Chapter 621
Chapter 621 Embrace a New Life
I didn't want to speculate about anyone with the worst intentions, but as a mother, I had to anticipate the worst-case scenario and think of ways to handle it in order to protect my children from harm
Moreover, Jenny had already shown great interest in the role of "children's mother", and now that this position was about to become vacant, I didn't believe she would not take any action regarding this
At this point, my heart became even more eager
I wanted to appear immediately by my children's side to make sure they were safe and sound
But I had no means of communication now, nor
any way to prove the truth of my speculation
All I had was a tiny, almost negligible amount of trust that Charlie had just established with me© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Perhaps that couldn't even be called trust, it was just a slight lowering of guard
But I had to take advantage of this and start my actions ahead of time
Clearly, Charlie had no intention of letting me leave today. After firmly rejecting my request to go back and see the children, he simply sat back in his previous position and leisurely picked up the coffee beside him
So I had no choice but to pretend to dismiss this idea and quickly followed, adding some water to his coffee pot
If being obedient and compliant could make him completely let go of his guard against me, then I would be very willing to do so at this moment
I knew I couldn't rush it, but I also couldn't
continue to wait passively like this
After all, I didn't know when Aaron would come back from Tokyo, and I didn't know if Jenny's patience could last until Aaron's return. My actions had to be faster than hers
Before this, the most important thing was to gain Charlie's complete trust
Within the confines of limited freedom, I began to strive to play the role of a future wife
No, I had even started doing things that only a wife would do. Every morning, I would prepare breakfast with the maid, and after finishing the
meal, I would voluntarily get up and send Charlie and the children out the door. Then, I would remind Meteor to listen to the kindergarten teacher today and give Charlie a charming smile
And that night, when he and Meteor came back, my dinner was already set on the table
Although most of the work was done by the maids, my proactive attitude in participating in the preparation of three meals a day was noticed by Charlie and was enough to catch his attention
I was trying hard to convey to him the signals that I wanted to live with him
Although Charlie showed surprise on the first day, he did not scrutinize me with a skeptical gaze
This gave me great encouragement, and I started to carry on with everything I had planned, even asking him what he wanted for dinner before he left for work every morning, just like a true wife treating her husband, being extremely gentle
Charlie gladly accepted all of this and started bringing me bouquets when he came home at night
He also took the initiative to mention that he knew [had a slight allergy to sunflower pollen, so the bouquets he chose at the flower shop were always far away from sunflowers
I suddenly remembered the day of the children's birthday party when Jenny placed that big bunch of sunflowers in the small garden. If 1 am not mistaken at this moment, assuming that I really fainted to the ground because of that bunch of sunflowers that day, Charlie's sinister plan to
take me away would have been executed on that day

Such associations have now become a driving force for me. I no longer have time to consider what motives Charlie may have for me; I am only afraid that Jenny will harm my children on the other side
I spent the next few days in anxiety and unease like this, until one evening, Charlie came back and told me something
"Morris has already returned from Tokyo, and the divorce can now be officially scheduled
Once everything 1s settled, I will take you to choose a wedding dress and wedding venue together, Olive. I will not let you have any regrets in becoming my wife."
His words were indeed touching, but they only
brought me unease
Superficially, I still had to pretend to be looking forward to it, telling him that I still kept the divorce agreement he gave me that day, just waiting for him to come clean with Aaron together
At the same time, I took out a bottle of wine that I had prepared in the kitchen a few days ago and opened it myself under Charlie's gaze
"In order to welcome the arrival of a new life, let's celebrate tonight."
