Charlotte was worried that Jake might start questioning her as well, but he simply reached out and lightly pressed down on the top of her head.
"The stuff online is such a mess right now. You scared me half to death."
Jake looked at Charlotte with a worried expression, but she pulled his hand away and lifted her face slightly, a faint dimple blooming on her cheek.
"Fourth Brother, saying all this to me now feels a little late, doesn't it?"
Hearing her words, Jake quickly pulled Charlotte into his arms and affectionately ruffled her hair.
"You little troublemaker, always blaming us! You were the one who insisted the family shouldn't intervene, right? Do you know how worried we all were yesterday when the news blew up?"
Charlotte hadn't returned to the Thompson Family home yesterday, completely unaware of how furious everyone had been after discovering the news online.
