Chapter 385

“If he’s allowed to have feelings, am I not?” Her voice sharpened. “Over the past six years, I’ve had to swallow far more than he ever did. But apparently, I’m supposed to wait for him, and the moment he has to wait for me, it’s suddenly a tragedy?”

The bodyguard clammed up at once.

These two were terrifying enough when they were silent, but when they started arguing, it was like a standoff between titans.

How Natalie survived this marriage was anyone’s guess.

Evander clenched his jaw, then told the bodyguard to heat up his dinner.

Without another word, the bodyguard grabbed the plate and hurried off to

the kitchen.

Now only Charlotte and Evander were left, staring each other down in the living room. Maybe it was because she was so stubborn, but Evander rubbed his forehead, thumb and fingers splayed. “I wasn’t that hungry earlier, that’s all…”

“If you starve, that’s your problem, not mine.”

Her total lack of sympathy made Evander laugh, unexpectedly.

“What’s so funny?”

He looked her straight in the eye. “You’re angry. That means you still care.”

Charlotte hesitated, then scoffed, tugging at the corner of her mouth. “If anything happened to you, the Howard family would make my life hell. I just hate trouble, that’s all.”

With that, she turned on her heel and disappeared into her room.

Evander pressed his lips together, but the faintest smile lingered.
