CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 728

"Let’s just call it fate that we aren’t meant to be," the fake Charlotte said, her voice laden with false sorrow. "Everything… let’s do it all the way Suzy suggests."

Her pitiful act was abruptly interrupted by Timothy. "I’m asking you—are you really Charlotte or not?"

The question left the fake Charlotte momentarily stunned. It took her several seconds to recover. "Why would you ask me that? Did Suzy tell you I’m a fake?"

She turned toward Suzy, who stood nearby with her arms crossed, silently watching the performance unfold.

"Suzy, no matter how much you don’t want your father to marry me, you shouldn’t stoop to this, should you?"

Timothy’s agitation only grew. "So, what you’re saying is—you’re the real Charlotte?"

"We’ve been together for so many years. Don’t you know whether I’m real or not?" Fake Charlotte cried, her voice trembling with emotion.

"I thought your feelings for me were real, that no matter what anyone said, you would never doubt me. But it seems I was wrong. You don’t trust me at all."

"Charlotte, don’t be upset. I didn’t mean to doubt you," Timothy said hurriedly.

"It’s just… Suzy played me a recording of the conversation you had with her earlier…"

"And you believed her over me?" Fake Charlotte’s tears flowed more freely.

"Of course, you’d believe her—she’s your biological daughter, after all. Why would you trust me instead?"

"That’s not true! I didn’t believe her. You’re the person I trust most in this world. How could I not believe you?" Timothy tried to reassure her.

"I know anyone else might lie to me, but you never would!"

"If you truly believed me, you wouldn’t have asked me that question!" she said, her voice laced with grievance.

"Don’t try to sweet-talk me now!"

"I do believe you! I swear, I’ll never doubt you again!" Timothy was so flustered he nearly swore on his life. "If I ever doubt you again, then may I—"

"Stop it!" she cried, covering his mouth dramatically. "Don’t say such things! What would I do if something happened to you?"
