After Kevin Clark came back, he took off his coat in the entryway, and the hair was on his shirt. He had no idea when it got there.
As he listened to Charlotte Lane calling his name softly, he broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
âLittle girl. I, I donât know,â Kevin Clark seemed to be afraid that Charlotte Lane would leave, so he held her other hand first. âIâve been in the office all day today, and I didnât see anyone besides Juan Wright. Really. If you donât believe me, go check Ryan Eastonâs surveillance.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Charlotte Lane looked at him without speaking.
âI really donât know how there could be hair,â Kevin Clarkâs expression at that moment was the epitome of helplessness, nervousness, and fear.
His ears roared, and the view in front of him shrank, until he could only see Charlotte Lane.
The restroom was spacious, but he felt the space was compressing, the surrounding air was gradually thinning, making it difficult for him to breathe.
âDonât be angry, donât get excited. Your health is important,â Kevin Clark said nervously. âOr hit me to vent your anger first.â
Charlotte Lane looked at him for a moment, then threw the hair in her hand into the trash can nearby and washed her hands again.
Kevin Clark stood beside her, not daring to breathe, with his hands sweating and his mind somewhat short-circuited.
He just stared blankly at her as she washed her hands.
After Charlotte Lane finished washing her hands, she dried them and looked at him again: âKevin Clark, if you dare to do something that betrays me, Iâll make you the housekeeper in Clark Manor.â
âI wonât,â Kevin Clark looked at her seriously.
Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows and looked at him as well, saying: âI trust you.â
Kevin Clarkâs muscles relaxed a bit, followed by feeling drained of all energy, his fingertips trembling: âIâm sorry.â
Charlotte Lane held his hand: âLetâs go have dinner.â
â¦
Kevin Clark didnât eat much for dinner, and after finishing, he went back to the North Court.
Charlotte Lane didnât go with him, as she and Natalie Wayne had a chat in the front courtyard. So Kevin Clark went back first.
On the way back, Kevin Clark only wore a shirt, and threw his coat into the trash can outside. He called Juan Wright and asked him who he had met when he took his clothes.
Juan Wright thought for a moment and said: âMorgan Mia, we shared an elevator. She left from the first floor, and I went to the parking lot.â
âWhy was she at the company?â Kevin Clark asked.
âShe was hired by Human Resources,â Juan Wright said.
Kevin Clark wouldnât interfere in the recruitment of non-important positions, and the Imperial Capital Branch had a manager who was specifically responsible for operations.
Kevin Clark was mostly in charge of the technical part.
He would only handle major events.
âDid she dye her hair?â Kevin Clark asked.
He hadnât seen Morgan Mia at Clark Manor for quite some time, and he didnât know if she had moved out or if she was still there but just hadnât come across her.
âYes, itâs red,â Juan Wright was puzzled by the question. âThird Master, whatâs wrong?â
âFire her tomorrow,â Kevin Clark said directly.
âHuh?â
Kevin Clark hung up the phone.
After returning to the North Court, Kevin Clark threw away the shirt he had taken off and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, he changed his clothes and planned to go to the front courtyard to find Charlotte Lane.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Charlotte Lane standing outside the room, holding a tray and about to enter.
Kevin Clark took the tray from her first.
âDid you take a shower?â Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows.
âWhy didnât you let someone else bring it?â Kevin Clark asked.
âIâm pregnant, not disabled,â Charlotte Lane entered the bedroom. âAre you really going to skip dinner?â
âI didnât have much of an appetite,â Kevin Clark held her hand and sat down at the tea table on the balcony.
Charlotte Lane sat down and said: âI personally brought it up from downstairs, do you have an appetite now?â
âI do.â
Charlotte Lane smiled: âYouâre just a few years older than Charles Amos.â
Kevin Clark smiled too and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
âWhen I said I trust you, I really meant it,â Charlotte Lane said.
âI know,â Kevin Clark replied, âOtherwise, I probably wouldnât have a chance to breathe now.â
Charlotte Lane didnât say anything further, sitting in the chair and looking at Clark Manor through the French window. It wasnât until Kevin Clark finished eating that she looked outside and said: âSo fragrant.â
âWhat?â Kevin Clark asked.
He ate all the food, even the cilantro that looked intentionally added to the soup.
âYou,â Charlotte Lane looked at him and said.
Kevin Clark blinked.
Charlotte Laneâs eyes were filled with laughter: âTime passes too slowly.â
âWhat are you thinking about?â Kevin Clark pinched her chin and shook it.
âWhat do you think?â Charlotte Lane said.
âDonât even think about it,â Kevin Clark replied, âI wonât cooperate.â
Charlotte Lane grabbed his wrist, bit the tigerâs mouth, then threw it away, looked outside, and said coldly: âItâs not fragrant anymore.â
Kevin Clark laughed, and reached out to touch her head.
â¦
Charlotte Lane didnât ask about the hair incident afterwards.
She even gradually forgot about it.
In April, during Charlotte Laneâs prenatal check-up, a minor problem was found.
Then she was ordered to rest at home for a few days.
Since Ryan Easton was busy during this time, Kevin Clark couldnât leave him.
To make it easier to protect Charlotte Lane, Kevin Clark transferred Alfie Ward from the M Continent and had him accompany her at home in the meantime.
When going out, Alfie Ward and Thomas Firway would protect her together.
After her nap, Charlotte Lane was bored. So she and Alfie Ward walked around Clark Manor.
When the two of them climbed the arch bridge, Charlotte Lane saw Charles Amos running over.
She grabbed him and said, âWhat day is today?â
Charles Amos looked at her and said, âTuesday.â
âSo⦠why are you at home at this time?â
Charles Amosâs small hand touched her belly, then laughed: âTo tell you⦠it may not be good for fetal education.â
âSkipping class, Charles Amos, you have a promising future,â Charlotte Lane whispered.
âHush,â Charles Amosâs index finger was pressed against his lips, âDonât let my younger brothers and sisters hear. Just this once, I promise not to do it again. I have an urgent matter.â
As Charles Amos spoke, he gently let go of Charlotte Laneâs hand and ran off, shouting, âThere wonât be a next time!â
Charlotte Lane watched his retreating figure, sneered, and immediately called Finn Clark to block him.
As she made the call, she watched Charles Amos run along the riverside under the bridge, telling Finn Clark where he might be going.
As she watched, a figure entered her line of sight.
Morgan Mia, whom she hadnât seen for a long time.
With a head of red hair.
Charlotte Lane saw her red hair, and her eyes narrowed.
The next moment, the hurried Charles Amos and Morgan Mia collided.
Charles Amos immediately plunged towards the river.
Alfie Ward saw that Morgan Mia deliberately collided with Charles Amos and gave him a push.
Although it was subtle, she still saw it.
When Charlotte Lane saw Charles Amos falling, her pupils shrank, and she immediately walked towards him.
âSister-in-law, slow down,â Alfie Ward caught up with her.
