Chapter 148: Misunderstandings and Jealousy
The way he looked at her stirred ripples in Charlotte’s heart.
Why was he looking at her like this?
In a past life, if he had gazed at her with such deep affection, she would have been so happy that she couldn’t sleep.
But in this life, she only felt disgust…
“If you don’t let go,” Charlotte pressed her lips, her expression cold, “you can forget about seeing me again.”
soon as these words were spoken, Benjamin’s face changed instantly. He hesitated for a moment, and ultimately slowly released Charlotte’s hand.
Charlotte immediately pulled her hand back and gave him a cold glance. “Don’t follow me. I’m going back home.”
Unexpectedly…
Before she could turn around, Benjamin took the lead and reached out, tightly embracing her from the back.
Charlotte was held in his arms just like that.
The tip of her nose was filled with a pleasant fragrance.
In her ears, she could hear Benjamin’s strong and forceful heartbeat.
Charlotte’s breath slightly paused.
In the previous life, there was no such embrace between her and Benjamin. Most of the time, she would open her arms to embrace him, and he wouldn’t respond at all. Now, he took the initiative to hug her. And it was a strong hug.
What on earth was going on with this man…
Benjamin held Charlotte tightly, as if wanting to embed her into his
mory bones.
“Charlotte, Charlotte…” he softly called her name, his voice melodious and deep, resembling a mournful cry.
It was a heart–wrenching sound to hear.
“Give me a chance, let me pursue you, okay?” Benjamin’s thin lips moved slightly, unexpectedly uttering these words.
Charlotte’s eyes trembled.
“No.”
Without any hesitation, she declined.
“I have a husband, Benjamin Harper, if you can’t remember.” Charlotte’s voice was devoid of warmth as she calmly stated this fact to him.
“You don’t love him, I know,” Benjamin replied with conviction.
Charlotte’s eyes flickered, a touch of anger mixed in her tone, “What do you
know?”
Benjamin remained silent.
He certainly knew that in their previous life, even when Max pursued her fervently, she remained unmoved.
How could she possibly love Max…
“I just know,” he stubbornly repeated.
However, Charlotte suddenly extended her hand with great force and pushed the man in front of her away.
Benjamin was caught off guard, and he involuntarily took two steps back.

“Don’t come looking for me again,” Charlotte said, her eyes lowered, her words icy and indifferent.
After speaking, she turned and walked away.
“Charlotte…” Benjamin’s deep voice echoed from behind, “To accept or reject is your freedom, but pursuing you is my right.”
“I won’t give up.”
I’m reborn for this lifetime, all for you.
Charlotte seemed to have not heard, her footsteps continuing forward.
this moment.
No one noticed that not far away, under the tree’s shade, there was a pure black Rolls–Royce parked.
Max was sitting inside.
From his perspective, he could just see Charlotte and Benjamin through the car window.
He had just returned from Skyview Mountain, and before the car even entered Greenside Garden, he witnessed this exceedingly glaring scene.
He saw two people tightly embracing each other.
They appeared intimate and affectionate.
Max didn’t know how long he had been watching.
This kind of thing, he shouldn’t be looking at.
After all, it’s indecent to look.
But he couldn’t help it, and he watched from start to finish.
Unnamed emotions surged in his heart, and his expression turned extremely cold.
He and Charlotte didn’t marry out of love, but more out of pressure from their parents, pressure from the engagement.
However, from the moment Charlotte married him, he promised in his heart to take care of this woman for a lifetime.
After all, a nineteen–year–old girl suddenly marrying a “disabled” man might feel wronged in her heart.
He couldn’t let her feel wronged.
But other private matters, like Charlotte’s personal feelings, he wouldn’t interfere.
He had even thought that if Charlotte truly liked someone in the future, he would give her freedom…
But now, witnessing her being so intimate with another man, why was his heart so troubled…
Max struggled to suppress the restless emotions within him and coldly commanded Lance, who was in the driver’s seat, “Drive.” Upon hearing this, Lance didn’t dare to delay and immediately started the engine, driving the car into Greenside Garden.
On the other side, Charlotte parked the car at the agreed intersection, waiting for Arnold’s people to come and take it away.
Then, she walked into the entrance of Greenside Garden.
As soon as she stepped into the lobby, she saw Lance pushing Max towards the bedroom.
“Max” Charlotte’s eyes lit up, softly calling out.
But before she could finish speaking, Lance pushed Max into the bedroom.

The door was closed.
Shutting everything out.
Including Charlotte.
Charlotte’s heart suddenly felt a bit empty.
Just now, Max’s complexion didn’t seem good…
Could it be that he was also ill?
Thinking of this, Charlotte immediately headed straight for Max’s bedroom.
fare she could even knock, the door was opened.
Lance walked out from inside, casually closing the door again.
Charlotte couldn’t catch a glimpse of anything inside the bedroom.
“Madam.” Seeing Charlotte suddenly appear at the door, Lance wasn’t surprised. She looked at her with a complex expression and softly said, “It’s so late, Madam, shouldn’t you go back to rest in your room?”
“I’m just checking on Max” Charlotte said straightforwardly.
Her gaze passed Lance and landed straight on the door behind him.
She wanted to see the condition Max was in, whether he was unwell or not…
Lance lowered his eyes slightly and respectfully replied, “Madam, Mr. Foster is already asleep.”
Asleep?
Charlotte’s expression stiffened.
Max clearly…
Had just returned to the bedroom, and now Lance was telling her he was already asleep?
This was clearly an excuse.
Max didn’t want to see her.
Realizing this, Charlotte couldn’t help but clench her fists.
She certainly wouldn’t make a fool of herself.
“I understand,” Charlotte absentmindedly responded and then walked back, looking somewhat lost.
She returned to her own room.
In her mind, the image of Benjamin’s face would appear one moment, and then Max’s figure the next.
Benjamin, why did he suddenly change so much and relentlessly pursue her?
And Max, why would he avoid seeing her?
She had a headache.
In her computer’s email, a message had already been sent.
It was from the Starry Sky Training Camp.
That’s right, tomorrow, Charlotte was supposed to pack her bags and report to the Starry Sky Training Camp.
She would be away for a month.

Just now besides worrying about Max, she actually had a small selfish desire –
She wanted to bid farewell to him.
After all, for the next month, she wouldn’t be able to see him.
Unexpectedly, Max acted like this all of a sudden…..
Charlotte had no choice but to put these thoughts aside for now and focus on packing her bags.
After finishing her packing, she was exhausted and fell asleep.
The next day.
first thing Charlotte did upon waking up was to look for Max.
But she couldn’t believe that even early in the morning, Max would avoid her.
