Chapter 178 Try to Please Her

1/4

The next morning, Charlotte was jolted awake by a sensation in her arms.

When she opened her eyes, she found Mabel lying beside her, struggling to wiggle her way up.

Surprised, Charlotte exclaimed, “Sweetheart, what are you doing here?”

As soon as Mabel saw her awake, she froze. “Ms. Lottie, did I wake you? I’m so sorry.”

“No,” Charlotte quickly reassured her. “I woke up a while ago. I was just curious about what you were up to.”

Mabel blinked, her eyes wide. “Ms. Lottie, I couldn’t sleep last night and overheard some things.”

Charlotte’s heart raced immediately. This was the Hardwick Villa, after all. If anyone caught Mabel wandering around, it could lead to trouble.

Mabel hesitated before sharing what she’d overheard.

As Charlotte listened, she couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Charlotte looked much like Camille; anyone could tell they were mother and daughter at a glance.

Camille actually didn’t think she was her daughter?

“Does she hate me that much?” Charlotte thought, her heart sinking, and her expression turned cold momentarily.

“Sweetheart, don’t take it seriously,” she said softly, running her fingers through Mabel’s hair. “If you’re not happy here, we can move to Rose Villa or go stay with Diana, okay?”

Mabel shook her head. “I want to stay and protect you.”

Touched, Charlotte pulled Mabel into an embrace and kissed her on the forehead.

Just then, Julius walked in, the sight instantly tightening his lips into a thin line.

He stepped forward and said to Mabel, “My mom needs to wash up and have breakfast. Let her go!”
