Joe was indeed quick. In no time, he brought out three fish-related dishes that looked and smelled delicious.
“Have a try,” Joe carefully placed the fish into Charlotte’s bowl, his eyes full of affection.
Charlotte didn’t decline and immediately put the fish into her mouth. Joe’s cooking skills were excellent; the fish had no hint of a fishy smell but instead highlighted the fish’s freshness and unique aroma of the sea.
Charlotte was genuinely surprised.
“I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so amazing,” Charlotte sincerely praised.
Joe smiled but didn’t say anything.
Who would have thought that just over a year ago, he couldn’t do anything, but now…
He quickly glanced at Charlotte, deciding to suppress the thoughts in his heart.
After having a great time on the island for three days, Joe finally took Charlotte back home.
As soon as they entered the villa, Ben and Anna rushed up to them.
Their eyes shining, they looked at Charlotte and asked, “Mom, did you have fun?”
Charlotte patted their heads and smiled, “Of course, I’ll take you with us next time.”
Ben and Anna immediately cheered, grabbing the gifts Charlotte and Joe had prepared for them, and ran off.
It must be said that Joe’s decision to take Charlotte on a date was the right one.
In just three short days, Charlotte’s mood visibly lightened, and even the pressure from her amnesia seemed to have lessened considerably.
However, at this moment, Morgan was feeling terrible. By chance, she discovered that Smollett was conducting some illegal psychological experiments. And he had been caught red-handed by their mentor, who had even considered expelling Smollett from the university…
Unfortunately, not long after their mentor discovered this, he died in a car accident.
Morgan now thought back to those times, a chill rising from her tailbone and making her shudder involuntarily.
What if… the car accident was not an accident?
The thought made Morgan extremely uneasy.
She immediately tried to call Charlotte, but there was no answer.
After thinking it over, Morgan decided to go to the villa and talk to Charlotte in person.
Just as she was about to leave her office in a somewhat flustered manner, she unexpectedly encountered someone at the door.
“Morgan?” Smollett raised an eyebrow at Morgan, “Where are you rushing off to?”
Morgan froze.
The thought that her mentor’s car accident might have been caused by Smollett scared her deeply.
She managed to maintain a rigid smile on her face, “I suddenly realized I have some urgent matters to attend to. Is there something you need from me?”
Smollett carefully observed Morgan’s expression and took a step forward.
Morgan dodged quickly, like a frightened rabbit.
“Are you afraid of me?” Smollett asked Morgan meaningfully.
How could Morgan admit that? She shook her head quickly, “You misunderstood, I just have urgent matters to attend to.” With that, she walked past Smollett and hurriedly left.
