Chapter 91: Damien’s favorite
Charlotte felt a pang of ache in her chest, as he said those words. Yes, she was over him and didn’t care about him anymore but saying those words bluntly, made her uncomfortable.
Embarrassed, she stuttered, "You...I....Thanks," and bent down her head to continue what she was eating. She should have known it wasn’t more than a random concern, why would she think he made an exception for her?
She was going to be leaving in two months, so it was best to avoid being attached to Dave anyway.
Absent-mindedly, she shook her head to ward off the disturbing thoughts, deciding it was best to not think about him at all.
Dave’s fists were clenched under the table, as he watched the hurtful look on Charlotte’s face. Convincing himself that he was hurting her for her sake, was the only way to overcome his burning feelings for her.
After all, she was soon to be a married woman and had a baby already growing in her belly. Speaking of the baby, he suddenly felt the urge to ask about the baby and if the baby wasn’t disturbing her in any way, but he couldn’t bring himself to act like he cares after just hurting her.
The more he looked at her, the more he felt bad for himself, mainly because he was afraid of losing it and going beside her to comfort her.
Abruptly, he stood up and swiftly left the dining room like he was being chased by a predator.
"Dave!" Charlotte called out, but he was far long gone, making her frown in confusion. Why was he so eager to leave the dining room? And what could be chasing him that made him forget his phone in the dining room?
