    Reynald hesitated fCor a moment, then hung up the phone.


    “Didn’t answer?” Charlotte wondered, but she didn’t know who was calling him.


    He smiled and put away his phone, “Probably a sales call.”


    He clenched the vibrating phone again, feeling conflicted and veryplicated inside.


    But he knew he couldn’t ept.


    The better Maggie treated him, the more she trusted him, and he would eventually soften up towards them mother and daughter.


    What he wanted was Jaxson’s “weak spot,” not creating a “weak spot” for himself.


    Even if he might have liked Charlotte.


    But he still chose the family over Charlotte.


    They didn’t stay long, then they left separately.


    Charlotte had just sat in the car when Maggie called her and asked, <i>“</i><i>Why </i>didn’t Reynald answer my calls? I tried calling him several times, is he busy?”


    Charlotte was stunned, “When did you call?”


    “Ten minutes ago.”


    Charlotte suddenly remembered Reynald hanging up the phone, and she asked him at <i>that </i>time, “Why didn’t you answer?”


    “I was <i>at </i>Charlie’s, thinking if Reynald wasn’t busy, he coulde pick me up. Am I bothering him by always asking him?”


    Maggie’s words made Charlotte’s heart ache a little.


    After Gustavo passed <i>away</i>, Reynald did help the mother and daughter a lot. In the mother’s heart, Reynald was like a son, but she forgot that they were just strangers to Reynald.


    Not even considered as rtives.


    He helped the mother and daughter out of kindness, not helping would be neglecting his duty.


    Charlotte pursed her lips, <i>in </i>the end, she realized she was naive. In this world, besides her parents, there’s no one else who would unconditionally agree to help her.


    She came to her senses and said, “Mom, Reynald is very busy. Let’s not bother him in the future.”


    Maggie also got the hint, with a slightly disappointed look on her face, “Well… okay then.”


    “Mom, shall Ie pick you up in a bit?
