Chapter 901

Jack tried to calm his nerves, afraid Charlotte would notice something.

After taking the medication, Charlotte's face regained its color. She lazily stretched, feeling much better than before.

Jack asked with concern, "Do you feel better?"

"Much better." Charlotte blinked her doll-like eyes. She smiled and asked, "Do you like hugging me?"

Jack's heart tightened at the unexpected question. Frankly, it felt great, but Jack couldn't admit it.

So, Jack replied, "I was focused on feeding you the medication. I didn't think much about it."

"Really? You looked like you were enjoying yourself." Charlotte looked at Jack with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. "Frankly, it's quite comfortable lying in your arms. Why don't I lie on your lap and read a book? Is that okay?"

Jack was caught off guard by her question. "Aren't you afraid that your father will see us? What if he gets the wrong idea?"

Plus, Charlotte was cheeky and might have some tricks up her sleeve. Jack had experienced that before, so he had to be extra careful.

"Do we still need to prove our innocence? You already have naughty thoughts toward me."

Charlotte recalled how Jack made a move on her the last time, and her face flushed slightly. Her tone sounded strained as if she were speaking through gritted teeth.

Jack was silenced by Charlotte's retort. After all, the truth was clear as day. He had no comeback.

Charlotte was secretly delighted at how defeated Jack was.

She said, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. If my father comes back, we'll hear him from the study. We have ample time to move away from each other. Plus, as long as you don't have other things in mind while I lie on your lap, we'll be fine."

Then, Charlotte switched to a comfortable position, resting her head on Jack's thigh, reading.

One of them read "The Financial War", while the other read "The Fleeting Nature of Time". The atmosphere was filled with a subtle sense of ambiguity.

Charlotte laughed occasionally and asked a random question from time to time. They got along really well.

Suddenly, Charlotte got up. She rested her chin on both palms and swung her legs gently back and for asking, "Jack, can you tell me more about your girlfriend? How did the two of you get together?"

"Why are you interested in this?" Jack looked at Charlotte.

Charlotte blinked, laughing so hard her whole body seemed to sway. "I think I'm attracted to you. Judging by your

make a good boyfriend. As they say, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never lose a battle." .net

"My girlfriend and I are doing well. Don't have any ideas," Jack warned.

Jack could sense that Charlotte had something up her sleeve. She was eccentric and smart. He was wary that he would fall into her trap before he knew it.

"There's no such thing as a cat that doesn't steal fish. Besides, I like you, and from how you looked at me earlier, you like me too. How about we just get together?

"If you can't let go of your girlfriend, I can be your secret love. We'll keep it under wraps. It'll just be our dirty little secret."

With her languid posture, subtle touches, and suggestive gaze, Jack's defenses began to waver.

"What are you talking about? If you have so much free time, find someone else to bother." Jack intentionally pulled a long face, trying to hide the inappropriate thoughts running through his mind.

Charlotte saw what happened and burst into laughter.

"Alright. You got me. I just wanted to

see if you really had any

inappropriate thoughts about me and catch you in the act. Then, I'll

have proof to show your girlfriend what kind of guy you really are. Don't turn into a scumbag, or I'll be the one to obliterate you in the name of justice."

It turned out Charlotte was testing him all along.
