In the past, Charlotte always paid when they dined at high–end
restaurants. This time, since he insisted on treating, she just went along with it.
Of course, Timothy was actually strapped for cash now. This meal cost him two months‘ living expenses.
“Heh, it’s still early. How about we catch a movie?” Timothy suggested after painfully swiping his card.
Charlotte picked up her bag and replied coolly, “Maybe another time. I still have homework to do tonight.”
Timothy quickly caught up with her. “Lottie, I’ve noticed you’ve changed. You’re becoming more and more outstanding.”
“Thanks for the compliment:”
She had changed.
But from now on, he would never have her again.
After leaving their seats.
Timothy looked at Gregory and deliberately said goodbye. “Gregory, Mr. Livingston, please enjoy your dinner. Lottie and I will be leaving now.”
Charlotte waved at Gregory as if nothing had happened. “Goodbye.”

Gregory frowned, his gaze at Charlotte shifting between cloudy and clear, filled with warning and coldness.

Charlotte ignored him, smiling as she took Timothy’s arm and walked toward the door.
Timothy shuddered all over. “Lottie, let’s go!”
“Mm.”

The two of them walked out of the restaurant arm in arm, looking quite
close.
Once outside the restaurant doors.
Charlotte’s expression turned cold and she immediately let go of Timothy.
Timothy was puzzled. “Lottie, what’s wrong?”
As he spoke, he instinctively tried to put his arm around her shoulders.
Charlotte stepped back coldly. “Thank you for dinner today. I’ll treat you next time if I get the chance.”
“I have something to do now, so I need to go.”
“Lottie, Lottie…”
Charlotte ignored him and headed straight for the underground parking
lot.
Her driver and assistant were still waiting for her in the car.
When they saw her coming, they hurried to open the car door for her.
“Miss, please get in the car.”
Timothy caught up as well. “Lottie, I didn’t drive today. Could you give me a ride home?”

“Get in.”
Timothy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got in the car.
Now, Charlotte felt as if she was keeping him at arm’s length. He couldn’t understand why she had changed so much.
She used to be the most obedient by his side, always fawning over
one
him. How could she just stop like that?
“Where do you want to go?”
“Uh, wherever you’re going, I’ll go.”
Charlotte felt a wave of discomfort. “Timothy, if you keep crossing boundaries like this, I’m afraid we can’t even be friends anymore.”
Timothy felt a stab in his heart and could only reply dejectedly, “Then just take me home.”
Charlotte said nothing more and instructed the driver to head to Seabay
Villa.
This was Jerome’s private villa.
Timothy and his mother also lived there.

Half an hour later.
The driver arrived at their destination.
“We’re here. Please get out.”
Timothy got out of the car reluctantly. “Lottie, don’t you have anything

you want to say to me?”
“Get some rest. Good night.” With that, Charlotte closed the car window and told the driver to leave.
Watching the car drive away, Timothy felt a wave of disappointment.
“Charlotte, I will make you fall in love with me again. I will take back everything that belongs to me. You still can’t escape from the palm of my hand.”
“And I will definitely make something of myself and reach even greater heights!“/
Meanwhile.
Charlotte told the driver to take her home.
All the way, her mind was filled with thoughts of Gregory and Natalee’s intimate interaction.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
“Forget it, I shouldn’t overthink it. It was just for fun anyway, how could I take it seriously?”
“I absolutely can’t become obsessed with love, and I must never get involved with a man from the Bradford family again.
The car had just pulled up to the door.
