As soon as the call connected, before the sullen-faced Joshua Thompson could say anything, the other brothers had already crowded around.
"Charlotte, what’s wrong with you? Did sothing happen?"
"Yeah, what on earth have you done? You made your second brother scream like a pig, didn’t you?"
"Where are you? At ho? You’re not injured, are you?"
The brothers bombarded her with questions, while Charlotte Thompson felt like she was on pins and needles, licking her sowhat dry lips and forcing a smile.
"Charlotte Thompson, you better explain yourself clearly to ."
Finally, Joshua, who had been silent up to this point, spoke up. The mont he called her by her full na, it sent a thud to Charlotte’s heart.
Obviously, whatever had happened was clear to Charlotte and Joshua, while the other brothers were left in the dark, listening to Joshua’s serious tone.
"Joshua, what’s with you! Why are you being so harsh on Charlotte?"
"Don’t tell it was you who got dumped by a girlfriend instead of our eldest brother?"
"How co you’re starting to spread rumors like Jason now?"
"Right, our eldest brother is dood to be a bachelor for life, how could he possibly have a girlfriend!"
"Stop!"
Joshua raised his hand, halting the increasingly off-topic conversation.
He then, without any hesitation, got straight to the point: "That guy is Justin Battleson, right?"
Charlotte, of course, would not lie, so she obediently nodded her head.
Clearly, Charlotte saw the veins on her second brother’s forehead bulging with tension.
"I actually have sothing I’ve been aning to tell you all..." said Charlotte, touching her nose sowhat guiltily.
Facing her brothers’ deadly stares, she still didn’t know how to begin.
Just then, Justin Battleson, who had been pushed out of the cara fra by Charlotte, took her hand and interlocked their fingers, then very calmly appeared beside her.
"We’re back together," he declared.
Aside from Joshua, who was astonished at Justin’s thick skin, the brothers chose to be silent upon seeing Justin’s sudden appearance.
Seeing the setup behind Charlotte, they knew she was at ho.
However, the fact that Justin could appear at this ti only ant one thing - they had already been living together.
"Justin Battleson, let go of her hand!" Jason was the first to snap back to reality. He also had the worst temper among Charlotte’s seven brothers.
He slamd his hand on the table and then stood up abruptly, almost pressing his entire face against the cara, staring fixedly at the intertwined hands of Justin and Charlotte.
Jason’s shout also snapped the other brothers back to the mont.
They all looked at Justin with clenched teeth.
Rembering how their sister had divorced this man, a surge of anger boiled within them.
At this point, Justin, now the target of everyone’s scorn, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He was also secretly thankful that he and Charlotte were announcing their relationship over a video call.
If this were a face-to-face conversation...
Justin suddenly felt he would owe it to these people to stay in the hospital for at least ten days to half a month.
"Sorry, brothers. It’s my fault for keeping this from you and not telling you about it."
Charlotte looked sowhat guilty as she simply relayed so of the past events to her brothers.
Simultaneously, she also felt so unease in her heart.
After all, it was after the Thompson family had accepted her back that she had divorced Justin. Moreover, the mbers of Thompson family naturally had no fondness for Justin due to certain past events involving him.
