Chapter 662 Prank
"Isn't this kid from Cynthia's family? How'd he end up at your place?" Jane asked Chloe.
Chloe shot Jane a look that screamed, 'Don't go there.'
Jane wasn't a fan of Jake; actually, she couldn't stand him. His mom, Cynthia, was always pulling stunts, like threatening to jump off buildings to get her way with Chloe. So, naturally, a kid raised by her wouldn't turn out great. Plus, this kid had a sneaky vibe, always avoiding eye contact, which really bugged her.
She couldn't wrap her head around why Donovan would take in a kid like that. What was the point? Wouldn't it just be a headache for Chloe and Donovan down the line?
Jane didn't buy the idea that this was Donovan's illegitimate kid. No way Donovan's kid would look like that.
"Jeffery, Jane, grab some food," Donovan said casually.
Charlotte was a bit taken aback. From Donovan's tone, it sounded like Jane and Jeffery were already a thing. She always thought Jane was just Chloe's good friend, which is why she didn't think twice about giving Maya a massage.
But now, it turns out Jane and Jeffery were a couple.
And then there was that whole mess where Professor Oscar called out Jeffery for stealing a paper. Charlotte felt like she had wasted her time. She thought, how could someone as perfect as her fall for a guy like Jeffery?
She felt instantly bummed out.
People were funny like that; when they liked something, they cherished it. Once they didn't, they couldn't stand it. Liking or disliking someone could flip in a heartbeat.
She glanced over and saw Charles chatting away with Donovan.
Compared to Jeffery, Charles was way better. How did she not notice Charles before?
But what did Charles think of her?
For a moment, Charlotte's emotions were all over the place. She regretted ever liking Jeffery and felt embarrassed for her sudden change of heart.
Her face turned bright red.
"What's up, Charlotte? Your face is all red," Chloe noticed and asked, "Are you catching a cold?"
"No."
Charles was sitting right next to her, and his hand instinctively reached for her forehead.
When Charles's hand touched her forehead, Charlotte froze, her heart racing. His hand was warm and full of masculine energy. A mature man was definitely different from a young boy. Charles was the vice president of the huge New East Group.
Charlotte instantly shifted her affection to Charles. In that moment, she fell for him.
"Are you catching a cold?" Charles turned his head to ask her.
"No, no," Charlotte's eyes gave her away, showing both shyness and embarrassment.
"Your temperature isn't high. Sit on the couch and rest after eating," Charles instructed.
"Okay." After speaking, Charlotte lowered her head and continued eating.
Donovan watched all this with a cold eye. He could see Charlotte's change in attitude. He didn't know what caused it, but the change was real.
Donovan was pleased. A young girl's thoughts were easier to read.
Only Chloe didn't notice anything.
After the meal, Jeffery was itching to get back to the military camp, but when he put on his hat, he noticed the badge was missing.
Seeing the thread was torn, he knew someone had taken it off.
He figured someone was messing with him. Without asking, he knew that in Donovan's house, the prankster was definitely Jane.
