Chapter 216 The kids getting along well with him, that seemed pretty normal. Besides, she noticed how other parents, when watching their spouse play games with their kids, would laugh heartily or clap in encouragement when things went well, and get anxious when they didn’t. You could really feel the
Chapter 215 Your Your turn or mine?” Thorne asked again. Charlene glanced at Jasmine. “Let Minnie decide.” “Dad, definitely,” Jasmine said confidently. “Mom’s not really into basketball, but Dad’s really good at it.” Charlene could play basketball, but she kept that to herself. Since Jasmine had made up her mind,
Chapter 214 Jasmine ran excitedly towards Charlene, her little hand raised for a high-five. “Mom, we did it! We won!” Charlene grinned, giving her daughter a high-five. “Yeah, we sure did.” Thorne walked over, a smile playing on his lips. “Did you get it all on camera?” “Yep,” Charlene replied,
Chapter 213 Jasmine wasn’t around, so Charlene gave a small smile and said, “We’re about to split up.” Sally’s mom had suspected as much. After all, even though Charlene had a daughter, she lived alone just across the street… Besides, the last time there was a parent-teacher meeting, Charlene didn’t
Chapter 212 Charlene said, “See you next time,” before driving off without a glance back. Once she returned to the Ross household, Charlene headed upstairs while Carl and Helena Ross chatted about the day’s events downstairs. When Helena learned that Charlene had plans with Granger, she was taken aback. After
Chapter 211 Nadine and Carl came over, asking Daisy if she wanted to try out the water slide. Daisy glanced at the colorful water slide in the distance and eagerly nodded her head. The slide was on the yacht, indoors, and heated like a hot spring, so it wasn’t cold
Chapter 210 Charlene grabbed her laptop and headed over to Stewart’s place for dinner at Kenton’s house. After a delicious meal of roast chicken and mashed potatoes, Kenton helped her with her paper. As the night grew late, Charlene hopped into her car, ready to head home when her phone
Chapter 209 Charlene had just arrived at Jasmine’s school when she heard Sally calling her name. “Ms. Ross!” Sally’s voice was bright and cheerful as she ran over to Charlene. “Ms. Ross, last night my mom baked some cookies for you, but you weren’t home, so I had to take
Chapter 208 It was nearing seven when she climbed the stairs. Jasmine was already awake. Seeing her come back, Jasmine quickly closed her messaging app. Charlene acted like she didn’t notice and said in her usual tone, “Go wash up and get dressed.” “Okay!” Charlene was gathering her belongings and
Chapter 207 After giving Jasmine a bath and drying her hair, Charlene was also ready to freshen up for the night. Jasmine didn’t find her toiletries in her room, so she headed to the master bedroom instead, The master bedroom was pitch black and there was no sign of Thorne.
Chapter 206 That’s good to hear.” Granger felt a sense of relief and didn’t press further. Charlene exchanged a quick goodbye with Stewart before leaving the office. When she arrived at the house and entered Jasmine’s room, Thorne was seated at the desk engrossed in work. Seeing her, he glanced
Chapter 205 After they wrapped up the discussion about Vesta, Charlene turned to Stewart and asked, “So, what’s going on with The Henderson Group?” Stewart rubbed his nose thoughtfully. “Well, you know, Thorne’s a bit of an expert himself.

Chapter 204 Vesta listened and said, “Oh, I see,” fixing her sharp gaze on Charlene. “In that case, Ms. Ross, why don’t you point out the issues you see with this proposal? That way, we can work on improving it based on your feedback.” Charlene immediately recognized this as a
Chapter 203 Stewart had been eyeing a tray of pastries in the corner all evening. Just as they were about to head over to grab some, someone stopped them to discuss a project. Across the room, York had just greeted Vesta and was now nodding to Granger and Moran, “Mr.
Chapter 202 Charlene paused for a moment. York had asked her to dance again, and she could tell that his intentions weren’t romantic. It was simply a genuine act of apology and friendship. He offered his hand with genuine intent, and Charlene, not wanting to be rude, accepted it gracefully.
Chapter 201 As soon as Charlene realized what was happening, her first instinct was to push Thorne away. “Take it easy,” Thorne murmured, his tone casual as if he had anticipated her reaction. He tightened his grip around her waist just a little more. “You!” She couldn’t break free, but
Chapter 200 York said, “Good name.” It suited her to a T, though York kept that thought to himself. Their little exchange hadn’t gone unnoticed by Dalton, Moran, Granger, and even Vesta and Thorne were tuning 1. in. Swapping dance partners at a ball was nothing out of the ordinary.
Chapter 199 Granger’s expression changed ever so slightly. He quietly turned his attention to Charlene, without Stewart noticing. Stewart, caught up in the moment, leaned forward with an exaggerated bow and extended a gallant invitation, “The lovely and beautiful Ms. Ross, may I have the pleasure of this dance with
Chapter 198 Thorne casually said, “No rush on my end, you go ahead.” Hearing that, Granger replied, “Sure.” He walked over, facing Charlene and said, “Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Ross.” Upon seeing him, Stewart’s smile faded slightly, “Ah, Mr. Harden.” Charlene also greeted politely, “Mr. Harden.” Then, Dalton approached as well.
Chapter 197 It was all glitter on the outside, but hollow at the heart. Thinking this, he found himself losing interest and looked away. Dalton was indeed dazzled by Charlene at first glance. His thoughts mirrored Moran’s pretty closely. So, he almost immediately turned away in distaste. Kelvin found himself
