Chapter 306 Talk to Mrs. Harrison

Jayce asked, “Want to come in for a bit?”

“No.” Charlotte shook her head. “I need to pick Julius up from school.” She remembered she had promised him yesterday. As an adult, she couldn’t go back on her word.

“I see.” Jayce looked a little disappointed. After a brief pause, he suddenly asked, “Can I go with you, then?”

Charlotte instinctively wanted to say no. But when her eyes met him, the deep, somber look in them, paired with his pale complexion, made the words stick in her throat. She thought, “He helped me out so much before. How could gifting a dog possibly repay that?”

“Sure,” she said with a smile and a slight nod.

Jayce took hold of the dog leash. “I’ll take Sunny along.”

Charlotte nodded again. “Okay.”

Without hesitation, Jayce headed for the door. Delia moved to follow him, but he glanced back and said, “You don’t need to come with me.”

She hesitated. “But Mr. Caldwell…”

Jayce cut Delia off firmly. “That’s an order.” His tone toward her was distant and stern.

She then watched as they stepped into the elevator, her face clouding with quiet sadness. She pulled out her phone and called Edward to report the situation.

Edward was irritated and snapped, “I’ve already warned him to stop this nonsense! Why is he still being so unreasonable? I didn’t even call him out for going after that actress for no reason before!”

Delia pressed her lips together before suggesting, “Sir Caldwell, perhaps you should talk to Mrs. Harrison and ask her to keep her distance from Mr. Caldwell. He’s sensitive. Once he realizes he’s been turned down, I’m sure he won’t pursue her anymore.”

She mused, “What a shameless idea, all for the sake of keeping Mr. Caldwell to myself. But… even if it’s a single, simple girl, that would be fine. Why does it have to be Mrs. Harrison? She’s Mr. Caldwell’s good friend’s wife! He can’t make that kind of mistake…”

Edward was silent for a moment before agreeing, “You’re right. Let Charlotte turn him down a few more times.”

Hearing that, Delia let out a small sigh of relief and thought, “Mrs. Harrison is so smart. Once Sir Caldwell talks to her, she’ll understand what she needs to do.”
