He thought, “What’s the point of missing her? She doesn’t even think about you!”
Of course, he couldn’t say that to Julius. Instead, he responded curtly before hanging up the call.
Turning to Charlotte, he said coldly, “Julius came looking for you.”
Charlotte’s face immediately showed surprise. “Where is he?”
“You’ll see when we get there.”
With that, Arthur closed his eyes as if to signal he had no intention of continuing the conversation.
Charlotte’s concern grew. She thought, “Did Julius come here. alone? Or did Jennifer send him?”
When they arrived at the hotel and opened the door to the suite, Charlotte’s heart finally settled as she saw the small figure in the living room.

Julius pursed his lips and shook his head. “I’m not sure. I snuck out. Uncle Barrett brought me here.”
Hearing this, Charlotte frowned. “Julius, that wasn’t the right thing to do. You’re still so young. What if something happened to you? Call your grandmother now and let her know.”

Charlotte softened her tone and patted his head.
“Okay,” Julius agreed, turning to retrieve his phone and dialing Jennifer’s number.
Arthur, standing at the doorway, silently watched the exchange. His thin lips pressed into a hard line.

For a brief moment, he regretted sending Julius to Harrison Villa. If he hadn’t, Charlotte might have developed stronger ties to the family, and Julius wouldn’t have grown up as emotionally distant as him.
Without a word, Arthur turned and left.
Hearing the door close, Charlotte felt a flicker of doubt. Isn’t he going to stay with Julius?
Meanwhile, on the other end of the call, Jennifer answered almost immediately. Her voice was tinged with urgency and a slight tremble. “Julius, where are you?”
“I came to see Daddy,” Julius replied.
