Chapter 1375 Blatantly Awful

"I don't want to." Charlotte, a hedonist, and believer in not getting married, answered Timothy's question almost instinctively.

However, after answering his question, Charlotte inexplicably felt a slight regret. She had no idea where it stemmed from, though.

"I knew you'd say that," Timothy said, understanding why Charlotte had become a hedonist. "It's been so long since you were cheated on. Why are you still holding on to that incident?"

Charlotte shrugged. "I've long forgotten about it. I just don't like being tied down by relationships. After all, being in love is enough, isn't it?"

I'll replace a boyfriend that is easy on the eyes and enjoy the love and pampering he gives me without being too excessively in love with you. Then, I'll replace another boyfriend after I get bored of him. That way, I ensure my relationships never run out of steam! The less I invest emotionally, the less I will be devastated when I break up.

Timothy laughed in frustration. "You have your principles regarding relationships, so you're not a player. You don't make two men fall in love with you simultaneously. But you're not loving either. You always set an expiration period for every one of your boyfriends."

"Charlotte..." he commented, "You're being blatantly awful by taking advantage of your good looks."

Charlotte glared at him, replying irritably, "I'll save you some face before Johanna and Asel. Do you think you used to be a good person? We are birds of a feather. If not, we wouldn't have become friends." Timothy couldn't refute Charlotte's statements.

Asel slid down from Charlotte's legs to play with the Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear while Charlotte opened the parcel on the table. Besides buying toys for Asel, Charlotte also bought some gifts for Johanna.

"I know Johanna is a fashion designer, so I asked someone to buy a few books as a gift from me to her that included a limited-edition booklet from Desiree. It features the haute couture works of their previous senior design directors..." Charlotte placed the thick, unwrapped fashion booklet onto the table.

Johanna was sitting beside Charlotte, lost in her thoughts when her gaze fell upon the fashion booklet on the table, and she became fixated on it.

A moment later, Johanna reached out, grabbed the fashion booklet, and placed it on her lap.

Charlotte and Timothy were both taken aback by her actions. Especially Timothy, for ever since Johanna returned, she was like a soulless doll that stared into the distance blankly. No matter what he said, she had no response to it.

After finishing her meal every day, Johanna would sit in the living room for a long time, only getting up to go to the kitchen when she felt hungry again.

Timothy felt a surge of happiness within him. He immediately went over to Johanna's side. Noticing that Johanna was flipping through the fashion booklet, he asked gently, "Darling, do you like this?"

"I bought quite a few of them." Charlotte quickly unwrapped the other design booklets and placed them before Johanna.

Johanna didn't respond to Timothy but lowered her head to look at the booklet. However, her action thrilled Timothy greatly because at least she had something she loved, and that something could snap her out of her trance.

Timothy stated in frustration, "Yes! Jojo loves designing clothes. Why didn't I consider buying a design booklet for her before this?"

"Maybe that's because you're stupid?" Charlotte probed.

When Charlotte arrived, it was already eleven o'clock. The two of them briefly chatted in the living room, and the housekeeper prepared lunch. So, in the end, Charlotte decided to stay and have lunch with Timothy and his family.

Charlotte told Timothy she was free and would bring Asel out for a stroll in the afternoon, to which Timothy agreed.

It was a chilly day, so Charlotte helped Asel into the beautiful down jacket she had bought. Even though Charlotte was taking her own car without needing Timothy to give her a ride, she left the house with Timothy.

As the two parted ways at the entrance, Charlotte suddenly said, "Actually, I can get married too."

Timothy turned around and looked at her in surprise.

"You're not an only child, right? Do you have brothers?" Charlotte looked at Timothy with bright eyes. "Anyway, I can't repay what I owe you, so why don't I marry one of them to settle the debt?” Timothy's mouth twitched in response to her words. He reminded Charlotte to take care of Asel before getting into the car.
