Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back (Charlotte and Arthur)

Chapter 5 Receiving a Photo

Back then, she’d run to him with hugs and kisses, always eager to hear about his life at Harrison Villa. Now her words cut like a knife.

Julius had never really enjoyed her attention.

Her constant hovering and meddling irritated him. He even thought her excessive concern for him was disrespectful to his grandparents.

As Julius pulled away, Charlotte’s love never wavered – her eyes always full of warmth when she looked at him.

But now she’d just said she didn’t want him as a son.

Julius stood there speechless, his face hardening by the second.

Given the choice, he’d pick Sarah over her any day.

Sarah – the graceful, elegant ballerina who dazzled audiences – would make a much better mother figure.

Julius pushed away from the table and stormed upstairs, leaving his dinner untouched.

Before her accident, Charlotte would have chased after him, trying to make things right. His feelings had always come first.

But this time, she just watched him go, clutching her fork tightly.
