Chapter 597 Being Jealous David had never imagined that Joe would be like this when he was jealous. As he observed the jealousy burning in the eyes of the distinguished Joe and unable to do anything about it, David’s smile grew even wider. “I just spoke a few truths, Mr. Smith. Are you angry?” David shrugged. “I’m here waiting attentively, you know. If you mistreat her in the slightest, I won’t hesitate to take her away.” Five minutes later, David was unceremoniously escorted out of the villa by Joe. Standing in the dim light outside, David turned to look at the brightly lit mansion, chuckling self-deprecatingly. When he left all those years ago, he knew he and Charlotte were no longer a possibility. Now that he had returned, it was just his refusal to give up, wanting to give himself one last chance. The fact proved that Joe wouldn’t give him this opportunity, and the one who had been eagerly watching should have been him. After David left, Charlotte planned to go back inside, but she was stopped by Joe’s firm grip. He trapped Charlotte in her chair, his gaze deep and penetrating. “Dinner with him?” Charlotte chuckled softly. “It wasn’t just me; it was also Ben, Anna, and Peter…” Joe slowly leaned closer to Charlotte, a faint scent of alcohol immediately filling her nostrils. “Not just you; he wants to take my son and daughter too?” Joe’s forehead pressed against Charlotte’s, and the scent of alcohol lingered around them as if even Charlotte was about to get drunk. In the distance, insects were chirping, and a gentle breeze blew past them. Charlotte reached out, hooking her fingers around Joe’s neck. “We just happened to meet at the kindergarten gate. You’re not still jealous of him, are you?” Enter title… Joe gazed at her, then suddenly let out a light laugh.
He didn’t hesitate to capture her lips, his kiss domineering and passionate, claiming every bit of her sweetness. As the kiss ended, Charlotte’s eyes were misty, and in the depths of Joe’s eyes, there was a profound desire churning. “I and him, there’s no possibility between us anymore. Even without your existence, we…” Charlotte explained in a low voice, but her words were silenced by Joe’s fingers pressing against her lips. The two of them locked eyes in silence. Just when Charlotte thought he had something to say, Joe suddenly lifted her up and walked into the villa with large strides. Joe threw Charlotte onto the bed, and before she had a chance to get up, he had already placed his hands on either side of her head, his voice low and hoarse, “One day without me by your side and someone brainless comes pestering you.” Capital City was so vast. How could David have encountered Charlotte so easily? It was clearly a deliberate move. He had never doubted Charlotte, but seeing David standing next to her, it was hard for him not to be reminded of those days when she was struggling, and he wasn’t by her side. Bitter emotions surged within him, leaving him at a loss, instinctively holding her, kissing her, and giving in to her with the most primal of impulses. The next morning, Charlotte almost couldn’t get out of bed. Even though Joe said he didn’t care, his actions repeatedly proved otherwise. Clutching her incredibly sore arms, Charlotte brushed her teeth with a grimace, cursing Joe in her mind a thousand times. Joe knew he had gone too far. His attitude was particularly considerate. Not only did he prepare breakfast for Charlotte, but he also personally escorted her to the company parking lot before leaving. Charlotte found it both curious and amusing. However, not long after she entered her office, an unexpected visitor stormed in with anger.
