He carefully thought back to all the times he had been with Charlotte. They had spent time alone, but it seemed they had never actually been on a date.
Seeing Joe's expression change, Charlotte guessed the answer.
She frowned, "Was our relationship not good before? Or was it a business marriage?"
"No, it seems we were both too busy to go on a proper date," Joe said helplessly.
Charlotte looked thoughtfully out the window and nodded.
Joe took Charlotte to an island.
He led her familiarly to a seaside villa and took her inside.
"What is this place?" Charlotte looked at Joe in confusion.
Joe smiled faintly, "This is your island."
"My island?" Charlotte's eyes widened in shock. Did she actually own an island?
Joe remained silent, although Love Island had better scenery, the place left a deep psychological scar on him, so he didn't want to go there before Charlotte fully recovered.
As a compromise, he brought Charlotte to the island she owned.
He gave some instructions to Terry, the housekeeper, and then took Charlotte upstairs, "You rest here for a bit. I'll take you out to sea later."
Seeing his mysterious manner, Charlotte simply nodded.
It wasn't until the sky began to darken that Charlotte woke up.
Groggily, she saw a figure sitting beside her bed. She was about to scream for help but realized that the person was Joe.
"Why are you sitting here?" Charlotte asked curiously.
"I saw you sleeping so soundly, I thought I'd let you get some good rest. It's not often that you can let go and relax," Joe said with a smile to Charlotte.
Charlotte paused and realized that the nap she had just taken was the most comfortable one she had in a while.
"I've had enough rest, you..." Charlotte hesitated, looking at Joe.
