“Yes, Daddy. You can go and find Mommy,” Charlotte agreed.

The responses from the children irritated Justin so much that he was almost rendered speechless. “She’s working late because she’s very busy.”

“That’s not what it is!” Charlotte dug through the pile of junk food to find something she liked. As she looked, she added, “She still has time no matter how busy she is. She just doesn’t want to talk to you.”

“You think she doesn’t want to talk to me?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Charlotte.” Justin then caught hold of the girl’s arm. “Stop eating. Come with me to pick up your mother from work.”

“No.” She pulled away mercilessly, scampering up to Samuel with some crisps as she shot Justin a disdainful look. “You’re too stupid, Daddy. I don’t want to talk to you.”

Clearly, the little girl was spending too much time with Samuel if she was becoming as indifferent as him to the development of her parents’ relationship.

Helplessly, Justin stared down at his cell phone for a long time before finally calling Rachel.

“Hello?” Rachel asked at the other end of the line. “Is something wrong?”

“Haven’t you finished work yet at this hour?” he asked.

“Well, I just took over the company, so I’ve had a lot to do lately. Are Charlotte and Samuel okay?”

“They’re fine.”

“Oh-that’s good. Thank you.”

“No problem. You-”
