Cold husband burning regret

Regret Novel 235

Chapter 235

Gentry lunged forward, ready to throw a punch, but Evander blocked Charlotte with one arm and swung his free fist squarely at Gentry.

Gentry staggered backward and crashed to the floor. He wiped the back of his hand across his nose and saw blood.

“Dr. Moore!” Charlotte broke free from the man behind her and rushed to help, but Evander caught her by the wrist. She spun around and slapped him hard across the face. “Evander, that’s enough!”

Evander’s head turned slightly from the blow, but he simply stared at her, his expression unreadable.

Charlotte hurried over to Gentry and helped him to his feet. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Gentry dabbed away the blood, then shot a glare at Evander. “Men who only know how to control women are the lowest of the low.”

Evander’s brow darkened. “Whatever’s going on between us is none of your business.”

“I think you’re the one who doesn’t belong here,” Gentry retorted. “You show up in a fancy suit with your perfect manners, but for all we know, you’re just some creep who gets off on harassing women.”

Evander adjusted his cufflinks and, oddly enough, let out a short laugh. This was the first time anyone had ever described him like that.

Just then Natalie arrived with a couple of security guards. “Mr. Howard.”

She glanced at Charlotte and Gentry, then gave Charlotte a respectful nod. “Ma’am.” Gentry hesitated, startled by the address. Natalie’s “Ma’am” clearly surprised him as well. He turned to Charlotte. “He’s your…?”

“Ex-husband,” Charlotte answered coolly.
