Chapter 634 Chloe Sets a Trap
When Charles popped the question, a sudden wave of jealousy hit him hard.
Charlotte shyly looked down, "Yeah, I did."
"Seems like you two are pretty tight," Charles said with a hint of sarcasm. "You're even visiting your boyfriend's mom today."
Charlotte nodded again, "Yeah, it's going well."
"I can tell from your manners that your family must be loaded. Did they get you a house for the wedding?" Charles asked.
Charlotte thought, 'This old guy is so nosy, but what can I do? I'm stuck here.'
"Well, my family is well-off, but we don't have that kind of money," Charlotte quickly waved her hands, like she was trying to clear her dad of any corruption charges.
"So, you're saying you're short on cash?" Charles pressed.
Charlotte thought: Old folks really love to meddle.
"Not really, my family got me a place near my company," Charlotte said, her tense smile easing up.
"So, you want the guy to move in with your family. Is Jeffery cool with that?" Charles had just finished asking when Maya walked out of her room.
Her room was on the first floor, and as soon as she stepped into the living room, she heard the question. Her face went pale.
She didn't want Jeffery moving in with the woman's family.
Seeing Maya come out, Charlotte immediately stood up from the sofa, thinking: Of all the things to ask, he had to ask this, and of all times, he had to ask now, letting Maya hear it.
Maya walked out.
"Let me add you to my contacts," Charles said to Charlotte.
There were some reimbursement, receipts, and insurance matters from the car repair that he needed to send to Charlotte.
Charlotte understood and, to show she wasn't dodging any responsibilities, readily agreed, "Sure."
The two exchanged contact information.
Ever since Charlotte mentioned the idea of Jeffery moving in with her family, Maya had felt a bit put off by her.
Now, seeing how easily she exchanged contact info with Charles, Maya thought: Charlotte is definitely very sociable.
Jeffery, being such an honest guy, wouldn't be able to handle her.
Jane had been supporting Maya and helped her to the sofa.
"By the way, Charlotte, it's time to eat. Want to join us for dinner?" Maya asked politely.
Charlotte could tell this was a polite way of asking her to leave. She thought: It must be because of what that old guy said about Jeffery moving in with her family. Maya took it seriously; otherwise, her attitude wouldn't have changed so suddenly. But Charlotte also knew that such matters couldn't be rushed. If Maya wanted her to leave and she didn't, that would be foolish and lacking an impeccable sense of timing.
"Well, I have another appointment, so I'll head out first. Maya, take care of yourself. I'll report back to Jeffery, and with Dr. Allen by your side, he'll be reassured." Charlotte stood up, ready to say goodbye.
After she left, Maya asked the opinions of the people present.
"She said she's Jeffery's girlfriend. What do you think of this girl?" Maya asked everyone, feeling a bit embarrassed.
She didn't know that everyone present had their thoughts.
Donovan gave Charles a look.
"Moving in with the woman's family is something most people can't accept," Charles said.
"I think Charlotte is very beautiful, with lovely eyes and a bright smile. Even as a woman, I find her very pretty," Chloe said, glancing at Donovan and lightly patting his hand. "Don't you think so, Donovan?"
Donovan could easily see through Chloe's trap.
