Forsaking the Years of Longing novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Nolan froze, his expression shifting through a myriad of emotions.

Finally, the forced smile on his face looked even worse than crying.

His lips moved a few times before he managed to speak:

“Charlotte, where did you find this actor? He’s terrible at acting. Stop fooling us.”

Even with the rings and the marriage certificate in plain sight, he still refused to believe it.

Charlotte hadn’t expected to see them so soon, but she had long decided to sever ties with them.

“He’s not an actor. Sorry to disappoint you. As you can see, I’m married.”

Her voice was calm and detached as she opened the marriage certificate and waved it in front of Jaziel and Nolan.

Theodore, equally composed, wrapped an arm around Charlotte’s waist and nodded politely at them.

“Hello, let me introduce myself. I’m Charlotte’s husband. My name is Theodore.”

His light amber eyes gave Jaziel and Nolan a cursory glance, carrying a natural air of superiority, as though he didn’t consider them worth his attention.

Jaziel’s pupils contracted, and a wave of anger rose uncontrollably within him.

Struggling to suppress his emotions, he fixed his gaze on Charlotte, his voice tense with restraint.

“Charlotte, stop this nonsense. Are you jealous? Be good–you’re not serious about this. Get a

divorce. You must’ve acted on impulse and haven’t thought this through.”

As he spoke, Jaziel reached for Charlotte’s hand, trying to pull her back into the marriage registration office.

Nolan quickly stepped in to block Theodore.

“Mr. Washington, what gives you the right to marry Charlotte? Do you even understand her? Do you know her favorite things? Her little habits? Do you love her?”

He shouted impulsively, even pressing a hand on Theodore’s shoulder.
