Chapter 339
Bad guy! Stinker! She could not see her mom! He was a big liar!
Mark got up to change a spot, now sitting opposite Charlotte and coaxing her with patience. "Open
your mouth."
Charlotte''s eyes reddened like a poor little bunny. She felt Mark was annoying. Her two little hands
pped indiscriminately, only to hear a ng as the bowl dropped to the floor and broke into pieces.
And the hot porridge in the bowl was all spilled onto Mark''s arm, his pants, and shirt.
Maria had just cooked the porridge, and it was still steaming. Mark’s arm was fiery red from the burns.
Maria was shocked and hurried over. "Here is the towel, Mr. Valentine."
Charlotte knew she was in trouble, her body curled up tightly in the settee''s corner, as she was too
afraid of looking at Mark.
Mark took the towel, but he did not clean up the spilled porridge on his body. Instead, he picked up
Charlotte and moved her to a clean spot. "Are you hurt?" he asked. He was not angry, his voice deep,
but gentle.
Charlotte closed her eyes in fright, expecting to get scolded. But when she heard what Mark said, her
long curly eyshes flicked gently, and then she carefully opened her eyes into slits to take a peek at
him.

She quickly closed her eyes again when she saw he was looking at her. Mark saw that and took that all
in, raising his handsome eyebrows and chuckling.
"Go get changed, Mr. Valentine. I will take care of
Little Miss Valentine."
After making sure that Charlotte was not scalded, Mark picked up the towel and got up. He put aside
his smile and looked at Maria. "Please cook another pot of porridge."
"Yes, Mr. Valentine." Maria disappeared into the kitchen.
And Mark went into the bathroom.
When he reappeared from the bathroom, he had changed into a set of sportswear, which was simple
and gave him a touch of casual charms.
The porridge was ready, and Maria was carrying it over. "Mr. Valentine, I will feed Little Miss Valentine.”
"Let me do it," Mark said, and put Charlotte on the chair at the dining table. "Here you go.”
Charlotte still refused to eat, but she was no longer throwing her tantrum after breaking a bowl. "I don''t
want to eat porridge. I want Mommy."
"Little Miss Valentine, have some porridge. Otherwise, you might get a stomach ache." Maria was
concerned.
"No. I don’t want porridge. I want Mommy. I miss Mommy.” Charlotte was unyielding. Mark extended
the spoon over, and she turned her face away.
"The big gray wolf maye for you if you don''t behave." Maria coaxed, trying to frighten her into
taking the porridge.
Charlotte was still small, and she must not go starving.
"Big gray wolf won''t bite, and there are the policemen. The policemen have guns and will drive away
the big gray wolf." She did not forget to retort, and her words were well-structured.
She was too smart for the trick. Maria had no more trump card. "Mr. Valentine, could you please cajole
Little Miss Valentine? She hasn’t eaten for an entire day. She should at least eat something.”
Coaxing her? How? Mark''s charming face froze, stiffening.
Maria went into the kitchen to clean up. She had been busy cooking for Charlotte the entire day, but
Charlotte had not taken a bite. She needed to dispose o f the leftovers.
A whileter, Maria heard the barking sound of a doging from the living room. She was shocked
and stopped what she was doing and came out of the kitchen.
