“No... I’ve stopped using that phone number. Here, you should have my new one,” explained Chris.
As he was saying that, he passed his phone to Charlotte after unlocking it...
“Why did you change your phone number?” asked Charlotte. “Oh, I know... I bet a lot of girls must’ve had your old number,” she added.
“Hey, the past is in the past. I’m a different man now. I’ll only be yours in the future!” Chris promised solemnly.
“Hah! Only a fool would believe you.” Charlotte feigned a smile.
“I swear!” Chris raised his hand. “From now on, if I’m ever seen fooling around with other girls, then I shall be forever cursed with erectile dysfunction.”
“Don’t give me that bullsh*t!” said Charlotte. Seeing Chris being so sincere and honest, Charlotte finally budged and dropped the subject. Hmm, what should I set his name as in my contacts, though?
Chris took a glance at her and knew exactly what she was thinking about. Hence, he frivolously said, “Just put my name as the child’s father.”
A trickle of sweat was flowing down Charlotte’s forehead the moment she heard that. “You like kids?” asked Charlotte anxiously.
“I’ll love them as long as you’re their mother. I’ve got a suggestion... Why don’t we start making one tonight?” Chris grabbed her hand tightly.
“Stop fooling around! I have things to do at home.” Charlotte withdrew her hand and was quite flustered.
“Aww... Then how about we pick this up tomo-”
“Bye! Drive safe.”
Charlotte was still preoccupied with Ellie’s illness, so she wasn’t in the mood for a lovers squabble.
That being said, she was touched by the fact that the attractive Chris really liked kids.
This was because her kids, who just went through a lot today, would always nag on and on about meeting their father. Should I let them meet Chris? Will I ruin it in the future if I do?
“Just stop the car here. I’ll go up by myself,” said Charlotte after arriving at her block.
“I’ll walk you...” Chris was getting ready to unfasten his seatbelt.
“Nah, it’s ok.” Charlotte opened the car door and rushed to her apartment.
