Chapter 1482
Love? It probably didn't even exist.
It was just that when you hit the right age, you met the right person, and under the pressure from the adults, you ended up having a wedding that everyone's been waiting for.
The more Chicago thought about it, the more suffocated she felt.
Janna's eyes darkened slightly.
"And what about Charles?" she asked again.
Mentioning Charles gave Chicago a headache. Her sister, whom she had played with since childhood, had dated her twin brother, and they had broken up! And in her view, there was probably a huge misunderstanding involved!
"He's probably somewhere thinking," Chicago replied. "Great-grandma, if I get married in the future, what kind of person would you want me to find?"
"First and foremost, a good person. Then someone who loves you, and someone you love."
"Does it have to be all about love? I've never loved any guy. I don't even have enough time to paint!" Chicago grumbled.
Chicago had perfectly combined her parents' best traits and was very beautiful.
Since elementary school, receiving love letters had become a burden for her.
Despite having countless admirers, she had grown up with a clear mind and few desires, never experiencing the so-called teenage crushes.
Her teenage years were spent either organizing art exhibitions or on her way to one.
Where was the time for crushes?
"Then don't rush," Janna gently stroked her hair. "In our family, no kid will ever be bound by marriage. If you meet the right person, get married. If not, enjoy your freedom and explore the world."
"Great-grandma, you're the best!" Chicago grabbed Janna's hand and pressed her cheek against her palm, nuzzling like a kitten.
Janna lowered her eyes.
Silver hair fell from behind her ears.
She wasn't always that good.
Janna's birthday dinner went very smoothly.
At the event, Fiona and her husband, Thalassa and her husband, Burl and his wife, and many other guests donated a total of over eighty million dollars to the foundation Fiona had established years ago to help teenagers.
The funds would be used to help teenagers complete their education.
Janna, being older, only made a brief appearance at the party before Stuart took her home to rest.
Charlotte never liked these extravagant events.
Taking advantage of Chicago and Melissa's distraction, she quietly left the banquet hall. Behind the hall, there was a modest garden.
Charlotte took off her high heels, holding them in her hand, and walked to a bench to sit down.
She immediately felt more comfortable.
She stretched lazily like a cat.
Her phone vibrated in her purse.
It was her assistant calling, confirming her return time."Tomorrow evening's flight."
The assistant said something on the other end.
Charlotte covered half her face with one hand, smiling helplessly.
"David and I aren't planning a wedding, but we'll treat you to a simple meal."
As she spoke, she heard footsteps. Instinctively, she looked over.
Charlotte froze for a moment, then interrupted her assistant's endless talk about the menu with a calm tone, "We'll discuss it when I get back."
