Chapter 213: Inviting Him to Dinner

He instinctively reached out his hand, wanting to catch Charlotte’s fingers.

Unfortunately, Charlotte was walking too fast, and he didn’t even have a chance to touch her.

Max’s hand slowly lowered, as if nothing had happened, Charlotte walked straight to her room.

At this moment, Edward unexpectedly called.

Charlotte looked at it, and a smile couldn’t help but appear at the corner of her mouth. She knew that Edward must be fine.

de brother,” Charlotte answered the phone and softly called out.

Edward’s clear voice immediately came through the phone, “Charlotte, I’ve already come back from the police station.”

Charlotte wasn’t surprised. When Chester went in, Edward would naturally come out.

“It’s good that you’re back,” Charlotte responded with a gentle tone.

“However, I never expected that Chester was behind this! He even intentionally left my school badge at the scene, trying to frame and slander me…”

Edward indignantly recounted, his voice turning icy.

“Fortunately, he’s already been taken to the police station, and I doubt he’ll be out anytime soon. Grandpa and grandma, as well as Uncle and Aunt, are probably devastated right now. In the past, I might have felt sympathy for them, but this time, I can only say it’s karma.”

“By the way, that Agatha Wills, she was taken away by the police too because she gave false testimony.”

Edward spoke at length, reporting the basic details to Charlotte. Charlotte listened quietly, her expression remaining calm, as everything was within her expectations.

“By the way, sis, there’s one more thing I want to tell you,” Edward continued, his tone carrying a hint of mystery. “At first, when I was at the police station, I didn’t receive good treatment… but later, someone secretly helped me, got me a new room, and took care of me.”

Upon hearing this, Charlotte’s expression paused. This was something she didn’t know.

“Do you know who the person helping you might be?” Charlotte asked immediately.

Edward thought for a moment. “I suspect it might be Benjamin Harper.”

Benjamin?

Charlotte’s eyes darkened, and her expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.

Thinking about the sentence Benjamin had said to her before, at the gate of the Bellerose Family’s mansion, the sentence that had been interrupted by- Lance – he had said he had a friend at the police station. Could it be that he had really made his friend take special care of Edward?

“Charlotte, how about inviting him to have a meal?” Edward was unaware of the complexities in the relationship between Benjamin and Charlotte. In his impression, Benjamin was just Eleanor’s childhood friend, and he didn’t have a negative impression of him. “After all, he helped me…”

Charlotte lowered her eyes, clearly reluctant.

“Edward, I can’t invite him for a meal,” she straightforwardly refused. How could she possibly invite Benjamin for a meal? Was she out of her mind? Even today, she couldn’t face that man calmly, let alone sit at the same table to eat with him. Moreover, she had just promised Max to maintain a distance from other men.

“Why?” Edward furrowed his brow, puzzled.

“You’re still a child, you wouldn’t understand,” Charlotte said, her lips pursed, and then added, “If you want to invite him, do it yourself.”

Edward protested immediately, “Charlotte, you’re only a little older than me. You’re a child, too…”

In her grind, Charlotte thought about all the years she had lived in her previous life, and she was definitely more than just a little older than Edward.

** Charbate replied somewhat absentmindedly. “I’ll decide where we’ll eat, and you can pass the message on to Penjamin.”

“Why don’t you just call him directly, sis?” Edward couldn’t understand,

Charlotte suddenly felt a headache coming on. She said firmly, “Just do as I say,”

Contact Benjamin herself? How could that be possible?

She hung up the phone but still felt somewhat restless, Meeting Benjamin was a minor issue, but as for Maz….

She had just made solemn assurances in front of him,

Charlotte decided to stop dwelling on it. After washing up, she went to bed directly. She would deal with how to explain things to Max when she woke up the next day.

Early the next morning, as Charlotte entered the dining room, she spotted Max already seated there. He was elegantly having breakfast, resembling a Western aristocrat from a movie, with every movement exuding an exquisite grace,

Charlotte couldn’t help but pause for a moment. She rarely encountered Max in the dining room. Today, whether by luck or misfortune, she had run intobim

Charlotte walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down opposite Max.

What would madam like to eat?” The auntie, with a gentle demeanor, asked Charlotte,

Charlotte, in a moment of distraction, replied, “The same as my brother,”

“Very well, I’ll bring it to you right away,” the auntie nodded and smiled in response,

At that moment, Max paused his actions, raising his eyes to look at Charlotte, Charlotte happened to be looking at Max as well. Their gazes collided, and when met with the depth and intensity of the man’s eyes, Charlotte suddenly felt somewhat uneasy. She instinctively lowered her head.

Just then, the auntie placed the steaming breakfast in front of Charlotte. “Please enjoy, madam.”

Charlotte nodded and picked up her utensils, Seeing that Max was still gazing at her, she couldn’t hold back any longer and, mustering up her courage, spoke first, “Good morning, Max.”

Max heard her and responded with a faint “Hmm.”

Seeing that his mood seemed relatively good, Charlotte couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued, “Max, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

“Go ahead,” Max’s thin lips lifted slightly as he crisply uttered the word.

Charlotte hesitated for a moment and then went on, “I believe you’re aware of my little brother’s situation. He was fortunate to receive special attention from someone while he was at the police station, or else life would have been quite tough for him… So, I’d like to invite that person for a meal What do you think?”
