Cold husband burning regret

Regret Novel 47

Chapter 47

Charlotte’s mind flashed to Hans. Other than that mother and son, she couldn’t think of anything else that could make Evander lose control like this.

“You think I’d hurt a child?” Her laugh was cold, almost mocking. “Mr. Howard, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Evander grabbed her wrist, yanking her roughly. “Wasn’t it you who bought the cake?”

His grip was unrestrained, pressing painfully into her skin.

Charlotte instinctively tried to pull away, her nose stinging. “Tricia asked me to pick it up. Yes, I bought the cake–so what?”

Evander’s arm shot out, dragging her closer until only inches separated them. “Hans is allergic to chocolate. Did you know that cake almost killed him?”

For a moment, the pain in her arm was forgotten.

She froze, her expression dazed. “…Tricia never told me.”

“You’re still lying.”

Evander’s eyes hardened to ice as he advanced. Rage twisted his features–he looked as if he might snap her neck then and there. “Tricia already told you about Hans’s allergy. You really think a mother wouldn’t know what her own son is allergic
