When Charlotte took a closer look at the person, her smile faded gradually. “Mrs. Fraser?”
Mrs. Fraser gave Charlotte a once-over. The slender and tall teenage girl was wearing a pink nightgown, with red strawberries printed on it. Its sleeveless design revealed her fair shoulder and chest, as well as her straight, thin legs.
“Did you seduce my son with this figure of yours?”
Charlotte’s face turned pale. “Mrs. Fraser, my relationship with Uncle Lochlan isn’t what you think it is.”
Mrs. Fraser smiled smugly. “It’s not? Then, why are you staying at my son’s place and refusing to leave? Charlotte, let me be honest with you. My son is going to attend a blind date today.”
“A blind date? Uncle Lochlan is attending a blind date?” The color drained completely from Charlotte’s face as she stared at the proud Mrs. Fraser in disbelief.
No wonder Lochlan was dressed up so handsomely this morning. So, the matter he was talking about was the blind date!
But why didn’t he tell me? Why is he hiding it from me?
“His blind date is the eldest daughter of Wood Group. As a socialite who had just returned from her study abroad, she’s wealthy, educated, and has a good background. Now, look at you. What reason do you have to keep staying by my son’s side?” Mrs. Fraser poked Charlotte’s forehead with a finger that had a ruby ring wrapped around it.
Her manicured nails were decorated with accessories, and they stabbed into Charlotte’s skin, causing bloody scratch marks to appear on her forehead.
It was an alarming sight.
Shaking her head vigorously, Charlotte gazed at Mrs. Fraser as she hurled insults at her. Mrs. Fraser’s scolding echoed in her ears like piercing alarms.
No... No, it’s not like that.
It’s not...
Her face became so pale that it was almost translucent.
The more anxious she was, the more she found it hard to say anything. When confronted by the domineering and mean Mrs. Fraser, she could not utter a single word.
All she could do was shake her head in terror as tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
I don’t want to go outside anymore. The outside world is so horrible.
