“Charlotte, just you wait.”
He had already prepared several letters reporting Gordon’s crimes, ready to send them to the Freyburn Prosecutor’s Office.
As long as Gordon went down, let’s see how the Lindsey family could continue to be so smug.
***
The Lindsey’s manor.
In the past few days, Gordon and Kathy had finally come to terms with their daughter’s pregnancy.
At dinner.
The dining table was filled with light and nutritious meals for pregnant
women.
“Ugh…..” Charlotte couldn’t help but feel nauseous at any smell.
“Mom, I have no appetite. I really can’t eat anything.”
Kathy sighed and looked at her with concern. “Lottie, you haven’t eaten much for several days. If this keeps up, how will you get enough
nutrition? You have to eat at least a little.”
Charlotte’s stomach churned with acid, and she looked completely drained. “Mom, I really can’t eat. There’s still some work at the company I haven’t finished. I’ll go back to my room to handle it.”

“Lottie, since you’ve decided to keep the baby, you should focus on your pregnancy and stop worrying about the company.”
Charlotte listened, looking listlessly at her mother. “…How can that be? The company has just started to take off, how can we give up halfway?”
“Besides, we’ve already invested so much money into it.”
Kathy sighed again, speaking earnestly: “You can never finish making money, and it’s never too late to earn more.”
“Besides, the money invested in the company was meant to be your. dowry. If we lose it, so be it. I’ve seen a lot of negative comments online lately, and I’m worried it might affect your pregnancy.”
“After all, you’re pregnant now. Keeping a good mood and having a healthy baby is the most important thing.”
Hearing this, Charlotte gave her mother a playful smile. “Don’t worry, Mom, I can handle it.”
“If I really can’t handle it, I’ll ask you for help.”
Kathy: “Are you sure you can handle it?”
Charlotte nodded firmly. “I’m sure, there won’t be any problem.”
“Sigh. All right then! If you really can’t manage, just tell me. Don’t try to shoulder it all by yourself.”
“Got it, Mom.”
As Charlotte spoke, she stood up, ready to return to her room to rest.
“Aren’t you going to eat?”

“Mom, I just don’t have any appetite.”
“Then what do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it for you. You can’t just eat nothing.”
Hearing this, Charlotte’s stomach churned again.
She was in the worst phase of morning sickness.
She couldn’t eat anything at all.
The only thing she wanted… was Gregory’s homemade creamy tomato beef pasta.
His pasta was sour and spicy, fragrant but not greasy.
Even with morning sickness, she could
at them.
“Mom, I want creamy tomato beef pasta, but not too oily.”
“Oh, you want pasta? All right, I’ll have someone cook them right away.”
“Okay.”
Charlotte didn’t say anything more and turned to go upstairs.
She returned to her bedroom.
She couldn’t help but open her WhatsApp chat with Gregory again.
There were more than a dozen messages from her, but not a single reply from him.
“Gregory, what on earth are you doing? It’s been seven or eight days already, can’t you at least call me back?”

There was no news or response from him at all.
Charlotte was distracted all day long; she hated it when people didn’t answer the phone.
And when the other person didn’t pick up, her mind would run wild. She didn’t even love him that much, but his sudden disappearance, this feeling of being caught off guard, was the hardest to accept.
“Forget it, maybe he’s really busy. At most, there’s only one week left, he should be back by then.”
“When he comes back, I’ll settle the score with him.”
Charlotte had no choice but to comfort herself.
