<b>Chapter </b>381
Charlotte <b>crossed </b><b>over </b><b>Jaxson’s </b><b>car </b>and <b>went </b>to Penelope’s car. Penelope stuck her <b>head </b>out and said, “Why <b>are </b><b>you </b>in <b>the </b>nursing home<b>?</b><b>” </b>
“My <b>brother </b><b>is </b>in.”
Penelope wanted to <b>say </b>something, <b>her </b>eyesnded <b>on </b><b>the </b><b>car </b>parked across the <b>street</b>, and <b>she </b><b>saw </b><b>the </b><b>man </b>getting <b>out </b>of the car.
She <b>was </b>taken aback, vaguely feeling that the man’s figure was familiar.
<b>Soon</b>, she seemed to remember that she had seen him from a distance in the crowd <b>of </b>guests she
<b>had </b>entertained at home.
After <b>all</b><b>, </b>among all kinds of people, he stood out the most, it’s hard not to leave a deep impression.
Jaxson stopped by Charlotte’s side, put his arm around her waist, “New friend?”
Penelope paused, looking <i>at </i>Charlotte.
Charlotte chuckled, “Yeah, she was my first friend I made in Pornd.” With that, she pulled <i>away </i>from him and faced him, “I’m going the same <i>way </i>as my friend, so Mr. Hamilton doesn’t need to apany me.”
Jaxson stared at her, not angry but smiling, “As long as you’re happy.”
Charlotte opened the door and got in the car.
Jaxson watched the shadow of the car fading away, his face calm and dim.
On the way, Penelope nced <i>at </i>the person in the passenger seat and couldn’t help but ask, “Is he <b>your</b>…”
“Ex–husband–to–be.”
“So handsome<b>, </b><b>are </b>you willing to get a divorce?” Penelope was puzzled.
Charlotte looked out of the car window and gave a bitter smile, “What’s the use of being handsome? He <b>has </b>someone else in his heart, and we’re not a good match.”
<b>“</b><b>Is </b><b>there </b>someone <b>else </b>in your heart?” Penelope clicked her tongue, “Then we should
<b>divorce</b><b>!</b><b>” </b>
<b>Charlotte </b><b>smiled </b><b>and </b><b>said </b>nothing.

In the following <b>days</b>, Charlotte stayed in the Brocade Retreat suite, and Jaxson also kept his promise, not touching <b>her</b><b>. </b>
Charlotte spent most <b>of </b><b>her </b><b>time </b><b>in </b><b>her </b>own room <b>or </b>Charlie’s room, except for going to and <b>from </b>work. <b>She </b><b>only </b><b>faced </b>Jaxson during <b>meal </b><b>times</b>.

In the caregiver’s <b>eyes</b>, <b>she </b><b>was </b><b>Jaxson’s </b>wife<b>, </b>even the top <b>executives </b><b>at </b><b>Brocade </b>Retreat called her ‘Mrs. <b>Hamilton</b>” in private.
But she no longer <b>felt </b><b>the </b><b>same </b>joy in calling her “Mrs. Hamilton.”
<b>Neb </b>Techunched the Al medication project for market testing, inviting Jaxson and <b>her </b>“Mrs. <b>Hamilton</b>” to the banquet.
<b>It’s </b>funny, they hid their rtionship for six <b>years</b>, no one in Boston knew, but half <b>of </b><b>Pornd’s </b>circle knew <b>all </b>about it.
Charlotte wore a ck one–shoulder evening gown, with a pearl ne, but no earrings. Her makeup was simple and elegant.
Jaxson led her to the big shots gathered in Pornd, and Mr. Levin saw Charlotte for the first time. He put down his drink and eximed, “Mr. Hamilton, is this Mrs. Hamilton?”
He nodded and said, “yes.”
‘Did Mr. Hamilton get married?”
“They got married and we didn’t hear anything about it.”
“Something strange, Mr. Hamilton is actually married!”
Charlotte listened to the faint sounds around her, a cold smirk ying on her lips. They were in a hidden marriage, would he dare let anyone know?
“You know what<i>, </i>Mrs. Hamilton didn’t seem to be wearing her wedding ring…”
A few women’s eyes sharplynded on Charlotte’s bare fingers, then they nced at the wedding ring on Jaxson’s ring finger. The observant ones probably noticed something.
Jaxson slowly sipped his drink, and it seemed like he heard those voices, his eyes slightly chilled.
He

didn’t like the original wedding ring, so let’s go get another one.”

Charlotte tilted her head <i>away </i>from him, “Suit yourself.”
Jaxson’s smile gradually faded, still enduring her indifference.
However, <b>in </b>the eyes of everyone, the “intimate” actions of the two looked just like a loving couple.
At this point, <b>a </b><bdy </b>smiled and broke the ice, “So Mrs. Hamilton doesn’t like this style of wedding ring, huh? No problem, I know a boss who specializes in custom–made wedding rings. My flower halo diamond ring was made by him.”
Jaxson looked at <b>her</b>, “Thanks for introducing me.‘
“What’s the <b>harm </b>in being polite! Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Hamilton are still young, so they should enjoy two <b>years </b>of just the two of them before having children!”

“Thanks for your kind words.”
Charlotte slowly raised her ss, took a sip, and coldly said, “Having children is out of the question for me. I can’t have any, and there’s already someone else’s in the family.”
One sentence, making the atmosphere awkward, people around felt something was off and looked at Jaxson.
Jaxson looked at her inexplicably, his hand gripping the cup handle with visible veins popping
out.
