Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back (Charlotte and Arthur) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 A Cruel Reminder 

The warm–toned room felt like a soft embrace, with Julius curled up in Sarah’s arms. His tiny hand was tightly gripping hers, his feverish face flushed, his little brow drawn in discomfort. 

Sarah gently stroked his back, occasionally checking his forehead to see if his temperature had gone down. 

Arthur sat nearby, his usual icy demeanor softened with concern as he watched his 

son. 

“Mom…” 

Julius‘ weak, hoarse voice broke the silence, his call barely a whisper. 

Sarah held him close, her voice soothing. “It’s okay, Julius. You’ll be feeling better soon.” 

Charlotte stood frozen at the door, her fingers gripping the doorframe as if it might anchor her. 

Her heart felt as if it were being torn apart, every stab of pain a reminder of how much they had all moved on without her. 

Tears stung her eyes, but she quickly blinked them away, forcing herself to stay calm. 

She had always known it would end up like this. 

Arthur loved Sarah deeply, and Julius 

wanted nothing more than to call Sarah Mom.

Coming here had been nothing but a cruel reminder of what she had lost. 

Her gaze shifted from Julius‘ pained face to Arthur, whose eyes flickered between his son and Sarah. 

His 

gaze softened whenever it lingered on Sarah, and Charlotte couldn’t help but feel a sharp pang in her chest. 

It was as if she had been slapped, every part of her aching. 

She forced herself to speak, taking a slow breath. “It looks like he’s fine now… I’ll just leave.” 

Seeing this scene only made her more

determined to pretend she’d forgotten them, to walk away and never look back. 

She couldn’t help but wonder why she hadn’t truly forgotten them. 

If she had, maybe this pain wouldn’t be so unbearable. 

The room fell silent as everyone turned to look at her. 

Sarah’s face paled, and she quickly tried to explain. “Mrs. Harrison, it’s not what you think. Let me explain.” 

Charlotte blinked, her clear eyes filled with confusion. “Explain what?” 

“I…” Sarah hesitated, then awkwardly said, “I came to bring something to Mrs. Jennifer Harrison. She said Julius had a

fever, so I came to check on him. I thought holding him might make him feel more comfortable… Mrs. Harrison, please don’t be angry. I never meant to take your place.” 

Charlotte smiled faintly. “I’m not upset. You’ve been taking great care of him. If that’s all, I’ll be going now.” 

Without another word, she turned to leave, not sparing Arthur a single glance. 

Sarah’s eyes glinted with satisfaction, but Arthur suddenly stood up, walking out quickly. 

Sarah was taken aback. “Arthur, aren’t you going to stay with Julius?”
