" Hello, Mrs Charlotte Rodriguez!" Lauren waves his hand when she excuses herself from the distinguished guests. She feels uncomfortable when everyone wants to talk to her because she is daughter-in-law of Great Rodriguez who is called era's best business tycoon family..
However, seeing Lauren who is waving at her, she feels better. He doesn't treat her like others.
" I didn't expect to see you here. You normally don't attend any parties.." She said glancing at Edward who is busy with other business men..
" I couldn't reject the invitation seeing its from your family.. Anyway you are looking beautiful in This dress." he complimented her scanning her properly..
She blushed tucking her hair behind her ear.." My husband chose it for me. He has great taste on fashion as well."
"No wonder! Both of you have worn matching outfits."
Charlotte looks at Edward who is wearing a custom made purple suit. He looks breathtaking in every suit he wears. She couldn't deny it. Now he looks really too handsome that she feels jealous when other ladies are staring at him..
" Don't frown. Mrs Rodriguez. Or people will think you will kill someone out of jealousy.." Lauren chuckles reminding her..
She immediately touches her forehead , being flabbergasted. She didn't have any idea she was frowning..
" I am not jealous. Anyway. Enjoy. I need to meet others as well.."
" Sure." Lauren said but he stops her again before walking away with his glass of wine.." Let's meet tomorrow. We have something to discuss regarding the case."
She nods walking past him and stands next to Edward who just excused himself from the guests..
" Someone is too eye-catching that no lady can take their eyes away from him.." She rolls her eyes while drinking the wine. The jealousy is distinct in her face. Edward smiles turning towards her and holds her hands.
" But My eyes are fix on someone ethereal. Someone who was flirting with that man.." He said while pouting his lips..
Charlotte blinks multiple times with her red face. Did he just pout and watched her talking to that prosecutor? She thought he was busy with the guests..
" I don't flirt. I have no reason to flirt with another person when I have another handsome man in my life.."
" Now you are flirting with me. " Edward grins moving the strand of hair from her shoulder. He somehow regrets to let her wear this dress. She looks really gorgeous and most of the people are eying her..
" You are my certified man. I can do whatever I want. " She pecks on his lips not caring about surroundings..
" You are really bold. People are watching.."
" Is Mr. Rodriguez shy? Don't worry. I can walk around with the hickeys on my neck. You can at least get few kisses in front of everyone." she whispers softly Patting his left chest..
" I don't think it's matter of shyness, Mrs Rodriguez. It's matter of madness. Your boldness is being too much for me to hold back. Don't you think you should take responsibility?"
When he whispers back, Charlotte's face turns cherry red. Her body immediately takes two steps back with an awkward smile.." I need to visit Suzy. See you later.."
She runs away from him as soon as possible. Edward chuckles seeing his cute wife being so flustered. He shakes his head and watches her disappearing behind the walls.
However, he looks aside when someone calls his name.." Edward. How are you feeling?"
" Dr. Shayne. ?"
Shayne approaches him with a glass of wine. Her velvet colored evening gown looks way too beautiful. Her hand reaches his knees, gently pressing which makes him feel uncomfortable but he must endured everything.
" I told you we need to hurry and can't waste more time before your wedding anniversary. Why are you being so.."
" It's okay. I need to give time to Charlotte as well." he cuts off her words before wheeling backwards. He doesn't want Charlotte misunderstanding him of any reasons.
" Giving your time to me is more important now. She will understand if you give an excuse.." Her voice sounds annoyance. She has been treating his legs and they have started getting the results. But Edward skipped the therapy.
" I know. Enjoy the evening. I will leave now.." He wheels himself towards his room.
Everyone is busy with guests. While thinking how they will get Rodriguez's attention, Charlotte is sitting on the couch watching Suzy being clingy onto her mother..
"Sandra. Don't you think she looks like you?" Charlotte asks tilting her head and resting it on her hand..
" Someone asked me same question. She looks like me. Is there something you have hidden to me?"
Sandra replies observing Suzy who is playing with Sandra's hair sometimes with her phone. However, she can't get mad at the girl who is messing with her hair and her personal belongings. As like Suzy's present can give her lots of patience to hold herself back.
" You have hidden lots of things as well. Why not trying to discover mine now?" Charlotte hugs her knees drawing them on chest.
" What are you talking about? What kind of secrets may I have to hide?" Sandra's voice resounds Confidence. Charlotte has to give up seeing how innocently she lies. How many times she has lied to her?
" You not going on training but admitted into hospital. I am sure my bestest friend has never mentioned me about her deadly illness. Yet she gifted me a bracelet telling me she got one from abroad like nothing happened" She looks at Sandra with disappointed expression..
" I wonder how many secrets she have Hidden to me.."
Sandra who is watching her daughter suddenly stops and gives her attention on Charlotte who is still having the disappointed expression. She may not address the concern in her face but she is scared of seeing Charlotte being disappointed on her..
" It was nothing serious. Everything is fine.."
" Fine about what? You do remember everything. Don't you? But you are acting like nothing happened.." Charlotte asks in serious tone. No matter what it's Impossible for Sandra to forget everything in details. Although she forgot some minor matters but eventually she remembered everything. How come she didn't remember about her own child?
