Seeing this, Charlotte raised an eyebrow, puzzled. “Mr. Caldwell, aren't you going home?”
Jayce replied, “I haven't been to your place yet.”
She thought, “Uh... does he really just want to visit my home?
That doesn’t seem likely.”
Still, it was hard to refuse him, especially after he had stood up for her not long ago.
Charlotte forced a smile and said, “Isn't it a bit late? Maybe you could cover tomorrow instead?”
Jayce said, “You'll be busy tomorrow.”
Well, that was true.
She needed to check on the renovations at her stuand oversee sdetails in person.
Glancing at the time, Charlotte sighed, “Alright then, you're welcto cto my place.”
As soon as the words left her lips, the elevator doors slid shut.
The confined space felt increasingly heavy with a tense

atmosphere, an unsettling chill creeping up from the floor.

Just a few seconds later, the elevator doors opened again, and Charlotte stepped out, glancing back at the two
men following
her.
Jayce had explicitly said he wanted to visit; what about Arthur?
Her clear eyes met his as she asked, “Do you need something from me?”
“I do,” Arthur replied, his face devoid of any real emotion though his eyes were fixed on her.
Charlotte wasn't in the mood for a lengthy conversation.
“Let’s talk tomorrow,” she said, moving to close the door.
Arthur's expression darkened as he caught the door with one hand, pushing it open with a slight force and
stepping inside without invitation.
Hoos”
Charlotte frowned, clearly annoyed by his brazen behavior.
Arthur, however, seemed completely unfazed. He shrugged off his coat and tossed it over her shoulders, then
strolled into the kitchen as if it were his own home, pouring himself a glass of
water.
Charlotte yanked the coat off her shoulders and tossed it straight

into the trash without a second thought.
Arthur caught the movement but didn’t seem bothered. He turned to Jayce and asked, “What do you want to
drink?”
“Just water,” Jayce replied.
Arthur poured him a glass and plopped down on the couch, saying, “Make yourself at home.”
Then he smirked, adding, “It’s a bit rude to visit someone’s house without bringing a gift. Don’t forget to bring
something next time.”
Jayce paused, taken aback.
He thought, “Bring a gift? For her?”
Confusion flickered in his eyes before a spark of realization lit them up. Jayce turned to Charlotte. “What do you
like?”

Arthur's gaze turned icy. “That's not how it works. She won't just tell you what she wants. It’s about your

Jayce persisted, his eyes still on Charlotte.
With a resigned sigh, Charlotte said, “I don’t need anything. We're neighbors and friends; | don’t care about
gifts.”
Arthur chimed in, “That's your perspective. If he doesn’t bring a gift, it just shows a lack of manners. Sir Caldwell
didn’t teach him well, but I will.”
Chapter 240 Keep Your Distance Charlotte was at a loss for words.
Jayce’s gaze dropped to the ground, and he said softly, “You don’t see it, do you? She doesn’t want you here.”

Arthur scoffed, saying, “What couple doesn’t argue? I'll make her feel better, but you, as a friend, should keep
your distance.”
The message was clear, he had no right to interfere in their relationship.
Jayce’s expression darkened as he thought, “I don’t have the right now.
When will 1?
After she divorces? When will that be?”
The tension in the room thickened, and Charlotte felt increasingly uncomfortable.
Glancing at the clock, she said, “It’s getting late; | think | need srest.”
