Chapter 253: Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Regret Now Charlotte looked back, what they fell in love with might be the only gleam of beauty in their difficult life back then.

Joe looked deeply at Charlotte: “I know.”

As for what he knew, he didn’t say anything, and Charlotte didn’t mean to ask.

“In that case, I’ll leave first.” Charlotte planned to leave without nostalgia but was stopped by Joe.

In the dim room, the warm yellow light reflected on his side face, inexplicably showing a bit of softness.

Charlotte understood very deeply that all this was actually just an illusion.

“I’m sorry.” Joe seriously and sincerely apologized to Charlotte.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said nothing more.

When she came to the gate, Gideon was still waiting for her.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting.” Charlotte quickly got into the car and apologized to Gideon.

While starting the car, Gideon observed Charlotte’s expression, ←

“Is everything settled?”

“Well, it’s not a big deal,” Charlotte replied. Thinking of Joe’s words today, she felt a little sad.

Gideon smiled gently, “He regretted it.”

Charlotte looked at Gideon in surprise, she didn’t seem to say anything. Right? Although Joe didn’t say it clearly, there was some sense of regret in it.

“With Joe Smith’s pride, without his acquiescence, how could Sir Smith successfully invite you?”

Gideon pointed it out sharply, even if Joe didn’t know it at first, he must have acquiesced later.

Charlotte didn’t think about this matter from this angle, she smiled: “Maybe.”

Gideon raised his eyebrows, and he looked deeply at Charlotte, “Are you not going to respond to him?”

Now is the time when Joe felt the deepest guilt towards her, as long as Charlotte nodded, Joe would definitely give everything to her immediately.

But Charlotte shook her head, “No, it’s not necessary.”

It took her so long to get out and she didn’t want to jump back into that vortex. Moreover, even if Joe explained all the past, the hurt left by him would never be healed with an apology.

Gideon looked at her for a long time, then smiled softly, “It’s indeed Charlotte.”

Before starting the car, his eyes swept cross the second floor of the villa intentionally or unintentionally and flickered slightly.

On the balcony on the second floor, Joe stood by the window silently, watching Gideon and Charlotte’s car gradually go away.

Sir Smith stood behind him and sighed deeply, “Do you regret it now? When she married you, you didn’t cherish her. Now that the harm has been done, if you want to redeem it, I’m afraid…”

Joe didn’t turn his head back, his voice was still hoarse, but without the weakness just now, “You have taught me that regret is th most useless thing in this world since I was a child. Rather than regretting, it is better to be determined to win.”

Sir Smith looked at his stubborn look, and slapped him angrily, “You should’ve known what was coming! Your good wife was lost by yourself. Don’t you think I will harm you?!”

Joe pursed his lips and said nothing, withdrew his gaze, and made a phone call to Jack.

When Charlotte returned home, Ben and Anna had already fallen asleep. Mrs. River looked at Charlotte kindly, “The two of them have been complaining for a long time, they kept arguing why you didn’t take them along. It was Mr. Wolf who told them a story before they calmed down.”
