Chapter 869 Quiet Forest
“Yeah. My skin is more radiant and glowing than before too!” Charlotte answered cheerily.
A grin broke out on Fae's face. “It's such a pleasure to see you young people. It's as if time has turned back, and
I've reverted to my youth again.”
Nearby, Lochlan's gaze was trained on Charlotte, but he couldn't muster the courage to approach her.
His heart clenched at the sight of her until Kate pinched his arm, the sharp pain jolting him out of his reverie. His
eyes flew to his mother. “What are you doing, Mom?”
Kate almost blew a gasket at Olivia's earlier action.
How dare Olivia snub me! And she is best friends with Charlotte now?
Fury simmered beneath the surface of her skin, nearly driving her insane.
“What's wrong with you? The Warhol family is perfect. How could you let Olivia leave to befriend Charlotte? You

Kate would have berated Lochlan further if there wasn't an audience.
She regretted attending this birthday celebration for Dixon's sake. All that had brought her was humiliation, and
right in front of everyone too.
Damn you to hell, Olivia and Charlotte! Damn you straight to hell!
A red smear of wrath colored her vision, and she almost went crazy because she couldn't vent.
Mary and Penelope were disconcerted when James and his family arrived.
The mayor... Is he serious now? How could he be here for Ashlyn's birthday celebration?
When Penelope noticed how tall and handsome Joseph was, she burned with jealousy. She couldn't understand why
all the attractive men seemed to flock to Ashlyn.
How infuriating!
Harvey stilled when he caught sight of James, which didn't go unnoticed by Ashlyn.
“This is my brother-in-law, James. James, this is Old Mr. Laith,” Ashlyn introduced.
Brother-in-law... She referred to the mayor as her brother-in-law!
Kate already knew Ashlyn had an unusual relationship with the Field family, but she was still taken aback to hear
Ashlyn say “brother-in-law,” and so was everyone else.
Mr. Field is her brother-in-law? She's Mrs. Field's sister? Oh my God, that's amazing!
James stretched his arm to shake Harvey's hand. “How are you, Old Mr. Laith?”
“I'm doing just fine.” Harvey laughed, exchanging pleasantries.
Ashlyn thought it was rather meaningless and inappropriate for everyone to stand around the entrance talking,
especially for men of status like James and Harvey.
“Why don't you all head in first? I'm still waiting for a few friends.”
“It's fine; everyone is having fun here. Or do you find us old-timers obnoxious?” Harvey frowned, injecting feigned
anger into his tone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAshlyn slanted him a look. “So the rumors of you not liking noisy occasions are unfounded. You appear to love
socializing.”
“It all depends on the occasion and who's the host, of course,” Harvey replied proudly.
A black car screeched to a stop in front of The Peacock, and a young man around thirty years old slid out of the
vehicle.
He was extremely attractive. Dressed in a casual plaid shirt and jeans, a pair of leather shoes completed his outfit.
His attire was casual yet refined.
Lochlan was surprised at the man's appearance. “It's him!”
“Do you know him?” Kate arched a brow.
“He got the firefighters from a neighboring city to help put out the fire at Imperial Hotel last time,” he answered,
the memories still fresh in his mind.
This man is not to be underestimated.
“You came,” Ashlyn greeted Quiet Forest neutrally. They hadn't spoken much last time since he was busy putting
out the fire. However, they did find out from that incident that they both resided in Lake City.
He stood in front of her, his gaze roaming across her face as he studied her features and appreciated her beauty.
Everyone in Mysterious yet Majestic expected him to come and see Zero.
