Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 28 He Needs You Diana had been keeping an eye on the surveillance cameras .

The moment she saw Arthur leave with his men , she immediately texted Charlotte with the update .

Charlotte let out a long breath , the weight on her chest finally lifting .

She pressed the voice message button and spoke in exasperation , You dont understand .

I was scared out of my mind ! Im drenched in sweat .

Im taking a shower right now .

That man is out of control .

This marriage has to end .

Hes way too dangerous ! Diana replied with a faint sigh , Its not just about the divorce .

The little bit of 2/8 progress you made today ? You just slammed the door shut on it yourself .

Charlotte rolled her eyes .

Ill think about it later .

Shower first .

One crisis averted , but another one waited in the wings .

After her shower , she lay on her bed , letting her mind settle .

She needed a plan , a way to get this divorce over with , fast .

Whether her parents approved didnt matter to her .

Shed made up her mind , and no one was going to stop her .

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ring of her phone .

She glanced at the screen and frowned .

It was Arthur again .

Without hesitation , Charlotte declined the call .

But he was persistent , dialing her back immediately .

Her irritation flared , and with it came a nagging sense of unease .

Answering on the third ring , she snapped , What now ? Arthurs deep , magnetic voice came through the line , laced with icy authority .

Julius has a fever .

Come to Harrison Villa .

The words struck Charlotte like a punch to the chest , and for a moment , she couldnt breathe .

Her body moved on instinct .

She swung her legs off the bed , already halfway to the door .

But then she stopped .

She had been pretending to have amnesia , to have forgotten her feelings for Julius .

To her current self , he was supposed to be just another child , a stranger .

Clenching her fists , she forced herself to stay calm .

What good would it do if I came ? Dont you have doctors at the house ? Charlotte .

His voice was sharper now , colder , cutting through her defenses .

Youre his mother .

Hes sick , and he needs you .

Her chest tightened painfully , like an iron grip squeezing her heart .

She had tried so hard to tell herself to let go .

But Julius was her child , the one she had cherished more than her own life .

Even if he had grown distant , he was still her precious boy .

Closing her eyes , she swallowed her emotions .

I dont even remember how to take care of him anymore … Just come , Arthur said , his tone brooking no argument .

Then the line went dead .

Charlotte sat frozen for a moment , gripping the phone tightly .

Her face had gone pale , but her resolve kicked in .

She quickly changed into fresh clothes and headed downstairs .

The Hardwick Villa was eerily quiet .

She slipped into the garage , selected one of James cars , and sped off into the night .

The city streets were deserted , the silence of the late hour broken only by the hum of her car .

She drove like a woman possessed , arriving at the imposing gates of the Harrison Villa in record time .

Taking a deep breath , she steadied herself before stepping out of the car .

Charlotte thought , Whatever is waiting inside , I cant afford to falter .

She got out of the car and quickly regained her composure , pressing the doorbell .

Moments later , the heavy black and gold gate creaked open , and she stepped inside .

However , as soon as she entered , she noticed a white car parked in front of the villa .

It looked unfamiliar , unlike the usual cars the Harrison family drove .

She frowned but didnt dwell on it , quickly making her way inside .

Robert , the butler , was waiting in the foyer , his expression a mixture of surprise and unease .

Mrs.

Harrison … Youre here .

His awkward tone didnt escape her notice .

Charlotte nodded curtly .

Arthur said Julius has a fever .

Where is he ? Robert hesitated , his gaze flickering nervously .

Hes … upstairs .

Okay .

She frowned at his odd behavior but brushed it off , heading straight for the staircase .

At the top , an open door caught her attention .

She walked toward it , her steps steady , her expression calm .

But the Chapter 28 He Needs You moment she stepped inside and saw the scene before her , that calm façade shattered completely .
