My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 909

Look at him now. Not only did he ignore that fact, but he was hugging Sheryn.

Now he’s in front of me, smiling and looking so handsome. Ugh! I’m so angry!

I… I’m not jealous. I don’t even like him! I like…

Suddenly, she realized it had been a while since she had thought of Lochlan.

Uncle Lochlan… For a moment, Charlotte was in a daze.

She used to think that she had a secret crush on Lochlan. However, Kate had crushed that fantasy of hers.

After that, a perfect and talented woman like Olivia appeared, and Charlotte finally woke up from her dream.

What about now? Why do I feel anxious and annoyed when I saw Sheryn hugging Joseph? I feel sad and bitter about it too.

I… What’s wrong with me?

Her heart began racing, and she did not dare to look into Joseph’s eyes.

It was undeniable that he was handsome and had a good family background.

Fae and James also treated her well.

What if… they find out that there’s something going on between me and Joseph? Will they be like Mrs. Fraser and kick me out? Mum is so good to me. I can’t let her down.

Charlotte said stubbornly, “You think too much. You’re just a brother to me.”novelbin

As for the kiss we shared when he was asleep, I’ll just treat it as an accident.

However, when she thought of how Joseph would be with other women in the future, and she would only be an onlooker at the side, she felt her heart ache that she wanted to cry.

She held back the sadness in her heart and started to walk away. However, she had barely taken two steps when she felt a stinging pain in her ankle. She held onto a tree by the side of the road and looked at her foot.

At that moment, Joseph suddenly squatted in front of her. “Hold tight onto the tree.”

As soon as he said that, he lifted her right leg and swiftly took off her rain boot. He stared at the swollen ankle and said, “You sprained it. It’s probably injured, but I’m unsure if you broke any bones. We better hurry to the medical bay.”

“Ah!” Charlotte yelped as she felt herself being lifted off the ground. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Joseph’s neck.

Her cheeks reddened in embarrassment as she lay in Joseph’s embrace. I can’t believe he picked me up and carried me bridal-style. How embarrassing…

Joseph carried her and quickly made his way to the medical bay. What he and Charlotte did not know was that Sheryn was standing somewhere not far from them, staring at them fixedly.

Damn it! That Charlotte is such a b*tch. How dare she seduce Joseph.

Sheryn was about to explode in anger when she watched Joseph console Charlotte.

Right then, she had an idea and went to the kitchen.

It was known as the kitchen, but it was just a space where they placed a few pots and pans. They also kept the firewood that they usually burned there.

Fae would be there to help and prepare vegetables for cooking if she were free.

Usually, a few other women would also help the cooks to wash vegetables and burn firewood. After all, there were many people there.

Not only were there armed police officers and soldiers who had come to the disaster area as support, but Ashlyn and the others also needed to eat.

Therefore, many people would help out in the kitchen. Most of them were middle-aged women.

There were barely any young adults, so Sheryn’s appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

She picked up a basket of vegetables and started cutting them. A woman said, “Sheryn, you should hurry and go study. There’s no need for you to cut the vegetables. Your studies are more important.”

“It’s fine. I was tired from studying, so I thought of helping out.” Sheryn flashed the woman a shy smile.

“How kind of this girl,” Fae said. She took a basket of vegetables and made her way over while glancing at Sheryn.

She wanted to have a daughter, but it was a pity that she had given birth to a son instead.

“Mrs. Field, please don’t compliment me. I would be embarrassed,” Sheryn said with a smile as her cheeks turned red.

Fae could not help but chuckle.
