Wife Back 464
Chapter 464 You Are Heartless
Charlotte stood up, gesturing to the others, then walked out the door and said, "Madam Harrison, I'm fine now. How about you? How's your health recently?"
Roxanne smiled slightly, "I'm the same as always. But I do know that you and Arthur have completed the formalities. Charlotte, I really like you. You deserve someone better. That brat doesn't deserve you. Once you get the divorce certificate, don't even think about going back to him, no matter what he does."
Charlotte couldn't help but smile, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Roxanne continued, "When you have time, come to Harrison Villa for a meal. Now that you've divorced that brat, it'll be hard to see you in the future."
Her tone carried a hint of sadness.
Charlotte couldn't stand it when Roxanne spoke like that. She said, "I'll come over in a few days, Madam Harrison. Don't worry. Although I no longer have anything to do with him, you're still my friend. I'll still visit you often."
Roxanne smiled, "Then that's best. We'll just mind our own business. That brat has nothing to do with us."
"Exactly." Charlotte's expression softened, her eyes and smile radiating warmth and gentleness. Her voice was light and kind.
Arthur stood at the end of the hallway, a cigarette between his fingers, watching her with a darkened face as she spoke.
After a few more words, she hung up the phone, put it away, and turned toward the private room. But just then, a server carrying hot soup walked past her. She didn't notice and bumped into the server as she turned, causing the soup to spill.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm, pulling her away. The hot soup didn't spill on her, not a single drop. Instead, the person who pulled her away got some of it splashed on them.
The server, scared, quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to..."
"It's fine."
Arthur flicked his hand and motioned for the server to leave.
Charlotte blinked at him, then said, "Thank you."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she turned to walk away.
"I've been burned."
But then, she heard his deep voice from behind, and she sensed a hint of grievance in his tone.
Charlotte doubted her ears. She slightly turned her head and glanced at his arm.
The sleeve of his right arm was wet, and he was rolling it up, revealing a red, burned forearm.
"You should go to the hospital and get that treated," she said, then coldly turned her gaze away.
"You're so heartless."
Once again, his voice came from behind her, this time carrying a touch of resentment.
Charlotte turned to look at him. "What else do you expect me to do? Call an ambulance for you? There's no need for that. Ambulances are in short supply. Let those who really need it use them, alright?"
Arthur was speechless.
She was so indifferent, always
keeping her distance from him, net
ang it impossible for him
to g get any closer.
But he took a step forward, saying, "Just put on some burn ointment."noveldrama
At that moment, the server hurried over with the burn ointment. "Sir, your injury needs to be treated."
"Well, here's the person who'll put
ointment on you. She's the one who burned you. Let her do it." Charlotte then
no toward the server and t
turned to leave.
But she didn't get very far. Her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"Put it on for me." Arthur's tone was unexpectedly serious. "I don't want another woman touching me."
The server was speechless.
