Chapter 1358 Fallen Object
âI suppose.â Michael nodded before asking, âWhat about me then? I'm also someone from your
past. Do you intend to cut me off as well?â
âYou're different,â Charlotte replied, gazing at him gently. âNo matter what happens, we'll always be
friends!â
âI'm glad to hear that.â Feeling guilty, he said, âI used to be really willful and had caused you a lot of
trouble. I've grown a lot after everything that has happened in the past two years. I know you don't
have any romantic feelings for me, and I also know love can't be forced. From now onward, I'll be by
your side as your good friend and put my feelings for you behind me. I promise to be there
whenever you need me!â
âThank you, Michael.â She was deeply moved by his words. âYou have to take good care of yourself
too. I hope that you'll find your happiness soon!â
âI will.â He nodded. âIt's a beautiful night. Shall we head to the beach for a stroll?â
âI don't think I can.â Charlotte glanced at her watch and said, âI have to go back now. The kids are
waiting for me to read them a bedtime story.â
âAll right then.â Reluctant to part with her so soon, Michael offered, âLet me see you out.â
âSure.â After Charlotte put on her coat, the two of them walked out together.
The sound of the waves brought back memories of the past, and he started reminiscing about the
good old days with her.
Smiling, Charlotte listened attentively and would respond to him from time to time. Unbeknownst
to her, someone had been observing her from a window upstairs, eyes gleaming with malice.
âMs. Lindberg!â Lupine suddenly nudged Charlotte.
The latter looked over and saw a car approaching the hotel entrance. It was Zachary's Rolls-Royce.
Zachary's subordinates got out and opened the car doors at the back. A second later, Zachary and
Nancy stepped out from different sides.
Nancy looked shy and dainty with his suit jacket draped around her shoulders.
After leaning over and saying something to her, Zachary walked side by side into the hotel with her.
However, he had barely taken a few steps forward when he looked up and saw Charlotte exiting the
hotel through the revolving doors with a man next to her. That sight made him halt in his tracks.
âMs. Lindberg?â Ben looked at Charlotte in shock, not expecting to see her there. Wait a minute!
Isnât the man next to her...
âMichael!â
Zachary recognized Michael right away. Furrowing his brows, he strode into the hotel, completely
forgetting that Nancy was beside him.
Nancy was taken aback for a second, but she soon snapped out of her daze and quickly caught up
with Zachary.
Meanwhile, Ben and the other subordinates entered from the side entrance.
âMichael!â Zachary called, fixing his cold gaze on Michael. âWhy are you here?â
âMy family owns this hotel,â Michael replied calmly. âI was here catching up with my old friend, and I
doubt I need your permission for that, Mr. Nacht.â
Zachary glared at him coldly before turning his attention toward Charlotte. âWhy did you come out
when your hand is injured? Go back now.â
âWhat has it got to do with you?â
Anger welled up in Charlotte's chest when she noticed Nancy standing behind Zachary. However,
she tried her best to put on a calm front.
âCharlotteâ"
Just as Zachary was about to speak, Nancy walked toward Charlotte and greeted her politely, âMs.
Lindberg, what a small world! It's a pleasure to meet you again.â
âI know,â Charlotte replied. Looking at Nancy, she continued with a faint smile, âH City is so huge,
yet we seem to bump into each other all the time.â
âSince we are all here, shall we have a drink together?â Nancy suggested smilingly.
"Unfortunately, I'll have to decline your offer. I need to go back now.â Charlotte rejected her directly.
âYou guys have fun. I'm going to take off now!"
She then glanced at Zachary before walking away.
âCharlotte, wait for me.â
Michael was about to catch up to her when an object suddenly fell from above. Right before it hit
Charlotte, a figure suddenly dashed toward her and pushed her away.
Bam! A loud crash was heard.
âMr. Nacht!â
âAh!â
Ben and Nancy screamed at the same time.
When Charlotte turned around, she saw that a vase had hit Zachary's head, and blood began to
gush out from his wound.
