Chapter 511
There was tension in Charlotte’s head as her body froze and became rigid.
Her well-endowed but petite stature snuggled within Joseph’s chest. Her eyes reflected her fear with a furrowed
brow. She could hear her own heartbeat as she battled her nerves. His tee-shirt was soaked by beads of sweat that
rolled down her long eyelashes. They fluttered and brushed against Joseph’s like wipers on a car.
Unable to differentiate fear from nervousness, her breath became hot and heavy.
Joseph’s heartbeat quickened, and his lower abdomen started to swell with adrenalin.
In front of him was a clueless Lochlan who stood there motionlessly.
An impetuous Joseph stared at Lochlan, and he felt a sense of unwarranted frustration towards him. “My sister? Is
there something I should know?”
“I would like to see you, if that’s alright with you? I... she looks like someone I knew in the past.” Lochlan could not
sense the exasperation within Joseph’s voice. His thoughts and attention were all on Charlotte.
Charlotte wrapped her tiny arms around Joseph’s waist instinctively. Her hands groped his well-defined abs, which

Chiseled and packed tightly, just like a chocolate bar.
She acted on impulse, and before she knew it, she had thrown herself into Joseph’s arms and caught him by
surprise.
It felt like his heart leapt out his chest.
Damn it!
What is with this surge of adrenalin?
Have I been without the warm embrace of a woman far too long?
He was baffled and astonished at how such a petite little lady had stirred up his emotions. His testosterones were
off the charts, and it drove him crazy.
Her soft hands gently caressed his abdominal muscles as they glided over them like water over ice cubes.
Those tiny fingers were soft and plump like cotton candy oozing with sweet goodness.
Charlotte was not aware of the provocative signals she sent out, which made the situationmuch more dangerous.
Lochlan noticed Joseph’s hesitation and asked again, “May I see her?”
Exasperated, Joseph shot him a dirty look. “Sorry Mr. Lochlan, but no. What do you take my sister for? She’s not at
your beck and call.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, he lifted Charlotte in his arms and made his way towards his car.
“Oh my!”
Startled, Charlotte swung her pair of tiny hands around Joseph’s neck and brushed across his Adam’s apple.
It was a sensitive spot for Joseph, and that little interaction made him squirm in discomfort as he bit into his teeth.
His knee-jerk reaction was to toss her aside.
Damn it!
He took a deep breath and quickened his pace towards the car. Once there, he opened the door and nestled her in
the front passenger seat.
However, he received an unexpected response. “I want to drive,” she said in a squeamish, high-pitched voice.
That remark jolted his memory. He had a pint of beer as he thought.
“You know how to drive?” he asked.
“Yes,” Charlotte nodded her head in response. She swopped seats with Joseph and drove the car steadily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia frowned with displeasure as she looked towards Lochlan. With a disgruntled voice, she said, “Mr. Lochlan, we
are out on a date together, yet you could not keep your eyes off her. What is the meaning of this?”
She was infuriated.
With some help from Mrs. Fraser, she had went through hoops to get this date with Lochlan.
To her horror, the date turned out to be a disaster. He was as dull as a dishwasher, and he even humiliated her in
front of everyone.
Will chipped in aloofly as he perched his lips, “Is my sister not good enough for you, Mr. Lochlan?”
Lochlan was unable to let go as he continued to ponder about Charlotte. He was desperate to know if the woman in
Joseph’s arms was indeed Charlotte.
He ignored Olivia’s protest and continued to question him. “About the woman who is with Mr. Joseph-- does she
have big wide eyes and an oval-shaped face? With silky smooth skin that is as white as snow?”
Will stared down at Lochlan as if he had gone mad. “Are you insane? Silky smooth skin? Let me tell you. She is as
ugly as a toad, and her face is scarred, filled with potholes. I am baffled as to why Mr. Joseph would treat such a
hideous woman like a gem.”
“Does she really look that bad?” asked Lochlan as he looked towards Will with doubt in his eyes.
