"Those two... indeed, they are Mr. Ross's children."
Charlotte Thompson put down her coffee cup and said gently.
It was a whisper, almost as if she was talking to herself.
But, the weight of her words pounded heavily into Justin Battleson's chest.
A hint of shock showed on Justin's face.
He looked at Charlotte in disbelief, trying to read a hint of a joke in her expression, even if it was just a fleeting moment.
Yet, Charlotte remained calm, no sign of jesting.
"Now that Mr. Battleson knows this, will he tell Mr. Ross?"
Charlotte looked at Justin and asked in seemingly an accidental mention.
She turned her eyes to a distance.
On the table nearby, there was a transparent glass vase filled with bright red roses, in full bloom.
The vibrant roses caught Charlotte's attention, stimulating her visual senses.
Suddenly, she was curious about what was running through Justin's mind at this moment.
Or whether he might mention this matter to Adam Ross.
