Chapter394:
Penelope thought he had heard their conversation, looked super awkward, and made up an excuse to get away.
Nigel crossed his arms and leaned against the door. “How did it feel?”
“Much better.”
Charlotte looked at him and asked again, “I heard you were the one who brought me to the hospital?”
“Or what?” Nigel walked to the window and pulled open the curtains. “In this situation, if I didn’t bring you to the hospital, should I have taken you
home?”
Charlotte didn’t say anything.
She didn’t expect Reynald would treat her like that.
Knock her out with drugs in secret, then what?
Would it be the way she thought?
Nigel seemed to guess her confusion, leaning lightly by the window, “The doctors in the department told me he bought midazm for severe insomnia. You know this kind of drug has a hypnotic and calming effect. If you crush it into powder and eat it, it works even better.”
“I knew him. He was the kind <b>of </b>person who wouldn’t even take medicine for a cold. How could he have specifically asked for strong meds just because of insomnia?”
Charlotte’s eyelids twitched, “Thanks for what you did today.”
“Don’t rush to thank me.”
Nigel looked down at his watch, “You still owed me a meal.”
She paused, “So I treat tonight?”
“I’ll talk about it when I have time.”

Charlotte got back to Brocade Retreat at 8 p.m.
She pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom. She suddenly froze. Jaxson was sitting by the curtain on the sofa, turning a piece of stiff paper over and over in his hand. His whole face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression was hard to read.
Charlotte frowned, “What are you doing in my room?”
“I was waiting for you.”

She looked
away, “Wait for me to do what?”

Jaxson leaned back in his chair, face as cold as ever, “Nothing happened today?”
Maybe it was because there was still some medicine left in her system, she was already so tired that she didn’t want to argue with him anymore, so she just said, “No.”
“Are you sure there wasn’t any?”
“Jaxson, I was really tired. Couldn’t you just tell me tomorrow?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man threw out a photo.
The photonded right at her feet.
She picked it up, it was the scene of Nigel carrying her away.
But she was already unconscious at that time.
Charlotte’s hand shook and she crumpled the corner of the photo. She looked up at him, took a deep breath, and said, “You had someone follow me?”
“What’s up,
did I bother you and Nigel?”

Jaxson stopped in front of her, his palm pressed to her cheek, making her move closer to him, “Charlotte, we haven’t divorced yet.”
Charlotte caught the meaning in his words, her eyes turned red, and she brushed his hand away, “You had people follow me, didn’t you know what was going on!”
He didn’t
get moved.
Charlotte smashed the photo in his face, pointed at the door, and yelled, “Get out-
The next second, he grabbed her head with both hands and kissed her hard.
No matter how much she struggled and resisted, Jaxson never let go.
She was pushed back by him step by step until she was up against the wall. Even her shoe fell off, and she had to stand on tiptoe with one foot.
Jaxson yanked off his tie, tied up her hands, buried his face in her neck, left his mark on her, and said, “You can only belong to me.”
Charlotte struggled until she was exhausted, and in the end, she just let him have his way.
She bit her lip, with a low, whimpering cry. The cold air from the bedroom AC and a thin, helpless woman really hit a man right in the heart.
She didn’t know how much time had passed. She curled up in his arms, feeling tired and numb.
Jaxson washed her off, carried her out of the bathroom, and only left her a nket to wrap herself in.
He called Cynthia over and took all her clothes, including her phone.

Charlotte finally reacted at this moment, “You took my clothes, what am I supposed to wear-”
“This is pretty good.” Jaxson’s palm brushed over her cheek, rubbing that bright beauty mark by her eye. “Starting tomorrow, you just stay here, you don’t need to go anywhere.”
“Jaxson!” Charlotte grabbed his cor, shaking. “You broke
“Charlotte.”
your promise!”
He stared at her and said softly, “I won’t interfere as long as you behave.”
Her breath caught, and her face turned pale.
Jaxson fixed her hair and said, “No matter how you treat me,
I can put up
with it, but if you
choose another man, I won’t allow it.”
He pulled away and left.
Charlotte hurried to grab him, “Jaxson, I still had to go to the hospital tomorrow, you couldn’t do this to me-”
He brushed her hand away, “Whether you take leave or quit, I’ll find a reason for you.”
Charlotte froze, couldn’t believe it.
Jaxson had just left when Cynthia came in right after.
She didn’t keep any of her clothes, and even her phone was taken away.
The moment the door closed, trapped in the darkness, Charlotte didn’t cry or make a fuss. She just slowly leaned against the headboard and stared nkly at the dazzling night view outside the
window.

Charlotte was “locked up” in her bedroom for two days, and she didn’t touch the food the nurse and Cynthia brought in.
Cynthia went to the hallway and called Jaxson, “Mr. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton hasn’t eaten anything for two days. If this keeps going, people will go crazy.”
Jaxson smoked in silence, the mist swallowing up his deep, unreadable eyes and brows.
Before Cynthia could say anything else, he hung up.
Because at that point the restaurant manager had already put the full surveince video in front of him, “Mr. Hamilton, this is what happened that day. Mr. Steward booked the whole ce to meet this girl, but we don’t know what happened. When this woman was carried out, she was
unconscious.”
“The waiter said they heard a lot of noise in the private room back then, andter when Mr. Steward came out, he had some injuries on his face, so it seemed like the two of them had a fight.”

Jaxson didn’t hear a single word the restaurant manager said after that.
After I finished this cigarette, I lit up a second one.
He didn’t say anything, suddenly remembered what she said that night.
“You had someone follow me, didn’t you know what was going on!”

Jaxson irritably stubbed out his half–smoked cigarette in the ashtray and signaled the bodyguard for his payment.
Got and left right away.

When Jaxson rushed back, the nurse brought out the porridge she hadn’t touched again.
“Mr. Hamilton…”
“Give it to me.”
He took the bowl of porridge from the nurse and walked into the bedroom.
Charlotte sat curled up on the bed, wrapped in a nket, staring out the window. She felt terribly
low.
Jaxson sat down next to her and was just about to feed her some porridge, but she pushed him away hard.
The porridge fell on the ground and spilled everywhere.
“When was Mr. Hamilton going to keep me locked up until? Was he waiting for me to die and then clean up my body?”
His deep, silent fell
gaze on her face.
Her hatred for him got even deeper.
But…
Since it was already wrong, just keep being wrong.
“I won’t let you die.” He wiped the porridge off the back of his hand, “I’ll have the nurse set you up with a nutrient drip and keep it going until you’re willing to eat.”
She gave a dryugh, tears rolling down her cheeks, “Jaxson, this was the first time I realized you were so despicable. I really regretted it.”
Regretted loving him…
His chest rose and fell sharply, his heartbeat sounded muffled like it was stuffed with wet cotton. “Regret what?”
“Nothing.”
Charlotte slowly got up.

The nket slipped off her, and she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.

She just stood in front of him like that, shamelessly, “Don’t you like this body of mine? After all, this is the only thing you’re obsessed with, isn’t it?”
Charlotte quietly took off his suit, her hand was about to slip into his shirt, but he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, then wrapped her from head to toe in the nket.
