Chapter 49 Playing Hard to
Get
Charlotte tried hard to play the role of Arthur’s wife. By the time the gala ended, her smile was stiff with exhaustion.
After the event, she and Arthur left. However, neither of them noticed someone had taken photos of them.
After receiving the photos, Sarah immediately called this person. “Sonia, did they attend the charity gala together?”
“Yes,” Sonia Baldwin replied. She was Sarah’s close friend and knew just how much Sarah adored Arthur.
“Sarah, didn’t Arthur say he’d divorce soon? Was he lying to you? It looked like

he and that woman were getting along just fine today,” Sonia asked.
Sarah gripped her phone tightly. “Arthur won’t lie to me. If he said he’ll divorce, he will.”
Sonia scoffed, “So, that is the woman who is clinging to Arthur, huh? Ugh, she was so shameless. Five years ago, she drugged him to sleep with him and became his wife. Now that you’re back, she still won’t let go. How low can she go?”
Sarah spoke softly, “Don’t say that. They have a son together. It’s not that easy to get a divorce.”
Sonia’s voice turned sly. “Arthur’s son seems to like you a lot. Why not use that to your advantage? If the kid is completely devoted to you, it will be easier for Arthur

to make that decision and obtain a divorce.
Sarah thought for a moment. “I’ll find a way.”
After hanging up, Sarah gazed at the cold–toned ward, a flash of jealousy flickering in her eyes.
She thought, “Isn’t Charlotte supposed to have amnesia?
Isn’t she supposed to be getting a divorce?
Could it be that she is playing hard to get?
It is such a clever strategy!
I will not let her have her way.”
Sarah quickly messaged Julius: [Julius, I
heard there’s an event at your kindergarten tomorrow. Can I come?]
Julius replied: [Sure, Ms. Miller!]

4/7
Sitting in the car, Charlotte turned to Arthur. “Do you think I did well?”
The dim light in the car highlighted her bright eyes, which shimmered with excitement.
Her features were striking, and the smile she couldn’t suppress made her even more captivating.
Since losing her memory, Charlotte had become more lively and animated.
Arthur furrowed his long eyebrows,

suddenly thinking, “Has her gentle demeanor all these years been an act?”
The thought left him feeling inexplicably irritated.
“No.”
His deep, magnetic voice was cold and emotionless.
Charlotte’s smile immediately dropped, and the excitement in her bright eyes dimmed.
“You…”
She wanted to snap at him but held herself back.
Instead, she took a deep breath and asked, “What didn’t you like about it? Tell

me, and I’ll improve.”
Seeing her struggle to keep her anger in check, Arthur felt a little of his frustration fade. He closed his eyes, ignoring her.
Charlotte was confused.
She thought, “Is he going to stay silent?
Come on. How could he just play deaf?”
Gradually, she calmed down and thought, “He is so cunning. Of course, he wouldn’t make it easy for me. Whether I did well or not, he’ll dismiss my efforts.
Since he doesn’t want me to feel good, so he would reject everything I do.
The whole evening’s effort has been
wasted.”

Charlotte leaned back in the seat, kicking
off her high heels. She gazed out the window and stayed silent.
No one spoke in the car.
Without hearing her voice, Arthur’s brows furrowed once more. He glanced at her but only saw her beautiful profile, her gaze fixed on the window. She seemed calm and serene, and in that moment, she seemed to overlap with the woman he remembered.
The car finally arrived at Rose Villa. As they approached the familiar villa, Charlotte instinctively resisted. She said, “Please take me to Starlight Terrace.”
