Chapter 90
Charlotte felt a lump in her chest again, and suddenly Timothy’s hateful face flashed through her mind.
She was holding evidence against her father in her hand.
If she changed her mind, he would definitely go down with her.
“…Gregory, no… I can’t marry you!”
With those words.
She took off the ring, tears streaming down her face, and handed it back to him.
Gregory was stunned. “What’s wrong?”
Holding back her tears, Charlotte got off his lap. “I can’t marry you. Let’s just end things between us! I…”
Gregory frowned and pulled her back into his arms. “Are you still mad at me?”
“No, anyway, we just can’t get married.”
“Why not? You have to give me a reason!”
Charlotte just kept crying, unable to say a single word!
“You’re driving me crazy. What’s going on? Is it that you don’t want to marry me, or that you don’t love me?”

“No!” Charlotte sobbed out loud.
“Then what is it? Tell me, quickly.”
Charlotte sniffled, hesitated for a long time, and stammered,
“… Gregory, I wasn’t going to tell you this. But I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
Gregory’s brow furrowed deeply. “What is it?”
“I’m telling you, but you have to keep it a secret for me.”
“Okay, don’t worry.”
Charlotte choked with sadness. “My dad… my dad did some bad things!”

Gregory was stunned for a moment, looking at her in disbelief.
“And then?”
“Then Timothy collected a lot of evidence against my dad.”
Gregory’s face grew even darker when he heard this. “Did he use that to threaten you?”
“Yes! He said if I didn’t marry him, he’d hand all the evidence to the disciplinary committee and make my dad spend the rest of his life in prison.” Charlotte finished, unable to hold back her tears again.
Gregory snorted coldly, a mocking smile appearing in his eyes. “That’s it?”
Seeing him smile, Charlotte got even angrier. “How can you still. laugh?”

“Charlotte’s ‘sobs caught in her throat, looking at him in confusion.
Gregory pinched her chin. “Your dad has always been strict and self- disciplined. There’s no way he’s like what Timothy says.”
“But he showed me, it really was…”
“Silly girl, some things are just meant to scare little girls like you. Even if your dad had done something illegal, he wouldn’t have left such obvious evidence, understand?”
“…” Charlotte felt another lump in her chest.
“Don’t worry about it. Leave this to me.”
“Can you really handle it?”
Gregory smiled confidently. “If I can’t handle something this small, how could I be your husband?”
“Gregory, do you really mean it?”
Gregory looked at her with a doting smile. “Of course. Just relax and focus on your pregnancy. Leave everything else to me.”
Hearing this, Charlotte suddenly felt a warm current and a sense of security fill her heart.
The confusion and anxiety in her eyes unconsciously turned into admiration.
Gregory really…
She was head over heels in love with him.

“Sit down and rest, be good. I’ll go make some pasta. Remember, no running around barefoot.”
After speaking, Gregory personally went to the shoe cabinet and brought her a pair of cotton slippers.
Then he went into the kitchen to cook pasta.
Even though he hadn’t been back for a month.
There were still tomatoes and steak in the fridge, and pasta ready to cook. Plus, the garden at home had organic vegetables.
All the ingredients were there.
Once in the kitchen, he focused on cooking the pasta.
Charlotte put the pink diamond ring back on and happily sprawled on the sofa, watching TV endlessly.
She felt blissfully happy at that moment.
She really had found a treasure, to have met such a wonderful man.
***
Half an hour later.
Gregory finished cooking two bowls of creamy tomato beef pasta.
