When Charlotte turned around, she saw Hector.

He held her tightly in his embrace, just like her protector.

She could see the longing and pain in his eyes.

At that moment, Charlotte felt emotions swell within her, as if she had returned to the past.

“M-Mr. Sterling...” Ms. Horner widened her eyes in shock and thought that she was seeing things.

“Your hand...”

When he saw the cut on Charlotte’s hand, Hector furrowed his eyebrows and barked at Ms. Horner, “What gives you the right to touch her?”

“Erm...” Ms. Horner was so frightened that she felt a chill down her spine.

“Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling and Timothy just left.”

Ms. Zane meekly reminded him as she assumed Hector had mistaken Charlotte for Luna.


Hearing those words, Charlotte regained her senses. That’s right, Hector is married to Luna now and they even have a son. I shouldn’t have any more fantasies.

With that thought in mind, Charlotte pushed Hector away immediately and stepped to the side.

“I know, I asked them to head home first.”

Hector recovered his usual elegant demeanor. Looking at the two children in front of Charlotte, a sudden mix of emotions engulfed his heart.

Robbie and Jamie had rushed to protect their mother when Ms. Horner confronted her. It was just that Hector beat them to it.

“Are they... your children?” Hector looked at Charlotte knowingly.

“Yes!” Charlotte averted her gaze. Will he hate me for my impulsive actions then?

Despite his calm exterior, Hector subconsciously clenched his fists.

After a brief silence, he told the principal, “Ms. Horner, I have seen the security footage and it was indeed Timothy’s fault.”

“Yes, yes.”

Ms. Horner had lost track of what was going on. She could only nod and agree to whatever Hector said.

Hector knelt down and gently asked Ellie, “Little girl, did Timothy color your hair with paint?”

“Yes.” Ellie grumbled with a pout, “He was the one who bullied me and my two brothers only warned him about it. They didn’t hit him. It was he who threw the crystal ball out the window in a fit of anger...”
