Charlotte scoffed, not caring at all, “Back when I was being ndered, I didn’t see him this eager.”
Cynthia looked awkward.
“Just a little girl, no need for Mr. Hamilton to make such a fuss, just teach her a lesson and that’s
it.” Charlotte was about to leave when Cynthia asked, “Mr. Hamilton asked me to check what you want for dinner tonight?”
Charlotte paused for a second, kept a straight face, and said, “Takeout.”
Jaxson had someone take down the trending topic, cleared up the rumors, and soon got a message from Cynthia.
He was ready to book the best restaurant, but the words “takeout” stung his eyes.
Even though he knew Charlotte living under the same roof with him was just a temporary promise,” and he tried his best to make it up to her, during these days together, she was like a hedgehog. No matter what he did, she was always on guard against him.
But he couldn’t me anyone.
After all, he deserved it.
And right then, he got a photo from a strange number.
The photo was taken in the hospital hallway, it was Nigel and Charlotte.
Nigel leaned in toward her a bit. From this angle, both of them were dressed in white, looking at each other. The vibe wasn’t really flirty, but they looked perfect together, like a match made in
heaven.
Jaxson’s face suddenly darkened.
Back then, Reynald didn’t care. Right now, for the first time, he felt it was so annoying to see another man standing next to her.
At 7 p.m., Charlotte went back to Verde Apartments to get her textbooks. In the past couple of days, Prof. Hawkins‘ team was about to arrive in Pornd, so she also made sure to get ready for her talk early.
She carried her bag downstairs and just happened to run into Nigeling back outside the building.
Seeing the takeout in Nigel’s hand, I wondered, “Prof. Kendall eats takeout too?”
Wasn’t he a neat freak?
“Not ordering takeout, so you cooked for me?”

Charlotte choked, “Is Prof. Kendall joking?”
He was all serious, “You ask, I answer, how is that joking?”

Is this the logic of a genius?
Nigel’s phone rang. He picked it looked at it, didn’t answer, and put it away
expression.

Charlotte thought he wasn’t able to answer the phone, smiled, and said, “Then I won’t bother
I’ll go first.”
you.
Nigel didn’t stop it.
After Charlotte walked away, he nced at the missed call. It was Reynald.
After I called back, the other person asked, “Nigel, <i>why </i>didn’t
you answer my call?<b>” </b>
“Something came up just now, I didn’t hear it, what happened?”
Reynald sat in the car, looking outside for a long time, and his eyes happened to be diagonally across from Nigel. After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Let’s grab a drink tonight. It’s been a while since we talked.”
Nigel went “Mm,” and said, “Send me your address.”
The other side.
Charlotte got back to Brocade Retreat and walked into the living room. She saw Cynthiaing out of the study. “Mrs. Hamilton, you’re back sote?”
“Something came up.”
She went past Cynthia.
Cynthia was just about to say something when a tall figure appeared right in the study doorway.
Jaxson lit a cigarette. These past few days, he hardly smoked.
He frowned, calmed down for a second, aimed at the ceiling and slowly blew out a puff of smoke, “You went back to Verde Apartments?”
Charlotte’s eyes stayed on his face, not moving. “Went back to get something, what’s wrong?”
He stayed silent, his jaw clenched like he was grinding his teeth, and he stared at her with a dark, deep look.
Charlotte had a bad feeling and looked back at Cynthia, but found that Cynthia was already gone.
She instinctively stepped back, and this move hurt him to the core.
His whole figure was sunk in the darkest corner, showing no emotion, “Charlotte, you tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?”

She stopped, clenched her hands, “You don’t have to do anything, there was no way back for us.”
After she finished talking, she took a deep breath and walked past him.
She didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but when she passed by him, in the light and shadow, she saw him at his lowest and saddest, like he was about to fall apart the next second.
Charlotte bit her lower lip and quickly looked away.
Did he feel heartache too?
Too bad, this bit of pain wasn’t enough!
After the door closed, Jaxson even forgot about the cigarette between his fingers. The cigarette burned out, and the cold ash fell onto the back of his hand, but he still forgot to react.
