Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 582

Evander listened quietly to the sounds on the other end of the line, a faint smile playing on his lips. He could already picture how beautiful she would look walking toward him in that gown.

“Are you even listening to me?”

Her melodious voice pulled Evander from his momentary daydream. He cleared his throat, feigning a serious tone. “I’m listening.”

After the atelier staff left, Charlotte stood by the window, gazing out at the serene green of the courtyard. “I was saying, if you don’t mind, I could…”

“I’m free all evening,” Evander cut in before she could finish, a smile threatening to break free. “I’ll be waiting for you.”

After the call ended, Evander’s joy was so overwhelming he almost laughed out loud.

She had asked him out!

Did that mean she was planning to stay the night?

At the thought, he buried his face in his hands, his chest heaving as he tried to calm himself.

Damn it, he couldn’t calm down!

He got up and paced around the living room, glancing around the suite. It suddenly felt too plain, like something was missing.

He immediately picked up his phone and called the concierge.

Lilith, passing behind the gossiping employees, pricked up her ears and immediately leaned in. “Who’s getting engaged to whom?”

“Ms. Sterling! You didn’t know?”

“Char—” Lilith clamped a hand over her mouth, glancing around nervously. “Charlotte? She’s getting engaged?”

“Yeah, to that new shareholder we’re working with on the project, Mr. Evander.”

Lilith slowly straightened up, her jaw practically on the floor. So, they were really rekindling things?

She had suspected it, but this was all so sudden!

Then… what about him?

Lilith glanced toward Judd’s office.

Just then, she saw Karin coming out of the office and hurried over. “Karin!”
