Cold husband burning regret

Regret Novel 246

“How do you know about my brother…?” Charlotte froze for a moment. “Did you overhear everything yesterday?”

“I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop,” Judd replied, folding his arms across his chest. “But I didn’t expect your husband to be Evander.”

Charlotte said nothing.

“I can help you.”

“Help me?” Charlotte shot back. “You might help me once, but would you do it a second time? Besides, apart from being your grandfather’s student, we’re not related in any way. Why would you risk crossing the Howard family for me?”

Judd frowned. “Because I can’t stand the Howards. Is that reason enough?”

“That’s your business. My problems–I’ll handle them myself.” Charlotte pulled up the handle of her suitcase and looked at him one more time. “Thank you for telling me all this, but right now, I’m clearer–headed than I’ve ever been.”

She wheeled her suitcase into the elevator.
