Mysterious Male Escort Is a Mogul

Chapter 1216

Zachary seemed different from the last time Charlotte saw him two months ago.

He had lost a lot of weight, causing his features to become more defined than before. The knuckles on his hands seemed unusually prominent, while his sunken eyes conveyed a hollow, depressed gaze.

Zachary's carefully-styled hair had become long, messy locks, making him seem wilder and more mysterious than ever.

Charlotte's heart ached at the sight.

She felt deeply regretful when she saw his heartbroken gaze.

When Zachary lifted his head, she immediately retracted her gaze. She did not want him to notice that she had been staring.

Steeling herself, Charlotte cooled her demeanor and ignored his gaze. She lowered her eyes and walked further into the room.

Sherlyn exclaimed, “Charlotte! You've arrived just in time. Please explain everything to Mr. Nacht. He seems to have some sort of misunderstanding about Louis, or he might've been too busy and missed the news of your engagement.
