She instructed Anderson, “Get me my bag from the coat rack by the door.”
Anderson got up and passed her her belongings.
She fished out some lipstick and applied it using her phone as a mirror.
Her complexion looked a lot better after that.
Soon, Lucas received a selfie from Ashlyn.
Lucas had been observing her the entire time and nearly broke down when he saw her applying lipstick.
She hasn’t told me anything about the fact that she was poisoned. Even now, when she’s in such a bad state, she still tries to pretend that she’s doing fine. Sometimes, I wish that she’s just an ordinary woman that would depend on me.
When Lucas took a second look at the photo, he noticed that she had flashed an especially radiant smile showing two rows of straight pearly whites.
In the past, if she were healthy, she would not have sent such a photo so willingly.
However, she seemed to have changed. She was now more gentle and accepting.
Lucas’ heart warmed up a little.
Back at the Field’s residence.
Ever since Mrs. Field discovered that Charlotte liked her cooking, the servants seemed to have lost their jobs.
Mrs. Field would cook every single meal personally.
Joseph grumbled enviously, “My mom treats you like her own daughter! Every time I said I was craving for her chicken soup, she would simply ignore me, but now, she’s cooking for you every day.”
Charlotte smiled bashfully as she sat on the sofa. She looked cute in her pink dress.
Mrs. Field seemed to adore her more and more. She wished she could bring Charlotte to meet her friends and show her off to them.
As Charlotte grew close to the Field family, she noticed that the family of three was especially happy together.
Mr. Field was learned and gentlemanly, Joseph was lively and optimistic, and Mrs. Field was gentle and kind.
She loved this feeling. Although the two-story bungalow was small, it was cozy and warm. She loved the feeling of home it brought her.
Joseph loved cracking jokes and would often tease her until she flushed red with embarrassment.
