hapter 13 But how could that hesitation count as proof ? It was nothing more than a superficial act for her benefit , a façade , and his previous indifference was the true reflection of his thoughts .

Yes , she still had a gambling father and a sick mother , and now , without a job , perhaps after some time , she would return to him . Meanwhile , others , not wanting to push his buttons , changed the subject . Have you heard ? Windt Corporation recently appointed a new CEO . I heard its the eldest daughter of the Windt family . She had been away for a few years , trying to develop herself , but now , shes back and immediately took charge of Windt Corporation . After all , shes the only child of the Windt family , so those assets will definitely end up in her hands . Even though it was an external appointment , she was already groomed for the role . You know , with the same surname Windt , yet the difference in peoples fates is huge . Charlie wasnt interested in this topic and didnt participate . He just sat quietly in the corner , surrounded by more and more empty bottles . He wasnt really listening , so he didnt catch the part about the eldest Windt daughter being away for self improvement and recently returning home . He didnt even consider the possibility that the note Charlotte had left when she left him might have been truthful . By the time the gathering ended , it was late at night . Charlie had drunk too much , and his steps were unsteady . Edward and the others , seeing that he couldnt stand , were uneasy about letting him go alone and called Barbara . By the time she arrived , only Edward remained with Charlie . Seeing her , he quickly handed over the responsibility to her . Wife , Im leaving him to you . Please make sure he gets home safely .

Barbara lay quietly in his arms , not moving , but a dark glint flashed in her eyes . Charlotte , again , it was always Charlotte If only she could disappear from this world altogether . The next day , Charlie woke up with a severe hangover , his head pounding . He tried to raise his hand to press against his head but suddenly realized there was someone else in his arms . He lowered his head and saw a head of meticulously curled hair . Before his mind caught up , he instinctively called out , Charlotte ? But as soon as the words left his mouth , he realized something was off . Charlotte was clearly still in H City and hadnt come back . Moreover , she had decisively broken up with him a few days ago . How could she be here now ? Especially with the curls Charlotte never had curled hair . A sense of unease rose in his chest . He gripped the person tightly and shoved them off the bed .
