NovelEnglishChapter 40 | Need a Drink
Looking at Julius like this, Charlotte couldn't help but laugh.
She had once poured her heart out to them, but they'd never cared.
Now that she had made up her mind to leave, suddenly, they all wanted her back.
But life wasn’t full of second chances, and regret didn’t work like that.
With a cold glance, Charlotte turned and walked away.
Tears welled up in Julius’ eyes as he took a few steps forward. “Mom...”
He thought to himself, “I'm sick, and she
still won't comfort me?
Grandma says her memory loss is fake, so is she pretending not to care about me?
Does she really not wantanymore?”
Julius felt so sad. He hadn’t done anything wrong, and yet his mother was treating him like this.
Charlotte's heart ached, but she didn’t stop. She simply got into her car and drove off.

Once in the car, she called Evie.
“Honey, | need a drink.”
Evie, always upbeat, responded immediately, “Cover! I've got tons of alcohol here, and we can drink all
night.
I'll call Diana, and we'll have a blast!”
“Sounds perfect.”
At Night Club.
Evie, the owner, had booked the most luxurious VIP room. When Charlotte walked in, the table was already
covered with an impressive array of drinks.
Evie practically jumped on her. “My darling, I've missed you so much! I've been flying all over for work, and
you've been wrapped up in your husband and son, huh? Did they put a spell on you or something?”
She teased, reaching out to mess with
Charlotte's hair.
Charlotte let her, her heart warming.

Chapter 40 | Need a Drink
She had spent five years neglecting
4/7
herself, but now, returning to a world with good friends still around, she felt so lucky.
“Alright, enough with the . Let's drink!”
Diana, cool and composed as ever, cut in. Her icy beauty never seemed to change as she opened a bottle of
liquor.
Evie pulled Charlotte to sit and asked, “So, you're really done with that scumbag, huh? You're not going back to
him?”
“Yep.” Charlotte nodded firmly. “I'm done with him.”
Evie grinned and clapped her hands. “That's the spirit! Honestly, I've been wanting to tell you. Arthur is trash.
He's
got someone else! Years ago, there was this woman, and because of her career, she had to go abroad. But
Arthur stayed behind to take over the family business. And guess what? He got drugged, and you, poor thing,
got caught up in it. You two rushed into a marriage, but he already had someone in his heart. He won't love you.
He can’t love you.”
Charlotte's grip on her glass tightened. “You... you knew?”

Evie sighed, “I found out by accident, but by then, it was too late. You had a kid, and
your whole world revolved around Arthur. What could | say? | was hoping maybe he'd fall for you. But clearly,
that didn’t happen.”
She squeezed Charlotte's hand. “So, what made you decide now? It feels so sudden.”
Charlotte gave a bitter smile. “If you'd toldsooner, | might've figured it out faster. | saw a photo of him with
Sarah, and that’s when | knew | had to let him go.”
Evie froze, guilt washing over her.
“I'm so sorry. | should've told you sooner. To make it up to you, drink as much as you want!” After saying that,
Eive wanted to drink all the wine in her cup.
Charlotte quickly reassured her, “Don’t be like that. I'm not angry at you. He's in love with someone else, and |
would've figured it out eventually. Honestly, | don’t care anymore.”
“If you don’t care, then why are your eyes so red?” Diana asked directly.
Charlotte froze, but she didn’t answer. Instead, she just took a long sip of her drink.
Evie didn’t hesitate and poured another drink for her, keeping up the pace until Charlotte's face was flushed with
the
effects of the alcohol.
Just then, the door swung open, and a familiar face appeared. It was Barrett, smiling mischievously.
