Had her actions already been exposed? Did James know?
Charlotte's heart raced wildly, panic creeping in. What would she do if he had found out?
James stared down at her with sharp, cold eyes. His voice was detached as he said, "If you claim you don't
understand, then I'll take your word for it. Just focus on being Mrs. Chancer."
With that, he gave her a symbolic pat on the back before brushing past her and walking away.
Charlotte felt a chill run through her entire body. What did he mean by that? Was he warning her?
The thought sent a wave of anger through her. She wanted to sweep everything off the desk in frustration, but
this was James's study-she didn't dare.
Forcing herself to calm down, she reminded herself that her previous actions had already made James weary of
her. She needed to rebuild the trust she once had.
As James entered the bedroom, Charlotte's voice called out from behind him. "Are you leaving again?"
He turned to see her standing there in a slip dress-a color he had never seen her wear before.
For a moment, the sadness weighing on his heart lifted. "It's chilly. Why aren't you wearing more?"
Hearing his concern, Charlotte's eyes glistened with tears. It had been so long since he'd spoken to her like this.
"You haven't looked atlike this in days," she said, hiding her disappointment behind a practiced smile.
Her vulnerable tone softened James's heart. The once-proud and headstrong Charlotte was now forcing herself to
lower her defenses. He reached out and took her hand.

"Your hands are freezing," James said, leading her toward the bed.
"James, | know | was wrong before," Charlotte said, her voice laced with guilt.
James gave her a comforting hug. "It's okay."
Charlotte poured him a cup of tea. "I just made this for you. Try it-it's my best work yet," she said playfully, trying
to lighten the mood.
James took a sip, but something felt off.
"Was the incident at the stables yesterday your doing?" he asked suddenly, his tone steady but probing.
Charlotte froze for a moment before her expression shifted to one of sorrow. "How could you suspect me?"
"Were you involved?" James pressed.
"No," Charlotte said softly, shaking her head. "I was only watching from the sidelines."
James couldn't get the image out of his mind-Sarah's horse panicking yesterday, nearly throwing her into the
barbed wire.
If she had been thrown, her face would have been horribly scratched. The thought made his chest tighten.
"Sarah didn't provoke you. If you saw something, why didn't you say something?" he asked, his tone edged with
anger.
"James, that's someone else's business. We-"
"She's still my ex-wife," James muttered.
