Chapter 279 Do You Dare Say You're Not Seducing Me
Jenna swung the door open and stepped out.
Lily, looking all awkward, blurted, "Is that the dude you told me about last time? No way. Katherine was all over him back then, and Frederick still didn't give a damn!"
Charlotte chuckled. "That's what you call a man's feelings!"
Lily shot her a glare.
A bit later, Jenna came back with this young girl. She was pretty cute but looked kinda nervous. She softly said, "Mrs. Hawkins!"
Charlotte was stretching at the barre. Her slim waist and long legs made Brenda green with envy.
She even pictured Frederick lying on that hot body at night, having the time of his life!
Just thinking about it made her bite her lip in frustration!
Charlotte didn't respond right away.
After finishing her stretches, she turned to check out the girl in front of her.
She was a delicate beauty!
But she wasn't as fresh as in the photos, kinda had a mean streak.
Charlotte remembered Katherine's first appearance was drop-dead gorgeous!
Thinking of that made her feel a bit better.
Jenna handed over water and a towel. "Ms. Russell, have some water!"
Charlotte leaned against the barre, took a few sips, and looked at Brenda with a faint smile. "What's up? Need something from me?"
Brenda's red lips trembled slightly. She said in a low voice, "Mrs. Hawkins, I know you got beef with me, but you didn't have to go that far! I've been looking forward to my birthday party for so long, and now none of my colleagues are coming. I know it was your doing!"
Birthday party?
No colleagues showing up?
Charlotte figured it was Cherie's doing. Just spreading the word would make everyone avoid Brenda.
Cherie was solid!
Charlotte smiled lazily. "Really? I had no idea."
With a glance, Jenna took the water cup from her hand, and she continued her stretching exercises. Occasionally, she spoke lightly, "Brenda, you're young and beautiful. Why chase after a married man? Yeah, you do look a lot like Frederick's first love. He might glance at your face and get all nostalgic, but I don't really care. He can only think about it, after all!"
Brenda's pride took a hit. She didn't expect the lady in front of her to spill the truth so easily.
How dare she?
Charlotte, with a light sweat on her nose, said nonchalantly, "You probably don't know, Katherine is a no-go in our family. Even if it were her, she wouldn't be able to get into the Hawkins family!"
Brenda didn't buy it. She was young and beautiful; she didn't believe she couldn't outshine the woman in front of her.
Frederick was gonna show up any minute.
Brenda held a razor blade against her pretty face, tears starting to well up. "Mrs. Hawkins, you've got it all wrong. I never meant to mess up your family. It's not my fault I look like her! If you can't handle it, I'll just ruin it!"
Charlotte blinked lightly. She asked Jenna, "Is Brenda studying acting?"
Jenna coughed lightly. "She studied history!"
Charlotte nodded and kept on with her workout, but suddenly, six bodyguards in black showed up in front of Brenda.
Brenda turned pale; she didn't expect Charlotte to be so ready for this.
Charlotte said nonchalantly, "If you're gonna cut, do it quick! Frederick will be here soon, and you can tell him! I bullied you, and you can have him take you to the hospital!"
After saying that, Charlotte felt a bit stifled.
Wasn't Katherine like this in the past?
The razor blade in Brenda's hand fell to the ground. She trembled and said, "Mrs. Hawkins, I won't ruin your family!"
After saying that, she turned and bolted out.
Charlotte smiled lightly, guessing that Frederick had arrived.
Sure enough, Brenda bumped into Frederick at the door.
She kinda wanted to throw herself into his arms!
Frederick steadied her, frowned, and spoke to Charlotte, "What's she doing here?"
Before Charlotte could respond, Brenda's voice trembled. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hawkins. I never meant to ruin your family. Please reassure Mrs. Hawkins!"
Charlotte couldn't help but glare at her.
Frederick had Brenda escorted out. Lily and Jenna also left. After finishing her workout, Charlotte applied massage cream to her waist, rubbing it until it warmed up, feeling super comfy.
She already had a slender waist, and after working out, it looked even more toned.
The slender waist was delicate, and he could wrap his hand around it.
Frederick took the massage cream, holding her gently with one hand and massaging her waist lightly with the other.
Charlotte tilted her chin slightly, squinting at him.
Her gaze had a hint of provocation, which was pretty damn alluring. Frederick really wanted to have his way with her right there, but he knew that Charlotte was just teasing him and would never let him to go all the way!
He leaned in, his breath hot against her ear. "Your waist is so tight and your skin is so warm!"
Charlotte sneered. "Really? I think it doesn't compare to someone's face!"
Hearing this, Frederick was hit by her words. He should have been mad, but instead, he found it kinda funny!
Charlotte grabbed the massage cream and applied it herself.
