Chapter 178 Donny’s Unexpected Appearance
Just as Charlotte thought of the White family, someone from the White family appeared in front of her.
“Donny?” Charlotte looked at the person with hesitation. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
It was evident that Donny had been waiting for a while. Only after seeing Charlotte come out of the police station did he let out a sigh of relief.
He hesitantly said, “Mia, oh, sorry, Miss Clinton.”
Looking at Donny in front of her, Charlotte’s expression was somewhat complicated.
Compared to Diana and Yvonne, Donny’s interactions with her were not frequent. In her past impressions, Donny was always studying abroad, and after graduation, he even became a professor at a university, seldom returning home.
It was only during an accident in her childhood that Donny found her and took her to the hospital, saving her from a potentially fatal illness.
A hint of apology was visible on Donny’s face: “I recently went to work on a project and only found out after I came back… In any case, what Dad and Mom did was wrong. I won’t avoid
responsibility, and I will definitely pay you back.”
As he spoke, he took out a small box containing a smooth piece of white jade, “I didn’t know what had happened before 1 returned… This is a gift I brought for you.”
Seeing the gift in Donny’s hand, Charlotte’s expression was somewhat complex.
She nodded in acceptance, “Thank you.”
After hesitating for a while, Donny said, “I will pay you back as soon as possible. You… take good care of yourself.”
After finishing his words. Donny turned and left.
Charlotte watched his retreating figure for a long time but remained silent.
That evening, when she returned home, Anna was immediately taken with the piece of white jade in Charlotte’s jewelry box, “Mom, this is so beautiful!”
Charlotte asked with a smile, “Anna, do you really like this white jade?”
Anna nodded vigorously, “I like it! Mom, can you give it to me?”
“Come and ask me for it when you’re a bit older,” Charlotte replied, patting her head, “I’ll keep it safe for you in the meantime.”
Although Anna was slightly disappointed that she couldn’t receive the gift immediately, she obediently agreed.
Then, she mysteriously told Charlotte, “Mom, Ben has been acting strange lately. Every time he comes home, he just goes straight to his room. He doesn’t play with me.”
Charlotte raised an eyebrow, “Really? I’ll check on him later.”
“Great! Mom, you have to tell him that he must play with his cute little sister!” Anna said, tapping her chest with a somewhat cute expression.
Charlotte chuckled.
When Charlotte entered Ben’s room, she indeed saw Ben hiding something. He looked up with slight panic, “Mom? Why are you here?”
Charlotte did not rush to take a look at his things. Instead, she asked gently, “What are you doing?”
“It’s a secret,” Ben looked seriously at Charlotte.
Charlotte chuckled, “Okay, I won’t pry into your secret. But can you tell me if this secret will put you in danger?”
Ben shook his head.
“Alright, I respect your secret,” Charlotte patted his head, “But could you spare some time to play with Anna? You’ve been ignoring her lately, and she’s a bit upset.”
Unexpected Appearan…
4/4 Ben quickly agreed, “Alright, I’ll make time to play with her.”
Just as Charlotte was about to leave, Ben called her again, “Mr. McKinney wants to invite us to watch the meteor shower on Saturday. Is that okay?”
Charlotte was taken aback for a moment and then agreed with a smile
