Female Novel
Chapter 957
But Charlotte herself seemed to disappear and never appeared in front of her again.
Today, when she heard Charlotte say she missed her, she didn’t think it was true.
When Charlotte said she hadn't been able to repay her, she was amused, since there were so many
opportunities for her to repay her and repay the orphanage. Charlotte just never got around to it.
"Let's not mention the past."
Rachel waved her hand.
"Charlotte, I think it’s time for you to present the awards. Just go and get busy, and I'll leave you to it.
I'm done for the night and I'm still trying to get back to Khebury."
"Rachel. You rarely have a chance to get to the Capital. Don't rush off. I still want to invite you to dinner.
I don't care about the awards, and I just want to talk to you for a while."
Charlotte took Rachel's arm affectionately and walked forward.
"Rachel, up ahead is the Capital's famous reservoir with a great night view. Let's walk over and take a
stroll." She dragged Rachel all the way forward.
"But we just moved into a new orphanage and I have a lot of things to do."
Rachel was in a dilemma.
"Gee, it's so late, Rachel. You can't do much even if you go back. Tomorrow morning I will treat you to a
breakfast in the Capital, and then I will send someone to send you back, so you do not delay your
work."
Charlotte said enthusiastically, "Rachel, you have barely come to the Capital. Let me do my best to do
something for you."
"This is ..."
Rachel hesitated for a moment, but how could she turn down such a kind offer.
Forget it. Maybe she was just overthinking it. Maybe Charlotte did miss her in her heart, and she was
afraid of having old stories brought up just because she was now in an honorable position.
Perhaps for this reason, over the years she had never come back to visit them.
They eventually made their way to the reservoir.
The venue for the charity party was located next to the largest reservoir in the Capital, but unfortunately
there were no stars and no moon tonight, so the water was dark.
The wide surface of the water now looked like instead a black hole. However, it was actually also quite
spectacular.
Charlotte took Rachel by the arm and walked on the bridge that reached into the middle of the
reservoir. She sighed, "Strange, why are the landscape lights not on tonight? Usually the night view is
beautiful. What a buzzkill."novelbin
"It's okay. The view doesn’t really matter. I am already very happy that you are thinking of us. The
orphanage has been supported by some good people these past few years and now it looks completely
different."
Rachel looked delighted.
"By the way, I heard you say that the orphanage just moved?" Charlotte asked.
"Oh yes, the new site for the orphanage was funded by Mr. Warner."
Rachel nodded her head.
"No wonder, I saw you talking to Mr. Warner in the back garden.
So that's what you guys were talking about."
Charlotte tried.
"No really. It has been a year since Mr. Warner funded the construction of a new orphanage. I
approached Mr. Warner and just handed him something he might want."
Rachel said.
Charlotte saw Rachel handing Luther something, and she's curious to know what it was.
"Rachel, don't be ridiculous. Mr. Warner is rich, and he wants nothing. I just can't imagine what he
would want."
Charlotte said these words on purpose.
"Hey, Mr. Warner certainly would never ask for anything that could be bought with money. What I gave
him was a pendant that Joyce used to wear as a child, since Joyce has passed away. All these years,
Mr. Warner could never come out from the shadow of the past, and I just kind of wanted to leave him a
little spiritual solace." Rachel sighed.
Charlotte froze.
A pendant of Joyce?
Could it be a token that could prove her identity?
