Upon seeing herself in the mirror, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief. After the recovery, there was not a single scar on her face. Moreover, through the nourishment of medication, she found her skin even more hydrated and elastic than before.
This pleasantly surprised her.
The results seemed quite good. She had been worried about being disfigured before.
“As I said, Mr. Wright’s skills are trustworthy. Can you relax now?” Quentin teased.
Charlotte blushed slightly.
“I haven’t been home for so many days. I want to go back and see Theo and Janessa,” she said. “I wonder how the two kids are doing.”
She was concerned about her children.
“I’ll go back with you.”
The Pittman family’s rental house.
The Pittman couple had picked up the two children from school. However, the two little ones didn’t seem to be in high spirits.
Janessa blinked and asked, “Grandma, when will Mom and Dad come back? Janessa hasn’t seen them for several days, and Janessa misses them so much.”
Emma also felt sorry for them and said, “They’ll be back soon. Your mom still has things to do, so Janessa won’t be able to see her for a while!”
Emma knew some details about what Carl had done to her daughter in the Night City. As a mother, she was very distressed upon learning that her daughter had been so cruelly treated. However, now that Charlotte was recuperating in the hospital, she couldn’t disturb her.
“Okay.” Janessa’s mood became even more low.
“Theo, Janessa, Mom’s back!” a voice sounded from the doorway. Charlotte hurriedly walked in. “Do you miss Mommy?”
“Mommy.” As soon as they saw Charlotte, the two little ones immediately went from sad to happy and rushed over. Charlotte quickly squatted down and caught them both.
“We miss you! Mom and Dad haven’t had time to be with us for so long…”
They both looked so pitiful.
Seeing their low spirits, Charlotte and Quentin felt a little guilty.
“Alright! Mom will definitely spend more time with you during this period,” Charlotte promised them. “As an apology, you can ask Mom and Dad for a favor!”
“Really?”
Their eyes lit up.
“Of course!” Quentin squatted down and patted their heads. “Whatever you want, Dad can promise you!”
“Great! Tomorrow is the weekend, and I want Mom and Dad to spend the whole day with us! We want to go to KFC, have ice cream… and go to the amusement park!”
Janessa looked up. “Many of our classmates have been to KFC and the amusement park, and Janessa wants to go too…”
Quentin felt a pang in his heart!
The wishes of the two children were so simple and pure. And from their eager eyes, he could see what kind of days they had lived before. Their biggest wish was just to go to KFC once and play at the amusement park.
“Okay!”
“Dad promises you!”
Not to mention these small wishes; even if the two children wanted to buy all the KFC outlets in the country or visit all the amusement parks in the country, he would unconditionally fulfill them!
“Yeah! Yeah!”
“Janessa can finally go to KFC! Janessa can finally go to the amusement park!” Janessa jumped up, her eyes full of excitement.
Theo was a bit more restrained, but the hope in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
Seeing this scene, Quentin felt even more bitter…
The two children had suffered too much. As their father, he owed them too much! He could only try his best to make up for the love he owed them in the past!
“Then Dad, let’s make a pinky promise!”
“Sure!”
The next day.
In the morning, Quentin drove to pick them up. When he arrived at the Pittman family’s house, the two children were already waiting inside. As soon as they saw him, they rushed over.
“Haha.”
Quentin lifted them up, kissed each of their faces, and said, “Let’s go! Mom and Dad will take you to play.”
Charlotte was also smiling happily, silently following behind them.
This scene truly warmed her heart. When she was alone with the two children before, although they were very sensible and obedient, she didn’t feel this kind of warmth…
This was the feeling of home.
“Where are you planning to take them?” Charlotte asked with a gentle smile.
“I specially checked online. Purity is the best Western restaurant in Stresall. I also read some reviews online, and they’re very positive.”
Quentin smiled. “I think we can take them there to try it out.”
“After all, these upscale restaurants are more hygienic and delicious than places like KFC, and they won’t upset their stomachs.”
Charlotte was a bit surprised to see how carefully Quentin had planned this outing, but deep down, she was very happy. It showed that the children held a very important place in his heart.
This man truly gave her a great sense of security!
“Alright.”
“I’ll follow your plan.”
Charlotte smiled gently, her radiance overshadowing everything else.
Half an hour later, Quentin parked the car in the underground garage and led the two children towards Purity.
The storefront was extravagantly decorated.
There were two female waitresses in uniform standing at the entrance, smiling politely and bowing to the entering and exiting customers. All the people coming and going were well-dressed people.
It was clearly a high-end establishment.
Charlotte walked over, intending to enter, but the two waitresses at the entrance politely stopped her with a smile.
“Madam, please show us your membership card.”
“Membership card?”
“Yes, our establishment operates on a membership basis, and it’s a high-consumption venue.”
The two women smiled.
“And… how much is the membership?” Charlotte asked.
“The annual fee is twenty thousand.”
Charlotte immediately showed a troubled expression.
Twenty thousand!
This was not a small amount for her. It wasn’t worth it to spend that much for just one meal.
The two female waitresses smiled and said, “Madam, if you don’t have a membership card, you won’t be able to enter our establishment for dining.”
“If our standards don’t meet your consumption level, we suggest you go to the nearby small shops. They’re more affordable.”
“We cater to a high-end clientele here.”
