Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 40 I Need a Drink Looking at Julius like this , Charlotte couldnt help but laugh .

She had once poured her heart out to them , but theyd never cared .

Now that she had made up her mind to leave , suddenly , they all wanted her back .

But life wasnt full of second chances , and regret didnt work like that .

With a cold glance , Charlotte turned and walked away .

Tears welled up in Julius eyes as he took a few steps forward .

Mom … He thought to himself , Im sick , and she still wont comfort me ? Grandma says her memory loss is fake , so is she pretending not to care about me ? Does she really not want me anymore ? Julius felt so sad .

He hadnt done anything wrong , and yet his mother was treating him like this .

Charlottes heart ached , but she didnt stop .

She simply got into her car and drove off .

Once in the car , she called Evie .

Honey , I need a drink .

Evie , always upbeat , responded immediately , Come over ! Ive got tons of alcohol here , and we can drink all night .

Ill call Diana , and well have a blast ! Sounds perfect .

At Night Club .

Evie , the owner , had booked the most luxurious VIP room .

When Charlotte walked in , the table was already covered with an impressive array of drinks .

Evie practically jumped on her .

My darling , Ive missed you so much ! Ive been flying all over for work , and youve been wrapped up in your husband and son , huh ? Did they put a spell on you or something ? She teased , reaching out to mess with Charlottes hair .

Charlotte let her , her heart warming .

3/7 Chapter 40 I Need a Drink She had spent five years neglecting 4/7 herself , but now , returning to a world with good friends still around, she felt so lucky .

Alright , enough with the drama .

Lets drink ! Diana , cool and composed as ever , cut in .

Her icy beauty never seemed to change as she opened a bottle of liquor .

Evie pulled Charlotte to sit and asked , So , youre really done with that scumbag , huh ? Youre not going back to him ? Yep .

Charlotte nodded firmly .

Im done with him .

Evie grinned and clapped her hands .

Thats the spirit ! Honestly , Ive been wanting to tell you .

Arthur is trash .

Hes got someone else ! Years ago , there was this woman , and because of her career , she had to go abroad .

But Arthur stayed behind to take over the family business .

And guess what ? He got drugged , and you , poor thing , got caught up in it .

You two rushed into a marriage , but he already had someone in his heart .

He wont love you .

He cant love you .

Charlottes grip on her glass tightened .

You … you knew ? Evie sighed , I found out by accident , but by then , it was too late .

You had a kid , and your whole world revolved around Arthur .

What could I say ? I was hoping maybe hed fall for you .

But clearly , that didnt happen .

She squeezed Charlottes hand .

So , what made you decide now ? It feels so sudden .

Charlotte gave a bitter smile .

If youd told me sooner , I mightve figured it out faster .

I saw a photo of him with Sarah , and thats when I knew I had to let him go .

Evie froze , guilt washing over her .

Im so sorry .

I shouldve told you sooner .

To make it up to you , drink as much as you want ! After saying that , Eive wanted to drink all the wine in her cup .

Charlotte quickly reassured her , Dont be like that .

Im not angry at you .

Hes in love with someone else , and I wouldve figured it out eventually .

Honestly , I dont care anymore .

If you dont care , then why are your eyes so red ? Diana asked directly .

Charlotte froze , but she didnt answer .

Instead , she just took a long sip of her drink .

Evie didnt hesitate and poured another drink for her , keeping up the pace until Charlottes face was flushed with the effects of the alcohol .

Just then , the door swung open , and a familiar face appeared .

It was Barrett , smiling mischievously .
