Chapter 148 

smine snuggled closer into Charlene’s embrace, burying her small face in the warmth of her neck to escape the biting chill of the evening air. 

Charlene’s coat was soft and cozy, and Jasmine took full advantage of the comfort, rubbing her cheek affectionately against Charlene’s neck. 

Thome was usually punctual, a trait he took quite seriously. 

Just as Charlene was carrying Jasmine to the parking lot, Thorne’s car rolled in, almost as if on cue. He pulled up right next to them, the car coming to a halt at Charlene’s feet. 

Seeing them, Jasmine didn’t make any move to get down; instead, she rolled down the window and, with a playful whine, said to Thorne sitting inside, “Daddy, carry me inside.”

Seeing that Charlene still looked at him as if he were a stranger, Granger stood still. 

As Charlene opened her car door, she saw Granger still looking at her, seemingly wanting to say something She asked, with a hint of coldness and distance, “Is there something you need?” 

Granger hesitated. 

In the end, he didn’t bring up the evening’s events. 

He said, “Daisy has a gift for you. Would you have time for a meal together in the next few days?” 

Daisy had been through a lot, both physically and emotionally. 

She had once told Charlene that she reminded her of her late mother. 

So, Charlene understood Daisy’s attachment. 

Truth be told, she was rather fond of Daisy. 

Under normal circumstances, she would set aside her personal grievances with Granger to spend time with
