“Don't you think you're super cute back then?”
Zachary handed Charlotte a glass of fruit juice.
“How could you call that cute? I was clearly being an idiot.”
Charlotte sneered as she took it from him and drank the fruit juice.
“I think it's cute.” Zachary picked up the contract. A smile formed at the corner of his lips as he recalled past events. “Sometimes, it's better to be ignorant and live in bliss...”
“I wouldn't have been deceived by you if I was smart.” Charlotte rolled her eyes at him.
“Don't you think it's all meant to be?” Zachary arched a brow. “We're very happy together even though I lied to you. Moreover, you lied to me too. You never told me about the kids.”
“Why would I hand them over when I single-handedly raised the kids? Besides, you were moody and ruthless at the time. How would I know if you will take me out of the picture once you get your hands on them...”
Charlotte was stunned as she blurted out.
That's exactly what happened in the end.
Only thing was, she couldn't bring herself to part with Zachary. Hence, she relented and allowed her kids to return to the Nachts. She really thought that love would conquer all and that Zachary could protect her.
But in the end, the Nachts took her out of the picture and drove her away.
“I'm sorry, it's all my fault.” Zachary knew what Charlotte was thinking. “I know it's no use saying all these now, but I hope...”
“It's a hopeless case.” Charlotte cut him off and said coldly. “Our best bet is to become strangers again.”
Zachary frowned. He was about to say something, but caught himself in the nick of time.
He knew it was no use trying to talk her out of it at the moment.
“Leave me alone. I want to get some shut-eye.” Charlotte didn't want to continue the conversation.
“Ok. I'll wake you up for lunch.”
Zachary turned around, closed the door behind him, and left.
Charlotte felt a little upset as she stared at the signature on the contract.
