Chapter 10
At the hospital, Mason bought a bouquet of gardenia flowers–Charlotte’s favorite.
He remembered learning about her love for these flowers and specially commissioning a matching perfume for her.
Charlotte wore it so often that even without it, her body seemed to carry a faint floral scent.
His lips curled into an unconscious smile as Mason realized he hadn’t tried to pamper Charlotte in a long time.
He’d even bought a cake to make amends.
“Mr. Sullivan, you’re visiting so late. Is something wrong?”
In the hallway, he encountered a night–shift nurse.
“No, I’m just checking on my wife. Is she resting?”
The nurse’s face showed surprise. “Your wife?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
Mason grew nervous. “Did something happen to Charlie?”
“No, no.”
The nurse quickly shook her head. “It’s just that Mrs. Sullivan was picked up early this morning. You didn’t know?”
“Picked up?”
Mason frowned. “Her injuries were serious. Where was she taken?”
“I don’t know. I assumed you had arranged a private nurse to care for her at home. Wasn’t it you?”
“Was it?”
Mason assumed Charlotte had gone home herself and immediately drove to their house.
It was late, and the mansion was quiet. Everyone had gone to bed.
Not wanting to disturb Charlotte’s sleep, Mason spent the night in a guest room.
In the morning, a maid was cleaning the hallway. Seeing him, she jumped in surprise.
“Sir! When did you return?”
“Last night.”
Mason rubbed his temples, having barely slept all night.
He’d been worried about Charlotte, wondering if she was still angry with him.
“Where’s my wife? Is she up yet?”

The maid shook her head, confused. “Has madam returned?”
“You don’t know?”
Mason suddenly panicked and rushed to open the bedroom door.
The bed was neatly made, and while all her belongings were still there, Charlotte herself was nowhere to be found.
“Charlie hasn’t come back? Where could she be?”
“Madam hasn’t returned at all.” The maid suddenly remembered something. “Oh, sir, someone delivered a package for you yesterday. They said it was for you specifically.”
The maid handed Mason the package. He casually opened it, freezing when he saw the divorce certificate inside.
“A divorce certificate?”
He had indeed filed for divorce with Charlotte, but why would the certificate be mailed to his home–and only one copy?
“Sender–Charlotte West.”
Seeing the sender’s name, Mason’s hand trembled slightly.
Why would she mail the divorce certificate to him instead of delivering it personally?
“Sir, you and madam are divorced?!”
The maid was shocked. Their relationship had always seemed so good–how could they suddenly divorce?
“No, it’s just a temporary divorce. We’ll remarry.”
Mason wasn’t sure if he was reassuring himself or deceiving himself.
He took out his phone and called Charlotte.
One call, two calls, three calls–all unanswered.
By the fourth call, her phone was switched off.
Charlotte was refusing his calls!
Mason frantically opened Instagram, only to discover he’d been blocked.
He frowned, finally feeling afraid.
“Emily, give me your phone.”
“Of course, sir.”
He used the maid’s phone, and Charlotte quickly answered.
“Hello?”

“Charlie?”
Hearing her voice, Mason’s heart leapt with joy, but before he could speak, she hung up.

Then the maid’s phone was blocked too,
Only now did Mason realize that Charlotte was truly angry this time.
