I was also somewhat puzzled.


    Together with Megan, I looked at Jack in unison.


    He was asposed and gentle as usual, refilling my cup with water while smiling lightly. "What''s there to not say? It''s just that being too detailed might cause him more trouble." Megan asked, "Why?"


    "You said he''s in a tense situation with your father, didn''t you?" Jack lowered his gaze and said methodically, "The more detailed you are, the more he might worry about Charlotte. If things stir up at home, wouldn''t that cause him more trouble?"


    "That''s true..." Megan nodded. “But I''ve already mentioned it. What should we do? Although he hasn''t seen it yet, I can''t really unsend the message.”


    Jack kept his smile. "It''s fine. We''ll deal with whateveres our way."


    Jane came out of the bedroom and was surprised to see Jack and Megan. She greeted them with a smile.


    Jack nced at her and said regretfully, "On Tom''s wedding day, he was waiting for you."


    "Waiting for me?" Jane opened a bottle of water and sipped slowly.


    Talking about this clearly affected her mood.


    The invitation to Tom''s wedding had been given to me and her. She naturally wouldn''t attend, and as her friend, I had no reason to go either. Jack shrugged helplessly. "He probably just can''t let go."


    "Jack," Jane said nonchntly. "People who want everything always deserve the worst. I don''t want to hear anything about him anymore." Jane had always been able to let go easily.


    The topic ended there.


    After a while, I checked the time and invited them to head downstairs for lunch.


    However, I hadn''t fully recovered yet and couldn''t face people without a mask.


    So, while they enjoyed a rich meal, I just had a sd.


    After the meal, when I saw them off, Megan and Jane walked ahead.


    Jack walked alongside me, his gaze on me. "Charlotte, you and Frank are from different worlds."


    know." I smiled slightly.


    The difference between me and Frank was something no one needed to point out.


    Moreover, Lily had returned. Everything was falling back into ce.


    Jack smiled gently. "I don''t know why, but I always felt you were different with him. Now it seems, you


    really are different."


    "Why do they all have more opportunities than I do?" he asked.


    I smiled awkwardly. "Jack, you''re a really good person. And as you can see, Frank and I, it''s not going to happen. He has a fiancee."


    I had no interest in rtionships involving a third party. I would avoid them at all costs.


    He cocked his brows, seeming curious. "Then, if you were Lily, would you be with him without hesitation and fulfill your childhood engagement?"


    I was taken aback by his question.


    Turning to look at him, I felt somewhat helpless. "How could I be so fortunate?"


    Setting aside what choice I would make if I were Lily, just the thought of being Lily, the eldest daughter of the Shaw family, was something I didn''t dare to imagine.


    He remained persistent with the question. "Then what if you were? Would you?”


    "I don''t know." I shook my head. "And many things, no matter how I think, have never mattered."C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

    "True." Jack pressed his lips together and said with certainty, "Anyway, you won''t be her."


    I pressed the elevator button. "Yes, it''s only been a short while since you helped me check my background


    After seeing them off at the hotel, Jack stopped and reminded me in a soft voice, "Stay away from the Shaw and Smith families. Don''t get dragged into their issues again, understand? If anything really happens, you''ll be the only one to suffer."
