My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2310

The shadow lightly tapped Charlotte on the shoulder. Charlotte yawned but did not turn around.

“Just leave the coffee there. Thanks, Sterling.”

Sterling quietly placed the coffee aside.

“Yeah, you should try not to stay up too late. Get some rest.”

“Haha, you’ve really changed since back then… But I can feel it, and you can too.” Charlotte smiled.

Sterling nodded.

“Now, Mosley is dead. The person who saved you and your mother... seems to be the me from my previous life.”

Charlotte waved her hand. “I know, which is why I didn’t mention it during the day. I didn’t expect you to have noticed."

Charlotte immediately rushed forward. “Mom!”
