Cold husband burning regret

Chapter 309

The next day, Charlotte and Vera headed out together, only to bump into Judd as they stepped into the lobby.

“Good morning, Dr. Carstairs,” Vera greeted him politely.

Judd nodded in return.

Just then, his gaze slid past them and landed on Evander, who was leaning against the doorway, arms crossed. “Morning, Mr. Carstairs,” Evander said with a hint of a smile.

Judd’s expression cooled instantly; the tension was obvious.

Charlotte walked toward the elevator, oblivious to the silent standoff unfolding behind her. Only Vera glanced back, unable to resist a peek at

the drama.

What was the term for a scene like this? A showdown?

Once the elevator doors slid shut, Judd finally broke the silence. “No need to be so provocative every time we run into each other, Mr. Howard.”

Judd chuckled, a note of sarcasm in his voice. “Isn’t it obvious? You bought Gardenia Apartments, then moved in next door. What’s next, cameras in the hallway?”
