Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen-Chapter 783: Sleep in separate beds

Charlotte had no impression of this Dion in her mind, so she responded vaguely, "...I got it."

Ilisa Lyons was still not fully reassured, "You must talk to Robert about it tonight."

"Okay."

After the instructions ended, Ilisa Lyons finally regained her composure and asked in a friendly tone, "Charlotte, what do you think about having a child with Robert?"

Charlotte thought they were about to end the call when she suddenly heard her mother shift the topic to her and Robert Stephens, and she paused briefly, blinking her long eyelashes, and softly said, "I think I’m still young, and it’s not the right time to have children."

Ilisa Lyons did not expect her to answer this way, "What did you say?"

"I don’t want children, Mom."

"Charlotte Smith!" Ilisa Lyons’s tone suddenly rose. She was naturally headstrong, and the entire Smith family respected her. But now, being defied by her daughter, her temper flared up. "Do you even know what you’re saying? You are supposed to contribute to the Smith family, you know? I sent you to Robert’s side not just to have a romance with him!"

Charlotte hung her head, her pale face showing little emotion, and she replied faintly, "Mom, I forgot to tell you, I just got a birth control shot a few days ago."

"Charlotte Smith!"

"I don’t plan to have Robert’s child. We weren’t meant to be together, and forcing him to stay by having a child would be unfair to him." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"But you’re starting to care about other families. You’re so considerate of him; has he ever thought about you?" Ilisa Lyons sarcastically retorted, "You’ve been with him for so many years, once he gets tired of you, if you don’t have a child soon, how many more years do you think you can keep him around?"

"..."

Charlotte leaned against the sofa, listening to her mother cursing on the other end.

She recalled that she had been threatened by Ilisa Lyons back then, which led her to secretly become pregnant with Robert Stephens’s child.

Back then, she was indeed too young, scared by Ilisa Lyon’s few words.

Once pregnant, she didn’t dare mention it to Robert Stephens and snuck back home.

Until he found out...

...

Charlotte blinked her eyes and shivered.

The memories were too tragic, and a layer of goosebumps surfaced on her slender wrist. Charlotte snapped out of it, shaking her head as she heard Ilisa Lyons’s shouting on the phone, and without hesitation, she hung up.

She could no longer be the foolish girl she once was, easily terrified by Ilisa Lyons’s threats.

She used to love him too much, losing herself in fear of being abandoned, which made her do such things.

The phone vibrated again; Charlotte glanced at it, and seeing it was Ilisa Lyons calling, she directly declined the call.

A few seconds later, Ilisa Lyons called again; she frowned in annoyance, and with a swipe of her slender fingers, she blocked her number.

She imagined Ilisa Lyons in a state of frenzy and slightly curled her lips.

For her to become the puppet she once was again, would be a mere dream.

Tossing the phone aside, Charlotte leaned on the sofa, her snow-white, delicate face showing a hint of confusion.

Although she now avoided the same pitfalls she once set up, she and Robert slept together every day; sooner or later, it would still...

She decided she would have to sleep in separate beds from Robert Stephens in the future.
