Chapter 128: Seeing Others Falling in Love
historical
Audrey asked curiously, “Sister, have you attended such a charity banquet before?”
Charlotte glanced at her. Audrey couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and immediately felt that her question was a little stupid. Charlotte was a true daughter of a wealthy family. She might have seen such banquets countless times, so how could she not have been there?
However, Charlotte didn’t mock Audrey. Instead, she replied seriously, “I went there once last year.”
Audrey looked at her blankly.
Charlotte suddenly smiled. “Speaking of which, I don’t think we’ve gone to a banquet together.”
In the past, at all kinds of banquets, the Host rarely appeared at any occasion at the same time as Charlotte. This was to steal Charlotte’s limelight. As time passed, Charlotte also hated being with Audrey.
Now that Charlotte suddenly mentioned this, Audrey suddenly realized that she wanted to get closer to her.
Audrey smiled and said, “Then let’s go together next week.”
At 4 p.m. on Sunday, Charlotte and Audrey dressed up and went out.
Before leaving, Anthea was a little worried. After all, the last banquet at the Hill family had left Anthea with bad memories.
Audrey comforted Anthea. “It’s fine, Mom. This is a charity banquet, so I’ll follow Sister to take a look. If anything unexpected happens, Sister will help me resolve it.”
With that said, Audrey subconsciously held Charlotte’s arm.
Charlotte instantly trembled, but she didn’t break free. Instead, she glanced at Audrey and smiled. “Let’s go.”
Charlotte didn’t drive herself this time. Instead, she found the driver at home. She sat in the backseat with Audrey. Thinking of Audrey’s intimate actions just now, Charlotte felt strange.
It seems like… she and Audrey had never gone out to play like real sisters in the past, Charlotte thought.
Ever since the last incident, Audrey’s relationship with Evans had become delicate. Recently, the two of them had chatted more often. Evans would even give her a rare like on her Moments.
Audrey smiled foolishly at the screen. Charlotte glanced at her and asked,
“What fun things did you encounter?”
Audrey turned around and bared her teeth. “I’m discussing endorsement robots with the company.”
Charlotte’s lips curled up slightly. “Is that so? Are you sure you’re not discussing it with Evans?”
Audrey was stunned before she blushed slightly.
Charlotte had been through it before. In the past, she had fallen in love a lot when she was in school. The boyfriends she had dated in university alone were so numerous they could gather to play poker. However, Charlotte had always had a playful mentality when she was in love and had never invested too much emotion in her ex-boyfriends.
Seeing Audrey’s smiling and serious expression, Charlotte suspected that something was brewing between her and Evans.
However, Charlotte was very curious. Evans had almost the same personality as Abner and was extremely cold. Why did he suddenly contact Audrey?
Besides… Charlotte glanced at Audrey, who was still smiling and couldn’t help but think of the banquet at the Hill family.
At that time, Evans and Audrey were standing in the snow. The two of them didn’t seem to have said anything, but the atmosphere between them was very subtle.
Charlotte was immediately interested, thinking that she had to silently pay attention to Audrey and Evans in the future—she liked to watch others fall in love too much.
At six in the evening, Charlotte and Audrey successfully arrived at the venue of the charity banquet.
Tonight’s banquet was scheduled to officially begin at 7:30. Charlotte handed two invitations to the waiter at the door before bringing Audrey into the hall.
Everyone who was invited had their own seat. Charlotte and Audrey followed the waiter’s instructions to a seat by the window. Soon, someone served hot snacks and cocktails.
Charlotte took out her phone and said, “It hasn’t started yet. We’ll just sit here and wait.”
Audrey nodded and took out her phone.
She thought for a moment before sending a message to Anna. Audrey: How is it? Have you found out what I asked you to find out?
