Chapter 734

Chapter 734Timothy's face fell, and his smile vanished instantly.
Charlotte had never seen Timothy this floored. “I'm sorry. I'll stop teasing you,” she said immediately.
“What about you tell them you want to remarry Johanna?”
Timothy glanced at her. “And let Mr. Benson harass Johanna and my daughter? You should call your
boyfriend here now.”
“He's filming in Petalgrove now.”
“Fine. I'll play it by ear then,” Timothy snapped, walking right into the ward toward Jeremiah and Jiminy.
From the smile on their faces, it seemed like they were having a good time talking to one another.
“Dad. Mr. Benson,” he greeted.
“Tim!” Jiminy smiled at him. “Look at you, young man. You must be really tired. Your dark circles are so
deep!”
“I'm good, Mr. Benson,” Timothy replied, getting a cup of water from the water dispenser.
Charlotte also came in and greeted the two men before going over to Timothy. Then, she took the cup
of warm water he had filled up from him.
Jiminy felt glad watching their intimate interaction. “Lottie is the most mischievous among all my kids. I
used to worry that no one would want to marry her, but it seems like I've worried unnecessarily. Tim hasonly taken over Forlisle Medical for a while, and now everything is going phenomenally in the company.
He's capable and treats Lottie well. I feel comforted knowing she's in good hands.”
Charlotte choked on the water upon hearing her father's words.
“I was just talking to Jeremiah about the wedding. I'm giving Lottie a few houses and cars when both of
you get married. I'll also be giving two billion in cash for her dowry,” Jiminy said to Timothy.
Charlotte's face twitched. Wow, Dad. You're staking too much just to marry me off.
“Mr. Benson, I've just taken over the company and am really occupied. I don't have time to think about
anything else other than work now. Besides, Lottie is young and beautiful. A lot of men would love to
have her hand in marriage. You don't have to worry about her not finding a suitable candidate.”
Jiminy begged to differ, but before he could say another word, Timothy beat him to it.
“Mr. Benson, I've known Lottie for years. If she really gets married one day, I'll give her my sincerest
blessings. I'll even give her a huge congratulatory gift during her wedding.”
Jiminy knew what Timothy was trying to say and looked disappointed.
Given how successful Timothy was, he could easily find a wife from the ladies among other
distinguished families. It made sense that he did not have eyes for someone imperfect like Charlotte,
so after talking to Jeremiah for a while, Jiminy left with Charlotte.
Jeremiah had just recovered from his sickness. The ordeal had taken a toll on him, and he looked
much older lying on the bed. There was no color on his good-looking face. “I heard from Jiminy that you and Lottie were getting along really well. You even took time to eat with
her and go shopping together, so why did you turn down the wedding just now?” Jeremiah asked,
taking the orange Timothy gave him.
“I owed her a favor, so I had to return it when she asked for help. Since I don't have any feelings for
her, I won't marry her,” Timothy said clinically.
“Then who do you want to marry?”
Timothy lowered his gaze. “Your granddaughter is not even three-months-old. I want to see her grow
up and love her like a father.”
Timothy did not want Asel to suffer the same fate as Lucian and Amanda.
“You should bring her here one day. I've never seen her before,” Jeremiah answered.
“That baby is about to be born in a few months,” Timothy said with implied meaning.
