Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 23 Too Many Coincidences Arthur , being rejected again , regarded her with increased interest .

She seemed resistant to him .

She wanted to make his money but always maintained a distant attitude .

After careful recollection , he didnt remember he had offended her .

As he watched her nibbling on her dessert , he suddenly stood up , grabbed a few pieces of cake from the buffet , and placed them in front of her .

Ms.

Aroma , before you say no , please reconsider , he said .

2/9 Arthur observed her calmly .

Even with her mask on , he could read the emotions reflected in her eyes .

When she scanned the cakes and caught sight of one topped with strawberries , a look of disgust flashed across her face .

He noticed that and narrowed his eyes .

Charlotte , uninterested in engaging with him , simply stood up and walked away .

As Ms.

Aroma , she couldnt afford to dismiss him so casually .

Arthur stayed seated , crossing his legs and staring coldly at her retreating figure .

Was it just a coincidence ? She seemed to hate strawberries .

Charlotte was also allergic to strawberries , a fact he remembered all too well , having witnessed her suffer an allergic reaction- small rashes dotting her delicate skin as she scratched at them in pain .

They shared similar body figures and allergies ; the coincidences were striking .

But their voices were distinctly different .

Arthur made a call .

Find out where Charlotte is .

Understood , his subordinate replied .

***** When Diana located Charlotte , she found her standing by the window , gazing at the night sky .

Diana approached and said , There are five companies interested in your fragrance and three that want to connect with you .

I neither accepted nor declined .

Do you have time to discuss ? Absolutely .

Charlotte nodded .

Now that Im no longer preoccupied with Arthur , I have plenty of time .

Diana continued , Then you can make a few fragrances , and Ill handle the negotiations .

By the way , Evie asked if you could come to her new bar .

Evie Clarke , Diana , and Charlotte were good friends , but Charlotte had lost touch with them during her marriage .

Upon learning of Charlottes divorce , Evie was thrilled because she had never liked Arthur .

ces 5/9 Ill definitely be there , Charlotte replied immediately .

Great .

Ill call and tell her , said Diana .

-* *- * -* -* Arthur received a call from his subordinate , who informed him that Charlotte was at her apartment .

He glanced at Charlotte and Diana by the window chatting and commanded , Tell her I have something for her .

Yes , his subordinate replied .

Unbeknownst to Charlotte , she was already under suspicion .

She was thinking about a visit to Evies bar after the birthday party when her phone rang .

When she saw the caller ID , her face hardened .

It was her mother , Camille Webb , calling .

Hello , Charlotte answered calmly .

Charlotte , you want to divorce Arthur ? Are you out of your mind ? Do you think this marriage is a joke ? I wont allow it , Camille said coldly .

Feeling a tinge of sadness , Charlotte composed herself before replying , Mom , did you know I was in a car accident ? Camille paused , then said , Arent you fine now ? That doesnt justify wanting a Ab divorce .

Come home now ; we need to talk ! With that , she hung up the phone .

Charlotte clenched her phone tightly , feeling frustrated .

The incident from five years ago had bound Charlotte and Arthur together , resulting in a marriage alliance between the Hardwick family and the Harrison family , which was meant to be a win win situation .

However , the Hardwick family was deeply displeased .

They believed Charlotte had brought shame to their name by using her body to secure a man .

nces During that time , there were whispers and ridicule aimed at the Hardwick family , and Charlotte was too afraid to go home , knowing she would face accusations and scorn .

Now , with her desire for a divorce , the family didnt agree .

Why was everyone being so difficult ? Just then , Diana exclaimed , Oh no , someones at your place ! 8/9 Charlotte frowned .

What do you mean ? Diana pulled out her phone , showing Charlotte the surveillance footage from her front door .

A man in a black suit was ringing the bell .

Charlotte squinted , recognizing the man and feeling flustered .
