Chapter 234
James looked at her apologetically. He didn’t understand how he’d lost himself in that final moment and called out… Sarah’s
name
“I’m sorry” At this point, that’s all he could say
Charlotte sobbed uncontrollably, her tear–filled eyes fixed on him. “James, why? How could you do this to me? Why did you call her name in bed? Do you regret marrying me? Regret divorcing her?”
“No, I’ve never regretted marrying you.” James tried to hold Charlotte, but she shoved him away.
“If you don’t regret marrying me, why did you call her name? Are you in love with her?” Charlotte’s eyes blazed.
James shook his head desperately. “Charlotte, I don’t know what came over me. I wasn’t thinking. I never meant to hurt you.”
Even he didn’t understand his thoughts. When he heard Charlotte’s whispers, he’d remembered Sarah’s hatred toward him.
Whether at Sarah’s door or at the press conference after their divorce, he’d had many chances to see her, but her eyes remained cold and distant. It had been so long since he’d seen warmth in Sarah’s gaze
He’d taken that warmth for granted when he had it. People only realize what’s precious after losing it.
In his daze, many thoughts had crossed his mind.
But he’d never meant to hurt Charlotte, at least not like this
“I don’t believe you! You always took her to see your grandfather just to see her, didn’t you? I know everything! But James, we’re married now!” Why couldn’t he just love her properly?
James watched painfully as Charlotte wept. This time he held her firmly, I’m sorry, Charlotte, It won’t happen again. I just lost focus for a moment.
Charlotte didn’t push him away, but deadly hatred blazed in her eyes.
At Adams University.
Sarah submitted her recent thesis – her second one, with data and models helped by her mentor Jane.
Jane had been incredibly supportive, not just
ust with date
data but with modeling concepts too.
Finishing up, she checked her phone – no messages.
Since returning to the Sanders estate, Zachary had barely contacted her. Her messages went unanswered
She couldn’t understand why Was it because of Melvin?
Zachary had become completely distant. He used to pick her up after work, but now he never showed up.
It was like he’d vanished from her world – but how could someone just vanish?
She’d asked Mia about him. Apparently, he often checked on her through Mia, asking how she was doing Why couldn’t he just ask her himself?
She’d asked Melvin countless times, tried getting answers when he was drunk, pleaded sincerely – but learned nothing
The way Zachary had shut her out was breaking her heart
“Sarah, what’s wrong?” Mia had just finished class and found Sarah looking exhausted
“I’m fine Done with classes?”
“Yes,
es, all finished.” She noticed Sarah’s mood “Is it because of my
brother