Watching her serene face and her lowered eyes, he suddenly spoke softly, "Her face ain't as beautiful as yours."
Charlotte's hand paused for a moment, then she lightly lifted one leg and continued applying the cream. Frederick looked at that slender leg, even the back of her knee seemed delicate and weak. He had never seen anyone's legs so enticing!
He couldn't help it; his Adam's apple bobbed!
When they got in the car, Charlotte sat in the back seat.
Frederick placed his hands on the steering wheel and spoke in a low voice, "Ms. Russell, do you really think I'm just your driver?"
Charlotte was flipping through documents.
Hearing this, she didn't look up, only said softly, "I need to review these documents."
Frederick frowned. "Why does a woman need to make so much money?"
Charlotte suddenly chuckled. "This is what my honey left me, so of course, I need to cherish it!"
Frederick didn't say anything more.
He was annoyed by Charlotte.
Charlotte continued to review the documents, unaffected by him. Later, neither of them spoke.
As soon as the car stopped at the Hawkins Mansion, Lola ran over, her golden curls looking extremely cute.
Lola held her mother's hand and sweetly said, "Mommy, you look so beautiful!"
Charlotte squatted down and kissed Lola, then held her hand and walked towards the villa.
The winter sun was high in the sky.
She wore a camel coat, her hair lightly tied up, looking elegant and charming. Especially from behind, her waist was particularly slender and tight, you couldn't tell she had given birth to two children!
Since Frederick's return, he had enjoyed everything about Charlotte.
Her considerate care, their marriage, and her admiring gaze!
But when she suddenly stopped revolving around him, he couldn't help but feel a bit lost.
Especially when he still wanted to sleep with her.
Frederick didn't go inside, he stood by the car and slowly smoked a cigarette.
He was thinking about his relationship with Charlotte.
He started to regret saying what he did that day.
He shouldn't have said that Charlotte treated him as a stand-in.
Because now, she was openly treating him as a stand-in!
Frederick stubbed out the cigarette and was about to walk into the hall when Patrick came out with Gavin. Seeing Frederick, Patrick got angry.
Useless! If he hadn't upset Charlotte, would she be staying here every day?
Patrick smiled coldly and elegantly. "I thought you could hold out! What? You finally decided to come back to see your wife and kids? That pretty face at your office can't satisfy you?"
Frederick was taken aback.
He chuckled. "Dad, it's not like that!"
Patrick's gaze was deep. "Let me tell you, if you dare to cheat emotionally or physically, Charlotte will deal with you! I don't really care, as long as I have my lovely grandson and granddaughter! Do as you please!"
Frederick frowned. "I don't mean that!"
"You better not!"
Seeing that the sun had moved, Patrick took Gavin to another spot to bask in the sun. The doctor said he needed more sunlight!
That evening, Frederick barely saw Charlotte.
He didn't want to appear too eager, so it wasn't until bedtime that he pushed open the door to the kids' room.
Lola and Kingsley shared a room.
Kingsley was asleep, his little face warm and serene.
Lola was in the bathroom taking a bath.
Charlotte had just finished feeding the baby, her wool dress still not pulled down when Frederick walked in!
The atmosphere was subtle.
Frederick walked over and said in a low voice, "Is the other side feeling uncomfortable?"
Charlotte's face was expressionless. "I'll pump it out for Kingsley to drink in the morning."
"Let me help you!"
Charlotte thought he was quite shameless. They were in a cold war, but he didn't seem to want to miss out on any intimate moments between them!
He didn't want to invest emotionally but wanted to sleep with her!
Charlotte listened to the sounds from the bathroom, knowing Lola wouldn't come out for a while, so she wrapped her arms around Frederick's neck and said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Frederick's handsome face showed a hint of desire.
He held her slender waist, gently pulling her towards him, and said in a low voice, "With all the working out and skincare, Mrs. Hawkins, are you saying you're not trying to seduce me?"
Charlotte kissed him, just enough to keep him wanting more. Until he couldn't take it anymore, she leaned on his shoulder and laughed softly. "I'm preparing for a new marriage! A woman needs to stay in good shape to find a better man!"
She extended her slender finger, slowly tracing his high nose, up and down.
Charlotte's voice was soft and warm. "After all, I have two kids. If I can't capture a man's heart, life won't be easy! Frederick, teach me; how do I capture a man's heart?"
As she spoke, her slender fingers lightly touched his chest, slowly caressing. "Like this?"
Frederick's forehead was sweating.
His voice was hoarse. "Where did you learn this, Mrs. Hawkins?"
Charlotte suddenly pushed him away, started buttoning her dress up tightly, then lifted her golden curls and smiled slightly. "My honey!"
