Carlotta snapped back to reality, "I’m fine." But she was obviously distracted.

Janelle is her darling, the most important thing in her life, Carlotta hopes she is happy, and can’t bear to see her suffer even a little hurt.

Harlan Quinn seems to have the ability to empathize, understanding her worries.

He placed the cut steak in front of her, "What are you worried about? Today I met Trevor for the first time, this young man gave me a good impression, he’s gentlemanly, calm, and dependable, a man worth relying on."

Carlotta raised her eyes at the sound, so he also noticed that Janelle and Trevor’s relationship is not ordinary?

"Carlotta, have you lost weight recently?" Harlan Quinn took a sip of red wine, looking at her with some concern, "How long will you stay in Riventhal this time?"

Because to his knowledge, her company isn’t in Riventhal, and the business doesn’t involve Riventhal.

"I don’t know yet." Carlotta responded, and involuntarily thought of Nathan Mills.

She lightly lifted the corners of her lips, raised her eyes to him, "Not really, just one or two pounds, fluctuations are normal."

"No matter what, take care of your health even when alone." Harlan Quinn felt some concern for her, yet he handled it well.

He is very gentlemanly, a true gentleman.

"Come, let’s toast." Harlan Quinn raised his glass to her, smiling, "Thanks to Auntie Sterling for her selfless dedication to the children."

"I’ll also thank you on behalf of these lucky children." Carlotta is also kind-hearted.

The two clinked glasses and drink down their wine in one go.

After lunch ended, Harlan Quinn was determined to send Carlotta back to her place, concerned about her safety as she’d had some red wine.

Due to their consistently good relationship, Carlotta did not refuse.

Thus, Harlan Quinn helped her open the car door, and she sat in his passenger seat.

"Carlotta, where are you staying lately?" The man got into the driver’s seat, buckled his seatbelt, turned his eyes to ask, "Did you buy a house in Riventhal?"

"No."

Carlotta could feel his growing admiration, she took the opportunity to confess, "I’m staying in Nathan Mills’ vacant house."

Harlan Quinn was clearly shocked, though he didn’t show it on his face, because he knew that they were once in a state of hardly interacting, incompatible like water and fire.

And now, Carlotta is staying in his vacant house, which can only mean one thing, the relationship between the two has eased.

Thus, Harlan Quinn felt a sense of crisis, for even a second he felt at a loss.

"Where is it located?" He snapped back to ask her, gathering all his emotions.

Carlotta gave him an address, it wasn’t far from here, with the navigation on, the car drove towards the villa community.

Neither of them spoke to break the silence along the way, the atmosphere was a bit odd, and the car was moving slowly. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

At this moment, Nathan Mills in the snow-covered yard, was already frozen to the point of numb hands and feet.

And it was already noon, and his stomach was hungry, he thought he wouldn’t be able to wait for Carlotta, so he planned to leave.

But just as he turned around to take a step, a car turned into the yard, stopping in front of him, less than two meters away.

Nathan Mills stopped his steps, through the windshield, he saw the woman sitting in the passenger seat at a glance, and a middle-aged man in the driver’s seat.

Nathan Mills holding the bouquet of roses felt embarrassed, he suddenly felt like a fool, caught in a dilemma.

Carlotta was also shocked when she saw him.

As she unbuckled her seatbelt, she turned her eyes to Harlan Quinn, "Harlan, I... I have some matters, it’s not convenient to invite you in."

"Who is he?" Harlan Quinn’s jealousy surged instantly.

Carlotta gripped the newly opened car door, looked at the man standing in the snow with even his nose red from the cold, then looked at the man holding the steering wheel, and replied, "He is Nathan Mills."

"..." Harlan Quinn’s conviction collapsed, feeling he had met a formidable rival.
