A picture was smacked onto her car window.“Miss Allegra, we love you. Please give me your autograph.”Charlotte stared at the picture.It was a still photograph from The First Sorceress Princess, the movie she had filmed four years ago. At the time, she had a beautiful, flawless face, a far cry from her current face.It was at that moment Charlotte realized that those people were all fans of her film. They had no malicious intent toward her at all…Now that she was relaxed, she finally took a deep breath and left the car.“Allegra!”“We love you!”Just as she had exited the vehicle, the fans surrounded her madly, reaching out to her, holding her picture in their hands.“Miss Allegra, we loved you in The First Sorceress Princess, and we love you very much too! But we thought you were dead four years ago and cried our eyes out to the point of near-blindness… We’re all extremely devoted fans of your movie and you. We were overjoyed when we found out you were still alive. You mus
Ding!The elevator had arrived on its designated floor.Charlotte massaged the hand she used to sign the autographs and walked in.Garrison was currently standing in front of the French windows.He was a distinguished man, cut above the rest, and dressed in an immaculate designer suit. The afternoon sun shone upon his body like golden rays of light. He glowed like a perfect piece of smooth marble.Clack!The door opened.He turned around and saw Charlotte. The gloomy shroud around his eyes disappeared and turned into warmth in spring. “I was quietly watching you from here when you gave your fans your autograph just now. Congratulations, Carlie. This is an honor you deserve.”Charlotte gave him a shallow smile.“Thank you!”“You’re welcome.” Garrison’s eyebrows were well-shaped as he stood against the sunlight. He was outstanding, like a prince. The sight of him in this manner made Charlotte feel very reluctant all of a sudden. Her lips gaped, then she swallowed whatever she
That year, Charlotte had established a ten-year promise with him with an objective to make him face adversity and give up.To her surprise, her joking remark had turned into an oath that Garrison would follow for the rest of his life.She certainly never thought that one day, her heart would ache so badly over a man she never loved before.“Garrison, I’m sorry…”Charlotte calmed herself for a while before finding her voice again.“Not too long ago, I married you as Sotiria Green. Now, I’m not Sotiria Green anymore. That means I’m not your wife. I will take Naomi and leave. From now on, I’m never coming back again. Take care.”Charlotte had lost all nerve to face his pained, desperate face. She turned around and left as soon as she said this.“Carlie!”Suddenly, Garrison rushed behind her and grabbed her wrist in a tight grip.Before she would make sense of the situation, he pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips, moistened with tears, firmly on hers.“Mmph!”Both lips
‘What…’Charlotte felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed her heart. She took a few deep breaths to force herself into calming down.“No!”With a strength that came from nowhere, Charlotte pulled her hand out of Garrison’s grasp at once.Garrison tried to catch her again.She turned around again and looked at him. Her eyes were colder than ice, while her voice was as frosty as a cold-blooded assassin. “Wake up, Garrison! If I loved you, I would’ve stayed with you, and I wouldn’t have gone to Zachary as soon as I regained my memories! I have no feelings for you. Even if I wanted to be charitable to you, what could I possibly give you?”Garrison stared hurtfully at Charlotte as if someone had violently wrung him by the neck. He was at a loss for words.Charlotte smiled icily at him, quickened her pace, and walked into the elevator.Ding!As soon as the elevator door closed, the cold smile on the corners of her lips disappeared like smoke. The tears which she had been holding ba
“Jordan, thank you for taking care of Naomi and me over the past few years. Now, Garrison and I have separated. I believe it won’t be easy for us to see each other again. Take care.”Jordan gently curled the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with tears.“Mm. You take care too.”Charlotte took Naomi in her arms, ready to leave, when Jordan rushed forward and stroked Naomi’s small head. “Naomi, you must remember to think of me and call me as often as you can.”Naomi blinked her large, crystalline eyes, reached out her little finger, and waved it in front of Jordan.“I know! Don’t forget me either, okay?”“Okay.”Charlotte took a few steps with Naomi in her arms, then noticed that Jordan had not gone into the elevator. Instead, she remained standing at the elevator doors, watching reluctantly as she and Naomi walked away. Her eyes lit up as she turned around and said, “Jordan, would you like a part-time job?”“Huh?”Jordan’s scholarly face filled with obvious surprise.“Wha
Charlotte drove her car into the courtyard.Once she and Naomi exited the vehicle, Mr. Gold happily exclaimed, “Miss, over the past four years, I’ve always thought that I’d never hold on long enough for your return, even if I waited in this villa for the rest of my life. I never imagined finding out about your survival via Internet news today. This seaside villa has a mistress again.”“Mm.”Charlotte, who stood in front of her car, stared absent-mindedly at the villa. At that moment, it felt as if time had turned backward. Unforgettable memories from her past seemed to flash across her mind’s eye like a high-definition movie…Back then, she had been deeply in love with Bryson.Her father may have objected to her relationship with him, but she insisted on accepting his proposal and decided to marry him.This villa was the newlywed home that Bryson had bought for her on the eve of their wedding.She had been living there from the day she married Bryson to the day she gave birth to
‘Yes! I’d love to have my old looks back.’However, four years ago, she had lost her entire face due to that accident. Ever since the doctor had shaped her face into Sotiria’s features more than four years ago, this face had been hers. Was it possible for her to retrieve her old looks?As expected, even the living room was the same as when Charlotte had left it. It looked as if no one had been there at all.The sky was getting dark.Naomi was just like Charlotte. She had difficulty falling asleep at night whenever she arrived at a new place. Thus, that night, Charlotte slept in the same room as Naomi and shared the same bed with her.Normally, Naomi would sleep before 9 p.m. Tonight, she only fell asleep in Charlotte’s arms at 10 p.m. However, Charlotte had difficulty falling asleep.Thus, she took out her phone to fiddle with it.She saw her picture as soon as she tapped on the web browsing app… Or rather, Sotiria’s picture!As it turned out, ever since The First Sorceress Pri
“Mm?” Charlotte was stunned. “Where to?”“You’ll find out once you’re there,” Zachary replied, looking as handsome as a god.‘Is that even an answer?’Charlotte was overflowing with curiosity, as she still had plenty of questions. Zachary had released her hand and walked out of the door.“If you miss your chance, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”Charlotte raised her brow.‘Fine!’She knew that Zachary would never fool her. Since he had paid her a visit early in the morning and said something like that, whatever happened next would be very important to her.Thus, she moved her feet and followed him.Zachary’s international limited-edition Rolls-Royce was parked in the courtyard. Zachary opened the car door and sat in the backseat.“Get in.”“Oh.”Charlotte only realized that Lucas was sitting in the driver’s seat when she got in the vehicle.“Long time no see, milady. Miss me?”Charlotte chuckled. “Yes, of course.”Lucas beamed. “I missed you too, milady. I’
