Chapter 137 Honey, I Don't Want It Anymore

Ashley's gaze dropped to the hands I was holding with Carter. Perhaps he was caught off guard, questioning how Zory-the woman who once worshiped him with an almost obsessive love-could have let him go so quickly, without a second thought. Men are creatures of pride. The more you dote on them, the less they seem to appreciate it.

But when you stop paying attention, they suddenly become desperate to win you back.

His eyes traveled from my hand to my face, as if searching for any sign of pretense.

If Zoey had been here, she might have lost her cool.

But now, the soul inhabiting this body was mine, and I didn't know him. There was no need to react.

Carter, always indifferent, wasn't the type to strike up a conversation. Even sitting down, his presence alone commanded respect, making Sadie hesitant to stir up any trouble.

After all, Bill had wanted Sadie to marry into the family Anyone he thought was a suitable match was bound to be impressive, except for one flaw-Carter's disability.

Sadie, being as shallow as ever, had never even met Carter. As soon as she heard about his disability, she pushed Zoey to the forefront, believing the chance was hers.

Sadie felt uncomfortable, but she hid it well, offering only a polite greeting,

Carter had assigned me a seat right next to Sadie. She thought it was merely a coincidence and didn't think much of it, but soon, she began having Ashley feed her fruit, perhaps to show off. Ashley instinctively glanced at me. In the past, Zoey's moods were unpredictable, often triggered by Ashley.

When Sadie provoked her, Zoey's temper would flare up, sometimes leading to angry outbursts. Zoey was known for her violent reactions when enraged-breaking things, yelling, acting recklessly. To others, she appeared unhinged, and that frightened Ashley.

Today, Sadie was playing the same old tricks, but she was far from Anna's level of skill.

I ignored them and took the fruit platter the server offered. I speared a piece of fruit with a fork and fed it

To Carter.

Whatever I offered, he ate without hesitation. Over time, we had grown more in sync.

The two women in the background faded into obscurity.

When the auction began, I glanced at Carter.
