Chapter 44
The door of Charlie’s study was not closed, and Lauren walked to the door, leaned over, and listened
for a while. There was no
sound again so Lauren knocked the door, “Mr. Frank, are you alright?”
No one answered.
Lauren was worried about Charlie, so she pushed the door and walked in.
The study was large, with the bookcases and floor in the color of wood. On the right hand side was a
large table with a computer
and a stack of papers on it. At the first glance, Lauren did not see anyone in the study, and when she
looked closely, she saw Charlie.
It turned out that he was blocked by the curtains. Charlie sat on the bay window, almost invisible in the
dark curtains. Lauren
walked over.
There was a solid wooden chair on the ground, and Charlie sat on the bay window, with his legs folded.
From Lauren’s perspective, she could see the bruises on his toes. Lauren guessed that maybe he was
smashed by the chair accidentally.
“Are you all right?” Lauren bent down in front of Charlie and asked with concern.
Charlie now realized that there was a person in his study. He was a little surprised and then looked up
at her. Charlie said to
Lauren. “Sorry to disturb you.”
He was very polite and soft, completely different from the previous days. It seemed that he had
changed a lot.
Seeing that Charlie was injured, she was worried about him. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Do you feel alright? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?” Lauren asked.
Charlie shook his head and said, “Thank you for your caring. I will apply the medicine later by myself.”
“I want to know if there is anything that I can help.” Lauren asked.
Charlie lowered his head, but in fact, he was smiling. There was a hint of apology in his expression and
he said, “I should have
said sorry to you on that day.”
Lauren raised her head with confusion, but she still looked gorgeous, which made Charlie want to pull
her closer and kiss her
fiercely.
Charlie turned his head because he thought he would lose control if he kept looking at Lauren who was
so beautiful. Then he
said, “I am sorry for what I did a few days ago.”
Now Lauren understood.
Charlie explained, “There were many women trying to approach me through Leo because they knew
Leo was my son and he was very important to me. So I was not very polite to you that day. I am sorry.”
Lauren didn’t speak and in her heat, she had forgiven Charlie.
Charlie took a glance at Lauren and when he saw she had no reaction, he immediately gave an
example to imply that he didn’t lie to Lauren, “Last year, there was also a lady whom Leo liked very
much and frequently invited her to our home. That lady also liked Leo very much and gave him a lot of
gifts. Leo even told me that he wanted that woman to be his mother.”
Hearing this, Lauren subconsciously frowned, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Lauren herself
didn’t know why. Charlie continued and his voice was very charming and convincing. “At that moment, I
thought that woman wanted to use Leo to approach me and marry into the Frank family. But I didn’t
expected her…”
Charlie paused for a while, and suddenly Lauren had a bad feeling.
Soon Charlie said, “She was much ‘ambitious’ that I thought. She deliberately got close to Leo, and
wanted to kidnap him to
threaten me.”

Hearing this, Jennifer felt sympathy for Leo and her heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, which
even made her shiver in
