"What's wrong with your eyes?" Charlotte asked, noticing Griffith's peculiar expression.Griffith withdrew his gaze, quickly taking a sip of lemonade to mask his emotions. "I drank too much.""Rubbish. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine."Griffith chuckled and actually turned to look at her, revealing a rare, pure smile that was exceptionally beautiful."Alright, you win." Charlotte grinned and asked, "Where do you think I should go first?"Griffith was wrestling with his thoughts. He feared that if he casually mentioned a place, it might happen to be where she'd find Tobias."Where do you want to go?" he replied cautiously."Mirland?""Too dirty.""Linden?""Noisy.""Fogrance?""Bureaucratic and cumbersome."Charlotte clicked her tongue. "Have you been to all these places? Why are you criticizing them like a troll?""I've been to all of them," he confessed.Charlotte rolled her eyes. "Then where do you think is good?""Don't travel abroad too much; our own land is vast. Is

"Didn't you give it to Katie?" Charlotte asked."I never gave it away. She took it without asking," Griffith replied.Charlotte walked over to the wooden box, carefully inspected each item to ensure nothing was damaged, and closed the box."I'm returning them to their rightful owner," Griffith said.Charlotte nodded, clutching the box tightly. She turned to face him and smiled, saying, "Thank you for giving me the divorce compensation in advance."Griffith's expression stiffened.After a moment of silence, he replied, "It's just a gift, unrelated to the divorce."Charlotte struggled to find the right words for a moment."Anyway, thank you," she finally said."Yeah," Griffith responded.Charlotte turned away, hugging the box close to her. Griffith followed her in silence as they made their way back to the hotel. Neither of them spoke during the elevator ride. Charlotte had initially planned to find Lucy but learned that Lucy and Ava were already asleep, so she got a room to he

Charlotte walked to the door, tiptoed, and glanced through the peephole.No one was there.Had he left?Unable to determine whether it was disappointment or some other emotion, she pursed her lips and walked back. Sitting by the bed, she gently caressed the necklace on her neck. She hadn't had a chance to closely examine it earlier, but she knew it was a sizable diamond!She sighed.Turning around, she opened the drawer of the bedside table. In the corner, wrapped in two handkerchiefs, were two items she had hastily grabbed that night. She unwrapped the top one; it was the necklace Simon had ordered for Aurora. She couldn't bring herself to dispose of it, mainly because it held significant value.Carefully, she opened the one below it. The thumbnail-sized diamond-studded gold box gleamed brilliantly. She took it out and held it in front of her eyes, gazing at it for a moment before placing it in the palm of her hand.She sent a message to Griffith.Charlotte: [Are you back upst

"Do you feel empty now that it's over?" Lucy asked.Charlotte thought about it and realized that she did indeed feel empty. The grand fireworks display was like a dream. Before she could speak, her phone vibrated.Ava quickly leaned over and said to Lucy, "It's Griffith."Lucy laughed. "Did you see clearly?""I can't see clearly, but I know it's him."Charlotte patted Ava's head and then turned to look at her phone.It really was Griffith.She maintained a serious expression on her face, but when she picked up the phone, she instinctively leaned back, keeping the phone out of Ava's line of sight. Ava raised her eyebrows at Lucy."You're good," Lucy said.Charlotte ignored them and read Griffith's message.Griffith: [Awake?]Charlotte: [Having breakfast.]She smiled then glanced at the time.Charlotte: [Are you at work?]Griffith: [I just got off the plane.]Charlotte sat up straight at once.Charlotte: [You left Portchester City?]Griffith: [Yes, at six o'clock.]Char

"Coach? How much did it cost?" Griffith asked."Three hundred eighty per person," Charlotte replied."Not bad." Griffith nodded in approval. "They didn't overcharge you too much."Charlotte and Lucy exchanged baffled glances."Are they no good?" Lucy asked."In just a few hours, what can they achieve?" Griffith remarked.Lucy fell silent."Something is better than nothing. At least, it helps familiarize us with the physical differences between men and women," Charlotte retorted.Griffith looked at her, and she continued, "If the gap is significant, we'll just hide tomorrow and try to survive until the final round. If it's impossible, we'll commit suicide at the beginning and rest early."Griffith was left speechless.The door was ajar, and Ava returned with two people.Charlotte hadn't changed out of her ghillie suit yet. Glancing at the door, she saw Ash and Julie. This time, Julie didn't rush over to hug her; instead, she ran over but refused to hug her.Ash smiled and sa
