The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Chloe laughed at Clarisse's words, but her gaze remained cold. "How do you think I should speak to you, Mother?" she asked, her icy gaze making Clarisse momentarily afraid, much like when she looked at Charles earlier.

Charles nodded. "Sure. You should head home soon. I'll be on my way too."
