Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 333 Anna Appears

Carter's sudden action caught me off guard. He wasn't usually impulsive. Even in private, he was always gentle and patient with me. This behavior was completely unlike him. As the car door clicked shut, he finally released me.

I studied his expression carefully. "Carter, is something bothering you?"

He touched my lips with a faint smile. "Just checking if you've been sneaking drinks."

It dawned on me, and I quickly explained, "I only had three sips-not even half a glass. I know my limits and wouldn't risk drinking too much in public."

"Did anything happen tonight? Did Yael say something to you?"

"He was just overly friendly, nothing unusual. But Sadie..."

I recounted what had happened, unable to hold back a laugh as I pictured Sadie's expression when she paid the bill.

"It's all Bill's fault."

I sighed. "Everything is fake, except for his love for his daughter. That's why he only took back the material possessions and left Sadie with a chance."

Carter nodded. "This scandal is huge for the company. Given our partnership, if something like this happens, the stock will drop, and the market value will disappear. Not only will it make him a joke, but it'll also hurt the company. Bill's a businessman, so revealing the truth won't benefit him at all."

"Monica is probably still stuck with her old lover," I said. "I wonder if the man she's loved forever will ever marry her."

"If a man truly wants to marry you, no matter how many lifetimes you live, he'll find a way," Carter replied.

I smiled softly. "I know I'm lucky to have you."

Being with Carter felt like a true blessing.

Monica never had a chance when she was young, and now, in her older years, it was even less likely.

I could see her life wasn't going well, and Sadie had nothing left to hold onto except Ashley.
