Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 68 Lets Test It Out 1/3 Everyone turned toward the source of the voice , stunned to see Arthur back in the private room .

His jacket , casually slung over his arm earlier , was now loosely held in one hand .

The air around him radiated menace , an unmistakable storm brewing beneath his calm exterior .

His lips parted , and his low , magnetic voice cut through the tension .

I changed my mind .

I feel like playing , after all .

His sharp gaze swept across the room , making everyones blood run cold .

What ? You all planning to stay and watch ? The men , already wary of Arthur , sobered up immediately .

They scrambled to leave , not forgetting to shut the door behind them thoughtfully .

Silence fell over the room .

Charlotte never expected him to come back .

Watching his tall frame approach , she rose from the couch instinctively , her body tensing with caution .

Arthurs eyes locked onto hers .

He thought , That looks so familiar .

Charlotte always looks at me like that , too .

How could two different people share the same gaze ? Arthurs curiosity burned stronger now .

He thought again , What is hiding beneath her mask ? Would it surprise or shock me ? He stepped closer , each stride deliberate and unyielding .

His towering presence bore down on her like a tidal wave , suffocating and inescapable .

Charlotte shrank back instinctively , unsettled by the intensity in his eyes .

Lowering her gaze , she avoided his stare .

Thank you , Chapfer 68 Lets Test It Out 2/3 Her mind was beginning to fog again , and a dull ache had started gnawing at her stomach .

That bottle of vodka shed downed earlier was no joke .

Charlotte thought , I must find Evie .

If I dont leave soon , my disguise will crumble completely -and when that happens , everything will fall apart .

Is that all youve got to say ? Arthur stopped a few steps away , the light above casting shadows over his chiseled features .

His deep set eyes glimmered with amusement as he looked at her almost playfully .

Ms.

Aroma , youve provoked me time and time again , yet here I am , saving you .

Wouldnt you say Im quite the saint ? Charlotte thought , Is this guy for real ? Complimenting himself ? And pushing me to agree with him ? Still , facts were facts .

Mr.

Harrison , this bottle of fragrance might temporarily ease your symptoms , she said , her tone measured despite the chaos swirling in her mind .

And thank you for saving me just now .

Summoning what little composure she had left , Charlotte retrieved a small bottle from her bag and placed it on the table , sliding it toward him .

If you need more in the future , Ill give you a discount .

She hesitated , then added , The materials are quite rare , and I just want to make a little money .

I hope youll understand .

Arthur leaned forward , picking up the tiny bottle .

About the size of a perfume vial , its contents were clear and shimmered faintly under the light .

His fingers turned it over , examining it with casual curiosity .

It will work after I spray it ? he asked .

Chapfer 68 Lets Test It Out Yes .

Charlotte nodded .

You saw how effective it was at Sir Caldwells birthday party , didnt you ? I believe itll help .

3/3 Arthur said with a faint smile , Lets test it out .

With that , he unscrewed the cap and , after a brief pause , aimed it directly at Charlotte .

Charlotte , already dazed , didnt react in time .

The moment she caught the familiar scent , her eyes widened in shock , staring at him in disbelief .

Before she could say a word , a powerful wave of drowsiness crashed over her , pulling her under like a tide .

Unable to fight it , she felt her eyelids fluttered shut and she collapsed onto the couch , fast asleep .

Her golden butterfly mask sparkled under the light as she lay there , perfectly still .

Arthurs brows lifted slightly at the sight .

Replacing the cap on the bottle , he stepped closer , looming over her slumbering form .

For a moment , he stared at the golden mask that hid her face .

Then , slowly , he reached out , his fingers brushing against its edge .
