Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 35

Previously, I could still say that Charlotte was the one who misunderstood the situation. Right now, however, Lucas was actually lying.

Nevertheless, I soon noticed the slight stiffness in Lucas' expression.

If he and his father were in on the lie together, he wouldn't have had such a strange expression after ending the call.

So, my guess is that his father told him the truth, but he was the one who decided to lie through his teeth till the end.

At this moment, an apologetic look came across Charlotte's face. "I'm sorry, Lucas. Aunt Bonnie didn't have any ill intentions. Please don't hold it against her."

Lucas laughed awkwardly. "No worries."

At the end of the day, Bonnie was someone who had been around the block. She scrutinized Lucas for a moment with a skeptical gaze.

But, she didn't say much to his face.

"Okay, all's good as long as you're fine. I can be at ease now. I'm gonna leave."

Charlotte nodded. "Aunt Bonnie, take these fruits and milk back for your little one. There's too much for me to finish."

"Alright, then."

She started picking the items up from the table. She took the two fruit baskets and the box of milk. She was about to leave when she suddenly noticed the fruits that had scattered on the floor.

"This is…"

In shock, she crouched down, picked up a handful of fruits, and examined it carefully.

Upon seeing that, Charlotte felt extremely awkward. "Aunt Bonnie, that's just some trash that a poor loser from my school gave to me. I was about to throw it all away."

I opened my mouth to speak, but hesitated.

Excuse me, that so-called "poor loser" hadn't left. Couldn't she have been more polite in the face of this poor loser?

That being said, Bonnie suddenly gasped. "Trash? Lottie, don't you know what this is? These are premium bilberries, which are good for the brain.

"My, my. This has been really popular in affluent women's circles!"

"They might look like mulberries, but their nutritional and remedial values are comparable to that of salmon and kale, and they're extremely delicious.
