Moreover, when he went to Frank's house yesterday, he didn't mention anything about getting back together with Charlotte.
After sorting out his thoughts, Charlie shook his head firmly. "It's impossible. Zachary, you don't know Frank well enough..."
Zachary was too lazy to respond.
He knew Frank's mindset all too well.
Someone who could wait for a person for over 20 years with no hope at all wouldn't easily change targets.
Besides, Charlotte’s best friend, Jane, had come to Jeswood, so, Charlotte had probably come too.
But when Frank heard Jane was in Jeswood yesterday, he didn't show the slightest surprise.
What did that mean?
It meant he already knew.
It meant he was still steadfastly on the same path.
It meant Charlie was in for some bad luck.
Jane, finding Charlie's foolishness amusing, suggested, "How about we make a bet?"
Charlie asked, "A bet on what?"
"A bet... on whether Frank's girlfriend is Charlotte."
"Alright, let's bet on it..." Charlie started with a rhythmic tone but suddenly stopped. "Wait, do you know something? Is Frank really caught in your best friend's trap?"
"What do you mean 'trap'? You'd better watch your words, or you might get slapped..."
"Isn't it a trap?" Charlie didn't take it seriously. "If your best friend wants Frank to take her back, she'd have to beg him with tears and pleading..."
As Frank and I reached the door of the private room, he pushed it open, and the first thing we heard was this.
