Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 309 - 309: I’m Very Serious

That girl might be their sister.

Thinking of this, Lionel went on persuasively, "what about the other one? Don't forget, Dylan has Savannah at his side now."

"It's normal for men in such a high status to have one or two mistresses," Charlotte rolled her eyes and said confidently, "most rich men have lovers, but they would never marry those women. Well, maybe my brother is an exception."

Lionel smiled, "don't you care that Dylan has a woman already?"

"I care, of course, but that the girl's no threat to me at all." Charlotte gave a scornful smile, "look at her belly, she's at least four or five months pregnant, but Dylan never openly said that he has a girlfriend, which means that he doesn't really like her. I still have a chance."

Lionel looked at his sister, "you're really confident."

Well, he underestimated his sister's determination to win Dylan.

"At least I'm the girl from the Rowe family." Charlotte curled up her red lips and tucked at her hair, looking like a princess.

Lionel gave her a warm smile.

Their biological mother died when they were young. Charlotte, the youngest girl in the family, was spoiled by their father and grandmother as she grew up.

Later, another beautiful woman married the Rowe family, and they had a stepmother. Maybe it was because their new mother's daughter was already dead, she put all her love on Charlotte and took her as her own daughter.

All in all, the whole family doted on Charlotte and coddled her.

Growing up in such a peaceful environment, his sister seldom encountered difficulties, and there wasn't anything she could ask for that she couldn't have. So, she was always confident like a princess.

However, if Savannah was really their stepmother's daughter... He heard that she had lived in an orphanage and was treated harshly by her aunt after she was adopted. Compared to Charlotte, she was really pitiful...

He didn't know what else he could do besides persuade Charlotte out of the idea on Dylan.

His smile faded, and he looked at his sister seriously, "Charlotte, since Dylan's with Savannah now, you should give up. Be good, and don't hurt other people's feelings."

If Savannah was their stepmother's daughter, she would be officially Charlotte's sister. He did not want his two sisters to face the situation of robbing a man.

What's more, he also had a lot of pity for Savannah. He didn't want this poor stepsister to be even more pitiful because of Charlotte.

Charlotte found out that Lionel had been blowing her confidence and didn't want her to think about Dylan. She held her arms and winked, "Lionel, I'm helping you! Schultz will be yours if I'm with Dylan!"

"I'm very serious," Lionel stated earnestly.

Charlotte stared at him with pursed lips, tapping her foot. "Fine, okay. I didn't say I was trying to hurt anybody's feelings."

Just then, a servant came out and said, "Sir, Miss, Mr. and Mrs. Rowe called from Europe."

Although Ethan and his wife were abroad, they made video calls regularly with their son and daughter every few days.

Lionel and Charlotte went back to the living room. They sat down on the couch, and on the coffee table in front of them, a middle-aged couple were on the screen of the notebook.

"Dad, mom, I miss you so much." Charlotte immediately blew her parents on the screen two kisses.

In fact, they had called two days before. Lionel picked up his naughty sister and greeted them with a warm smile. "Dad, mom."

Joanne, the beautiful middle-aged woman on the screen, smiled softly at her cute stepchildren. "The weatherman said that it'd be cold and raining in LA tomorrow. Lionel, put on more clothes these days. Especially your sister, she must avoid catching a cold in a light dress."

"I see," Lionel replied softly. Joanne always cared about Charlotte. And, of course, he would not be jealous as Charlotte's older brother.

When their biological mother died, Charlotte was still in infancy. She lacked maternal love and always wanted a mother in her childhood. He was also happy for his sister when Joanne came into their life. A woman who had just lost her daughter and a young girl who wanted a mother comforted each other and loved each other. They were very close to each other and never had any problems like other stepmothers and stepchildren.

What if their stepmother's daughter was still alive…?

"Mom, I'm not going to underdress for the sake of looking good because I look good anyway." Charlotte pursed her lips.

Joanne grinned from ear to ear. "Yes, sure, my Charlotte is the prettiest little princess."

"Come on, Charlotte, you're already twenty-three and out of college. Stop pouting." Lionel said playfully.

"Mom! Lionel bullied me again! When will you come back with daddy?" Charlotte acted coquettishly.

On the other side of the screen, Mr. and Mrs. Rowe laughed as they saw their son and daughter joking with each other.

"By the way, Lionel, how's everything going in LA?" Ethan asked casually.

"Everything goes well," Lionel said mildly.

"What's dad worried about? Whatever Lionel does, he does it well." Charlotte added sweetly, "he held a party and invited many celebrities from LA to visit our new house tonight. A wonderful party."

"Yeah, Ethan, Lionel's able." Joanne smiled at her husband softly.

"You'll spoil them, Joanne." Ethan shook his head at his wife helplessly, but his tone was full of intimacy.

Ethan had been single for a long time with a son and a daughter since his first wife's death. He married Joanne when his son was a teenager and loved her so much. While Joanne doted on his children, he doted on her as if she was his child too.

Lionel looked at his happy parents on the screen, his mind straying.

What if Joanne knew her daughter was still alive?

For the Rowe family, a peaceful life would surely be broken...

Joanne was unwilling to remarry until she learned that her former husband and daughter had both died in a car accident.
