But when Gideon saw Arthur's face growing grimmer and grimmer, he chuckled and said, “Con. I'm just
kidding. Don’t take it seriously. You're so sensitive.” Arthur stood up and left without sparing Gideon even a
single glance.
Charlotte was about to leave, too, but after a moment's thought,

the she turned back to Gideon. “Dr. Holland,
my day after tomorrow. If you have time, you're welcto drop by.”
Gideon smiled faintly, “I'll be there.” Charlotte gave him a polite nod before leaving the office.
Gideon picked up his thermos, sighed deeply, and took a sip. He mused, “Man, he’s got a long way to go if he
wants to win her back.”

Inside the car, Arthur's expression was anything but pleasant. Charlotte didn’t feel like paying attention to him,
though—her mind was on Jayce.
She pondered, “Jayce’s condition is really bad. Has the Caldwell family never considered intervening or getting
him treatment? | don’t know why, but I'm oddly worried.

| mean, we've only just met, but he’s already willing to stand up for me, even risking offending Arthur just to put
Sophia in her place.
I'm grateful for that.”
While Charlotte’s thoughts were a tangled mess, Arthur's cold voice broke through her reverie. “Charlotte.”
She turned to look at him, her face calm. “What?”
“Where is my invitation card?” Arthur asked as his striking eyes locked onto hers, unwavering.
Charlotte blinked and replied, “I didn’t prepare one for you.” In truth, she had no intention of inviting him at all.
Arthur was momentarily speechless. Annoyance and helplessness welled up in his chest, and he let out a bitter
laugh.
“Well, aren't you something?” He gave Charlotte a mocking look. “Do you think anyone who gets an invitation
from you will dare show up if | say otherwise?”
Charlotte's expression immediately turned blank. “Can you be reasonable? Did | do something to offend you?
Why are you targetinglike this?”
Arthur simply said, “You didn’t givean invitation.”

Charlotte was utterly dumbfounded at the fact that he was really threatening her over this. She turned away in
frustration and muttered, “There's no invitation. If you want to come, then just
come.”
Arthur looked at her smooth, delicate face and pressed his lips, clearly agitated. Still, the frustration weighing on
his chest eased a little.
He figured that not having an invitation was fine. Charlotte had invited him verbally, and that was enough. Then,
with a click of his tongue, he thought, “Wait, she’s my wife! Why would | even need an invitation? Damn it,
Gideon's nonsense must have gotten to me.”
Back at Night Club, Charlotte headed to Evie’s office, only to find Julius and Mabel playing Connect Four.
Mabel’s adorable little face scrunched up in frustration as she threw the gpiece in her hand. “I'm not
playing anymore!” she declared.
Julius’ finely featured face stayed calm and indifferent as he asked, “You don’t want to learn the ganymore?
You're about to get the hang of it.”
“Nope, not learning!” Mabel huffed, getting up and clutching her bunny plush tightly. She tugged at the bunny’s
ears with a stubborn, puffed-up expression.
Julius glanced at her and then offered, “How about one more

game? You go first this time.” He had been winning consistently, always going first, leaving Mabel without a
single victory.
Mabel’s bright, clear eyes blinked up at him. “Really?”
“Mm-hmm.” Julius nodded solemnly.
Reluctantly, Mabel returned to the table, plopped herself down across from him, and picked up a gpiece
with her tiny hand. She placed it on the board, and Julius quickly followed with his
move.
Two minutes later, Mabel jumped up from her seat with a cheer. “I won!”
Julius nodded. “Yes, you did.”
Off to the side, Evie and Charlotte watched the scene unfold. They exchanged a glance, both catching a flicker of
something complex in the other's eyes.
Evie clicked her tongue and remarked, “If that scumbag of a man had even half his son’s manners, you wouldn't
be in this mess.”
