Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Wife Wants Out: Bab 51 - Bab 60

They argued the entire ride home, and by the time the car stopped, both of them looked completely drained.Charlotte caught a glimpse of a pharmacy through the window and suddenly remembered something. “I need to use the restroom.”William told the driver to pull over and quietly straightened her clothes. “I’ll go with you.”He held her hand the moment they stepped out of the car and never let go. When they reached the entrance of a chain pharmacy, Charlotte stopped walking.“Relax. Even for the sake of my parents and Caleb, I would never do anything stupid.”William studied her for a few seconds, then loosened his grip.Charlotte went inside and went straight to the counter. She asked the clerk for emergency contraception. The clerk took one look at her messy hair, red eyes, and shaken expression and gently asked if she needed help calling the police.Charlotte declined, paid, and stepped back outside.William’s gaze immediately landed on the pill box in her hand, and his expr

“Besides,” William said quietly, “Annie isn’t that kind of person. I trust her. She promised me that once she’s recovered, she’ll let me help find a school for the child somewhere far away. She doesn’t want to interfere with my life with Charlotte.”Lucas didn’t even give him room to breathe. “William, spare me the moral high ground. There were a hundred ways you could have made up for what happened back then. And somehow, you chose the one that hurts everyone the most. You still have feelings for Annie. You still resent Mr. Harris Sr. for tearing you two apart. I get all of that. What I don’t get is why you’re destroying Charlotte in the process.”He looked him straight in the eye. “If Charlotte is guilty of anything, it’s loving you too much. If you’re still hung up on Annie, then let Charlotte go. Go be the convenient stepfather you’re already acting like.”William’s expression tightened. “I’m taking responsibility for Annie and her son, but I’m not getting divorced.”Lucas sigh

Charlotte walked toward the next aisle and froze the moment she looked up.William was standing there.He held a pack of pads in one hand and his phone in the other. His voice carried clearly through the shelves.“Annie, which brand do you usually use? I can grab a few for you.”His tone was gentle and patient.He stood there in a tailored suit that could not hide the domestic ease in his posture, the quiet confidence of a man taking care of someone he cared about.In three years of marriage, the one time Charlotte asked William to buy pads for her, he told her to order a large box online so she would not have to bother him again. In the end, he had his female assistant pick some up and drop them off at the house.And now, after everything that happened between them, he had still left her at home and rushed out to personally buy pads for Annie.Charlotte’s vision blurred. Her knees nearly gave out.“Charlotte!”Michelle reached her just in time and steadied her.William turn

What Charlotte wanted was simple. She wanted a marriage that belonged to just two people. She wanted a husband who did not have to be perfect, but who needed to be clean in every way, a man who belonged to her and only her.William was not that man anymore.His heart wasn’t pure anymore.And he wasn’t either.No matter how much she had loved him, no matter how deeply she had cared, she could not accept him now. She could not choose him anymore.Still shaking, Charlotte picked up her phone and called Frank. When he answered, she forced her voice to stay steady. “Dad, I want to go home.”Frank did not ask questions. He only asked where she was. After she gave the address, he hung up.Michelle knew then that Charlotte was truly serious. She immediately called Mandy, asking her to come to the hospital.Michelle sat at the edge of the bed and gently took Charlotte’s hand. “Charlotte, do you regret marrying William?”Charlotte’s lashes trembled violently. She squeezed Michelle’s han

William closed his eyes in exhaustion.Charlotte had always been a dutiful daughter. She never let her parents worry and only ever shared the good parts of her life. The fact that she called them today and asked them to take her home meant she was preparing to finally tell them about William’s affair. Frank and Julia loved her fiercely, and once they knew the truth, they would never allow William to take her back.After Charlotte returned to her parents’ house, Julia immediately went to tidy up her old bedroom while Frank headed out to buy groceries. Charlotte forced herself to calm down and helped where she could.That evening, Frank was cooking in the kitchen while Charlotte and Julia were outside washing vegetables. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke.“Dad, Mom, I am planning to separate from William.”Frank froze mid-stir, lowering his head even further. Julia had already guessed as much.“Charlotte, be honest with me. Does William have someone else?”Char
