The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Charlotte sighed in mock defeat and reached up to ruffle his hair, like she was soothing a moody child. Her tone was warm and teasing.

“Alright, alright. But planning and shopping’s only fun if we do it together. Besides, it’s Saturday. Don’t you give your assistant weekends off?”

Sean mumbled a vague “mm–hmm,” still trailing kisses along her skin.

This was going to get out of hand fast.

Charlotte quickly pushed him back.

“Okay–pause. I’ve pretty much finished planning. Let’s go out and get what we need.”

Sean looked up at her then, eyes locking with hers–wearing an unmistakably hurt expression.

Charlotte blinked in surprise.

Wait a second… was she seeing things?

Did she really just catch a flicker of hurt feelings in Sean Jasper’s eyes?

All she did was push him away a few times and now he looked genuinely upset?

No way. She had to be imagining it.

Someone like Sean Jasper didn’t do hurt puppy eyes. Did he?

That aftemoon, the two of them hit an outdoor gear store to pick up hiking essentials, then swung by the grocery store to stock up on snacks and fruit.

Charlotte was clearly in high spirits, wanting to grab a little of everything she liked.

Sean didn’t stop her.

–

If the bag got heavier tomorrow, he would carry it. If he got tired, so be it as long as Charlotte was happy.

She snapped a quick photo of their haul and sent it to her group chat with Lena and Mia.

Charlotte: “Babes, meteor shower tomorrow night! Let’s hike up to North Ridge and watch it together. I’ve already got everything prepped!”

Mia: “OMG! A meteor shower? I’m so in!”

Lena: “Count me in.”

Mia: “Dragging lan to get me some hiking gear later! I want black–gotta nail that viral hiking pose. Oh, and I’m filming a glow–up reel. Pajamas for the before, hiking gear for the after. You guys better help me get the shot!”

Charlotte: “On it. Pro–level photographer reporting in.”

Lena: “Let me check if my brother’s coming too.”

Charlotte: “Meet at 1 p.m. tomorrow–downstairs at my place.”

Lena: “Got it.”

Mia: “Say less. I’m ready!”

The next afternoon at one on the dot, Sean knocked on Charlotte’s apartment door.

She opened it with a bright smile, her bare face fresh and beautiful.

“Hey, Sean.”

She was already dressed in a light blue hiking outfit, a matching backpack slung over her shoulders.

Sean wore a black, high–collar windbreaker. The color suited him perfectly–cool and understated. It made his sharp features seem even more chiseled and aloot.

Without a word, he took her backpack off her shoulders and carried it himself.

“Let’s go. Everyone’s downstairs.”

“Everyone’s here already?”

“Jordan, lan, Lena, and Mia are waiting,” Sean said, “Vivian said she left earlier with a few friends. They’re already up at the campsite.”

Charlotte followed him into the elevator and gave a soft “oh” in response.
