A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 373

A 30% chance was indeed low.

It was 5:00 pm when Summer left the coffee shop. She felt down upon learning how slim her chance of winning the case was. It was lower than what she expected.

She hurried back to the apartment, where Charlotte was sitting on the settee watching TV. Charlotte put away the remote control, scurried back into the room, and slammed the door shut.

Maria was cleaning the living room when she saw what happened. "Little Miss Valentine was not too happy when she woke up and found that you had gone out without bringing her along. She is still angry now."

"She is irascible indeed." Summer let out a smile.

"Children are like that. When she woke up without seeing you, she cried the entire time, looking for you. A t least, the cartoon could divert her attention." Maria also let out a smile.

"Let me go in and coax Charlotte. I will leave you to it, Maria." Summer stood outside the door and knocked o n the door, making a voice that imitated Barney. "Hey, Baby Bop. This is Barney. Do you want to play with m

e?"

But the playful Charlotte gave no response. Apparently, she was angry.

"Aren't you going to open the door, Charlotte? I am going to make wine now. Do you want to give me a hand?" She tried to lure Charlotte out.

Sure enough, after a while, the door opened ajar with Charlotte's head poking out. "You make wine?"

"Yeah, do you want to come together?" She knew Charlotte's soft spot.
