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 gave Clarisse and Janet a dispassionate glance before saying, "Anna's already sleepy. Let's go, Chlo. I'll take you home."

Chloe smirked, feeling a twinge of satisfaction at Clarisse's pale face. "Mother, you should rest early. I'm leaving now."

Outside, Chloe saw Charles putting Anna in his car. She hurried over and said, "Charlie, let me take Anna. I brought the driver today."

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

"Charlie!" Chloe called out, hesitating before sighing. "Our mother has been away from Brookville for so long. It's normal that she doesn't understand us. Don't take it to heart too much."
