Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back (Charlotte and Arthur) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Has He See Us 

Arthur asked, “Who are you looking for? I can help you find them.” 

Jayce pressed his lips, his gaze shifting toward the direction of the restroom. But he quickly lowered his eyes again, muttering, “My grandfather said she’s called Ms. Aroma.” 

Hearing this, Arthur raised an eyebrow. “Her incense sticks had an effect on you, didn’t it?” 

“Yes,” Jayce answered. 

Arthur nodded. “Alright, I’ll find her and 

bring her to you.” 

Jayce said nothing. 

2/8 

Jayce thought, “I have already found her. 

But it seems she doesn’t want to acknowledge him.” 

Jayce didn’t know why. 

He felt that it might be because he scared her. 

He thought that if that were the case, he wouldn’t go looking for her. He didn’t want to fright her further.

Charlotte finished retouching her makeup and walked out distractedly. As she rounded the corner, she saw Jayce’s figure disappearing through the emergency exit. 

3/8 

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately followed him. 

The stairwell was quiet, in stark contrast to the bustling charity gala. 

Charlotte closed the door behind her and said, “Jayce.” 

The slender figure paused for a moment, then slowly turned his face in the dim light, staring at her intently. 

Charlotte walked right up to him, her gaze fixed on his eyes. “You saw my face, didn’t you?” 

Jayce didn’t speak or react. The green light from the emergency exit sign flickered on his face, illuminating the mole at the corner of his eye, making him appear more seductive and eerie. 

He See Us 

4/8 

Charlotte felt her palms sweat from nervousness. She spoke quickly, “Can I ask you for a favor? Please don’t tell anyone about my identity. You can ask for anything, and I’ll do whatever it takes to meet your request.” 

Jayce blinked slowly, his eyes falling downward to conceal the emotions hiding beneath them. 

“Is that okay?” 

Seeing that Jayce didn’t respond, Charlotte asked again. 

Jayce finally spoke, “Do you still have those incense sticks from that day?” 

“Yes,” Charlotte replied quickly. “But I didn’t bring it today. How about we set up 

5/8 

a time, and I’ll give it to you then?” 

“Okay.” 

Jayce said this softly, then took out his phone. 

He was silent and delicate, impossible to read. 

Charlotte added his phone number. “I’ll make sure to supply you with the incense sticks whenever you need it.” 

Jayce didn’t respond. He pocketed his phone and turned to leave. 

Charlotte let out a small sigh of relief. Seeing he had agreed, she felt that the weight hanging over her head lifted. 

As she opened the stairwell door, she was 

suddenly startled! 

US 

Arthur was standing right there as if he 

was about to push the door 

open. 

Her heart, which had just calmed, sank again. 

She thought, “What is going on? 

Has he seen us?” 

6/8 

Charlotte steadied herself. “What are you doing here?” 

Arthur’s gaze fixed on her, his deep eyes unreadable. “What are you doing here?” 

Charlotte quickly came up with an excuse. “I don’t like events like this, so I came here to get some air.” 

7/8 

After a brief pause, she cautiously asked, “I have that right, don’t I?” 

Arthur’s lips pressed into a thin line. He glanced behind her, but there was no one in sight. 

Earlier, Delia had come to find him, saying Jayce had disappeared again and asking for his help. As Arthur walked this way, he saw Charlotte entering the stairwell. 

Recalling Jayce’s strange persistence and his strange words, a flicker of suspicion rose in Arthur’s chest. 

He had come straight here, and when he pushed open the door, he saw her here. 

Charlotte told him that she was just here to get some air. 

ز 

“Sure.” 

He responded coldly, “As my wife, you should be by my side at all times.” 

“Alright.” 

Charlotte nodded and linked her arm with 

his. 

Arthur glanced down at her slender arm resting on his, the tips of her fingers curled lightly around his arm, and the coldness in his eyes softened a little.
