Chapter 15

The next day, airplanes roared while landing at the airport.

Luke Jenkins waited outside. Not long after, a beautiful figure walked out. There were light curls on her head and the sunglasses that she wore covered half of her face.

“Charlotte!” Luke waved.

Charlotte Jenkins took off her sunglasses and smiled broadly. “Big brother.”

“You came back earlier than I expected,” Luke said as he took her luggage.

“It’s been 3 years. The business at the foreign branch has stabilized. The next step is to appoint a manager,” she said with a smile.

Luke gave her a gentle look. “You’ve worked hard. I was supposed to be there.”

“Don’t be silly. I volunteered to go,” said Charlotte. She suddenly asked, “Brother, do you know how Julian Shaw is doing?”

His hand trembled and he looked at his sister. “Why are you suddenly asking about Julian Shaw?”

Charlotte blushed. “Didn’t I tell you before? I like Julian Shaw.”

“You like Julian Shaw? When was this?!” Luke was speechless.

“All the while.” Charlotte was slightly shy as she admitted, “We secretly dated for a while, but I didn’t say anything about it because I was afraid you all would object to it.”

Luke frowned. “Julian is a playboy, he’s not suitable for you. Since you’ve separated from him, don’t think about him anymore.”

“Brother,” Charlotte said stubbornly, “Julian isn’t a playboy. He just hasn’t settled down. Previously, we were still young, so it was normal to break up and patch up. Now that we aren’t that young anymore, either I or Julian should settle down.”

“Even if you want to settle down, it shouldn’t be with Julian. Charlotte, listen to me. A leopard never changes its spots! You are the princess of the Jenkins family. Any man would want to be with you. You don’t have to be so adamant about him being the one,” Luke said firmly.

Charlotte smiled bitterly. “Brother, do you think I’ve never tried? Why do you think I went abroad when I broke up with him 3 years ago? Because I know that he’s a destructive volcano and I didn’t want to be a self-destructive moth. During my time abroad, I tried being with other people, but it didn’t work no matter what. Now that three years have passed, I don’t want to struggle anymore. I’m gonna be with him for the rest of my life.”

Charlotte’s usual pride in her eyes shifted into a glimmer of loneliness.

Luke could not help feeling heartbroken. “Charlotte, you…”

“Brother, please don’t. I can’t forget about him and I’m going to stick to him for the rest of this life.” Charlotte forced a smile. “You just have to tell me how he’s been doing.”

“How different can things be with him? He still has women around him and not a single one stays for long.” Speaking about Julian’s women reminded Luke of Susan’s pretty face and it caused an unexplained surge of emotions to rise in his heart.

“That’s great.” Charlotte was actually relieved.

“That’s great?” Luke did not understand her reaction.

“That means he hasn’t settled down yet,” Charlotte said confidently, “Since he still doesn’t have his true love, why can’t I be the one? Whether it’s my looks or family background, I believe that I can match him and he doesn’t have a reason to reject me!”

“You…”

“Okay, brother, you don’t have to give me advice anymore. I’ll decide for myself.” Charlotte replied with a smile, “Let’s go home. Don’t tell Mom about me and Julian.”

Luke had no choice but to agree.

At the Jenkins residence, Charlotte was reading about information related to Julian with a gleam of determination flash in her eyes.

‘Julian Shaw, I was too naive back then and couldn’t get your attention, but now I’m no longer the same person I used to be. You will eventually be mine, entirely mine.’

She recollected herself and picked up the phone to dial a familiar number.

Not long after, someone on the other end answered lazily, “Hello?”

Charlotte suppressed her excitement and said, “Julian, I’m back!”

“Oh.”

That simple reply put out most of Charlotte’s enthusiasm. She gritted her teeth. “You...don’t you have anything else to say?”

After a long silence, Julian asked, “Who are you?”

Who!? Are!? You!?

Charlotte was so annoyed that she almost smashed the phone. She drew in a deep breath and said, “I’m Charlotte Jenkins.”

“Oh.” After another simple acknowledgment, Julian said casually, “Ah, Miss Jenkins! Welcome back.”

Charlotte was shaken. After a long while, she softened her tone, “Julian, are you still angry at me for going abroad suddenly? It was too sudden and I couldn’t do anything about it.”

“Why would I be angry that you went abroad?” Julian was confused. “Although we dated for a week and then we broke up, where you go doesn’t concern me, does it?”

CEO Shaw’s women had never lasted more than a week including Charlotte Jenkins.

Julian’s tone was cold and Charlotte clenched her teeth without even realizing it.

She did not believe it! She did not believe that she was the same as the other women in Julian’s eyes! She was Charlotte Jenkins!

Julian would never be unconcerned about her. Therefore, he was definitely angry. He had to be.

Charlotte continued to be gentle as she said, “Julian, why don’t we set a time to meet up? I...I miss you very much.”

“Nope. I don’t like to meet up with my ex-girlfriends,” Julian said uninterestedly, then he hung up.

“Julian Shaw!” Charlotte threw her phone on the floor in a fit of anger. This man was really annoying! However, she still chose him.

‘Julian Shaw, I’ll never give up!’

Since Julian refused to meet her, she would go over to meet him.

Charlotte searched for the information of the women that Julian was recently involved with and it brought her to Cheryl Young who revealed Julian’s current house address.

After getting the address, Charlotte grinned in satisfaction. ‘Julian Shaw, don’t you think of running away from me.’

At the Shaw mansion, Susan was doing some spring cleaning around the fence while humming a tune.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“Please wait for a moment,” Susan called out as she put the cloth down and cleaned her hands. Then she opened the door.

At the door stood a powerful, unfriendly woman who exuded a tremendous aura.

“You are…?” Susan asked curiously.

Charlotte frowned. “You must be the servant Cheryl Young was talking about, aren’t you? Where’s Julian? I’m looking for him.”
