Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 37 Youre Not My Mom Alright , one meal for a million dollars .

Arthurs brows furrowed at her words .

Whats with you ? Are you just after money ? Youre Julius mother .

Charlotte blinked innocently .

But I dont remember that .

To me , youre just strangers .

And when I cook for strangers , I expect to get paid .

I dont work for free .

Arthurs frustration was evident , the muscles in his forehead twitching with anger .

He could almost feel his blood boiling .

How did she become so sharp tongued ? One sentence from her was enough to make him want to strangle her .

2/7 Julius , sitting quietly nearby , pouted .

His big eyes shimmered with unshed tears as he stared at her .

She seemed like a complete stranger to him .

Youre not my mom , he said suddenly , his voice soft and hoarse , his gaze never leaving her .

Charlotte froze for a second , then said coldly , What , just because Im not blindly devoted , you dont want me to be your mom ? Well , it looks like youre the one who doesnt want me around .

Fine , Ill gladly step aside .

Let your dad sign the divorce papers , and Ill be gone for good .

Once that paper was signed , she would disappear from their lives forever .

Not My Mom Tears welled up in Juliuss eyes and 3/7 spilled down his cheeks .

Youre not my mom ! My mom would never treat me like this ! Youre not her ! Julius ! Arthur snapped , his voice hard with a reprimand .

He felt his son was going too far .

He took a deep breath , trying to calm the situation .

Your mom just lost her memory .

She doesnt remember you right now , but she will .

Just give her some time .

Julius fought to hold back his sobs , but the tears kept flowing .

His face was a mix of hurt and confusion , making him look so vulnerable that Charlottes heart clenched , though she quickly suppressed the feeling .

She took a deep breath and looked at them both coolly .

So , whats it going to be ? Are you paying me or not ? If not , we can sign the divorce papers now .

If neither works for you , I have other things to do .

Arthurs patience was clearly running out .

With a cold glance , he transferred one million dollars to her account .

Charlottes phone chimed with the payment notification , and she had a satisfied smile .

Her mood instantly lifted .

Money truly did solve everything .

She stood up , glanced around , and then moved to the kitchen .

After a quick scan of the ingredients , she threw together a My Mom 5/7 couple of simple dishes .

In less than half an hour , she was done .

She clapped her hands together , Alright , you can eat now .

She removed her apron and returned to the table .

Arthurs eyes narrowed when he saw the simple salad on the table .

He tugged at his collar , irritation clearly written on his face .

Without a word , he walked straight toward Charlotte .

Startled , she quickly stood up to distance herself .

What are you doing ? Arthur didnt respond , but the look in his eyes darkened with anger as he took slow , Mom 6/7 deliberate steps toward her .

Her back hit the wall near the stairs , leaving her nowhere to go .

Realizing she was trapped , she immediately turned to run up the stairs .

But the sound of his steady footsteps followed her , slow but unrelenting .

Charlotte cursed herself .

She shouldve run outside instead .

Arthur , what do you think youre doing ? Let me make this clear .

Im not afraid of you ! You cant do anything to me .

Im still the daughter of the Hardwick family , and were still married ! If you dare lay a hand on me , Ill expose you and let everyone know youre an abusive jerk ! She kept backing away , trying to sound confident , but her voice lacked any real force .

The problem was , his expression was just too terrifying .

Before she could even finish her threat , Arthurs steps quickened .

In a single movement , he closed the distance between them and lifted her off the ground effortlessly .

Ah ! What are you doing ?! Put me down ! Let go of me ! Charlotte screamed .
