1/4
Charlotte was hungry. After finishing dinner, she settled at the table to cal.
Arthur pulled out a chair across from her, glancing over the simple spread of dishes. His mind drifted
momentarily.
In the past, she had gone out of her way to perfect meals just for him, eagerly watching for his reaction.
But now, it was clear Charlotte didn’t care whether he liked her cooking or not.
The atmosphere at the table was thick with silence, broken only by the occasional clink of forks against plates.
With so much on her mind, Charlotte hardly touched her food. After a few bites, she set her fork down and picked
up her phone to check for messages.
Arthur watched her and finally spoke up, “I can have those trending topics taken down.”
“No need,” Charlotte replied, not bothering to look up.
Taking down the trending topics would only make her seem guilty. She preferred to let her actions speak for
themselves.
Arthur frowned, concern creeping into his voice. “If those topics

stay up, you could attract the wrong kind of attention. You're putting yourself in danger.”
Finally, Charlotte met his gaze, her expression calm.
“Then arrange for a few bodyguards to keepsafe.”
“I'll get you the protection you need, and I'll handle the online situation, too,” he assured her.
It was strange.
Tonight, there was no biting sarcasm or sharp retorts between them.
The atmosphere felt oddly harmonious, yet an invisible chasm lingered between them, deep and
insurmountable.
“Thanks,” Charlotte said, standing up and heading toward the bedroom.
After a couple of steps, she turned back and added, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
Arthur's mood soured instantly.
He stared at her, his expression darkening. “You're really going to kickout this late?”
Charlotte shrugged. “You didn’t drink, so you can drive. What, you wantto give you a ride home?”

Her nonchalant attitude about him leaving irked him.
Arthur mused, “Doesn’t she remember we are married?
We haven't been apart for five years except for my occasional business trips!”
Regret washed over him for having allowed her memories to
return.

The distance between them seemed to have widened even more.
He recalled Gideon's words, if she remembered everything and still wanted a divorce, what would he do?
Arthur had said, “Then let her go.”
But now, with the future looming ahead, a sense of unease gripped him.
Arthur stood up abruptly, striding toward the door.
He could feel her words hanging in the air, threatening to cut deeper if he lingered.

The door slammed shut behind him.
Charlotte turned away, shaking off the tension, and headed straight for the shower. As she stepped out, her
phone buzzed with Diana's call.
“Hello, Diana,” she answered, her tone brightening.

“Great!” Charlotte felt a rush of excitement. With evidence in hand, she could finally stand her ground.

discovered another surveillance camera that caught the face of the person who drugged.”
Charlotte's breath hitched, anxiety creeping in. “Can you find out who it is?”
“It was impossible before, but now we can. I've sent you the details. The person isn’t currently in the country,
though.”
