Second Marriage novel Chapter 48

Yes, Charlotte understood that.

She should be satisfied that she could have another marriage.

But, seeing that Belinda did not feel sad and was not worried about her, Charlotte felt particularly sad.

Didn't she care how she felt?

At this thought, she lost her appetite too eat.

Charlotte took a few bites of rice and put down her chopsticks, “Dad, Mom, I have eaten at the Moore family and can't eat any more. I'll go up and get something.”

With that, Charlotte stood up and went upstairs.

Looking at this scene, Belinda couldn't help but press her mouth and said, “Does Charlotte blame me?”

Hearing this, Bruno sighed, “I don’t think so.”

“If she doesn’t, she must have good food in the Moore family and despise our food?”

Bruno could not help frowning. “What are you talking about?”

“Am I wrong? Just look at her face!” Belinda angrily threw the bowl and chopsticks. She did not want to eat either.

Charlotte went back to her room. When she opened the door, she found her room was in mess. Frowning, she went in and took a look at the room.

It was not like this when she left. Someone must have come it and moved her stuff.

Charlotte went to open the drawer of the cabinet and pulled out the small box. Only then did she find that the passbook was not there.

Charlotte turned pale on face and bit her lower lip.

Christina must have entered her room. Thinking about this, Charlotte turned around and went to find Christina.

Christina was now hiding in her bedroom and talking to her boyfriend on the phone.

“No, I really don't have an appetite. I don't want to eat it. You cook and send it to me? Ok, ok, I'll wait for you.”

There was knock at the door. Christina was impatient, “Honey, wait a minute, it could be my mother.”

With that, Christina opened the door and said before she could see who the person was, “Mom, I have said several times I don't want to eat, don't bother...”

Christina was stunned and stared at the man who appeared at the door of her room.

Charlotte looked at her coldly.

“Sis... Why are you here?”

Charlotte glanced behind her. Christina’s room was in perfect order, but her room was in such a mess.

Christina swallowed saliva, and then put the phone to her ear, “My sister came to see me, I'll call you later.”

She quickly hung up the phone.

Charlotte stepped into the room, while Christina hurried to stop her.

“Sis, Sis, what are you doing?”

Charlotte stopped and held out the box to her.

“Where is it?”

Seeing the box, Christina turned pale and averted her eyes. “What is this... How should I know?”

“You don’t know?”

“Yes, I don't know what it is, how possibly do I where it is?” Christina smiled and took Charlotte's hand. “Sis,” she said kindly, “you haven't been back for a long time since you got married. Does the Moore family treat you well? Are you bullied?”

“If I were bullied, do you want to replace me?” Charlotte stared at her calmly.

She looked at Charlotte awkwardly for a long time. Then she let go of Charlotte’s arm and turned around, “Sis, you know it's impossible. I have a boyfriend.”

“Yeah, you have a boyfriend, so you can do whatever you want? Dare you say you haven't touched the thing in the box?”

Christina suddenly turned around, “Sis, I did not take away your passbook. Why do you keep asking me?”

Charlotte, “...Did I say it was a passbook?”

Christina: ‘Oh, no! I accidentally spilled the beans!’

“Sis! That's not true! I saw it accidentally last time, but I swear, I really did not take your passbook. You tried hard to make money, how can I move your money?” At this point, Christina began to use the trick of acting like a spoiled child again, stepped forward to take Charlotte's arm, and said in a soft voice, “Sis, I am your sister, how could I do that?”

“Because you're my sister, I know what you can do.” Charlotte pushed her away mercilessly, and then spread out her palm toward her. “Give me back my passbook.”

Christina's face was blue.

“Sis, I didn't take it.”

“Give it back to me.”

She saved secretly the money for many years through hard work. There was tens of thousands of yuan. How could Christina spend it. She had to get it back!

“What are you doing?” When they were quarrelling, Belinda's voice came from the door.

“Mama!” Seeing Belinda, Christina hid behind her as if she saw God, “Mom, sister accused me that I stole her passbook, but Mom, I did not take it.”

Hearing this, Belinda immediately put on a straight face and asked, “Charlotte, how can you accuse your sister unjustly? Don't you know where you put your own passbook?”

“I left it in my room, but my room was in such a mess, and who but she could have entered it so wantonly?”

Hearing this, Belinda immediately turned her head and looked at Christina behind her.

Christina said, “Maybe it was a thief? I didn't take it!”

“Charlotte, Christina said she did not take it, believe her.”

Charlotte, “Mom, that is all my savings. If there was a thief, you would know. And if there was a thief, why did he only enter my room? If you and father didn't take it, who else would?”

“Enough!” Belinda was angry and said, “I took it, ok? We are short of money, so I took it to support the family? Is this the way you talk to me? Have you taken me seriously as a mother?”

Charlotte, “Mom!”

“What? Are you now proud to marry into the Moore family? Now you despise our food now? It is your second marriage, don't take yourself too seriously. I spent your money, do you need me to borrow the money and give it back to you?”

Charlotte, “......”

She looked at Belinda in disbelief. She could not believe that these words would come out of her mother's mouth.

“Mom, why? I have married to the Moore family as you required.”

“But why? Why you do this to me?” asked Charlotte with trembling lips.

Belinda snorted, “What did I do to you? You blamed your sister as soon as you came home, did I say a word about that?”

“If you don't feel good, get out of the house!”
