Chapter 163
Zac returned to his newly purchased apartment, feeling completely shattered.
It was right next door to Charlotte’s
The moment he stepped inside, he went straight to the bathroom, turned on the shower, and stood beneath the scalding spray.
Over and over, he scrubbed his body, his skin turning red from the rough friction.
“Charlotte_Charlotte_,”
Her name spilled from his lips like a desperate prayer, his voice breaking. Tears mingled with the shower’s spray, streaming down his face.
“I’m not dirty. I’m clean now, I’m clean. Please, don’t look at me with disgust.” |
Charlotte returned to her room, but her mind couldn’t calm down
The recording Zac had played was clearly Judy’s voice.
Had she really been snatched right out from under the police’s watch? Why hadn’t Sean told her about this?
And tonight, he said he had something urgent to deal with. Was it really about judy?
Restless, Charlotte tossed and tumed in bed, unable to sleep.
After agonizing for what felt like forever, she finally gave in and called Sean.
The call rang for a long time with no answer
Then it automatically disconnected.
For the first time, Sean hadn’t answered her call,
A fresh wave of andery gripped her.
Lying there, she stared at the ceiling, scenes from over a month ago replaying in her mind.
Charlotte remembered the way Judy looked at Sean, her gaze burning with an obsessive intensity.
She could still see the moment judy charged Lor comfor
with a knife, her expression twisted with rage. It happened right when she was in Sean’s arms, bolding onto him
How could a woman become so consumed by love that she would resort to murder?
Even if she had loved Sean for ten years without getting anything in return, would that crally drive her to such madness?
Was there something more behind all of this?
Her mind replayed the scene of Sean being stabbed, Judy’s emotional breakdown afterward was ended in her memory.
Jady was crying and laughing like someone who had lost her mind. She seemed genuinely terrified and regretful, not like someone pretending. It looked like she was truly afraid of losing Sear
Charlotte’s mind drifted to that day when Sean was stabbed.
Even though he was injured, his own life hanging by a thread, he still wiped her tears away, comforting her and gently telling her not to cry
He was so close to death, yet his eyes were filled only with relief, thankful that he was the one who got lunt instead of her
Her Sean loved her so much. How could be possibly betray her?
Zar was just trying to drive a wedge between them.
Sean had risked his life for her, towing limself in front of a knife without a moment’s hesitation.
How could his love be fake?
for that recording, even if it was real, it was clearly edited, cut at the beginning and end, which meant it proved nothing.
Only Judy’s voice could be heard. Sean’s voice wasn’t there at all.
entire purpose in playing that recording was to make her doubt Sean. She couldn’t let herself tall for his tricks.
Seanhad said he was dealing with something ingent and would explain everything to her in person afterward.
All she needed to do was wait
She couldn’t let Zac’s few words shake
He claimed Judy was pregnant. But even if she was, how could he prove it was Sean’s child?
Zac was trying to make her overthink, trying to plant the idea in her mind that þady’s child was Sean’s.
She wouldn’t let him succeed.
with that thought, Chadotte gradually calmed down. Her racing thoughts settled, and her ansietyeased
Taking a deep breath, Charlotte reached for her phone and typed a message in Sean.
“Sean, I tried calling you, but you didn’t pickup. Is everything okay? Are you dealing with something serious? When you’re done, please call me tomorrow. I’m going to bed now. Goodnight”
