Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary) novel Chapter 1334

“All right. I understand.” Ben raised his head to look at Lupine, who was getting closer and closer to him, and he snapped back to reality. “Tell Mr. Nacht that I'll be back soon.”

“Oh, okay.”

After ending the call, Marino cast a tentative glance at Zachary and said, “Ben said he's going to come back soon.”

“Okay.” Zachary then made a dismissive gesture.

With a lowered head, Marino left, closing the door behind him quietly.

In the dark, Zachary continued to smoke as he mulled over his emotions. He had instantly realized that Charlotte had asked Lupine to invite Ben out so that she could sound him out.

Ben was a smart man; he should have realized that as well.

Nevertheless, he still went.

Perhaps it was because he could not reject Lupine, or perhaps he wanted to use that way to relieve his guilt in leaking out the secret so that Charlotte could go back to the Nacht family.

Regardless of everything, by meeting Lupine, Ben was prepared to become a traitor.

Therefore, Zachary had told Marino to make the call and tell Ben that he knew he had gone to meet Lupine.

Even now, Marino still had trouble comprehending what they meant. On the other hand, Ben understood them immediately.

If Zachary knew that he had gone out in secret to meet Lupine, that meant he knew about what he and Lupine were about to do. If he were to say the wrong words, then he would no longer be able to return to the Nacht family.

That was why Ben had snapped back to reality and regained his rationality.

Lupine's little trick was bound to fail.

In terms of scheming, Charlotte could never win against Zachary.

Nevertheless, he was delighted to find out that she had done all those to figure out what was wrong with him.

That meant that she was worried about him.

“Ben!” “Lupine!”

It was the first time the two had met in private, let alone on a dark night like that.

They could not help but feel nervous and shy.

“Not anymore.” Now, Lupine did not know what she could do to make him talk. The jacket trick had been something Morgan taught her.

“H-Have you had your dinner?” Ben asked.

“Yes.” Lupine rolled her eyes. This guy's just asking a bunch of silly questions.

“Then, can I know why you've asked me to come out?” Ben's heart raced as he gazed at her.

“Must I have a reason to invite you here?” Lupine huffed out.

“No, no,” Ben denied. “I'm just worried if anything has happened to you. I hope I can help you out.”

“You're finally talking,” Lupine commented as her mood brightened up. In a shy voice, she muttered, “There's nothing, really. It's just that we're living close by now, and since there's nothing going on for my side, I wanted to meet you.

Ben's heart skipped a beat when he heard her words. “You're right. We've never gotten a chance to sit down and have a nice chat by ourselves.”

“Now we do.” Lupine then mustered her courage to look into his eyes. “If you're free, you can come and look for me.”

“How could I possibly be free? I'm so busy all the time,” Ben blurted out before he realized what he had said. “Still, I'll come and meet you when I have the time.”
