Chapter 100

Charlotte was too stunned to move, not because she was lost in his tenderness again, but simply out of fear that he might get carried away here.

At this moment, her body felt weak and soft, and she reallycouldn't handle any more of this.

Fortunately. Frederick only kissed her passionately for a while before stopping.

He held Charlotte in his arms, feeling the emptiness in his heart gradually being filled with a sense of happiness.

"It's so good to have you," Frederick murmured, his voice filled with lingering emotion.

Charlotte leaned against him, catching her breath and calming her emotions.

Hearing his words, Charlotte's face turned serious. "There are some things you might not remember, but I need to reiterate them."

She lifted her head and looked into Frederick's eyes, speaking earnestly,"The situation between you and Serena has become a chain and shackle between us. I trusted you once before and was willing to give you a fresh start, but then you lost your memory. This time, I'm still willing to give you a chance to handle it, but if your answer is still to be with her,then please let me go. If you can't give me a future, then set me free."

This time, Charlotte was giving Frederick an ultimatum.

Her previous plan was to leave quietly after the divorce, but now, she also

wanted to give Frederick a final explanation.

"No." Frederick felt a sudden panic in his heart. He held her tightly,afraid she would disappear the next moment.

Charlotte gently hugged him back, feeling an unprecedented sense of peace.

Previously, she hadn't thought things through and had been too selfish.When she found out about Frederick and Serena,she had unilaterally decided her and the child's future.

But that was also Frederick's fault at the time. His behavior only made her want to escape. If Frederick back then had been like he was now, she might have...

Never mind, she thought. Let's just consider this the last chance for both of them.

If nothing changes, she won't have any regrets.

When they returned to the villa from the company, Charlotte was stunned as soon as they entered the living room.

"What are you doing here?" Charlotte was shocked to see Serena,completely unprepared for her presence.

Serena was wearing a red velvet bathrobe, covering herself tightly, and holding a towel to dry her hair, clearly just having taken a shower.

"Why can't I be here? Charlotte, do you want to kick me out?" Serena questioned, moving closer to Frederick. "Frederick, please don't make me leave. I can't trust anyone else. I have nowhere else to go."

Charlotte was completely bewildered. Serena had been taken away by someone, and that person had even called her.

Charlotte asked. "After we met today, weren't you taken away by someone when I left? How did you get back?"

A flash of malice crossed Serena's eyes, but when she looked up, her big eyes were full of innocence.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "When was I taken away? After you left,I just took a cab home. Why are you telling Frederick I was..."

At this point, Serena's voice choked up. "Even though I know you don't like me, you can't ruin my reputation like this. If what you said were true,my reputation would be destroyed. Frederick,say something!"

Frederick frowned, his gaze sharp as he looked at Serena.

He fully believed Charlotte now, but he didn't speak rashly because he wanted to know what Serena was hiding.

If what Charlotte said was true, then Serena had been taken away. Given Serena's personality, if she had been taken by bad people, she would have made a huge fuss, not kept quiet like this.

So,what was Serena hiding?

Charlotte couldn't figure it out. She looked at Serena and asked, "Why are you lying? Who took you? Stop acting. We both know what happened today. If someone took you, they wouldn't have let you go so easily. Or do you know them?"

Serena was startled, not expecting Charlotte to be so perceptive.She had underestimated her. Serena immediately retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? You asked me out, said some strange things, then left. I just took a cab home.There were no kidnappers! Charlotte, are you jealous that I'm about to return to the entertainment industry, sb you want to ruin me?"

Charlotte narrowed her eyes, feeling a bit of admiration for Serena's composure and acting skills, being able to lie so smoothly.

Charlotte didn't speak but walked closer to Serena, circling her.

Then Charlotte said confidently, "You still have that smell on you, and it's even stronger than before. It's the smell of a man's semen."

After saying this, Charlotte glanced at Frederick, her expression complicated.

Last time in the hospital, she hadn't recognized the smell immediately,but having just been intimate with Frederick, she made the connection.

The smell on Serena was semen. Although Serena had washed it off,Charlotte could still detect it.

And that was very strange. If Serena had encountered something bad,why wouldn't she say anything?

Was she afraid Frederick would abandon her if he found out?

"What smell? Stop making things up!" Serena was almost in shock.She had been bathing since she got back, washing herself repeatedly,but Charlotte still smelled it!

"Charlotte, don't think you can bully me. Tonight, you've repeatedly slandered me, first telling Frederick I was kidnapped, now sayingI have a man's semen on me. If you keep lying, I'll have my lawyer sue you! We'll both go down together."

Charlotte looked at her calmly. "Fine, I'll be waiting."

The more agitated Serena became, the more it proved Charlótte's nose hadn't deceived her.

"Frederick! Don't you believe me?" Serena turned to Frederick, holding her wrist up to him. "Smell me. How could I have the smell of semen? This is slander!"

Frederick's expression remained calm, but he did lean in to smell her.Apart from a faint scent of body wash, he didn't detect anything unusual.

But even so, he still believed Charlotte.
