“Don't worry. You won't just get to meet Mr. Norton,” Charlotte went on, “But I will also cover the cost of the formal attire, and I will make sure that Mr. Norton is well taken care of in prison.”
Leila shook her head, “I'm not short of money.”
“What do you want then?” Charlotte asked, “As long as your request is not unreasonable, I will do my best to fulfill it.”
Still in Charlotte's embrace, Asel played with the buttons on the woman's coat. Then, she glanced at the coffee table and kicked her legs excitedly. “Charlotte! Superman!”
Charlotte also saw the toy on the table. She coaxed, “Be good. I will get you one later.”
“I want Superman!” Asel wrapped her arms around Charlotte as she begged. She was only a year old, so she was at the stage where she wanted the toy she saw regardless of the situation.
The little girl's persistence wore out Charlotte. At the same time, she didn't know why Leila put toys in her tailor shop.
Leila turned around and walked towards the table, picking up the Superman and handing it to Asel. Asel was overjoyed as she played with the toy.
Charlotte stated, “I will buy this toy from you!”
With that, she took out her phone, wanting to pay, but Leila stopped her.
Her eyes flickered upon landing her gaze on Asel. She whispered, “I have something your kid can help me with.”
“Is it hard to do?” Charlotte asked, narrowing her eyes.
