Chapter 317 The group of girls huddled together, shaking their heads with a sigh. “As long as she doesn’t come in last, it’s fine. If she does, Eleanor is going to get an earful from the other teachers.” With the final scores still being tallied, everyone in class spent the
Chapter 316 “Hmm?” Shirley looked at Charlotte, waiting for a reaction. But Charlotte just glanced down, her face calm and unreadable. Shirley’s heart skipped a beat. What if her injured hand really messed up her test? Biting her lip, Shirley scooted closer and nudged her chin against Charlotte’s shoulder, trying
Chapter 315 “Someone’s being extra sweet today, huh?” Anthony’s voice was low and warm, his breath carrying that familiar, comforting scent as he leaned closer. Charlotte’s lashes trembled, but her face stayed calm and collected. “Does your hand hurt? You should stop.” She didn’t reply, so Anthony dragged over a
Chapter 314 “Someone that pretty has to be a new artist.” Emily bit her lip, her cheeks still soft with a hint of baby fat, and stared down at her shoes. She mumbled under her breath, “It’s bad enough she’s prettier than me, but she has to be tall and
Chapter 313 A master was a master, no doubt about it. “Mm.” Charlotte blinked and kept quiet, deciding to let Kenneth bask in his pride for a while. A few minutes later, she pulled out two more sheets of music she’d scribbled down on her way over and set them
Chapter 312 Even though it was technically a love scene, at least the lines weren’t too over the top. For that kind of money, Charlotte figured she could probably suck it up. She frowned a little and flipped to the next page. Her face changed in an instant. What was
Chapter 311 Anthony kept one hand on the steering wheel, sneaking a glance at Charlotte sitting next to him. His lips curled into a smile that was equal parts helpless and affectionate. He didn’t say anything, just picked up his phone and forwarded a few photos of the homework to
Chapter 310 Inside the sports car, Charlotte leaned forward, searching for the seatbelt. Suddenly, Anthony’s tall frame leaned in close. “I’ll do it,” he said. Charlotte’s breath caught for a second. She sank back into her seat, tilting her chin up to meet his eyes. He clicked the seatbelt into
Chapter 309 Back in Class C, Charlotte peeled off her damp uniform jacket and stuffed it into her desk drawer without a second thought. The sound made Andrew glance up. He caught sight of her in a plain white short- sleeved shirt, her pale arm resting on the desk, face
Chapter 308 Olivia was in the middle of talking when she looked up and spotted Charlotte. For a split second, jealousy flickered in her eyes. “Charlotte, what are you doing here?” Charlotte didn’t answer. She just kept drying her hands, quiet as ever. Olivia, annoyed that Charlotte was ignoring her,
Chapter 307 The bell rang and the last class ended. Andrew and Parrish made a beeline for Shirley, looking as sincere as they could manage. “Shirley, let us copy your English homework, please?” Shirley took her time, pulling out her notebook and hugging it protectively. She smiled, all sweetness. “If
Chapter 306 He figured he’d carry her back once she fell asleep. If not, with the way she tossed and turned, he’d never get a peaceful night. The next morning, Charlotte woke up in her own room. Sunlight poured through the window, and for a moment, everything felt right. She
Chapter 305 The world spun for a heartbeat, then Charlotte found herself wrapped tight in Anthony’s arms. Even with their pajamas between them, she could feel the heat of his skin and the wild thumping of both their hearts. From where she was, Anthony looked even more handsome. His face
Chapter 304 Charlotte buckled herself in, keeping one hand on 98K’s paw. Her voice was quiet, almost expressionless. “Were you busy today?” Anthony understood right away. She was upset because he hadn’t called or messaged her all day. “A bit,” he answered in a low voice. He set 98K on
Chapter 303 “Really?” Kenneth’s voice was careful, almost wary, like he was afraid to believe what he just heard. Normally, if he so much as glared at Anthony, Charlotte would be all over him, fiercely protective. But today, not only did she not stand up for Anthony, she was actually
Chapter 302 “If you really want to give me something, just send me some pocket money.” “Whatever you say,” Roger said with a smile. After transferring the money to Charlotte, he told her, “Get some sleep. If you need more, just ask.” Charlotte gave him a small nod. She glanced
Chapter 301 Roger watched her, worry flickering in his eyes. She looked so delicate, like the slightest breeze might knock her over. After a quiet moment, he spoke gently. “I’ll reach out to Donald. He can send a few people to keep an eye on you, just in case.” “Donald?”
Chapter 300 Kenneth let out a lazy laugh when he heard that. “Grandpa, really, don’t bother.” Charlotte was basically already someone else’s, and Robert was still trying to send her gifts. If he ever found out the truth, he’d probably get so mad he’d end up in the hospital. “Just
Chapter 299 Tsk. One pitiful old man, one pitiful girl. Anthony nearly drove them both up the wall. Charlotte set her bowl down, lifted her chin, and nodded toward a dish a little ways down the table. “Roger, I want some of that.” Was she forgiving him? Roger seemed to
Chapter 298 “Let’s sit down,” Charlotte said as she handed the bowl of longans to the maid. She slipped her arm around Kenneth’s, her voice suddenly warm and sweet. “Kenneth, I’m so hungry.” “Huh?” Kenneth was caught off guard by how close she was being, her words playful and soft.
