Regret Novel 74

Chapter 74

Charlotte was momentarily taken aback when the man finally arrived, late as ever.

Evander stopped in front of them, barely glancing at her before turning to Hiram. “I didn’t bring a proper gift, so consider this a substitute.”

He handed over an envelope.

It looked thin and light, but Charlotte knew there wasn’t cash inside. Whatever it was, it had to be worth far more.

Hiram declined, shaking his head. “No need, really. My birthday’s already over.”

Charlotte shot him a surprised look.

In the past, he’d never once turned down anything Evander gave him.

Since Hiram refused, Evander didn’t push it. “Alright. If you change your mind, let me know.”

Without warning, he grabbed Charlotte by the wrist and led her away before she could react.
