Regret Novel 143
“Then I guess I’ll just have to file for divorce.”
“On what grounds?”
Evander stood in front of her, leaning down so his presence filled the space
between them. “Charlotte, what exactly are you planning to cite? Infidelity? Or that supposed illegitimate child you keep hinting at?”
Charlotte met his gaze, unwavering and calm, her face as unreadable as stone. “If there’s no love left in a marriage, what’s the point in keeping it alive?”

Tricia froze in place.
Damn it, caught red–handed!
She pushed the door open, forcing a helpless, wide–eyed look. “Dr. Sterling, I swear I wasn’t trying to listen in. I just heard you were back at the hospital and wanted to congratulate you. But when I saw you and Evander talking, I didn’t want to
