After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 107

:..

Yolanda returned to Moonbay Estate that night, but it was already two in the morning.

When she got home, she ran into Charles, who smelled faintly of alcohol.

She took his coat and hung it on the nearby rack, her tone indifferent. “I spoke to William. He won’t press charges.”

Charles reached out and ruffled her hair. “You came back this late just to handle that?”

“William cares a lot about that kid. It took me some time to convince him,” she replied.

He swept her into his arms, a playful smile on his lips. “Looks like you’re really my perfect wife.”

His sweet words didn’t work on Yolanda anymore. She nudged him upstairs. “Go hit the shower, you reek of booze.”

While Charles was taking a shower, he casually left his phone on the table.

He never bothered to guard himself around Yolanda.

As she listened to the water running in the bathroom, Yolanda picked up his phone and scrolled through the contacts. Just as she expected, Blake Alston’s number was right there.

Blake Alston was a street racer and total troublemaker. After he and Renee met, the gap between their backgrounds couldn’t have been wider, but Renee was totally obsessed with him. That got Charles’s attention –he stepped right in, broke them up, and had Blake sent away for good.

Girls like Renee, raised with every comfort, always went for the wild types. And Blake was exactly her kind of bad news: the fast cars, that face–he had more than enough to make anyone fall hard.

Renee was just twenty at the time. After Charles split them up three years ago, Blake vanished from the picture.

No one knew where he’d ended up, and Charles wasn’t about to waste any effort worrying about him.

Yolanda memorized the number, then tucked the phone right back where Charles had left it.

Just as she was about to step out, Charles came out, still rubbing a towel over his wet hair.

With a towel slung low around his waist and water dripping from his hair, he caught her by the arm and pulled her back to him.

“Hey babe, if you’re feeling down, how about we head out tomorrow, just us two?” Charles suggested playfully.

“You’re actually free?” Yolanda shot back, genuinely surprised.

It was pretty rare for Charles to have any time off.
