The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 374

Lionel watched the two of them from the shadows, seething as he saw Justin and “Raina” chatting and laughing together. His jaw clenched with frustration.

“One day, I’ll take back the Olson family. Mark my words.”

His unwilling gaze drifted to Rebecca, and something dark flashed in his eyes.

“And Raina... She’s just a woman. Sooner or later, she’ll be mine too. I’d like to see what it’s like to take Dylan’s woman for myself.”

…

Rebecca left work early that day. The four kids had gotten in touch with Samuel, eager to make good on their promise after losing the fishing contest—they had agreed to accompany Uncle Samuel to the boxing gym.

She couldn’t quite figure out why the kids were so enthusiastic. Did they really enjoy getting knocked around by Uncle Samuel that much?

But seeing how excited they were, she had no choice but to head home early and take them.

On the way back, she texted Joyce to let her know about the trip to the gym.

Joyce didn’t hesitate for a second—her reply came instantly: “See you in an hour.”

Rebecca sent back, “Great, see you then.”

As soon as she got home, Ethan appeared with that pretty dress from last time, insisting she wear it to the boxing gym.

His little face was full of anticipation, eyes sparkling with excitement.

Rebecca eyed him suspiciously. “Ethan, do you really want Mommy to wear this dress so badly?”

She honestly couldn’t understand his obsession with this particular outfit.

Ethan pouted. “Of course! You look beautiful in it. I just want to see my mommy looking pretty.”

With an opportunity like this, of course they had to bring Mommy along.

The four kids had plotted it all out: make sure Mommy looked stunning—so Dad wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off her.

When Rebecca came downstairs, the four kids lit up the moment they saw her.

She wore a designer dress: luxury, backless, both daring and elegant, with the delicate lines of her shoulder blades just barely visible, her fair skin flawless and smooth.

The fitted skirt hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her figure and radiating both grace and femininity.

The blush-pink color was soft and youthful, with a few delicate floral appliqués at the neckline adding a playful touch.

Rebecca paired it with silver stilettos and a dainty crossbody purse, the very picture of an heiress ready to turn heads.
