Second Marriage novel Chapter 24

It was Charlotte, who, standing next to Kennedy down in the dumps, suddenly raised her head and bawled.

Her voice precipitated the crowd into surprise.

No one expected that the pitiful and bullied lamb would go wild in defence of Kennedy!

“Who are you to say that about him?”

Since Mr. Reynold Moore talked with her at the study, Charlotte had realized that Kennedy was not treated sincerely in the family. Then her empathy for Kennedy grew, especially when she was not asked to have an abortion when she was expecting her child.

Because she was well aware of the sense of inferiority.

Failure to live without a wheelchair was a trauma painful enough for him, let alone when he was insulted as a good-for-nothing blatantly!

It would hurt Kennedy so much!

“Charlotte, why can’t I say it? I am just warning him out of kindness. Do you have any idea how much the dress is? You can’t afford it. Do you want that cripple to pay for it?” Milana sighed, showed a troubled face, and continued, “Actually, for the sake of years of your efforts to take care of my husband, if you kneel down and beg me right now, I might ask Aldrich to do you a favor.”

Charlotte was shivering with anger.

“Don’t get mad. It’s only 300,000 yuan. My husband is willing to pay only if I ask. After all I’ve been spoiling by him for years, unlike you, such a poor woman.”

Charlotte bristled with fury as the mistress of her ex-husband, though now his wife, was showing off. She couldn’t help but raise her hand, about to hit Milana’s face.

“Ah!” Milana, right before slapped, screamed and fell backwards, crying out, “I am so kind to help you, but you hit me in return. Look at the bitch, Aldrich!”

Aldrich rushed forward to hold her. Milana grabbed his arms, panted but complained, “Honey, she hits me. So ungrateful she is! Go teach her a lesson!”

Aldrich was a little embarrassed as his wife had obviously not even touched by Charlotte’s hand. If he followed his wife’s instruction, it would seem ...

“Honey, she hurts my stomach. Do something for me, will you?”

The indecisive man whispered, “Babe, you’ll be good. She didn’t hit you. Why don’t we leave this troublesome place?”

Hearing this, Milana turned weepy and grumbled, “Aldrich Donald, do you regain your passion for her? Don’t you love me any more? She is bullying me and our baby!”

Aldrich had no choice but to purse his lips and walk over to Charlotte.

Charlotte stood still, fixing her eyes on his as he approached. With guilt in his eyes, Aldrich said to her, “Charlotte, forgive me.”

Charlotte forced a smile and replied, “So you’re gonna hit me now?”

“I’m really sorry, but I ... must take revenge for my darling!”

As he said, he slowly raised his hand while Charlotte bit her lower lip, then protested with tears in her eyes, “What did you want from me? I did so much for you for two whole years. That’s how you’re gonna treat me?”

Although her tears brought to Aldrich some remorse, the woman behind him was coquettishly urging him to slap her face.

Charlotte was frozen with tears of shock, and then closed her eyes in despair as she prepared herself for the upcoming slap toward her face.

Her glistening teardrops fell.

Charlotte thought that her face would have turned swollen after the strike, but the preconceived pain did not present itself.
