Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 176 Extra Step 1/4 She gave an awkward laugh .

No , Mr.

Caldwell , youre quite the joker .

My mom picked me up this morning .

Ive been recovering at home and forgot to tell you .

Im so sorry .

Jayce said , Well , I accept your apology .

Charlotte paused for a moment , completely forgetting to respond .

Jayce continued , Dont die alone .

Its lonely .

Charlotte put her hand to her forehead .

I wont die .

Ill live better than anyone else .

Jayce replied , Good for you .

The air fell into a deathly silence .

Suddenly , her phone was snatched away .

She looked up in surprise to see Arthurs expressionless face .

Why not hang up if you have nothing to talk about ? He glanced at the phone and raised it to his ear .

Are you close with my wife ? Jayce replied , Quite close .

Arthur chuckled .

Youre honest .

Chapfer 176 Extra Step 2/4 Jayce said , Ive always been .

You should treat me to dinner .

I saved your wifes life .

Sure ! Arthur agreed .

If you need anything from her , you can just tell me directly .

Jayce was silent for a moment .

Why should I go through you if I need something from her ? Thats just an extra step .

Arthur didnt seem to mind his attitude .

He simply said , Because she has a husband now .

Jayce fell silent .

After a while , the call ended abruptly .

Arthur raised an eyebrow and returned the phone to her .

Charlotte was speechless .

What kind of crazy habit was this ? Did he even ask for her permission before snatching her phone ? He was so rude .

He caught her look of disapproval but didnt seem to care .

Julius and Mabel are coming over , he said casually .

Just as he finished speaking , a knock came at the door , and Mabels sweet little voice called out , Ms.

Lottie , are you in there ? Charlottes eyes lit up , and she immediately replied , Im here , sweetie .

Come in .

Chapter 176 Extra Step The door opened , and Mabel dashed in .

Seeing Charlotte safe and sound , she let out a sigh of relief .

3/4 Ms.

Lottie , I thought a bad guy had taken you ! Mabel said , her face full of worry .

Charlotte was amused .

Of course not , silly .

Im powerful ! I can beat up any bad guy .

Mabel nodded seriously .

Thats right , youre the best ! Julius followed behind her , his delicate but aloof face showing a hint of concern .

Mom , are you still hurting ? They were both acting so strangely .

Im fine now , Charlotte said .

She felt that perhaps she should talk with Julius .

All his efforts were pointless ; she didnt want to be his mom anymore .

As night fell , Camille had the servants prepare the guest rooms , and the two children went to their separate rooms to rest .

Charlotte wheeled herself into the bathroom to wash up .

When she came out , she saw Arthur already lying on her bed .

She paused , then said , There are plenty of rooms here .

If you sleep here , I wont be able to get a good nights sleep .

Arthur , who was reading a book , glanced at her .

Fine , then neither of us will sleep tonight .

Chapter 176 Extra Step What a jerk ! Charlotte frowned at him .

Are you blind ? Cant you see Im trying to keep my distance from you ? 4/4 Arthur closed the book , his deep sel eyes peering out from beneath slightly tousled bangs .

Those eyes seemed to hold a thousand unspoken emotions , the kind that could drown you in an instant if you werent careful .

You resist me , he said , his voice low and smooth .

And so ? What will that change ? Charlotte felt her heart sink .

He didnt care about her feelings at all , which meant nothing would ever change .

A mocking smile touched her lips .

Then why dont you just find a wife whos more obedient and well behaved ? she asked , her voice laced with sarcasm .

Im a constant thorn in your side .

Arent you afraid Ill send you to an early grave ?
