Kathy said, “Be honest, when did you and Gregory start? How long have you been together?”
Gordon sighed, “Sigh. I never thought we’d end up marrying into the Bradford family after all. It’s just that now, instead of a nephew, it’s an uncle.”
“Tell me, with Lottie marrying over there, how is she supposed to face Timothy and his mother?”
Hearing this, Kathy couldn’t help but frown as well. “That’s true! We see them all the time, it’s inevitable we’ll run into that mother and son.”
Charlotte felt a lump in her chest as she listened. “Dad, Mom, after I marry Gregory, we’ll definitely live on our own. There shouldn’t be much chance to interact with them, so you don’t need to worry.”
Gordon still wasn’t reassured. “That’s what you say, but there will still be some awkwardness and embarrassment!”
The smile on Charlotte’s face gradually faded, replaced by a look of deep concern.
“Dad…”
“What is it?”
“How old are you this year?”
Gordon was baffled and annoyed. “You don’t even know how old your father is? Some ‘little cotton–padded jacket‘ you are!”

“Dad, you’re 45 this year. It’s time to retire and enjoy life. Why don’t you quit your job and come home to a peaceful, comfortable life?”
“Then you can look after your grandchild, tend to flowers, go fishing- how relaxing that would be.”
Gordon stared at his daughter in disbelief after hearing this. “…Lottie, what nonsense are you talking about? I’m only 45, and I’ve worked hard all my life to get to where I am now. And now you want me to retire? Did I hear you right?”
“Dad, I’m just worried!”
“Worried about what?”
“I’m worried…” Charlotte hesitated, wanting to speak but swallowing her words.
Gregory had said he would handle Timothy, so she didn’t need to
worry.
So, she shouldn’t let her father worry either.
“What are you worried about?”
“It’s nothing, really. I just want Dad to enjoy a peaceful life!”
“Heh, it’s enough that you have such filial piety.”
Kathy said, “Lottie, you need to rest for your pregnancy and you’re busy preparing for the wedding. Just put the company matters aside for now.”
Gordon nodded. “That’s right, let your mom handle the company for now.”

Charlotte shook her head. “No, that’s not okay. A woman must have her own career.”
“Otherwise, if you just live off others, people will look down on you.”
“Who would dare look down on you?”
“Hehe, let’s not talk about it. I’m so sleepy, I’m going upstairs to take a nap.” Charlotte said, unable to stifle a yawn.
She hadn’t slept well these past two days with Gregory.
Now she was exhausted and just wanted to catch up on some sleep.
“Go on, go on. Pregnant women need more sleep so the baby can grow strong.”
“Oh dear, Mr. Bradford sent over all these things. I need to get them sorted out quickly.”
Charlotte nodded, looking tired. “Mm, I’m going upstairs now.”
She returned to her bedroom.
Charlotte changed into her pajamas and took a hot shower.
Afterwards, she lay down on her own comfortable and cozy bed, ready to sleep.
“Bzzz… bzzz… bzzz…”
Just as she was about to sleep, Timothy called.
“Hello…”
After the call connected, Timothy’s casual voice came from the other

end. “Charlotte, where are you right now?”
Charlotte did her best to suppress her disgust. “What do you want?”
“I need to talk to you about something.”
“I’m at home resting.”
Timothy hesitated for a moment after hearing this. “Um… can you transfer two million to me right now?”
“What?” Charlotte let out a cold, incredulous laugh.
He really was in a hurry!
He couldn’t even wait before coming to her for money.
She couldn’t even imagine what her fate would be if she ever married him.
Timothy took a heavy breath, his tone tinged with command and impatience. “Just transfer the two million to me right away, I need it urgently.”
