Chapter 13
Without another glance at the group behind her,Charlotte strode into the apartment building.
In the evening. Charlotte packed all her personal belongings into two large suitcases and stored them in the walk-in closet.
Her gaze fell on the photo frame of their wedding.in which she was wearing a wedding dress, holding Jaxson’s hand, smiling beautifully, in stark contrast to his
cold,serious face.
Back then,she’d simply thought he just didn’t like smiling.Though it was their only photo together, she’d treasured it.But now, it just seemed ironic.
t wasn’t that he disliked smiling. She just hadn’t been worthy of his smiles.
icking up the photo for one last look,she tossed it into a cardboard box with other discarded items,sealing them away in the closet.
is she exited the bedroom, sounds from the living room caught her attention. Jaxson had returned.
ntering the living area, she saw him hanging his coat on the entryway rack and changing his shoes.
harlotte took a deep breath and approached him.
Don’t you have any explanation for today?” she asked,referring to his decision to move Caroline and her son into Havenwood Apartments, too.
Ixson removed his tie,his eyes cold.”Explain what?
The apartments are close to the hospital.If you can live there,why can’t they?”
e draped the tie over his arm and stared at her.”Charlotte, you got what you wanted. Don’t be petty.”
harlotte was devastated by his words.
he pondered the reason behind the accusation.
1 his eyes, she had already obtained the position of Mrs.
amilton. Any objection to Caroline and her son moving in must seem like petty jealousy to him.
s he turned toward the bedroom, Charlotte stopped him.”We need to talk.”
xson paused and turned back impatiently,his gaze indifferent.”What now?”
Let’s get divorced.” Charlotte slowly removed her wedding ring and clenched it in her palm.”I’m setting you free.”
