. Charlie heard something that he shouldn't have heard, so he ran out.
Serena did not know how Charlie would feel if he found out that she was his biological mother in the future.
It was probably as John had said. How could a person who had abandoned her child be qualified to be his mother?
Serena's lips curved into a wry smile. "Charlie, you don't want me to be your mother?"
