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

Chapter 44 Just a Kiss

Charlotte clenched her fists, barely stopping herself from pushing Arthur’s hand away.

Arthur’s gaze dropped to the lipstick stain on his thumb. A shadow flashed in his eyes as he spoke calmly, “You think one apology will erase two hundred million dollars? Who do you think I am? A charitarian?”

Charlotte asked, “Then tell me, what do you want us to do?”

Arthur pulled out a tissue and wiped off the lipstick stain. His movements were casual, but his eyes never left her.
