Chapter 449

" You' re finally here, Robert. We were all waiting for you. Haha." Xavier laughed and stood up. He then turned his sights toward a young and beautiful woman beside him." Robert, this is Charlotte. What do you say? Is she pretty now?"

" She's pretty." Robert nodded heavily and gave Charlotte a kind smile. " If I were to see her outside, I wouldn't recognize her."

Xavier asked, " Charlotte, do you still remember Robert? The three of us had played house in our childhood. I had acted as an older brother every time, and you two had acted as a married couple. It was indeed interesting, come to think of it."

Xavier was smiling when he felt that someone kept tugging at him. He turned around only to see Shelby giving him a meaningful look repeatedly.

He then looked at Charlotte, who was sitting there and noticed a hint of dissatisfaction in her beautiful eyes.

The rest of the people in the private room also seemed somewhat unhappy.

" We were still immature and just fooling around back in the day," Robert immediately chimed in when he read the situation." Charlotte is so beautiful. I' ll count my blessings if I can marry such a good- looking woman."

" You do have self- awareness," said Sophie, sitting next to Charlotte." Currently, Charlotte's monthly living expenses are a few thousand dollars. Not everyone can afford them. Her outfit is all from Louis Vuitton and Chanel. Everything is expensive."

Sophie was full of arrogance when she spoke.

At this moment, Charlotte put down her cutlery and glanced at Robert." Robert, it has been a while since we met. I feel that you haven't changed much. Come and find somewhere to sit. Make yourself comfortable."

Robert nodded and took an empty seat.

Sitting at the side, Shelby rolled her eyes and whispered to Xavier, " Xavier, who is Charlotte? As soon as I entered the room, I saw her being arrogant. She looked as though she didn't care about others at all. Look, the people sitting at this table do not care about her, yet she keeps talking enthusiastically. Now she's even putting on airs for Robert. Robert has such a good temper. If I were him, I would have slapped

her!"

Xavier whispered, " Just calm down. We were invited to dinner."

" So what? Does she think she can be arrogant just because she's treating us to dinner? I mean, who can't afford a meal? As if I'm happy to come!" Shelby looked utterly displayed.

Xavier paid no heed to Shelby anymore and raised his glass at Robert." Robert, let's toast with Charlotte. The three of us haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss our time in childhood so much."

Xavier was sincere in his words. Those childhood friends would always remind him of memories of the past.

Robert also raised his glass.

After the two of them raised their glasses for more than ten seconds, Charlotte slowly finished the food in her mouth and raised the glass in front of her." Xavier, it has been many years since our childhood. Don't mention the past anymore."

" Haha. Memories are precious." Xavier laughed and drank the wine in his glass all at once.

So did Robert.

Charlotte merely took a sip of the wine and put down the glass.

After that, Xavier talked a lot about their childhood, but nobody at the table responded to him. While Robert was chatting with Xavier, Charlotte had been facing down and eating her food all the while as though the funny stories of their childhood had nothing to do with her.

" Hey, you! You' re talking too much." Sophie glared at Xavier. " Charlotte is the one who invited us to dinner today. Do you think you are the host? By the way, Charlotte, I heard you won't stay for long this time?"

" Yes." Hearing that, Charlotte immediately put down her cutlery and glanced around with a sad look on her face."I came back this time to meet with several major companies and discuss investing in them. It's hard to get a break from school. Yet, I'm still busy working and can't takea good rest."
