Chapter 428

If you want someone to be your goddaughter, you have to start by building a good relationship.
Lavinia held her phone, thinking it over, then opened Charlotte’s social media page. She figured she’d start with something cute to break the ice, so she sent over an adorable sticker.
Sweetie, do you remember me?
At that moment, Charlotte was sprawled out on the couch, her long legs dangling over the armrest as she lazily played a game on her phone. When she saw a message pop up from “beautiful lady,” she arched her brows in surprise.
She paused for a second, then sent back a polite reply. I remember you. Can I help you with something?
Lavinia wasted no time. Well, my husband and I are still so grateful for what you did. We’d love to treat you to a meal to thank you in person, if you’d let us.
Charlotte barely remembered the whole rescue thing. It was just something she’d done on a whim and hadn’t thought about since.
It really was nothing. No need to be so formal.
She’s so polite, Lavinia muttered, leaning against her husband.
But Lavinia wasn’t giving up. No, we really want to! I hate owing favors. It keeps me up all night. It’s just a meal, and we can pick somewhere near your school. It won’t take much of your time.
Charlotte scrolled through the flood of messages, sensing how eager Lavinia was even through the screen.
There’s only bubble tea shops around my school.
Lavinia replied almost immediately. Oh, I love bubble tea too! Sweetie, this must be fate.
Charlotte stared at her phone. It was rare for someone as put-together and wealthy as Lavinia to actually want bubble tea, especially from one of those little shops near the school.
Fine, tomorrow at noon. I can only spare half an hour. Let’s meet at the bubble tea shop by the school gate.
See you tomorrow, Sweetie!
Lavinia was so excited she practically flopped on top of Matthew, grinning from ear to ear. Honey, do you think we should invite Andrew too?
After all, both Charlotte and Andrew went to Vanguard High. Maybe they’d hit it off if they met.
Matthew just leaned back against the couch, running his fingers through Lavinia’s silky hair, saying nothing.
He wasn’t convinced it would work out. He’d been close to Charlotte when she was tending to the driver’s wounds. The energy she gave off wasn’t something just anyone could handle. If he was being honest, he didn’t think Andrew was good enough for her.
Later that night, Anthony came out of the shower to find Charlotte tapping away on
her keyboard, a smile playing on her lips. It looked like she was deep in
conversation.
Anthony’s eyes darkened a little. He tossed his towel aside, walked over, and leaned in close, bracing his hands on both sides of her. His lips curled up slightly who’s making you smile like that?
Huh? Charlotte didn’t look away, just glanced up at him. It’s just a beautiful lady I
met by chance. She wants to buy me bubble tea.
A beautiful lady?
So now Charlotte was attracting guys, girls, and even random women. Terrific.
Lottie, do you remember what I told you?
Anthony tried to hide his annoyance. He tapped her nose gently, his voice low and rough Keep your distance
other people. It doesn’t matter re men, women, young, or old.
Charlotte’s perfectly shaped brows lifted, and a soft smile appeared on her bright
face. Men, women, young, or old?
Was she teasing him for being old?
