Chapter 13
I rubbed my palm vigorously,almost scraping the skin off.
Charles’s eyes blazed with fury. “Disgusting? Wasn’t it thrilling when you begged me like a dog in bed?”
He roughly grabbed me. “If you want to have sex,just say so. Why play hard to get? Let’s go to the car, I’ll satisfy you
I couldn’t break free,and as his lips were about to meet mine,I raised my knee and hit him in the groin.
“Ugh–Charlotte Edwards,you!” Charles was seething,“Fine,let’s see how you get down the mountain by yourself!TM
With that,he stormed off,getting into his car and speeding away.
Yellow Mountain was on the outskirts,and the road was smooth all the way up to the church.
I had taken a taxi up the mountain.
It was my fault for not checking the weather forecast yesterday; in just a short time,the rain started pouring down.
I opened the taxi app,but of course, there wasn’t a single driver willing to accept the ride.
I was planning to wait out the rain in the church when a familiar black SUV broke through the rain and stopped in
front of me.
Rogerio opened the car door and walked over,the umbrella he held tilted completely over my head.
I was a little surprised. “Rogerio,what are you doing here?”
“I’ve been following you since you left. I guessed you were meeting Charles,and I wasn’t at ease.”
Rogerio casually draped his coat over my shoulders,and it still carried his warmth.
It had been so long since anyone showed me this kind of care,and my heart felt warm.
“It’s okay,I can handle it. By the way,Rogerio,did you just run into Charles?”
Rogerio ‘s expression was disdainful. “Not only did I run into him, he even tried to stop my car.”
My heart tightened. “Are you okay?”
“That car of Charles’s, with its flashy looks,dared to mess with my customized off–road vehicle?”
Rogerio spoke with an air of calm arrogance,which made his mature,strong features show a rare childishness.
For a moment,time seemed to rewind,and I seemed to see the young boy who had bought me lollipops behind my
back.
Rogerio picked up the divorce papers on the ground. “Charles doesn’t agree?”

“Vesh” I said irritally. “I don’t get it. If we’re already disgusted with each other, why is he still holding on?”
“Just a greatly betard who wants it both ways”
Bogeris finished cursing. then carefully observed my reaction.
When he saw that I wasn’t upset a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
“Charles arranged this meeting in such a remote place, it was clearly planned to make things difficult for you.”
“That’s not it.” I smiled, “I used to come here with him for dates.”
Rogerio ‘s face darkened. “What’s there to do here?”
“Just walk around burn some incense at the church,things like that.”

Rogerio suddenly grabbed my hand. “Let’s go,I want to go to the church and pray too.”
It had been two years since Charles and I had come here,but the church’s abbot still recognized me right away.
“Your complexion is rosy, and your mind is clear. You must have found true fortune,congratulations.”
Rogerio returned the greeting. “Holy Father,how much did Charles donate to the church? I’ll donate one hundred times that.”
Rogerio with his wealthy demeanor,not only topped the list of donors,but also received two bodhi bead bracelets as extra gifts.
He slipped one onto my wrist. “Rebecca,no more storms in our lives from now on.”
I was fiddling with the beads when I glanced up and saw Charles returning.
More precisely,Charles and Olivia.
It seemed that when Charles came up the mountain to “apologize” to me,Olivia had been waiting at the foot of the
mountain.
What is this?
A power struggle between the legitimate wife and the mistress?
A wave of disgust rose in my heart,and I actively linked arms with Rogerio. “Let’s go quickly.”
Charles quickly walked over. “Mr. White,can I take a few minutes of your time to talk?”
“No,” Rogerio rejected firmly.
“Mr. White…” Olivia’s voice was dripping with sweetness, almost begging, “Please give me a chance.”
“No chance.” Rogerio ‘s voice turned even colder.

Olivia was choked up.
Charles turned to me and asked, “Charlotte Edwards,do you think there’s a misunderstanding between us?”
He gave me a long–missed.gentle smile,and his pupils reflected my shadow,as though I were still his whole world.
I froze for a moment,and my body reacted faster than my thoughts, almost instinctively nodding
Rogerio pinched the back of my neck.
I jolted,nearly slapping myself in the face.
Charles’s smile quickly faded. “Charlotte Edwards,don’t forget what you promised me.”
