An allowed gasp escaped from Charlotte when Andrew glared at her out of nowhere. Her heart shrieked thinking why everyone misunderstands her for no reason. This time, she doesn't want to be a pitiful kitty who will hide behind anyone. She will see if he has any strong reason for accusing her, she has bullied his girlfriend and Suzy's mother.
However, one thing has surprised her. Why don't people investigate both sides before accusing another one?
After signaling the servant to take Suzy to kindergarten, she asks for breakfast. She will have breakfast first then will listen to him.
" Tell me! Is it true that you bullied my girlfriend and that's why she left the country?" Andrew repeats the same question once again. When she just stabs her fork into the cucumber slices, her Sharp eyes lift on him.
" Even if someone bullies me, I will never abandon my child. Andrew. No mother will abandon her children. Anyway, Who the hell is your girlfriend again?"
Edward and Andrew look surprised seeing her cold and furious expression. She is pissed off.
" Jennifer. She is your junior and a model.." Andrew looks a little calmer seeing her anger. He is not a good fighter when it comes to women's pure anguish and madness.
" Jennifer? You mean Jennifer Portia?" Her lips parted away with an O shape. Her hand immediately goes on her phone with a grin.
" You know her?" Edward asks calmly. Her smile looks Mischievous which indicates that she has something to do with Jennifer.
" Sister-in-law! You know Jennifer, right?"
But the brothers shut their mouths when Charlotte raises her hand to stop. She smiles when a soft voice answers the call that she dialed.
" Sissy! How could you remember that there is someone who exists in your beautiful life?"
Andrew immediately frowns when he hears the voice that Charlotte puts on the loudspeaker. He wanted to talk but Edward stopped him with a shush.
" Hey! Girl. Someone accused me, of bullying you. What should I do? You know I hate when people falsely accuse me." Her eyes are on Andrew with a death glare.
" Who is that MF? Sue him for falsifying and harassment. I will be your witness. Those sons of bitches have ruined your life. And what about those girls? I will tell all of their name who dared to hurt-"
" That's enough, Girl. Lower your voice. " She immediately shut Jennifer as she is talking with no limit. Edward notices her face changing drastically. Something happened when she was in university.
" The person who told me that I bullied you is your child's father." Charlotte finally spoke.
And the response from the opposite side is a deafening silence. All They can hear is the sound of breathing steadily.
" Why didn't you tell us that you were pregnant with a daughter? Jenni?"
Jennifer who is applying makeup on her face before heading out, sighs thinking that Charlotte is alone. " It's not my daughter. Sissy. I know Andrew thinks it's us. But I lied to him.."
" What do you mean?" Charlotte instantly looks at Andrew who is fighting to talk. But now he looks frozen on the spot with no movement.
"Andrew and I met in a bar after the election. Don't you remember when you were forced to take photos with seniors and other boys? On that night. But.. An accident happened. After Sister left the bar with you, she came back to take me home. However, She accidentally went into the room where Senior Andrew and others were sleeping.."
Charlotte looks at Andrew with kinda disgust, immediately asking.." Did they do something to her?"
" No. No. You know sister, She will do anything for patients. Andrew was drunk and puking. So she decided to help him and you know, Something happened between them. Sister doesn't blame him because she was also slightly drunk and airheaded. But When I told her that I was planning on going out with Senior. She confessed and told me to act like it was me who was in the room.."
She sounded guilty.
" What about the kid that you left to Andrew? Whose kid is it?"
" Sister's. Do you remember when my sister said she needed to leave for one year of training? She lied. She was pregnant and somehow she couldn't make up her mind to abort it. However, after giving birth, she almost lost her Mind out of nowhere. She couldn't even recognize us. At that time, the Doctor told me to send the baby to an orphanage. Sister needed to stay under doctor's observation for six months. I had no idea but leaving the child to her father and me leaving the country. About sister, You know what happened after."
" And you two never thought of telling me this, Jenni. You two said I was like your biological sister." Charlotte's fingers form a fist as her eyes turn glossy. She has no idea how much her best friend suffered. She acts like nothing happened. Everything is going well..
" I am sorry. At that time, it was hard for us. Sister's hospital bill and my study. All I could think was that as soon as I could leave the country. I will be fine. And you were severely depressed and having a hard time with those shitty bitches who dared to destroy your hardworking. I couldn't afford to talk about my sister's situation. I am sorry. Sissy!"
Charlotte sniffles thinking about the past. She thought she was getting comfort from her best friend but Her best friend was having a hard time, she couldn't even think about it.
" Jennifer!"
Jennifer startles when she hears a familiar voice. She immediately stands up, staring at the phone number.. " An-Andrew?"
" Who is your sister?" Andrew's voice shakes but his clenched jaw tightens more. He was having a delusional thoughts about the past. He loved her dearly.
" I. I can't tell. Sissy. Don't talk about it. Sister shouldn't know about anything. Please!" Jennifer immediately hangs up on him, shaking. She was supposed not to tell anyone about it. But she had no idea, Charlotte would be with Andrew.
" Sister-in-law! Please tell me who is your best friend and Jennifer's sister. I don't care about anything. I just wanna know why -"
" You abandoned Suzy as well because it reminds her about Jennifer. Didn't you? You got no right to question." Charlotte grits her teeth. Andrew has been treating her best friend's child as nothing. She won't forgive him.
" I am sorry. I couldn't able to stop myself from hating that she had a familiar face. But I loved the person who was with me that night. I thought it was Jennifer as she said. She even told me those exact words that the girl said. However, when she left I was nothing but time pass. And gave me this child. I was heartbroken. I felt she might have used me for this kid. I couldn't think of loving her thinking she might have been the reason for everything. I am sorry."
Andrew gets on his knees, feeling guilty that he has been hating his own daughter for no reason.
" Please tell me who the girl is. I will just look at her from a distance and apologize for her suffering. I should have been there with her when she needed me as her child's father most. I will sincerely apologize.."
" I think she doesn't know that she has a kid. She even knows you and your daughter. Maybe she isn't aware of having a kid in the first place."
" I think You should talk to her slowly, trying to know about her most first. Andrew!" Edward added after Charlotte.
" Give me her address." Andrew rushes
" You better visit her as a patient. She will listen to you carefully." Charlotte smirks, winking at Andrew.
Andrew hurriedly walks out after seeing the message that Charlotte sent. He smiles at her before leaving the house.
" Love will be in the air soon ~" She laughs.
" Like us?" Edward smirks.
But his smirk fades away when she rolls her eyes coldly.." I will be late tonight. Don't need someone waiting for me. Hump."
" I will wait until you return. Even if someone doesn't want me to wait. " Edward shouts, watching Charlotte walking out with a red face. He chuckles, hoping she will open her heart soon.
