Chapter 596
Chapter 596 Are You Worried I’ll Steal Her Away?
David patted Peter’s head and smiled, “It’s been hard on you to be the younger brother of Anna.”
Peter, not understanding his yful teasing, earnestly replied, “Anna is very nice. Don’t say that about
her.”
This took David aback for a moment. Then he burst intoughter. “You’re a good kid. You can be the
one to protect Anna
from now on.”
Peter nodded solemnly, “Definitely.”
The group went to the restaurant in a lively manner. Ben and Anna pulled Peter and sat down next to
David,
enthusiastically asking David to help them with their dishes.
David was very patient and amodating with the children, and they all enjoyed their meal together.
Charlotte smiled as
she watched them.
Although more than a year had passed, the children didn’t seem to find David a stranger at all. Amid
the cheerful chatter, it
felt like they were back to how they used to be.

After dinner, David personally dropped them off near the vi. He looked at the neighboring old
mansion of the Smith
Family with aplex expression and said to Charlotte, “Could we chat sometime when you’re free?”
Charlotte watched the three children enter the house and then asked Mrs. River to bring them two cups
of coffee. “Let’s
chat in the garden; you probably haven’t been here before.”
David nodded and continued to nce toward the neighboring house.
Once seated, he didn’t hesitate to ask, “Have you reconciled with Joe?”
Charlotte nodded. “Yes.”
David sighed with a bitter smile. “I was always one step behind.”
Enter title…
If he hadn’t left the country back then, perhaps the oue would be entirely different now.
Charlotte took a sip of her coffee and looked at David seriously. “Even if there was no Joe between
us… At that time, I
wanted to escape from Joe, and I didn’t want to let down your feelings…”
“You don’t have to say it. I understand,” David interrupted her, his smile growing more bitter.
In fact, he had understood from the beginning that Charlotte had never truly fallen in love with him. It
was just that he had
always tried to force it.
Charlotte thought momentarily and decided to tell him how Joe had brought Danny to him.
“In fact, I had already guessed it.”
A hint of understanding in his eyes. He calmly continued, “Danny’s appearance was too coincidental,
and after thinking
about it for a while, everything became clear.”
But he couldn’t me Joe. Danny might have suffered for many more years without Joe, and David
might never have
reunited with him.
After all themotion, having to thank the cunning rival who got him out of the way was perhaps the
most frustrating
thing in the world.
Thinking it over, David still felt a bit upset and said, “If Joe has done anything to upset you, don’t
hesitate toe to me.
I’ll make sure to give him a good talking to.”
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
Joe loosened his cor and stared at David with a heavy gaze.
David stood up at this point, and the two of them faced off against each other, sparks seemingly filling
the air.
Joe reached out and grabbed Charlotte’s hand. His brow furrowed. “It’ste at night. Why are you still
sitting in the garden
in the cold? Let’s go inside.”
Charlotte recalled the temperature of nearly 30 degrees Celsius today. It shouldn’t have anything to do
with the cold.
David chuckled. “Mr. Smith, are you so worried I’ll steal her away?”
Joe’s gaze remained indifferent as he nced at him. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
David burst intoughter. “Whether or not you are her boyfriend, Charlotte is destined to be in the
spotlight. If you can’t
protect her well, one day, you two will split up.”
Joe’s icy gaze returned. “These matters don’t concern you. Focus on your own life.”
