Mr. Norman, She's Out of Your League Now novel Chapter 33

After leaving the research institute, Charlotte headed straight home.

The moment she entered the door, Amber ran up to welcome her.

"Welcome home, Mommy! You worked so hard today!" she exclaimed sweetly.

Amber even thoughtfully brought over Charlotte's slippers. Then she dashed back to the living room to pour a glass of water for her.

"You're such a good girl!"

Charlotte's heart warmed instantly. She smiled as she took her daughter into her arms and kissed her. "What did you do today? Did you go out and play?"

"Yes!" Amber nodded and told her about her search for the kitten.

However, she didn't mention a word about running into Brian as she feared it would upset Charlotte.

They spoke briefly until Rose came over to call them for dinner.

After dinner, Charlotte's mother, Claudia, called from Juxburg.

Charlotte answered immediately.

"Lottie, how were things at the branch office today? Was the work tiring?" her mother asked.

Hearing her mother's gentle voice, Charlotte quickly replied, "It's not tiring at all. Although the workload is a bit heavy, I can manage."

Claudia felt her heart break at the thought of her hard-working daughter. Her tone carried a tinge of blame as she sighed and said, "It's all your father's fault. You wouldn't have to return to that place if it weren't for his busy schedule. When he returns, I'll make sure to punish him."

Charlotte sensed her mother's affection and concern for her.

She chuckled. "Go easy on Dad. He's also doing his best."

Amber chimed in to help Claudia, saying, "Grandma, make sure you punish Grandpa!"

Her words caused both Charlotte and Claudia to burst out laughing.

"Grandpa spoils you so much. He'd be heartbroken if he knew you secretly wanted him to get punished!" Charlotte said as she playfully pinched her daughter's soft cheeks.

"Well, what can I say? Grandma and I love Mommy the most!" Amber giggled.
