Chapter 162
Originally, it would’ve been fine. Anyway, as long as the man and the woman had no objections, it would be fine if the couple could live their life separately.
Π
However, a bizarre thing happened when the woman was around seven months pregnant. She heard that her sweetheart had come back from abroad, and she suddenly wanted to get a divorce and have an abortion. She was willing to sever ties with her parents and have an abortion to be with her sweetheart.
Debra heard that at that time, the Hoggard family was furious when the woman insisted on aborting her seven–month–old child. Sharon even fell ill and was hospitalized for a month before being discharged.
It was unknown how they dealt with this matter, but the woman did give birth to the child in the end. However, after the child was born, Hayden and the woman went to the Courthouse to arrange for a divorce. When the woman was in postpartum care a month later, the two officially got divorced. From then on, they no longer had any relationship.
After hearing about the divorce, the woman’s parents immediately severed ties with her and kicked her out of the family. Unfortunately, the woman had been infatuated with love and didn’t care at all. She packed up her things, dragged her suitcase, and followed her sweetheart away.
After investigating these things, Debra was fully relieved.
If the Hoggard family really wanted Hayden and Becky to be together, she had no problem with it. She also thought that the two were suitable. However, the condition was that the two must have feelings for each other.
Of course, feelings were ultimately up to fate. So, Debra wanted to let nature take its course and let the two get along with each other at their own pace. The only thing she needed to do was to keep a distance from Becky and not follow Becky every day as before. Otherwise, the two would be embarrassed when getting along with each other while an elder was present.
Stacey was unaware of her mother’s thoughts at this moment. She took a flight for several hours before finally arriving in South City.
As soon as she got off the plane, Lynn was already waiting for her at the airport. Stacey hurried over to her.
“Lynn, called Stacey with a smile.
Lynn reached out to take her suitcase and handed it to the assistant next to her. “Charlie is waiting for you outside,” said Lynn.
“Charlie?” Stacey was surprised.
“Yeah.” Lynn nodded.
They walked quickly, but halfway through, a sharp paparazzi spotted them. “Isn’t that Becky?” shouted the paparazzi while staring at her.
Stacey and Lynn both subconsciously raised their heads to look over, which inadvertently confirmed their identity.
“Run!” said Lynn anxiously.
Stacey was already experienced. She had pulled Lynn to run before the latter even spoke. To put it simply, the two started running almost at the same time. They ran very fast and reached outside not long after.
The minivan was already parked outside and the door was opened in advance. They went over and got into the minivan immediately. The door closed, and the minivan immediately drove away. The process was smooth.
Stacey exhaled gently and looked out of the back window. She could see some paparazzi holding cameras and frantically

taking pictures of the minivan.
It didn’t matter anymore. She quickly turned around and looked aside. She hadn’t seen Charlie for many days. “Charlie” called Stacey happily after sitting down
Charlie chuckled, immediately scooted aside, and said happily, Sit down. I’ve brought lots of delicious food
As he spoke, he reached out and opened the box on the small table in front of him, revealing a large plateful of still- steaming spicy lobsters. The strong fragrance immediately wafted out.
“Did you just buy it?” asked Stacey.
Charlie nodded immediately and said, “Yeah. Isn’t it delicious? Lobster is the best.
Lynn sat speechlessly before saying, “Charlie, your manager didn’t allow you to eat these, right?”
Hearing this, Charlie got nervous and hurriedly said, “You won’t tell her, right?”
Lynn didn’t know what to say. “I’m not a busybody. Still, she did it for your good.”
“What’s going on?” Stacey was confused.
Lynn glanced at Stacey and explained, “Charlie”
Charlie got nervous and immediately interjected, “Ah, Lynn! There’s no need to tell my sister about this, right? I think it’s more enjoyable to eat lobsters together.”
Stacey was even more puzzled.
Lynn remained silent for a moment before finally saying. “Charlie’s been having a stomach problem recently. He gets diarrhea every time he eats lobster. His manager asked me to keep an eye on him and not let him eat lobster.”
Stacey thought for a moment before immediately grabbing the lobster from Charlie’s hand and putting it into her mouth.
Charlie was shocked and looked at his sister in disbelief. “Becky
Stacey casually said, “Charlie, it’s not suitable for you to eat this for now. How about not eating these lobsters today? Peel the lobster for me, okay? I’ll peel the lobster for you when you can eat it later, all right?”
“I just want to eat a little,” said Charlle pitifully.
“You have a show to record later,” Lynn reminded him coldly.
Charlie was speechless. He looked at Lynn and complained, “You guys are so cruel that you won’t let me eat anything. So inhuman.”
Stacey laughed and said, “Charlie, just bear with it for a while. You’ll recover later, and you can eat it then
“But I want to eat it now! Charlie pursed his lips.
Stacey no longer paid attention to him. She peeled the shrimp and ate it herself.
It had been some time since she returned to the Carter family, and she finally understood Charlie. Although he was her elder brother, sometimes he was really childish and cute, like an old child.
The next moment, Charlie gave up and coffed. “Forget it. I won’t eat it. Becky, I’ll peel the lobster for you.”
Stacey smiled and looked at Charlie before saying, “When you get better, I’ll peel it for you then.”

Charlie’s eyes immediately–lightened again. He was excited and said, “Okay, but I get to choose the time, all right?”
Stacey was puzzled. She felt that there was something wrong, so she asked tentatively, “When do you want to choose?”
As Charlie spoke, he had already peeled a lobster for Stacey.
He put the lobster on the small plate in front of Stacey and said with a smile, “Not during a special occasion. It’s like family gatherings. Well, it’s when our family gathers together. Becky, li telling you. You can only peel lobsters for me then and not for them. I want them to be jealous!”
Stacey chuckled and thought that Charlie was quite cute. “Okay. Next time we have a family gathering. I will peel lobsters for you and only you,” said Stacey with a smile. Apart from Charlie, there shouldn’t be any other childish people in the whole family, right?” she thought.
