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 was large, with the bookcases and floor in the color of wood. On the right hand side was a large table with a computer

and a stack of papers on it. At the first glance, 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 accidentally.

"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, completely 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 medicine later 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 explained, "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 glance 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 a lady whom Leo liked very much and frequently invited her to our home. That lady 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 uncomfortable 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
