With someone else present, Maggie wiped away her tears and slowly stood up, Reynald, you’re here.”
During these three days, Gustavo’s funeral arrangements were all assisted by Reynald, so Maggie <i>had a </i>good impression of him.
Reynald nodded, “I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to keep up with the work.”
Maggie smiled bitterly, ‘It’s okay, just bury the person directly, no need for any ceremony.”
Herte husband in heaven probably wouldn’t want to see that scene just now<i>. </i>
Maggie buried Gustavo’s ashes in the cemetery with only four people present.
Maggie was with Charlotte, Reynald, and his driver.
The funeral was alsopleted.
the Hamilton’s manor.
Jaxson absentmindedly stared at the phone screen for three whole days, and Charlotte didn’te home.
No phone call, no text message,
“Jaxson!” Victoria stormed into the study, “You’re out <b>of </b>your mind, how could you let <b>that </b>little bastard into the Hamilton family!”
Jaxson put away his phone and raised his eyelids, “He was just a kid.”
“It’s not your child, why do you <b>care</b><b>?</b>” Victoria <i>was </i>so angry,“What, you don’t want to give birth yourself<b>, </b>you have to make others do it?”
The man rubbed his nose bridge, closed his eyes to rest<b>, </b>his handsome face slightly tired, “Just let him stay with the Hamilton family for <i>a </i>while.”
“I disagreed!”
Heughed and said, “<b>It’s </b>not like <b>I </b>asked you to bring it.”
Jaxson, do you <b>really </b>not understand <b>or </b>are you pretending not to understand? What will people think if you <b>leave </b>him with the Hamilton family? How
will Charlotte think?”
Victoria wished she could <b>pry </b>open his brain and <b>see </b>if he and his <b>father </b>shared the same brain, if their thoughts <b>were </b>the <b>same</b>.
Jaxson pulled open his tie with one hand,“Don’t <b>you </b>dislike her?<b>” </b>
“I didn’t like Charlotte, but I was <b>clear </b>about <b>it</b>! She is still my daughter–inw! I’m not speaking up for her<b>, </b>I’m speaking up <b>for </b><b>a </b>third <b>party</b>?”
The words seemed to displease Jaxson, his brows furrowed slightly,“Caroline is not a third party.”
Victoria sneered, “With someone like <b>you</b><b>, </b><b>I </b>really don’t believe it if you say you didn’t <b>have </b><b>an </b><b>affair </b>with Caroline<b>!</b><b>“</b>.
The pure are self—pure, I don’t need others to believe<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Jaxson walked out of the vi and Cynthia, who was waiting outside the door<b>, </b><b>received </b><b>a </b><b>call</b>. She approached him and said, “Mr. Hamilton, I just received news that Gustavo has passed away. Ms. Sutton has been handling her <b>father’s </b>affairs for the past three days.”
Jaxson’s movement of getting on the car paused, his <b>gaze </b>suddenly <b>fixed </b>on Cynthia’s face, “When did it happen?”
Cynthia lowered her head, “Just three days ago… um, I heard that when the ambnce arrived<b>, </b>it was already toote, they had missed the best golden treatment period.”
Jaxson unbuttoned two buttons on his cor, looking increasingly gloomy. In the end, without saying a word, he got into the car.
In the evening, Charlotte waited until Maggie fell asleep before returning to Havenwood Apartments to organize her clothes, nning to move back and stay for a while.
She entered the room, and the living room was brightly lit.
Jaxson sat at the bar smoking, with at least a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray, far more than his usual amount.
In her impression, he didn’t smoke much, just asionally. At this moment, even though he had opened the window, a hint of smoke could still be smelled in the living room.
He looked at Charlotte, crushed thest cigarette in his hand, his voice hoarse and low, “You’re back.”
Charlotte passed him expressionlessly, changed her shoes at the entrance, and didn’t answ

She walked straight to the bedroom, took a suitcase, and sorted out her clothes.
Jaxson walked into the room and saw the scene. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm,“Where are you going?”
Charlotte backhanded him across the left side of his face,nding two ps.
When she wanted to continue, he grabbed her wrist and said, “Enough, Charlotte!”
“Not enough.” Charlotte stared at him, her eyes filled with anger, struggle, and the shackles of reason. The once fiery passion she had, now only resentment and hatred remained.“Jaxson, you’re just like Caroline, both of you deserve to die!”
