Chapter 65 Prenuptial Agreement
Under the butler’s lead, Charlotte strolled through a flower garden chock-full of sunflowers, then a long corridor, followed by another hall planted with an array of different flowers, and finally arrived at the living room of the mansion.
The journey itself took about 20 minutes.
The grand designs struck Charlotte with awe and she couldn’t stop gasping.
However, when she saw the interior design of the living room and its furnishing, the air was knocked out of her lungs.
She couldn’t believe her eyes. It was such a resplendent and lavish scene. This was comparable to the grand hall of a palace!
“Mommy!”
While Charlotte remained marveling at the sight, Sheryl appeared out of nowhere. She wrapped herself around Charlotte’s leg and looked up at her with a wide grin.
Charlotte lowered her head to find her daughter with her hair styled into luscious curls that draped behind her. A diamond tiara rested atop her little head and she donned a white layered princess gown. On her tiny feet was a pair of pink leather shoes.
She had transformed into a pretty little princess.
“Sheryl, who dressed you up?” asked Charlotte as she squatted down to Sheryl’s eye level.
In the morning, she had clothed Sheryl in a T-shirt and shorts.
Where did she get this change of clothes in the blink of an eye?
“Hehe, it’s Mr. Handsome,” she let out a crisp giggle. Then, she took Charlotte’s hand in hers and said, “Mommy, come with me.”
She allowed her daughter to drag her along, but curiosity still got the best of her. “Sheryl, where are you bringing me?”
Now that she was thrown into this huge place, she felt a tinge of fear for the embarrassment that would ensue if she were to lose her way.
Sheryl didn’t bother answering her mother’s question. Instead, she took big steps as she walked deeper into the labyrinth of a house. Finally, they stopped in front of the second door along the corridor.
“Mommy, do you know what’s inside? Take a guess!”
Charlotte shook her head. “No idea.”
With a mysterious smile, Sheryl heaved the thick door open.
It was a child’s room with a pink theme.
The room was about 100 square meters big and filled with numerous toys of all sorts, including a slide in the corner and a swing next to it, as well as a trampoline situated near the center of the room. You would find almost every toy a child would love!
As if that was not opulent enough, the bed was also modeled off the shape of a merry-go-round horse. It hung from the ceiling, which enabled it to sway back and forth.
Charlotte stood rooted to the spot as she gaped at the sight. This was no different from a mini amusement park!
By now, Sheryl had already run to the slide and begun scaling the ladder.
Instinctively, Charlotte opened her mouth to stop Sheryl.
Just then, however, a series of footsteps approached from behind her and she turned back.
Standing directly behind her was Shane.
“Mr. Handsome!” As soon as Sheryl saw Shane, she ran over as quick as her short legs could carry her and threw herself around his leg.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“It’s so much fun in here, even more fun than the amusement park,” she squealed.
“Is that so?” Shane smiled ever so slightly.
Sheryl could only nod her head furiously in response. “Yes, it is! When I get tired, I can even sleep on the merry-go-round!”
“Miss Sheryl, can I play with you?” offered a maid who stepped out from behind Shane.
Sheryl nodded happily again, then turned around and disappeared into the room.
Miss Sheryl?
Whoever saw a need for this!
Charlotte’s gaze subconsciously traveled to Shane, who so happened to glance at her.
However, the depths of his eyes appeared to be a sheet of darkness that shrouded any abnormalities.
“Follow me.”
Without waiting for Charlotte to recover from her trance, Shane turned to leave.
She quickly stumbled behind him and followed him up a flight of stairs to the study on the second floor.
Shane ordered, “Take a seat.”
The style adopted in his study had a formal, systematic aspect to it. It was as though the door to the study was a portal to another world.
Contrasting to the rest of the house, this room also incorporated an additional sense of solemnity.
Charlotte couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. The thought of just him and her in solitude, confined in this detached room, reminded her of their encounter at the hotel not too long ago.
Immediately, her face flushed crimson.
Shane peered at Charlotte as she burned up and a dash of imperceptible glee flitted across his eyes. However, when he turned to her, he had warded off the smirk from his face, and in his hands lay a document. He shoved it in her face.
Charlotte jumped at the sudden movement. “What’s this?”
“Something that will benefit you,” he said mysteriously.
Skeptical of his words, Charlotte side-eyed him as she slowly retrieved the file. However, as soon as she flipped open the cover and saw the title, her eyes grew as wide as saucers.
A prenuptial agreement!
