Chapter 95 Charlotte, You Remind Me of an Acquaintance
When they got into the car, they were already running late. Charlotte sat next to Frederick, barely daring to look at his handsome profile. She couldn't help but wonder how long had it been since he touched a woman last time. He wanted it day and night.
Probably guessing what she was thinking, Frederick stopped the car at the red light at the intersection ahead. He held her hand, gently stroking her palm. "What do you think?"
Charlotte didn't want to guess. She turned her head to look out the window, her cheeks slightly flushed, trying to hide her embarrassment.
Frederick lightly brushed her delicate cheek and smiled. "I'm not as wild as you think. I don't have other women around me. I'm so busy with work that I don't have time to fool around with women!"
Charlotte's face turned red, and her heart raced.If he wasn't like this by natare, why his libido was out of control now?
Frederick leaned close to her ear and deliberately said, "Ms. Russell, aren't you always the one who can't wait?"
Charlotte, being so inexperienced, couldn't handle him like this. She was so angry that she ignored him.
But despite her anger, she gave Frederick face at the banquet.
Frederick was well-known and powerful in Syeattel. As soon as they entered the banquet hall, they were surrounded by people flattering him, and they were also amazed by Frederick's date.
Recently, there had been rumors that Frederick was spoiling a woman, and everyone was curious to see her. Now that they saw her, she was indeed beautiful, with gentle features that made men want to protect her.
While Frederick greeted people, Charlotte held onto his arm, sensibly not interrupting.
Frederick, worried she might be bored, wanted to take her to get some food and sit down.
"Frederick." A soft voice called out, and Chloe came over, holding Ethan's arm.
When Charlotte saw Ethan, her body tensed slightly. She hadn't expected to see him in such a setting.
Frederick noticed her reaction. He glanced at her, then smiled faintly at Chloe. "I thought you weren't coming," he said.
Chloe leaned softly against Ethan's shoulder, acting coy. "Ethan wanted to meet Mr. Mitchell, so I brought him over."
She played with Ethan's shirt buttons and teased. "I never knew you had such reverence for art."
Ethan said a few words to appease her, but his eyes were fixed on Charlotte.
Frederick sneered. He knew exactly why Ethan was here. He just wanted to see Charlotte. Sometimes, Frederick admired Ethan's persistence. He had left a piece of meat untouched for four years, and now that someone else had taken it, he acted all sentimental. What a fool!
Fortunately, Elijah came over at that moment, dressed in a black tailcoat, looking handsome and youthful due to his good maintenance.
"Frederick, Chloe." Elijah lightly patted Frederick's shoulder and greeted him cheerfully.
Frederick nodded politely and introduced Charlotte to him, "This is my girlfriend, Charlotte. She had admired you since she was a child and insisted on coming when she heard you were hosting the banquet."
'Charlotte?' Elijah was slightly taken aback.
The name brought back memories of when he was a poor young man in his twenties. His girlfriend, Victoria Devereux, was a rich girl who lived with him in a less than 150-square-foot apartment for a year. They loved each other, but due to a misunderstanding, he drove her away. Later, he got married and accidentally found out she was pregnant at the time.
He regretted it deeply and searched for her frantically!
But he had never found any trace of her. The Devereux family in Syeattel also had no information about her. Some said she was kicked out of the Devereux family for being pregnant out of wedlock.
"Elijah?" Frederick's voice was slightly hoarse.
Elijah snapped out of his daze and apologized with a smile, "Miss Russell's name reminded me of someone from my past. If she had given birth, the child would be about Miss Russell's age."
As he said this, his eyes showed sadness.
Charlotte guessed that Elijah once had a deeply loved lover, who was also his beloved. Therefore, the unknown child should be Elijah's biological child.
