Chapter 514
Joseph was a lot morefortable than she was, as it was just a meal to him. However, the sight of
her timid and shocked look made him follow her gaze curiously. In the end, he saw a couple kissing in
public brazenly.
Who would have thought that she would blush at a scene like this? Joseph’s lips curled slightly as a
smile shed across his deep eyes. “Have you ever been in a rtionship?”
Charlotte red at him in annoyance. How could he ask me something improper like this?
At this moment, L and Olivia walked in.
Everyone was in no mood to continue after Joseph left, so the party broke up soon after.
“This restaurant has just opened, and many people havee because of good reviews,” Olivia said
as they chose a table.
It was very quiet in the restaurant and the couples in there were very sweet.
There was a sense of ambiguity in the air.
L took a look around and began to imagine, if I brought Charlotte here, how would she react?
Would she be overjoyed and happy?
L began to think about it for a while.
After Olivia chose a spot, she motioned for him to sit down.
Suddenly, L looked up and a couple by the window caught his attention.
His pupils constricted as he stared at that couple with disbelief.
The afternoon sunrays fell onto the couple through the ss windows, and the atmosphere was
extremely ambiguous.
Even though they were not as physically close and affectionate as the other couples around them, they
looked like they were getting along very well.
The man was tall and handsome while the girl was petite and adorable. Her hair fell and covered half of
her face, exposing the remaining beautiful half, which looked as fresh and inviting as a strawberry.
However, L’s face had turnedpletely dark and grim.
His whole body trembled as he stared at that familiar face with utter disbelief.
How did she end up being with Joseph?
It is really her!
Why was she in Joseph’s embrace just now in the countryside, and why did she refuse to acknowledge
me?
What is going on?
My Lottie, the one that I had brought up… how could she be enjoying a couple’s meal so affectionately
with another man?
No!
L’s body was quivering while his fists were clenched. He was about to walk towards the two of
them only, to be stopped by a hand which pulled him back to his seat. “Mr. L, are you all right?
You look a little strange tonight.”
Olivia tugged his hand enthusiastically and pressed him back onto his seat.
“Nothing,” L mustered a smile. “It’s just that I am worried about Lottie, as she has been missing
for so many days.”
The mention of his foster daughter annoyed Olivia and she replied exasperatedly, “She is a grown up,
so how could she have been lost? She has probably found herself some rich heir and is having a good
time now!”
This struck a sour note with him.

L’s gaze turned dark as he stared angrily at the couple by the window.
At the same time, Charlotte had a taste of the ice cream that was included in the set meal. Her eyes lit
up, “This is so good. It’s so much more delicious than I had pictured it to be.”
Joseph looked at her radiant smile and the charming curve of her lips. Just right at the top of the curve,
there was a cheeky little ice cream stain.
He subconsciously picked up a napkin and before he realized it, he had already wiped it off for her.
He was stunned.
It must have been because of the atmosphere.
Otherwise, he would have never done something so impulsive.
Charlotte’s face flushed as she continued eating, not knowing what else to do.
L witnessed this entire scene.
His face was dark and grim. How could the little girl that I brought up with my own hands end up
together with Joseph? And they are so affectionate with each other!
Are they in a rtionship?
