<b>Hospital</b>.
Charlotte asked <b>the </b><b>dean </b><b>for </b>the <b>afternoon </b>off <b>by </b><b>crossing </b><b>over </b>Caroline<b>, </b>and David decisively agreed.
She walked <b>out </b><b>of </b>the office and then she sent a message to Caroline in the group chat, mentioning that she had taken <b>a </b><b>day </b>off.
<b>As </b>for <b>whether </b><b>she </b><b>agreed </b><b>or </b>not, Charlotte didn’t <b>care</b>.
<b>Here</b><b>, </b><b>Gustavo</b>, upon <b>learning </b><b>that </b><b>Jaxson </b>would attend his <b>son’s </b>birthday <b>party</b><b>, </b>quickly informed all the <b>rtives </b>at home, his face beaming with joy.
After all, Charlotte had been married into the Hamilton <b>family </b>for so long, Jaxson <b>had </b>visited the Sutton’s residence only <b>a </b>few times, let alone seeing any
<b>other </b><b>rtives </b>of the <b>Sutton </b><b>family</b>. Due to <b>the </b>secret marriage, the rtives still do not <b>believe </b>that <b>Jaxson </b>is their son–inw<b>, </b>always thinking it is his delusion<b>. </b>
Maggie looked at <b>her </b>husband with a look <b>of </b><b>joy </b>on <b>his </b><b>face</b>, feeling inexplicably worried in her <b>heart</b>, “Dad <b>of </b>the child, <b>are </b>the rtives you called a bit too <b>many</b><b>, </b>didn’t the Hamilton family say it <b>was </b>not
public<b>?</b><b>” </b>
“Charlotte is worthless<b>, </b><b>are </b><b>you </b>like her too?” Gustavo <b>nced </b>at his wife and said, “No <b>matter </b>who Jaxson has in his <b>heart</b>, Charlotte is his rightful <b>wife</b>. <b>‘</b><b>m </b>not that stupid to let <b>them </b><b>divorce</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
“<b>However</b><b>…</b>”
“You <b>have </b>to think about <b>Charlie </b><b>for </b><b>us</b><b>, </b>at this time Charlotte <b>is </b>divorcing Jaxson, which is not good for Charlie <b>at </b><b>all</b>.” Maggie lowered her gaze, “I know, but… <b>but </b><b>I’m </b><b>afraid </b>Jaxson will be <b>upset </b>
<b>if </b>we do this.<b>” </b>
They <b>are all </b>our <b>own </b>people, <b>and </b><b>we </b>don’t publicize it. <b>You </b><b>are </b>worrying for nothing.”
Charlotte stood <b>expressionless </b>in the hallway<b>, </b>listening attentively to the conversation in the living <b>room </b>without interrupting. Charlie <b>didn’t </b><b>call </b>out to her until he went downstairs and shouted, “Charlotte!”
<b>The </b><b>couple </b>then <b>realized </b>that <b>Charlotte </b><b>had </b>already arrived<b>, </b>but they didn’t know when she arrived<b>, </b><b>or </b><b>if </b>she had <b>also </b>heard…
<b>Maggie </b><b>used </b><b>a </b><b>smile </b>to <b>cover </b>up <b>the </b>embarrassment on <b>her </b><b>face </b><b>as </b>she walked towards her.“Charlotte<b>, </b><b>you’re </b><b>here </b>so early. You didn’t even <b>advance</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
She said <b>lightly</b><b>, </b>It <b>doesn’t </b><b>matter </b>if <b>you </b><b>arrive </b><b>early </b>or <bte</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>

<b>Maggie’s </b><b>smile </b><b>froze </b>for a <b>moment</b><b>, </b>and <b>she </b><b>shifted </b>her gaze slightly, looking a bit <b>guilty</b>.
