Chapter 227 He Regretted

1/4

Charlotte was hungry. After finishing dinner, she settled at the table to cal.

Arthur pulled out a chair across from her, glancing over the simple spread of dishes. His mind drifted momentarily.

In the past, she had gone out of her way to perfect meals just for him, eagerly watching for his reaction.

But now, it was clear Charlotte didn’t care whether he liked her cooking or not.

The atmosphere at the table was thick with silence, broken only by the occasional clink of forks against plates.

With so much on her mind, Charlotte hardly touched her food. After a few bites, she set her fork down and picked up her phone to check for messages.

Arthur watched her and finally spoke up, “I can have those trending topics taken down.”

“No need,” Charlotte replied, not bothering to look up.

Taking down the trending topics would only make her seem guilty. She preferred to let her actions speak for themselves.

Arthur frowned, concern creeping into his voice. “If those topics

stay up, you could attract the wrong kind of attention. You’re putting yourself in danger.”

Finally, Charlotte met his gaze, her expression calm.

“Then arrange for a few bodyguards to keep me safe.”

“I’ll get you the protection you need, and I’ll handle the online situation, too,” he assured her.

It was strange.

Tonight, there was no biting sarcasm or sharp retorts between them.

The atmosphere felt oddly harmonious, yet an invisible chasm lingered between them, deep and insurmountable.

“Thanks,” Charlotte said, standing up and heading toward the bedroom.

After a couple of steps, she turned back and added, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”

Arthur’s mood soured instantly.

He stared at her, his expression darkening. “You’re really going to kick me out this late?”

Charlotte shrugged. “You didn’t drink, so you can drive. What, you want me to give you a ride home?”
