"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Logically, you should have told me such a huge piece of news as the Emerson girl getting married."

Charlotte kept silent, and Anne did not explain further.

Rick understood instantly. There was a reason for this, but it was inconvenient to say. He did not ask more and changed the topic. "Alright, at least now we're back here together. It will make an old empty- nester like me less lonely."

"Rick, how are you an old empty-nester?" Anne teased, not giving him any face at all.

"I'm going to be thirty years old soon, little sister."

"Lottie, my brother said that he'll be thirty soon."

Anne's words made Charlotte feel rather flabbergasted. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

However, Rick smiled and said, "Just because you can't nag me into getting into a relationship doesn't mean you can drag Lottie into this."

"Rick, what I meant was..." "What you meant isn't important. I mean, don't worry about it."

Anne still had something to say, but was stopped by Rick's gaze.

Only then did Anne come to her senses. Rick was giving Charlotte an out. He did not want to force her into a situation where there was no way out.

Anne licked her lips. "My brother is such a nice person. Look at Shane. He works so fast. At least, he managed to get Lottie to marry him."

The mansion was very beautiful.

There was a small garden. In a solarium, there were exotic flowers and plants. The living room on the first floor was so large that it could accommodate a party of at least 20 people. The kitchen decoration used an open style, with simple but luxurious lines.

Rick brought everyone to the third floor to put away their luggage.

"To the left side of the second floor are the gym and swimming pool. On the right is an artificial hot spring," he introduced.

"Rick, you're really living the life!"

"I have a secretary."

Anne was speechless.

Charlotte couldn't help but laugh out loud. Upon hearing this, Rick turned around and gave her a meaningful look. Immediately, she stopped smiling.

Rick gave off a very positive and sunny impression. He was even more gentle and refined than Christopher. But for some reason, Charlotte was especially afraid of him. If he were to look at her, she would immediately adjust her behavior.

Each room was similar to the other. Charlotte randomly picked one and put away hers and Sheryl's.

The wardrobe was quite big. It could fit two months' worth of clothes for the both of them.

When Charlotte went downstairs, Rick was carrying Sheryl to look at the fish in the living room.

She walked over to Rick and asked, "Rick, are your arms tired?"
