"We know mommy is busy with work, so let's surprise her."
Jack Thompson envelops Charlotte, his chubby face beaming with a bright smile.
Although Jack and Chad have been recognized by the Ross family, they still enjoy calling Charlotte mom.
Initially, Charlotte was worried about the Ross family's thoughts on this, but their worries disappeared after she agreed to send the children back to the Ross family every week.
"Good children."
Charlotte kisses them one by one, feeling the day's fatigue simply melting away.
She lifts her head and looks at the man standing before her, Justin Battleson, and flashes him a smile.
The setting sun outside the window sheds a slanted light, turning the originally serious office into a place filled with a different kind of warmth.
Standing against the light, Charlotte is covered in the soft radiance of the setting sun. Both the glow and her smile burrow right into Justin's eyes.
