Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 47 Ive Seen You Before Charlotte jumped , startled .

She turned to find herself face to face with a man whose features were striking yet unnervingly pale .

His eyes bore into her with an intensity that made her uneasy , and the mole at the corner of his eye added an almost otherworldly allure .

He gripped Charlottes arm tightly , and the pressure made her wince in pain .

Excuse me , sir .

Who are you ? Could you let go of me ? Charlotte tried to pull her arm free .

But the mans hold only tightened .

Charlotte gasped in pain .

Jayce ! 2/7 Arthurs cold voice rang out , cutting through the tense moment .

Let her go .

Jayce ? Jayce Caldwell ? Charlotte thought in disbelief , her eyes widening .

She hadnt realized the man before she was Edwards grandson , Jayce .

The room had been dim that day , and she hadnt gotten a good look at him .

I remember you , Jayce said , ignoring Arthur entirely .

His eyes remained fixed on Charlotte .

Could you please release me first ? Charlottes voice wavered as she felt the blood draining from her arm .

fore 3/7 Jayce didnt seem to hear her .

Ive seen you before , he repeated .

It was only then that Charlotte realized the gravity of the situation .

The day she went upstairs , she had tried to enter the room , but he had dropped something , knocking her mask off .

She realized that he might have seen her face at that time .

After all , she had been married to Arthur for five years , and she had never seen Jayce ! She thought , This is bad .

If he keeps talking , Arthur may discover my secret identity .

Before 4/7 Her heart raced as she hastily nodded .

Oh , sir , maybe you saw me at our wedding ? Im so sorry .

Ive lost my memory and dont remember much .

May I ask who you are ? Jayce pressed his lips together , his gaze stubbornly locked on her .

Ive seen you , he insisted .

Charlotte froze .

She thought , What does he want from me ? Arthur stepped in , prying Jayces hand off Charlottes arm .

He frowned and asked , Did you come alone ? Jayce shook off Arthurs hand and continued staring at Charlotte .

etore Arthur stepped between them , his tone icy .

Jayce , shes my wife , Charlotte .

At these words , Jayces expression flickered with a change in emotion , his eyes momentarily revealing a crack of vulnerability .

His already pale face seemed even more fragile as if he had been struck by a deep sense of loss .

Charlottes heart pounded .

She feared Jayce might say something that would expose her .

5/7 But looking at his broken , sorrowful expression , she suddenly felt a twinge of pity for him .

Jayce parted his lips , and after a long pause , he hoarsely said , Its my pleasure to meet you , Charlotte .

efore Charlotte quickly nodded .

Nice to meet you .

6/7 Arthur frowned .

Didnt Delia come with you ? Jayce had severe depression and uncontrollable mood swings .

Delia Becker , his bodyguard , had been by his side for years .

Jayce said nothing , his gaze occasionally drifting back to Charlotte .

Feeling uneasy under his scrutiny , Charlotte excused herself .

Ill go to the restroom .

She didnt want to be exposed .

She knew she needed to come up with a plan .

Soon , Delia arrived , her face full of worry .

Jayce replied , I came to find someone .
