When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1679

Chapter 1679 A Misunderstanding
Sitting in the car, Charlotte rubbed her round belly, let out a satisfied burp, and then sighed. “Mr. Palmer, you're really lucky. Your parent's cooking is so delicious.”

“You're such a foodie, you find everything tasty.”

Growing up, Eric was accustomed to eating exotic and luxurious foods, thus he didn't find much interest in the meals his parents prepared.

Charlotte complained, “How ungrateful.”

She handed the generous monetary gift back to Eric. “Here, this is yours.”

After all, she was just pretending to be his girlfriend. Besides, Eric had already promised to treat her to lunch for a year, so it was only right that she return the red envelope to him.

Eric, however, didn't think much of it. “You keep it. Consider it your remuneration.”

“You can just treat me to meals. I can't possibly accept this generous monetary gift,” said Charlotte.

“Do you think I look like someone who lacks money?” Eric asked her.

A twitch played at the corner of Charlotte's mouth. Indeed, for the wealthy, this monetary gift means nothing.

“Well then, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll accept it, thank you.”

She didn't open the monetary gift to check, but she knew for certain that there was a substantial amount of money inside. This is even more profitable than going to work.

“Sure. No need for formalities. After all, we're friends.” Eric drove Charlotte all the way to the Smith residence.

The sky outside the Smith residence had already darkened.

After getting out of the car, Charlotte waved Eric goodbye.

She didn't notice someone standing quietly in the shadows, his gaze fixed on her.

As soon as Charlotte stepped out of the car, she began to walk and simultaneously opened the monetary gift.

Sure enough, there was a significant amount of money inside. Charlotte figured no wonder it was so thick.

Suddenly, something rolled out. When she bent down to pick it up, to her surprise, it was an enormous diamond ring.

“Oh my goodness! It's so dazzling.” Charlotte hadn't anticipated that Eric's parents would actually place a diamond ring inside.
