After getting in the car, Justin Battleson turned to look at Charlotte Thompson in the passenger seat, brushing her tousled hair from her cheek.
Charlotte still looked a bit pale.
A pang of distress surged in Justin's heart, he softly said, "Don't worry about that mess anymore."
Charlotte shook her head, the persistent inquiries from the reporters still vivid in her mind.
Although she had anticipated this outcome before leaving the company, she was still taken aback when faced with it abruptly.
Charlotte shook her head again, "It's okay, I don't mind."
Justin could see Charlotte's distress, and so he held her hand in a comforting gesture.
"Really, I have already seen a lot of those rumors on the internet. I am just worried that the kids might feel upset if they saw it."
The children are always the ones closest to Charlotte's heart.
