Chapter 60
Asher sighed heavily as he drove into his garage, while Charlotte sat at the passenger side, grinning heavily. He knew he was in for it when she randomly showed up at the bar, and when he asked her what she was doing there, she gave the limest excuse known to man.
The second Christopher left abruptly, he knew it was time to leave as well as he couldn’t stand to stay with her alone for another second, yet, here he was, trapped with her for the night because she had strongly objected to being dropped off in her own home, and he wasn’t in the mood to
handle her taninnu..
“Aren’t you excited to be spending the night with me! It’s our first night alone in a very long while, Asher”
He mastered a smile as he parked and turned off the car. “Of course, I’m happy Char. Eve just been worn out by the day’s activities. He felt repulsed at the sweetness of his voice as he tried to cajole her. Culy if there was a way to magically have the one month disappear, only if there was another way to do what he wanted to do.
“Aren’t we getting off?” He immediately snapped out of his thoughts, and smiled. Then proceeded to unlock the car and stepped out, he was about to start walking to the house when he heard taps on the cat window and when he turned, Charlotte arched a brow, pointing to the door
“Of course,” he muntered and walked over to the passenger’s side and held the door open for her. A sickening smile spread across her face as gently slid oun of the car, and almost immediately she latched onin his arms.
Tm excited for tonight, Asher. It’s been a while.” She said with a coy smile, and once he met her gaze, she giggled and looked away. Asher’s eyes slowly widened, and he tried to wiggle out of her hold when he understood the meaning behind her words, but she latched strongly onto him
He fch repulsed by what she was insinuating. It wasn’t going to happen, not now, not ever. His mind traced back to his time with Lily, and the tips of his ears felt hot. She was everything he wanted, perfect against his body. He suppressed the groan that almost left his lips as he recalled what it felt like to be pressed against her. He wanted to be with her, he needed to be with her.
Charlotte took the look on his face and the redness of his ears as a positive sign, and her cheeks reddened. She tugged on her shirt and caught glimpse of the lingene she put on, and she smiled mischievously.
More than claiming him for herself, getting him to bed with her tonight was extremely important. Her hand palmed her stomach and she gulped, she couldn’t risk it. Her father will have her head if she shook her head, and forced the thoughts out of her mind. It’ll all go perfectly as planned.
Her plans however flew over her head, and her mood soured the second they set their feet into the house. The smile on her face completely disappeared, and she immediately let go of him.
Asher glanced at his arm that she once latched onto, then to her face that was now hardened with anger, her eyes shooting daggers at the wall and be frowned. “What’s His question trailed off when he followed her line of sight and found out she was glaring at the pictures on the wall.
“Why are those pictures on the wall” She dragged her eyes away from the pictures, and was now glaring at Asher. “It should have been brought down the second. She paused and shook her head, “no, it should never have come back up after the last time. So, what are those pictures doing up there Asher!”

we not talk about this right now, Lily? Horror washed over Charlotte’s face and she stared at Asher with wide eyes, betrayal swimming in
He closed his eyes and massaged his temple the second he realized the mess he made. “Listen, I’m sorry about that he said, opening his eyes. “It’s just that she’s been around me for so long that.
“If you miss her so much, then why don’t you go and get her back, Asher?” She cut in, sounding calmer than Asher expected and he sighed. If she screamed, that would be better.” Do you think I am stupid! Do you think I’ve not noticed the vacant look in your eyes whenever you are around met I saw the way you looked at her back at your office. Is this why you did not want me to follow you home? Because you have the pictures of you – and your beloved wife, lunging on the walls of your beautiful home?”
Chur, that’s enough. 1…
“You don’t have a single respect for me, Asher. You think me a fool just because I love you. You want to punish me for the rest of my life for embarrassing you at the altar, that’s why you were quick to come for me after lening go of her. I. Tears rolled down her cheeks, cutting her off
Guilt permeated Aster’s veins, and he pulled her into a hug. Her actions towards Lily are inexcusable, but at the end of the day, she was just another human being in love.
“I am sorry” he apologized sincerely, rubbing her back as she sobbed into his chest. “I really am, I’ll do better by you, Char. He felt guilty for his words because he didn’t mean a single word.
Charlotte sniffled and slowly broke out of the hug. Do you mean what you just said?” Aslier’s hand found its way to her hair, and he pulled the strands covering her face behind her ears and nodded, a smile on his face.
She mirrored the look on his face, and leaned in. It took everything in Asher not to recoil away from her, while maintaining a smile on his fi
“Prove it then. Take me to bed.”
