Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Charlotte went to the hospital to visit William, who was about to be discharged.The young man sat by the window early in the morning, wearing a camouflage jacket over his hospital gown. Despite his bandaged limbs, he still looked handsome.The only downside was his sour expression."It's past eight. Why aren't you at work? What are you doing at the hospital?" His tone made it hard for Charlotte not to think of Griffith."I'm not going to work today," she replied after sitting down."You're working only three days a week. How can you succeed in your career?" he said.William closed his book written in German and sneered. "When will you snap out of your love-struck phase? Besides thinking about Griffith, do you have anything else to do? Or have you become addicted to being a wealthy housewife?"Charlotte stammered, "That's not...""Zombies must have eaten your brains! What does he have besides his money and good looks?"Charlotte struggled to respond, but William couldn't be bo

"If your dad returns, can you handle him?" Charlotte broke the silence halfway through. She felt it was getting awkward and needed to say something.Griffith looked at her and said, "Are you afraid I'll be doomed and drag you down?"Charlotte shrugged and nodded solemnly. "Precisely. We didn't exactly have a happy marriage. It'll be too tragic if I'm dragged down with you."Griffith snorted, and silence fell once more.Charlotte glanced around and noticed a corner of the bandage on Griffith's arm was peeling off."You haven't replaced it yet?" she asked.Griffith followed her gaze and looked at his forearm, frowning slightly. He reached over and adjusted his sleeve. "I haven't had the chance."Charlotte glanced around and asked, "Do you have bandages in your office?"Griffith looked at her and said lowly, "There's no one here. No need to pretend to care about me."Charlotte smiled faintly and replied, "I'm just worried you'll die, and I'll have to join you in the afterlife."

Charlotte was particularly sensitive to the words 'car accident' since her parents had died in one.At the funeral, she had hidden in a corner and overheard people talking about the car accident. They had found it too strange, as it had claimed the lives of three prominent individuals: her parents and her eldest uncle's wife. These three people were considered the future leaders of the Scott family.Her grandparents on her mother's side came from humble backgrounds and had no say in family matters. However, her eldest uncle's wife came from a prestigious family. When the accident happened, her family sent investigators who spent nearly half a year investigating it but found no evidence of foul play.The accident was ultimately ruled as an accident.Could there be so many accidents in this world?Charlotte had suspected her third uncle and even her eldest uncle. But after observing them for years, she realized neither of them was capable of such an elaborate cover-up.Lost in thou

It had been three years since Charlotte last stepped onto a stage. Sitting in front of the makeup mirror and looking at her reflection in the traditional costume, she felt she had traveled through time.Outside, the commotion continued, but she had already picked up the script and quickly memorized her lines.Suzanne called the male actor who would share the stage with her. At first, he was reluctant and leaned toward having the director apologize instead to avoid jeopardizing the performance. However, his attitude wavered when he saw the gorgeous Charlotte in front of the mirror.When Charlotte called him 'senior,' the male actor was no longer reluctant. It wasn't just because he was captivated by her beauty but that Charlotte had a good attitude. Compared to his usual co-star, Jessica, Charlotte was undoubtedly much gentler. Who wouldn't prefer an easy-going co-star?After rehearsing their lines for a while, the male actor was surprised to learn that Charlotte had a strong acting

It was past eight o'clock, and Charlotte sat at the dining table in Ava's house, slurping a mouthful of noodles while listening to Ava's analysis."You and your teacher made a hasty decision," Ava remarked.Charlotte nodded, sharing the same sentiment. When Jessica proposed her plan, Suzanne didn't think twice before agreeing. Ava passed a garlic clove to Charlotte, and the two met mid-air, clinking the garlic cloves like glasses before slurping a mouthful of noodles.Ah—They both exhaled as their cravings were momentarily satisfied before they continued talking.Ava was an experienced professional in the workplace and got straight to the point. "Even if you achieve half of that woman's ticket sales, you won't be able to stay, and it might end up worse for you."Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded. "You're right. Suzanne is a refined person who hasn't experienced the hardships of life. She doesn't understand the situation. She should've thought about it carefully. Why wo
