Chapter 37 This Girl Isn’t Half Bad

It was 11 o’clock at night.

Charlotte didn’t feel the slightest bit lethargic as she rolled around in bed. The image of Sheryl having fun with Shane earlier during the day kept resurfacing in her mind.

Sheryl’s pure smile reflected so much happiness. It was evident that she was having such a good time.

As she looked back on this, Charlotte felt a little rueful.

She knew for a fact that Sheryl had always longed for fatherly love. Still, she never mentioned wanting a father as she was worried about hurting her mother’s heart. Even when other children teased her, she would silently put up with it alone.

Sheryl’s obedience and pragmatism only made Charlotte feel more ashamed of herself as a mother.

The phone she had put aside buzzed. The notification immediately pulled Charlotte back to her senses.

Wiping away her tears, she picked up her phone from the bedside table. It was a message from Anne.

‘Lottie, are you asleep?’
