“Lottie, he's a grown man. Don't worry about the change in his expression.” Fae did not have time to care about Joseph as she had been busy with work at The Peacock.
After uttering those words, she swiftly grabbed her bag and made a move to leave.
Charlotte frowned and wondered if it was just her overthinking.
The three then left together, and Joseph drove toward The Peacock.
As they drove smoothly on the road, Fae looked out the window and said something unexpected, “Lottie, I remember you have a driver's license.”
Charlotte blinked, not quite understanding what the woman was implying. “Uh, yeah!”
Fae grinned. “You'll be celebrating your birthday next week. What gift do you have in mind?”
Charlotte blushed, feeling a little shy. “I'm not lacking in food or clothes. In fact, I have everything I need, Mom. You don't need to prepare a gift for me.”
“How can I not give you a gift?” Fae held her hand. “We might not be wealthy, but in our family, a birthday celebration is an important event. It's only right if we make it feel more ceremonious.”
Charlotte recalled that only Lochlan would celebrate her birthday when she was in the Fraser family, and the gifts that Lochlan had given her were items that would appeal to young girls. Nevertheless, the celebrations often involved just the two of them.
Kate was unlike Fae. She had never discussed Charlotte's birthday celebration with the same gentle and joyful tone as Fae.
Suddenly, Charlotte felt as though the life she had lived with the Fraser family was a distant memory.
Joseph remained silent, his focus fixated on the road ahead. From the side, his profile appeared flawless.
The man's chivalrous and carefree nature made him exceptionally popular among girls. Furthermore, his background as the mayor's son made him a desirable target for countless girls who pursued him relentlessly.
Despite this, Fae was very selective in choosing the most suitable daughter-in-law.
She had carefully weeded out girls who did not quite fit the bill or those who displayed inappropriate behavior.
