Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 428

Charlotte averted her gaze, her voice calm. “I was just heading downstairs.”

Yolanda glanced at Evander, but when he remained silent, she held back whatever she’d been about to say.

Once the elevator doors closed, Charlotte kept her head down, deliberately avoiding that dark, searching gaze she could feel on her. She lingered in the lobby for a while, lost in thought, until Vera’s voice snapped her back to reality.

Evander looked at her. “Aren’t you always on your brother’s side? Why help me instead?”
