Getting out of the car, Charlotte noticed that the sky was shrouded in darkness, with patchy drizzle dropping down from the clouds. It seemed like the sky was despondent to see her leave.
The bodyguards of the Nacht family queued up in two rows as if to send her off.
While lifting her wedding dress, Charlotte slowly strode toward the private jet. Her wedding dress was stained with blood. The bloodstains formed the shape of jimson weeds on her white dress.
As the rain poured down on her, both her hair and dress were soaked.
With her head down, she walked straight ahead nonchalantly.
Following behind her was Mrs. Berry, who was holding tightly onto the silver box.
Meanwhile, Zachary was watching her silently by the car. He wanted to embrace her so badly, but he squelched the urge to do so in the end.
If he were to embrace her then, he knew that he wouldn't be able to let her go anymore.
Gazing at her beautiful back, he thought to himself, this is only but a temporary separation. We'll be reunited again before long. Just wait for me to come and get you!
“Mr. Zachary, let's get into the car,” advised Spencer in a soft tone. “I'll get someone to escort her. All the flight attendants on the private jet are under my command, so you don't need to worry about a thing.”
After hearing Spencer's words, Zachary remained taciturn as his eyes were fixated on Charlotte. He watched as she walked up the airstair, one step at a time. Before heading into the cabin, Charlotte couldn't help but turn around to catch one last glimpse of him.
Zachary wanted to tell her that he would go and get her back soon but decided against it in the end.
The expression he made while glancing at her was screaming the words, “Believe me!”
Gazing at Zachary, Charlotte's tears started flowing out of her eyes again. She was hoping to hear him say something to her, even if it was only a terse statement and yet, he chose to remain silent...
Even though she stared at him in anticipation for a long time, he was still unwilling to say a word. Deprived of hope, she turned around and went into the cabin.
“Charlotte...”
The moment she turned around, Zachary couldn't help calling out to her. Sadly, his voice did not reach her.
Mrs. Berry entered the private jet with the silver box in hand while the bodyguard behind her helped to carry her luggage.
After the aircraft door was shut close, the marshallers signaled everyone to leave the site.
Spencer then dragged Zachary into the car.
