Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 550

Looking at her changed figure in the mirror, Charlotte felt deep anxiety. She feared James would find her repulsive.

She'd chosen clothes to hide her belly and applied careful makeup. When James arrived, the sight of his sharp features made her throat tight.

"James, it's been so long. I've missed you so much." She stared at him intently.

James set down two large thermal containers. "Your mother and mine made these. They're worried sick about you and the baby, afraid you're not eating well. My mother wants to send you fresh soup every day."

Charlotte ignored the food, gripping his hand emotionally. "James, did you miss me?"

Faced with her loving gaze, James found himself speechless. He avoided her eyes, pulling his hand away. "How have you been?"

Charlotte watched him painfully. His eyes revealed too much - she wasn't stupid.

She could see his concern was genuine, but his love wasn't.

"I'm okay, James. Just... hard not seeing you every day."

What hurt more were her midnight dreams of Sarah and James together.

Their intimacy, as if they'd never divorced.

Unfortunately, the matter was controlled by an immovable force in the East Coast - Zachary Reynolds.

"James, I know I was wrong. I'll do better."

She grew increasingly agitated, hating his cold demeanor.

James nodded, pouring the soup into a bowl and pushing it toward her. "Drink this while it's hot. Mother said I must take back at least one empty container - proof you've finished a bowl."

His nurturing tone finally eased her tension. She clung to his arm. "James, I've been having nightmares alone here. Every time, I long for you."
