Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 104

When Violet withdrew her gaze, a hidden trace of complacency flashed in her eyes.

Then Theo followed.

Beryl was embarrassed, and so was Yvette, whose face changed. But they had to swallow their anger.

After the figures of Violet and Theo disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Beryl grasped her mother’s arm and inquired, “Mom, did I… did I say something wrong?”

“We’re screwed. We will live in Violet’s house from now on,” lamented Yvette, whose expression reflected a sense of discouragement with no light in her eyes.

Early in the morning, in a sea-view villa.

Michael was retching in front of the sink, with his stomach churning. This behavior was particularly incongruous with his established persona.

Charlotte approached Michael and leaned over with her toothbrush in her mouth. Her eyes widened as she uttered some vague words, “Are you okay? What’s wrong with you?”

It took Michael a long time to come to his senses, and he turned around to look at Charlotte.

The girl’s mouth was full of foam. “Did you have a bad stomach for the noodles last night?”

“As you wish,” answered Michael after a moment’s thought. Then he gave Charlotte a gentle grab on the shoulder and lifted her to step aside before making his way out of the bathroom.

“Hey!” Charlotte came back to her senses and hurried out, “Where are you going?”

“Go to work,” answered Michael without looking back.

“Are you leaving without breakfast?” Charlotte rushed to the living room door and shouted at his back, “Breakfast is ready!”

Michael opened the car door and stopped to look at her. “It’s too late. You can have it by yourself. Don’t run around. You can be taken care of here. Don’t forget to apply medicine on time.” With that, he got in the car and drove away.

Looking at the leaving car, Charlotte let out a sigh.

Zachary’s medicine was efficacious, as the gauze on her forehead had been removed and replaced with only a big band-aid. With the bangs in front of her down, no trace of any injury could be seen at all.

After brushing her teeth, Charlotte had breakfast alone and felt extremely depressed.

After leaving the Yancey manor, Jack drove straight to the company.

“How is Charlotte?” Jack asked when he caught sight of Michael.
