Chapter 1835 The rain gradually stopped. Inside the living room of Landry Mansion, Jim was perched on
the sofa as he stared at the laptop placed i n his lap. All of a sudden, the front door swung open. A
furious Charlotte stomped in from outside, drenched from head to toe. When he heard the sound of the
door opening and Charlotte’s footsteps, Jim lifted his head to glance at her impassively The rain had
ruined Charlotte’s delicate makeup. Her false eyelashes had fallen off, and her eyeliner was smudged,
staining her face with black streaks that made her look horrifyingly ghastly. Her white dress was also
drenched by the rain, sticking onto her body and making her look even more unhempt.
Jim raised his brows questioningly. “What happened?” Charlotte removed her jacket angrily and wiped
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther face with a towel that one of the servants had handed her. ‘For some reason, there were many cars
on the road in this dreadful weather, and all of them were on the road I was traveling on! “Someone
crashed into our car, and since the driver was busy dealing with it, I decided to hail a taxi and get home
myself. However, for some reason, there wasn’t a single taxi in sight.” The rain was so heavy that it
rendered Charlotte’s umbrella utterly useless.
The rain splattered all over her, making her look like she had just emerged from a pool. Seeing how
haggard she looked, Jim let out a sigh and stood up elegantly. Then, he took the towel from her and
started drying her gently. “Why are you in such bad luck today?” Charlotte could not help but soften at
Jim’s gentle behavior and tone.
She bit her lip and said pitifully,” don’t know either. There shouldn’t be many people entering the city from
the north in this dreadful weather, but for some reason, there were so many cars on the road coming
back that it caused a massive traffic jam, and one car even bumped into us. “I’m starting to wonder if
someone is playing a trick on me!” Jim narrowed his eyes as he dried Charlotte’s hair.
“What were you doing in the north?” Charlotte’s entire body stiffened when she heard this. She had
almost forgotten! When she tailed Jim, she had purposefully called him to tell him that she was at home.
However, since Jim had returned, not only was she an hour late, but she had even been out, traveling in
the same direction that he had been… Charlotte bit her lip and had no choice but to say, “Well, I…I was
worried you’d get into trouble, so I asked the driver to head to the north of the city to protect you…” Jim’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhand, which was in the middle of drying Charlotte’s hair, froze when he heard this. “I don’t remember
telling you where I was headed.”
Charlotte’s entire body stiffened once more. A split second later, she let out a cough and added, “You…
you hadn’t, but I asked the guards at the door and they told me that you were traveling in that direction,
so naturally, I followed you there…” She quickly snatched the towel from Jim and said, “You don’t need to
wipe me anymore. I’m soaked from head to toe, so I’d better go upstairs to take a shower.” With that, she
circled past Jim and strode upstairs.
However, she had taken only two steps when Jim grabbed hold of her wrist, a small smile playing on his
lips. “Going upstairs so soon? I haven’t even finished.” With that, he pulled her forcefully and slammed
her against the sofa. His strong, muscular arm held Charlotte’s shoulder down, stopping her from
moving, while the other hand wiped away the smudged makeup on her face. “Do you think I wouldn’t find
out that you had been following me?”
