Chapter 39 Needing Comfort
Under her hazy gaze, Charlotte looked at his cold, stern face. His eyes, darkened with desire, held no warmth as
they
locked onto hers. His words felt like a
sharp blade, stabbing mercilessly into her heart.
She had once adored his eyes.
Every the looked at her, she believed he loved her deeply. But now, all of that seemed like a cruel joke.
Without thinking, she raised her hand to slap him across the face.
Arthur, however, easily caught her wrist. He pushed her aside with a swift motion,

The desire in Arthur's eyes only deepened as he leaned in to kiss her.

Charlotte cast him a complex, unreadable
look before turning back into the kitchen.
When she returned, she had prepared
a lavish meal. She set it all on the table
before turning to leave.
“You...”
Julius’ voice trembled as he called her, but the words caught in his throat.
She turned back, her expression steady. “If you think it's forced, don’t call me. | don’t even remember having a
son.”
Julius stood frozen, his gaze locked on her. He said nothing, but tears shimmered in his eyes.
