Chapter 470

After spending a quiet moment together in the room, Megan’s call came through.

Sean glanced at Charlotte’s phone and said coldly, “Ignore it.”

Charlotte reminded him, “We’re here for her birthday party.”

Then she answered the call.

Megan’s voice sounded completely cheerful, with no hint of displeasure. “Lottie, don’t stay cooped up in the room! Come out and have some fun. I invited Lena and Mia too. I just saw them board the cruise.”

“Got it. We’re on our way.”

“Thanks,” she said, a little breathless.

“Don’t mention it,” came a warm, gentle voice.

It sounded familiar.

Charlotte froze for a moment, then turned her head.

It was Scott.

“What’s he doing here?” Charlotte wondered.

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Scott smiled and explained, “Miss Stone invited me.”

Charlotte gave a small nod.
