Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 781 - Bab 790

Charlotte clenched her teeth, casting a quick glance around to ensure no one had witnessed their exchange before sighing in relief. She then shot a stern glare at Griffith.Griffith tried to justify himself, saying, "I'm only nice to you with an ulterior motive. You trying to move on to another relationship with the intention of getting free food and drinks from your partner is not ethical."After finishing a strawberry and starting on another, wiping the cream from his fingers with a tissue, he turned to her and continued, "You deceive me to get food and drinks, and I took advantage of the situation. So, it's fair."Charlotte was rendered speechless. She couldn't find the words to retort, so she begrudgingly continued eating the strawberry. She realized she needed to be cautious when dealing with him, as he was becoming crafty and unpredictable. She couldn't allow him to have the upper hand all the time.Suddenly, she realized she would soon have an opportunity to regain her advan

When Griffith spotted Charlotte from a distance, she was sneakily gathering wild berries by the roadside, humming away. However, her expression twisted as she tasted the sourness of the berries.Upon seeing him, she rushed over, her arms outstretched."Why did you take so long? If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have had to eat those darn berries."She even handed him the basket.Griffith glanced at her attire, deliberately showing an expression of disbelief.Charlotte knew he was teasing her about her sleeping cap, so she explained, "This is to protect my head from the wind so I won't get a headache."She spoke and then asked, "Did you get a headache from the medicine?""No," he replied.She nodded and pointed towards the 'wild and desolate' area behind. "And the flower field?"Griffith didn't immediately answer her. Instead, he draped the thin blanket he was carrying over her head, covering almost half of her.Charlotte blinked. "Huh?""Your head is protected from the win

Griffith desperately wanted to caution Charlotte against recklessness if she wasn't willing to accept responsibility. The words hovered on the edge of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say them. He preferred to let his pent-up sexual frustration simmer rather than endure the absence of any interaction with her.Furrowing his brows, he straightened up, bit into the petal with his teeth, and then spat it out at his feet. Turning his head, he noticed Charlotte's smile and her attempt to discreetly block their line of sight with a few flowers. She seemed to want to conceal herself behind the blossoms.He couldn't help but chuckle at her innocence, leaning back and lightly tapping her waist. Charlotte lowered the flowers."What's the matter?" she asked."My ear feels a bit uncomfortable."Charlotte wondered, 'Could eating a petal really cause such a reaction?'But she refrained from saying anything to avoid breaking the flirtatious atmosphere of their fleeting intimate mome

The interlude in the cottage felt like a secret shared only between the two of them, something they couldn't reveal to others but couldn't pretend to be oblivious about. They had to maintain a facade of ignorance, even though they were fully aware of what had transpired.This pretense added an intriguing layer to their connection.Late at night, Griffith carried Charlotte back to the castle. As they passed through the downstairs area, they unexpectedly encountered Lucy and Ava sneaking down for a late-night snack.Charlotte gasped in shock but quickly composed herself as Ash and Julie appeared from around the corner, holding plates of food. The scene became momentarily awkward.However, Griffith, being thick-skinned, acted as if he hadn't noticed and continued upstairs with Charlotte.Shortly after, Charlotte received a message from Ava containing an article titled "100 Reasons Why Having Too Much Sex is Harmful to a Woman's Body." She didn't even dare to open it and immediately s

Charlotte paused in her orange-peeling motion, lifting her head to glance at Freddie."What?"Why did it seem as if he were blaming her, telling her not to bother Griffith?Freddie avoided her gaze, his youthful and attractive visage remaining devoid of emotion. His eyes drifted past her, landing on a servant preparing to ascend the stairs."Young Master.""Where's that headed?""To Mr. Griffith's study."Freddie extended his hand. "Hand it over.""Of course." The servant complied without hesitation, surrendering the tray.Seated on the sofa, Charlotte observed the young man ascending the stairs with the tray. Internally, she clicked her tongue. It appeared her previous intuition about Freddie's strong attachment to Griffith wasn't off base. When she clashed with Griffith, he probably sided with him.Upstairs, Griffith had just lit a cigarette when a knock sounded at the door. Assuming it was Charlotte, he promptly extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. As the door swung
