The parts of his arms and neck not covered by his sleeves were peppered with bruises. His skin was rough, and his beard was unkempt. Compared to the refined and sensual appearance he had once sported, he was like a completely different person.

If it wasn’t for that pair of uniquely blue eyes, Gwendolyn would not have recognized him.

Through the glass panel that separated them, Charles met her

gaze and picked up the phone.

Mirroring his actions, Gwendolyn brought the phone to her ear.

“Long time no see, Gwen. You look surprised. Have you forgotten me already?‘

“What do you want for your information?” Gwendolyn swiftly calmed down and regained her composure.

Charles applauded. “Quick to catch on as usual. That’s the Gwen I love. It doesn’t take much effort to converse with you.”
