Chapter 824: Chapter 824

"Great-grandmother, rest assured, when I grow up, I will definitely buy you your favorite things and take good care of you," Evelyn said.

Hank Thompson straightened up quickly, patting his chest as he spoke.

"Yes, yes, once we start earning money, we must repay our great-grandmother well," Justin added.

"I want to buy great-grandmother lots of beautiful clothes, and Grace wants to learn to make pastries to serve to great-grandmother later," Charlotte chimed in.

"Whatever great-grandmother likes, that’s what we’ll buy for her." Original content can be found at novęlfire.net

"Great-grandmother needs to stay healthy," Charlotte declared.

Jasmine Clarkson hastily nodded, responding to the children one-by-one, a bit overwhelmed, "Okay, great-grandmother will wait for you, wait for you to buy nice things for her."

"We all love great-grandmother the most," Grace Thompson said, clinging to Jasmine and speaking coquettishly.

"And great-grandmother loves you little ones the most too," Jasmine nodded, suddenly as if she remembered something, she turned her head to glance at Charlotte and couldn’t help but laugh,

"So, compared to mommy, who do you love more, great-grandmother or your mommy?"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Thompson also paused, turning to see the children somewhat flustered by Jasmine’s teasing.

She shook her head slightly in resignation, recalling those scenes when she had spent time with Jasmine.

Grandma still had that frame of mind.

"We love both great-grandmother and mommy the most."

"Yes, yes, great-grandmother is just as important as mommy."

The little ones gathered around, pulling on Jasmine’s hands and hanging onto Charlotte’s arm.

This made Justin Battleson beside them seem a bit lonely.

Suddenly recalling his own childhood, Justin looked at Charlotte and the children with eyes full of tenderness.

Sensing Justin’s gaze, Charlotte turned her head, their eyes meeting in the air, reflecting each other’s faces.

Charlotte then grabbed Justin’s hand, smiling at him tenderly.

Jasmine found it hard to let the children leave and hoped Charlotte could leave the children with her for a few more days.

The children, naturally fond of staying with Jasmine, were also polite and worried about disturbing her rest, but their eyes still held a hint of hope as they looked at Charlotte.

Unable to resist Jasmine and also having quite a bit of work at hand over the next few days, Charlotte might not have enough time to look after the children, so she nodded in agreement.

"Yay, we can stay with great-grandmother again," Grace Thompson clapped her hands in excitement.

"Don’t worry, mommy, we will all be very well-behaved, and we have big brother to help too," one of the children assured.

To the children, Cyrus Thompson was a pillar of reliability.

Cyrus nodded towards Charlotte, "Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t let Leon and the sisters cause any trouble for great-grandmother."

"Don’t worry, Mom," Charlotte gently touched Cyrus’s head, then looked up at Jasmine, "Grandma, I’m leaving the kids in your care."

"Look at you, talking like we’re strangers; I wouldn’t mind keeping them here forever. They’re all so well-behaved and sensible, they couldn’t possibly cause any hassle. You and your husband go enjoy your time together," Jasmine said, waving her hand dismissively.

By then, dinner was ready, and Justin and Charlotte stayed to eat before leaving.

However, as soon as Charlotte got in the car, she received a call from the Thompson family.

It was Henry Thompson calling.

Charlotte was surprised that her older brother was calling at this time.

"Big brother, what’s happened?" she inquired.

"Charlotte, we’ve located Evelyn Curtis," Henry’s deep voice conveyed from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing the name "Evelyn Curtis," the hand Charlotte had resting on her lap involuntarily tightened.

Seeing Charlotte’s reaction, Justin, who was driving, frowned.
