Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 542 But as soon as they reached the garage, Ethan noticed a figure standing by his car. It was Charlotte. "Charlotte..." Christopher froze the moment he saw her. Ethan also revealed a trace of amusement in his eyes. Of course, Charlotte would have seen his post. Even if she hadn't, word in the office would inevitably reach her. She couldn't avoid hearing about him. Before either of them could react, Charlotte suddenly stepped forward and slapped Christopher across the face! Ethan was startled by the sudden motion, thinking she aimed for him.

He sidestepped, almost tripping in the process. Christopher's face burned fiercely; he stared at Charlotte in shock, tears instantly welling up. This was the first time his sister had ever hit him. No matter what mistakes he had made before, her anger had been limited to a few harsh words or a disapproving glare. Charlotte had always despised physical confrontation. Now, Christopher realized she was truly furious. He quickly ---- bowed his head, not even daring to breathe. "Christopher, have you grown wings? You actually dared to skip school without telling me?

Do you think switching schools is some kind of vacation for you?" Charlotte's voice trembled with restrained anger. She had tried to control herself. After seeing Ethan's photo in the office, she immediately messaged Christopher, asking where he was. He took forever to respond, saying he was at school. But Christopher had apparently forgotten-the watch she had bought him had a built-in GPS. Today, Khloe had gone abroad, leaving Charlotte with a long list of tasks. She was already overwhelmed, yet Christopher had run off to hang out with Ethan, giving her a heart-stopping scare.

She had rushed straight over. At first, she thought Ethan was using Christopher to get back at her, but from a distance, she saw the two of them laughing together. Christopher was even carrying several shopping bags filled with luxury goods. That was the last straw-her temper flared "Charlotte, why are you so violent? Christopher has no classes this afternoon. Taking a short leave to see me isn't wrong, and he's here to thank me. This is between the two of us," Ethan said, caught off guard. He forced a calm tone to mediate.

---- Although he had come partly to tease Charlotte and watch the scene unfold, spending half the day with Christopher had made him realize just how pure and sweet the boy was. In some ways, he reminded Ethan of a younger brother. Christopher kept his head lowered, silent. Charlotte took several deep breaths, gradually calming herself. She grabbed the shopping bags from her brother and turned to return them to Ethan "Ethan, | know you're generous, but children don't need these things. We appreciate your kindness, but we won't accept them." Ethan, naturally, didn't take the bags. He snorted.

"Charlotte, these were all specially for Christopher. They're things he likes. | can't use them. Luxury goods can't be returned once opened. If you really want to give them back... just pay me." He said the last part with a grin, his eyes taking in Charlotte's flushed face. Seeing her expression eased some of the frustration he had been holding in. "How much... how much are these?" Charlotte asked, forcing herself to speak. Almost immediately, she regretted it. Ethan held up three fingers. That couldn't mean three hundred-it had to be thirty thousand.
