Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1329

“Why would you think that I’m using her to annoy you?” Zachary questioned.

Charlotte’s heart sank. “So you’re dating her for real.”

“You seem disappointed,” Zachary pointed out, delighted by the despondent trace in her voice.

“What does that have to do with me?” Charlotte snarled. “You can be with whoever you want to be!”

“What if I tell you that we’re not dating?” Zachary softened his voice as he stepped closer to her. “What if I say that I never had any women other than you? Will you come back to me?”

Charlotte froze. Her heart was in turmoil when she heard those words from him.

She never thought that Zachary would say such things to her anymore; she thought he had already let go of her.

“That’s a no, then.”

Zachary waited for a long time, but he heard nothing from Charlotte. Disheartened, he turned to leave.

“Zachary,” Charlotte called out for him again.

He stopped, cocking his head to the side and waiting for her to speak.

“If you don’t like Nancy, then stop using her,” Charlotte told him in a serious tone. “Don’t be like me. Don’t make a mistake so major it’s unsalvageable.”

“What do you mean by that?” Zachary furrowed his brows. “What mistake have you made?”

“I had agreed to marry Louis due to various external factors back then.” Charlotte was overwhelmed with regret every time she thought about it. “Louis used to be so cheerful and optimistic, but now…”

“Do you mean that you agreed to marry Louis not because of love?” Zachary asked, eager. “What about later on? Did you grow any feelings for him?”

“I’ve always thought of him as my best friend.”

“But, you and him—”

Those words nearly escaped his lips.
