Chapter 14

She had also mentioned countless times the places she wanted to visit. Zac never cared.

The trips she had dreamed of taking with him two years ago?

They were still just dreams.

So this was what it felt like to be truly cared for.

Charlotte no longer hesitated. She gave Sean the address to Zac’s villa.

Sean asked, “You’ll be home tomorrow morning, right? I’ll have someone bring the car over then.”

“Yeah, I will,” Charlotte replied.

Not long after she hung up, Zac returned with Wendy by his side.

As they walked in, Charlotte was lounging in the downstairs living room, watching TV.

It didn’t react

She caught a glimpse of them from the comer of her eye but

Zac said nothing either.

Instead, it was Wendy who broke the silence first.

“Miss Riley, we meet again”

Charlotte remained sprawled on the couch, her posture relaxed, her gaze fixed on the TV. She didn’t even acknowledge her.

Wendy didn’t seem the least bit bothered. She strolled over with a smile, settling onto the couch. “Miss Riley, is this the kind of thing you usually watch?”

Zac tossed out a casual “I’m taking a shower” and headed upstairs, without specifying who he was talking to

The moment he left, Wendy’s smile vanished, She looked at Charlotte, her voice laced with contempt.

saw the video, didn’t you? Zac loves me.”

Charlotte couldn’t care less about who Zac loved. Without looking away from the TV, she nodded lazily.

“Mm. Got it.”

Her completely indifferent attitude made Wendy’s expression twist in irritation.

“you’re good at pretending to be calm,” Wendy sneered. “Let’s see how long you can keep up the act.”

Charlotte finally glanced at her, voice cold. “Not as good as you

Wendy let out a sharp laugh, then got up and sauntered toward the stairs.

“Zac, let’s shower together,” she called our

Just before disappearing upstairs, she tumed and flashed Charlotte a triumphant smile but Charlotte never even spared her a glance.

During dinner, Zar and Wendy sal on one side of the table,

Charlotte sat alone on the other

The housekeeper, Mrs. Zimmer, placed the last dish on the table. “That’s all for tonight.”

Charlotte glanced at the food and frowned. “Mrs. Zuer, why is it all vegetables today?”

There wasn’t a single meat dish.

Everything on the table was green lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, broccoli

Zac responded blandly, “Wendy likes vegetables.‘

Charlotte let out a low chuckle. “Vegetables, huh?” She stirred the greens with her utensils and raised an eyebrow, “Or is this your way of telling me I’ve been replaced?”

“Loves her vegetables, huh?” Charlotte let out a low chuckle. “Or is this just your way of telling me I’ve been made a fool of?”

“Charlotte Riley!” Zac snapped, his expression darkening, “Watch your mouth! You can eat whatever you want, but don’t go running your mouth like this.”

Charlotte’s gaze dropped to his neck where a glaring red mark stood out against his skin.

Wendy had put it there on purpose, just to make sure Charlotte saw it.

Charlotte let out a slow, amused laugh, her eyes sparkling with mockery. “Did I say anything untrue? You’d know that better than I would.”

Zac’s face twisted in frustration. “Eat it or don’t. Whatever. Also, Wendy doesn’t have a place to stay, so she’ll be living here for the next few days. You might as well get used to eating vegetarian–because from now on, we’ll be having a lot more of it. If you can’t deal with it, cook your own damn food.”

There was a housekeeper. It wouldn’t have killed him to have her make a few extra dishes

Charlotte knew that Zac wasn’t even a fan of vegetarian food

This wasn’t about meals.
