Second Marriage novel Chapter 162

At midnight

Charlotte lifted the quilt and got up, walked out of the room barefoot, then went to the study. She found the contract and bank card that were thrown into the trash can by Kennedy. She couldn't help crying when she got them.

Kennedy was a bastard.

She took these things back, but he threw them away without even looking at them.

It seemed that when he gave these to her, he didn't care at all.

Originally, these things didn't belong to her.

But Charlotte couldn't help feeling upset when she saw his indifference.

In the dark study room, there was a depressed sob.

After a while, Charlotte wiped away her tears, then took the contract and bank card back to the room, sleeping as if nothing happened.

The next day she took time to the mall to find Kara.

"Kara, how much is our mall worth?"

Kara squinted at her, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"I just want to know the value of the mall. Can you tell me?"

"Such a big mall, you have also seen that the profit in a month is tens of millions of dollars. And it is still off-season profit. What do you think is the value of this mall?"

That was right. Charlotte could hardly estimate the value of this mall.

It seemed that she could not buy it for the time being. Charlotte bit her lower lip and began to think about how to deal with it.

Kara said exactly what she thought, "You don't want to spend money to buy a mall, do you?"

Hearing what Kara said, Charlotte was a little awkward, "It's ridiculous, isn't it? I don't know...why I have such an idea."

"No." Kara said with a faint smile, "It means you are a very thoughtful girl, not just thinking about attaching to Kennedy. I support you."

Charlotte's gloomy eyes lit up at this, and she looked up at Kara with joy.

"Do you really support me? But... you also said that the value of this mall is immeasurable, and I... simply can't afford it."

"I don't think you need to buy it at all. Silly girl, you can divide the next profit into percentage, and take a cut. Then give the rest to Kennedy. Do you think it is so easy to manage a mall? You must be rewarded as you put in your energy, and Kennedy won't lose."

Having said that, Kara could only sigh in her heart.

She wondered how the relationship between Kennedy and Charlotte was? It was obvious that Charlotte was very uneasy to take his things, and always wanted to make a clear calculation with him. If that was the case, then it would be bad for Kennedy.

It was just that she hasn't had a chance to see Kennedy recently, so she didn't know how the situation was.

"Really?" Charlotte wondered.

"Of course, but you have to make the mall's profitability better. Think of a way."

Charlotte suddenly became motivated and nodded, "Okay!"

After that, Charlotte signed the salary list, and then went back to the company to work seriously. She was learning how to do business during meals or during breaks. She bought a lot of business-related books from the bookstore.

Every day except for work and rest time, she was studying.

She was absorbed in them.

With these as motivation to move forward, Charlotte found that she had less time for wishful thinking. Before, she always struggled with Manfred and the relationship between her and Kennedy.

But when she had more important things to do, she found that these things could not stop her at all.

Only in leisure, or in the dead of night, did Charlotte think of these tangled questions.

But... she still didn't know how to solve it, and could only let time pass day by day.

But Diana seemed to have really done something wrong, and brought her gifts twice in three days. In just over a week, she received four gifts from Diana...

To this day, when Diana came to send things to her, Charlotte couldn't help it anymore.

"Diana, what's the matter with you, you always send me things."

Diana heard it and waved her hand awkwardly, "Didn't I explain it before? I brought it for you incidentally. You see—I have a copy. We are good girlfriends. Can't we use the same thing?"

"Of course, we can. But these things are too expensive, you don't have to buy everything for me. Don't buy it for me in the future."

Then Diana stopped talking. Charlotte was silent for a while and asked her, "Diana, do you feel sorry for me?"

Hearing it, Diana raised her head like a frightened bird, looking at her in a panic, "Lottie, why do you think that way?"

"If you don't feel sorry for me, why do you send me things frequently? Actually..." She paused, "If it is because of that matter, you don't have to feel sorry for me at all, because... neither you or me thought of the result."

Before starting the investigation, Charlotte had never thought that this person would be Manfred.

Although, she still hadn't believed it yet.

Diana raised her eyes to look at her.

"Lottie, don't you believe me?"

Hearing that, Charlotte paused, then nodded her head, "I believe you, but... I can't accept it."

Diana looked at her firmly.

"Then... do you like Kennedy?"

‘Do you like Kennedy? Like?’ If it was before, Charlotte could say "I didn't like him" with certainty

But now... she was also entangled.

Thinking of this, Charlotte smiled faintly, "I don't like him."

It was just that Diana's look darkened a bit, "Lottie, you have changed."

"Have I changed?"

"I asked you this question before, and your answer was very decisive at the time, not as hesitant as you are now."

Charlotte, "...really?"

She didn't even know about it.

She forgot...

Diana lowered her eyes. She became depressed for some reason. After a moment, her eyes fell on Charlotte's belly.

"Then you... don't plan to explain it to Manfred clearly, do you?"

Charlotte didn't pay attention to Diana's emotions, because she was tangled.

"I'm not sure at the moment, but...I don't think he will accept it. Besides, once this matter is said, it will definitely be a scandal for the Moore family!"

"So what?" Diana suddenly excited, "No matter how terrible it will be, he is your man that night, the father of the child in your belly! Don't you want to find the biological father for the child? Or you like Kennedy and want Kennedy, the uncle, to be the father of the child?"

These words caused Charlotte to be hit hard.

She stared at Diana in front of her blankly, feeling she hit her in the head.

Yeah, how could she... let Kennedy be the father of the baby in her stomach?
