“Brother-in-law-to-be is here?”
Suddenly, Charlotte’s eyes brighten up. When she lifted her head, she immediately saw Ernest.
The moment she saw him, she couldn’t move her eyes away from him.
She was at school during Florence’s engagement, so she couldn’t come back to attend it. Later, she saw the photos of Ernest and knew that he was very handsome.
However, as she saw him right in front of her eyes, she realized that he was more handsome than the photos. It was like a thousand to ten thousand times more handsome!
He was so handsome until he took her breath away. Her heart fluttered like there were butterflies inside.
“Litter sister is still young; I hope that you wouldn’t mind that.”
Melissa saw that Charlotte was dazing. She gave an embarrassed smile and tugged Charlotte hands, “What are you dreaming about? Greet your future brother-in-law now.”
“Oh, sis, Ernest.”
Charlotte came back to her senses and hurriedly greeted them. She still didn’t move her eyes away from Ernest.
Ernest nodded, but his attitude was still cold, “Hmm.”
This made Charlotte’s heart beat even faster. A simple ‘Hmm’ sounded so good in his deep voice. His voice was so attractive which made her addicted to it.
She looked at Ernest obsessively and said in a very gentle voice, “Ernest, come and sit quickly. What would you like to drink or eat? I’ll prepare it for you.”
“No, I’ll leave soon.”
As he said this, he directly looked at Nicholas and said, “Nicholas, in fact, tonight I came to bring Florence to my house for a few days.”
Ernest spoke in a calm tone. He expressed it very naturally, which seemed to sound like a matter of course.
However, Florence uncontrollably blushed. This kind of matter made her extremely embarrassed about it.
Nicholas looked at the two in surprise. After some time, only then he muttered, “You guys, planned to live, live together?”
Florence’s face instantly became very red.
She hurriedly explained, “Dad, it’s not. It’s Ernest. He hurt his hand and it’s inconvenient for him to live alone. So, I’m just moving over to take care of him for a few days.”
To prove her statement, she specifically held Ernest left wrist and raised it in front of them.
Charlotte immediately came forward, full of concern. She held Ernest’s hand and said, “What’s wrong with your hand? Why is it so badly injured? Does it still hurt?”
Another woman’s touched made him frowned unhappily. He pulled his hand back immediately.
A cold and alienating aura emanated from his body.
Charlotte froze; her expressions showed that she was stunned and a little awkward.
Florence looked at Charlotte in puzzle. She felt that Charlotte looked a bit too concerned about Ernest.
Nicholas secretly glared at Charlotte. Then, he smiled and tried to break the frozen atmosphere.
“Since you’re going to take care of Ernest, just go ahead. Let your mom to pack your bags.”
“I’m going too.” Charlotte hastily spoke. As she saw Nicholas frowning, and he was going to oppose, she hurriedly held Florence hand and said with a sincere face, “Florence, just let me go with you. Since it’s my school holiday now, I’ll be so boring at home. Just allow me to accompany you. What’s more…”
Suddenly, Charlotte looked shyly at Ernest, “You’ll be too busy to take care of Ernest alone. I can help you.”
Florence didn’t expect that Charlotte would suddenly make such a request. She froze when she heard this.
Then, she subconsciously looked at Ernest…
After spending so much time together, she knew that Ernest looked cold at the outside, but he was even colder in the inside. He would not easily allow people to get close to him.
Furthermore, this was the first time Ernest met Charlotte, it would be impossible that he would allow Charlotte to go to his house.
Ernest’s face still remained expressionless as usual. He didn’t say a word. He only looked at Florence, but he made people felt that he wouldn’t allow anyone to get close to him.
Inexplicably, Florence knew that he wanted to reject this request.
She hesitated for a moment, and said to Charlotte, “I’m only staying for two days and then I’ll be back. It will be troublesome for us to go together.”
