In the evening, Charlotte Thompson put the children to bed. Initially, the children wanted her to stay with them, but ultimately, Justin Battleson put a stop to their scheme.
After telling them stories and making sure they were all sound asleep, Charlotte left the room.
She cautiously closed the door behind her and then straightened up.
"You've worked hard," said Justin Battleson, who was waiting outside the door. When he saw Charlotte coming out, he embraced her waist.
Charlotte shook her head.
Now that it was just the two of them, Charlotte leaned into Justin's embrace, placing all her weight on him.
Justin lifted Charlotte horizontally and carried her back to their room.
He gently laid Charlotte on the bed and softly caressed her eyebrows and eyes.
However, just then, Charlotte's phone on the table started vibrating again. Charlotte intended to get up and reach for it, but Justin pressed her shoulders back down to the bed.
Charlotte looked up at Justin, somewhat puzzled.
