Regret Novel 80

The next morning, Lana arrived as usual to deliver breakfast to Charlotte. As she reached the front of the building, she spotted that familiar Rolls–Royce parked by the entrance.

The chauffeur stepped out to open the rear door, and Evander emerged, fastening the buttons on his suit jacket with practiced ease.

Lana gave him a respectful nod. “Good morning, sir.”

Evander’s gaze drifted to the insulated food container in her hands. His tone was calm, almost indifferent. “Who’s the meal for?”
