Chapter 690: Extra 67: Knocking on the Door in the Late Night
Before the New Year, Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane took their children back to Cold Green Village.
A new room was built behind the original house on the mountain in Cold Green Village, for the children to live in.
In recent years, the conditions in Cold Green Village have improved. Water and electricity are now available, and stable enough for appliances.
The most significant change is that there is now signal, and Internet access.
Since the winter climate there is warmer this year, Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane took their three children there for a visit.
In the past, they would take their children there for a day or two during spring and autumn.
This year, they took them there in winter as well, but only stayed for one night before leaving.
Charlotte had to deal with some urgent matters in Durham City, so she went ahead, and Kevin Clark took the children back to the Imperial Capital.
Then… Kevin Clark sent the children back to the Imperial Capital, and went back to Durham City.
This is the supposed business trip of Kevin Clark mentioned online.
In reality, he went to Durham City to find his wife and also to visit Hardy Clark.
Hardy Clark married into the Joyce Family in Durham City.
Actually, Durham City is not very far from the Imperial Capital. It only takes about an hour by airplane.
But, in the eyes of the Clark Family, anywhere outside the Imperial Capital is considered far away.
The Joyce Family is very prestigious in Durham City and has a huge family.
Just in time, the Joyce Family was holding a grand end-of-the-year celebration, with many important people from Durham City attending.
Knowing that Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane were in Durham City, they sent them an invitation.
But that night, Charlotte Lane was a bit late due to work, and in order to support Hardy Clark, Kevin Clark went over first.
After all, he was in Durham City, and not attending might give people the impression that the Clark Family didn’t value Hardy Clark.
So he went over early and made quite an entrance.
It was around this time that he caught someone’s attention.
By the time Charlotte Lane arrived, the celebration was almost over. She met some people in the inner circle and chatted with Hardy Clark for a while.
After that, Hardy Clark took her to the hotel room, and the two chatted in the room for a long time.
Kevin Clark talked to Hardy Clark’s husband, and returned to the hotel room a bit late.
As they returned to the room one after another, and Charlotte Lane hadn’t shown herself, someone got curious.
Leah Joyce was also a member of this enormous family and attended the celebration.
She saw Kevin Clark and wanted to go over and say hello, but Kevin Clark was surrounded by the Joyce Family heads, elders, and the Old Master.
She couldn’t find an opportunity until the celebration was over.
She tried her best to find out if Kevin Clark had come alone, as she had been observing from a distance and hadn’t seen Charlotte Lane.
After asking around, many people said they hadn’t seen Charlotte Lane. In the end, she asked the hotel staff, who also said they hadn’t seen her and weren’t sure.
Convinced that Kevin Clark had come alone, she found out his room number.
She then happily and excitedly returned to her room, took nearly two hours to bathe, take care of her skin, choose clothes, and get dressed up carefully.
And then proceeded to knock on Kevin Clark’s door.
At that time, Hardy Clark had just left the hotel room half an hour ago.
Kevin Clark and Charlotte Lane moved from the bathroom to the bedchamber and were just about to get into the subject.
When the doorbell rang.
Charlotte Lane lay on the bed, her fair skin flushed pink, her cold eyes filled with moisture, incredibly beautiful and seductive.
The sudden ringing of the doorbell brought her back to her senses: “Kevin Clark.”
Kevin Clark continued to kiss her, without giving a response.
“Kevin Clark, someone’s knocking on the door,” Charlotte Lane said softly.
Kevin Clark, panting a bit, said, “I can’t hear.”
Charlotte Lane: “……”
Kevin Clark really couldn’t hear, apparently…
However, the doorbell kept ringing, turning into knocking on the door, and Charlotte Lane began to resist.
Kevin Clark gently bit her lips and looked at her. His narrow eyes filled with passion, the corners reddened, and filled with affectionate desire.
Now a touch of grievance was added.
