Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 281 - Bab 290

After leaving the hospital, Charlotte went straight to the old mansion. Francine's birthday was in two days, but the house was already bustling with activity. It was different from previous years, and this year was especially lively.Starting from the main gate, she made her way through the garden, passed by the library, and finally arrived at the main house. Not only were there distant relatives from the family but even a few shareholders had come.As she entered, Francine was sitting on a mahogany bench, surrounded by a group of young girls, with Michelle sitting closest to her. When they saw her, the girls fell silent for a moment. Then, one by one, they greeted her out of politeness. Francine beckoned to her. "Charlotte, come here."Charlotte smiled and walked forward, and the others had no choice but to make way for her, allowing her to sit on the right side of Francine. Michelle sat on the other side, her eyes filled with disdain. The others lost interest and quietly dispers

Inside the living room. Griffith sat at the edge of the dining table with an unsightly expression. Charlotte led Ash and Julie to discuss secrets in the bedroom not far away. Griffith closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.The door opened. Charlotte walked out and left without so much as glancing at him. Griffith was left both speechless and furious with her attitude. Meanwhile, Ash came out of the room, followed by Julie."Julie, bring the dishes out. It's time to eat.""Okay!"The two of them started bustling about.After a while, three large bowls of dishes were placed on the table. Julie picked at her food and Ash ate heartily, but Griffith didn't touch his plate. He was watching Ash."What did she say?" he asked.Ash looked up. "Sorry, young master, I can't tell you."Griffith remained expressionless. "Are you defying me?""Sorry, young master, I have my privacy.""Privacy?""Two people establishing non-public social relationships is normal."Gr

Since Alana's passing, Francine hasn't hosted a grand banquet like this in over a decade. This was the first time in more than ten years.Charlotte sat in the car, observing the people outside. Every one of them was a leader in their respective fields, including both white and black individuals. At a glance, she had the feeling that people from all corners of the world had gathered here.The car stopped in front of the main residence, and she got out of the car with Griffith. Suddenly, she found herself facing a wall of cameras.She froze for a moment, her breath caught in her throat. Then, a hand reached out and covered half of her face, pulling her gently, and she was pressed into someone's chest. A faint fragrance filled her nose, and her forehead touched his chin.In the next second, the camera flashes went off, creating a barrage of blinding lights. Charlotte's body stiffened. She hadn't realized there would be reporters here.Griffith hadn't noticed her unease. She hadn't ap

When Francine entered the small living room, the wealthy ladies who had originally not been getting along with Rebecca and the others also joined in, offering their birthday wishes one by one.As the center of attention, Michelle held her chin up with an air of pride as if she were a proud peacock. Maybe she herself thought that she was the ‘swan’ among the ducklings.Charlotte lowered her head and sipped her tea, her lips curved in a mocking smile.During the conversation, Rebecca deliberately said, "Michelle, you must have prepared the most splendid gift for Grandma on this special occasion, right?"Michelle smirked. "I'm just a junior, so my gift can't compare to yours. But I've put some thought into it."This response was quite praiseworthy, in Charlotte's opinion, given Michelle's intelligence. Unfortunately, the people in the room were all seasoned veterans, and handling Michelle was a matter of a few words. As expected, Rebecca and the others supported and urged her to show

Katie was different from Michelle. She was intelligent and had a purpose. Attending this birthday banquet was harmful rather than beneficial to her. However, she had to come because she needed to confirm whether Charlotte was pregnant or not. If she was pregnant, Katie would have to deal with the child tonight!Their eyes met, and Katie fixed her gaze on Charlotte's face. Her face was beautiful, yet pale. The restroom was filled with a strong aroma, and after Charlotte spoke, she immediately wrinkled her brow in discomfort.She replied calmly, "It's only appropriate for me to come and wish Grandma a happy birthday. Why would it be embarrassing?"As she finished speaking, she suddenly turned toward Charlotte. Charlotte seemed taken aback for a moment, then relaxed. Her hand instinctively protected her lower abdomen, but she quickly moved it away.Katie caught this small gesture, and anxiety filled her heart. Her gaze shifted to Charlotte's handbag. Then, she casually picked up the h
