Chapter 25

Author: Nia Young
Charlotte lifted her eyes to him, her voice unsettlingly calm. “I didn’t want to interrupt your affair.”

He didn’t care about her anymore, so why would he care that she had been sick?

There was a faint lifelessness about her that William found deeply unsettling. He hesitated for a moment before changing the subject. “I’m flying to Tanesia this afternoon for a business trip. The studio staff will bring the wedding photos over later. You—”

“I’m busy,” Charlotte cut in, expression blank as she pulled her hand away.

William’s tone cooled. “Charlotte, you’ve yelled, cried, and smashed things. I think that’s enough.”

She gave him a tired glance and walked straight into the dressing room.

A few minutes after she left, Gavin stepped inside. “Mr. Harris, we’re ready to depart.”

William didn’t look up. “Delay the departure by two hours.”

Gavin took in the wedding-photo staff moving around the house, then quietly backed out of the room.

That evening, Charlotte returned home carrying a st

  • Mr. CEO, Your Wife Wants Out   Chapter 30

    When Charlotte woke up the next morning, William was already gone.She got ready in a rush and headed to the hospital. She threw all her attention into her work and into getting along with her colleagues, and found she wasn’t feeling quite so miserable after all.After work that evening, she unexpectedly ran into Jake Jordan, the senior colleague Dr. Moore had introduced to her.Charlotte greeted him politely. “Hello, Dr. Jordan.”Jake was dressed in a clean, understated business-casual style. A pair of rimless gold glasses rested on his nose, giving him a refined, gentle look. “I heard you live on Magnolia Road. I happen to have an errand in that area. Would you like a ride?”Charlotte immediately shook her head. “Thank you, Dr. Jordan, but I drove today.”Jake came from a prestigious medical family whose private hospitals were scattered across the world. He himself was the youngest medical PhD in the country. Even at his age, Jake had already inherited a family fortune worth bi

    Charlotte snapped.She pushed herself up on her knees and shoved William hard, her voice suddenly rising. “William, what right do you have to question me? Are you speaking as my husband, or as her lover?”William’s brow tightened. “Charlotte, I warned you not to see her.”Charlotte felt a painful tightness spreading through her chest. “I’m not that childish.”William’s expression darkened. “Do you have any idea she almost had an accident because of you?”Charlotte let out a breathless, incredulous laugh.She had only run into Annie at the hospital and said a simple hello.Charlotte slumped back down, as if all her strength had been drained at once. “So you dropped everything and flew back overnight because you were worried something had happened to Annie?”William stood abruptly, agitated.He stood over her at the edge of the bed, looking down at her. “Charlotte, I know exactly what you are like. Annie is not in good health. She cannot handle stress, and she has a child to car

  • Mr. CEO, Your Wife Wants Out   Chapter 28

    Charlotte could tell from William’s expression that he had something to say. But once he stepped into the bedroom, he only glanced at her before heading straight into the bathroom.The sound of running water filled the room. Charlotte found herself unable to focus on a single word in her book. She closed her laptop, stacked her study materials neatly on the nightstand, and leaned back against the pillows, quietly waiting for William to come out.Every time he returned home, he showered first. It had always been his habit. At some point, it had become hers too.She used to love the scent of him. She used to love falling asleep in his arms. Back when she was happiest, she had told him she loved him and needed him to hold her every night. Otherwise, she said, her heart would feel like it was breaking.But from the day she discovered his affair, she had spent nearly every night alone, lying awake in misery.And she was still alive.It turned out that no one in this world was truly

    Annie’s nails dug into her palm.Everything she wore, everything she used, even the food she ate had all come from William. Six years ago, when she had dated him, the Harris family had known exactly what kind of background she came from.Michelle’s questions were intentional. She was trying to embarrass her.Annie forced a calm smile. “Miss Harris, you must be joking. I come from a very ordinary family.”Michelle folded her arms and stretched out her words on purpose. “Then your in-laws must be wealthy. Which prominent family did you marry into? I might know them.”Color rose in Annie’s cheeks. She glanced at Charlotte before looking away. “Miss Harris, I am not married.”Charlotte’s knees nearly gave out. She almost lost her footing.Not married, yet she had a five-year-old son.There was no doubt who the father was.Michelle gave Annie a big thumbs-up. “That makes you impressive. What do you do for work, Miss Xander? Let’s be friends. I admire women who earn their own money

    Michelle took the papers from Annie and glanced at Charlotte, immediately sensing that something was wrong.She turned back to Annie. “Do you know me?”Annie brushed a strand of hair behind her left ear and offered a polite smile before looking at Charlotte again. “I was just passing by and heard her call you Michelle. My friend’s sister has the same name, so I asked without thinking.”Charlotte felt the color drain from her face.The moment she saw Annie’s figure and hairstyle, she had a faint suspicion. When Annie asked for Michelle’s last name, Charlotte’s suspicion only deepened. And when she noticed the diamond bracelet on Annie’s wrist, everything became unmistakably clear.Standing before her was Annie, the woman William had carried a torch for all these years.Charlotte went still, unable to react.Michelle studied Annie more closely. “Yes, I’m Michelle Harris. And you are?”Annie looked at Charlotte again and kept her polite smile. “I’m a friend of William. My name is
