Chapter 226 Did I Say Something Wrong 

Jayce watched Delia in silence, his expression unreadable

He had always been reserved, rarely sharing his thoughts, especially in front of Edward

But with Charlotte, he felt a pull to engage, to spark

conversation

Yet the timing was off

Charlotte was Arthur’s wife, and his feelings were misplaced

Turning away, Jayce stepped into his apartment, where a fish tank adorned one side of the living room. Inside, swam beautifully vibrant betta fish, their pink hues aligning with the dreamy backdrop of colorful stones and coral

It was a scene Delia had arranged, and Jayce often found solace in watching the fish glide gracefully through the water

But today, he bypassed the tank and locked the door behind him, shutting out the world

Delia stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do

Did I say something wrong?she murmured to herself

Meanwhile, Charlotte entered her home, using her fingerprint to unlock the door, and headed straight for the kitchen

Arthur’s gaze followed her, his voice low and intense. You either move out, or I move in.” 

Why?Charlotte asked, tying on her apron, confusion etched on her face

Arthur stepped closer, his expression serious. He lives right below you. You’re really asking why?” 

Seriously?Charlotte laughed, incredulous. Where he lives is his business. Just because he’s downstairs doesn’t mean I should 

move out.” 

So, you’re okay with him living there? You two hang out all the time?Arthur’s tone grew colder

That’s ridiculous,she retorted, feeling frustrated

Charlotte thought, I can’t control other people’s choices, and neither can you!” 

She loved this place and had no intention of leaving

Arthur’s chest tightened as he took in her impassive face. The familiar feeling of suffocation crept back in

He tugged at his collar, realizing it had loosened during the earlier scuffle, but that wasn’t the source of his discomfort

Arthur stepped out onto the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag, hoping it would ease the tension

After a moment, he pulled out his phone and texted Grace

He asked: [Did you get that thing I asked you to handle done?

Grace had just dropped Tina off and was about to head home. when she saw the message. She hesitated for a moment, quickly checking her notes

She mused, Mr. Harrison is pushing for this; it has to be about this!” 

Grace replied: [Mr. Harrison, it’ll be taken care of by tomorrow.

Arthur said: [Your bonus for this month is docked.

Grace blinked in disbelief

With a boss like him, I might just hit menopause early,she thought

The enticing aroma of dinner wafted from the kitchen

Arthur turned to see Charlotte busy at the stove, her back to

Her long hair was casually pinned up, with a few loose strands. cascading down

Memories of the countless nights over the past five years when he’d come home to find her just like this flooded back

She had been smiling brightly as she served dinner

At that moment, something stirred within him, a familiar ache that felt both nostalgic and painful

Arthur glanced down, realizing the cigarette was burning dangerously close to his fingers, but the pain was nothing compared to what he felt inside

Unseen, something fundamental had shifted between them, but he hadn’t recognized it yet
