    Chapter 44


    The door of Charlie’s study was not closed, and Lauren walked to the door, leaned over, and listened


    for a while. There was no


    sound again so Lauren knocked the door, “Mr. Frank, are you alright?”


    No one answered.


    Lauren was worried about Charlie, so she pushed the door and walked in.


    The study wasrge, with the bookcases and floor in the color of wood. On the right hand side was a


    and a stack of papers on it. At the first nce, Lauren did not see anyone in the study, and when she


    looked closely, she saw Charlie.


    It turned out that he was blocked by the curtains. Charlie sat on the bay window, almost invisible in the


    dark curtains. Lauren


    walked over.


    There was a solid wooden chair on the ground, and Charlie sat on the bay window, with his legs folded.


    From Lauren’s perspective, she could see the bruises on his toes. Lauren guessed that maybe he was


    smashed by the chair identally.


    “Are you all right?” Lauren bent down in front of Charlie and asked with concern.


    Charlie now realized that there was a person in his study. He was a little surprised and then looked up


    at her. Charlie said to


    Lauren. “Sorry to disturb you.”


    He was very polite and soft,pletely different from the previous days. It seemed that he had


    changed a lot.


    Seeing that Charlie was injured, she was worried about him.


    “Do you feel alright? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?” Lauren asked.


    Charlie shook his head and said, “Thank you for your caring. I will apply the medicer by myself.”


    “I want to know if there is anything that I can help.” Lauren asked.


    Charlie lowered his head, but in fact, he was smiling. There was a hint of apology in his expression and


    he said, “I should have


    said sorry to you on that day.”


    Lauren raised her head with confusion, but she still looked gorgeous, which made Charlie want to pull


    her closer and kiss her


    fiercely.


    Charlie turned his head because he thought he would lose control if he kept looking at Lauren who was


    so beautiful. Then he


    said, “I am sorry for what I did a few days ago.”


    Now Lauren understood.


    Charlie exined, “There were many women trying to approach me through Leo because they knew


    Leo was my son and he was very important to me. So I was not very polite to you that day. I am sorry.”


    Lauren didn’t speak and in her heat, she had forgiven Charlie.


    Charlie took a nce at Lauren and when he saw she had no reaction, he immediately gave an


    example to imply that he didn’t lie to Lauren, “Last year, there was also ady whom Leo liked very


    much and frequently invited her to our home. Thatdy also liked Leo very much and gave him a lot of


    gifts. Leo even told me that he wanted that woman to be his mother.”


    Hearing this, Lauren subconsciously frowned, and felt a little ufortable in her heart. Lauren herself


    didn’t know why. Charlie continued and his voice was very charming and convincing. “At that moment, I


    thought that woman wanted to use Leo to approach me and marry into the Frank family. But I didn’t


    expected her…”


    Charlie paused for a while, and suddenly Lauren had a bad feeling.


    Soon Charlie said, “She was much ‘ambitious’ that I thought. She deliberately got close to Leo, and


    wanted to kidnap him to


    threaten me.”


    pain.


    Hearing this, Jennifer felt sympathy for Leo and her heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, which


    even made her shiver in