Charlotte Lane nudged his leg and chuckled, “Go check.”
Kevin Clark took a deep breath, kissed her again, got out of bed, put on his sleeping robe, and went to the door with an evil fire in his face.
He looked through the cat-eye and saw a woman with disheveled hair and a strapped dress standing outside. He clenched his back teeth and returned to the bedroom.
Charlotte Lane put on her bathrobe, picked up the clothes that Kevin Clark had torn and thrown on the floor before entering the bathroom, and tossed them on a nearby chair.
Seeing him return without opening the door and still with a furious face, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Who?”
Kevin Clark looked at her and paused before saying, “A woman.”
Charlotte Lane blinked gently, grasped the situation, and then laughed.
“You’re laughing.” Kevin Clark gritted his teeth.
“Let me go check.” Charlotte Lane said.
Kevin Clark held her back, not wanting her to go.
“Let’s deal with it since she’s here.” Charlotte Lane looked at him, and in an instant, she glanced down at his lower body, “Let me go instead.”
Kevin Clark: “……”
Charlotte Lane went to open the door.
Leah Joyce was persistently knocking on the door outside. She had dressed up for so long and couldn’t waste her efforts.
Finally, she heard the door opening.
She was overjoyed, lifted her head, stuck out her chest, smiled, arranged her hair, and managed her expression.
But when the door opened, and she saw the person inside, her smile froze instantly, and the blood in her body seemed to cool down.
Charlotte Lane glanced at the sexy little dress on Leah’s body and the delicate makeup on her face, raising her eyebrows slightly, “May I help you, miss?”
Leah’s face was full of panic, looking at the faint red that hadn’t faded from the person’s face, her throat seemed to be strangled, and she couldn’t make a sound.
Charlotte Lane leaned against the door, makeup-free but more stunning than Leah’s makeup. Her half-dried hair was a bit fluffy.
She was coldly elegant and casual, her aura frosty.
As Leah didn’t speak, Charlotte Lane chuckled softly, “Miss Leah, you’re here to see Kevin Clark.”
“I, I need to see Third Master for something.” In a panic, Leah blurted out the words.
After saying it, she regretted it. She should have said she was knocking on the wrong door, but it was too late now.
“He’s not available right now.” Charlotte Lane said calmly.
Kevin Clark listened in the room: “……”
“It’s not an urgent matter. I won’t bother you anymore.” Leah hastily wanted to leave.
Charlotte Lane stopped her, “Leah.”
Leah’s shoulder trembled.
“I hope this is the last time.” Charlotte Lane said calmly, “For the sake of the Joyce Family’s face, I won’t pursue today’s matter. But some things don’t happen twice. Once more, no one can save you.”
Leah’s legs were like lead, unable to move.
“Moreover, do you think the Joyce Family would protect you when facing the Lane Family or the Clark Family?” Charlotte Lane said, “Keep your mind straight, and if you get close to Kevin Clark again, I will make you as miserable as possible.”
Her voice was soft and gentle, like a knife, stabbing into the heart’s nest, one stab at a time.
Leah didn’t dare to look at her, and she fled in panic, as if there was a demon chasing her behind.
Seeing her leave, Charlotte Lane closed the door and returned to the room.
Kevin Clark was waiting for her at the bedroom door. When she approached, he gently touched her face and said, “Are you mad?”
“There’s nothing to be mad about.” Charlotte Lane raised her eyebrows.
Kevin Clark looked at her, sighed lightly, and smiled, “I feel like I haven’t been taken seriously.”
“How do you want to be taken seriously?” Charlotte Lane looked up at him with a smile in her eyes, speaking softly and drawling out her words, “Brother Arthur.”
Kevin Clark embraced her waist, held her in his arms, and kissed her forehead, “Be cooperative tonight, and don’t curse.”
“We’ll see.” Charlotte Lane said.
Kevin Clark smiled, held her tightly, and kissed her again.
