At this time, it was already late at night, and it was the outskirts of the city, so it was already empty everywhere, and there was no sound of people in sight. The moon hung high in the sky, bringing a cold dark light to the earth, which did not brighten the earth, but only made it disappear in a blurred shadow. The cold wind weaved through the alleys and trees, making an unpleasant rustling sound.

Charles still stood dumbfounded, as if a century had passed.

The late night of winter was shockingly cold, but the chill that came out of his heart and bone marrow made him feel even more cold.

Charlotte, who stood in the distance, stared at him equally motionlessly, dressed in a black dress and wearing a black hat, like a widowed widow. It is also this dress that makes her even more white and lovely in the moonlight.

However, at this time, Charles could no longer appreciate his fiancée's beauty, and he finally recovered from a long period of distraction.

Charlotte's expression was very calm, as if she had just seen him on the street, just watching them all the time. However, despite the appearance, Charles could clearly see that her hands and skirt were trembling slightly, and she was clearly angry to the extreme.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! How so! His heart roared loudly. Perhaps it should be a wail.

Even now, he wouldn't be lucky enough to guess that Charlotte just happened to come here by chance, Charlotte knew her itinerary tonight, and then waited here intentionally.

Until now, he still didn't know how Charlotte knew his whereabouts and how she became suspicious of him, but he knew perfectly well that he had given Charlotte a big surprise tonight.

It's so big that he doesn't even know how to end it.

Charles was in a flustered mood now, and he rarely knew what to do—this sudden change of mood from joy to sorrow made it difficult for Charles to remain calm even as usual.

Although I have vaguely thought about "what will happen if I do all the bad things Charlotte finds out......" but because it is too unimaginable, Charles has always let himself stop thinking about it.

However, this self-deception has finally ushered in the day when it will be shattered. And faster than Charles would like to imagine.

What to do, what to do?

It was then that Charles realized that he was still holding Matilda's waist and quickly put his hand down.

And Charlotte finally moved at this time, she stared at the two men deadly, and then walked over to this side step by step.

Her footsteps were soft, but they were heard in Charles' ears. The sound of this pause was like a giant hammer beating in my heart. It made his heart beat wildly.

It's time to find a way...... Charles shook his heart.

After taking a few quick breaths of the cold winter air, which pierced his lungs and made his lungs feel a faint pain, he used the pain to make his nerves more awake.

Then, he took a few steps towards Charlotte and pinned Matilda behind him. No matter what, he had to show some responsibility, and not let the misfortune reach Matilda.

Charlotte...... I'm sorry. He looked at Charlotte apologetically, but couldn't figure out how to discourage her, "I'm really sorry......"

But. Charlotte didn't respond to him, just walked over to herself, and then stopped when there were only a dozen steps left.

"Charlotte, will you listen to me? I know I'm sorry for you......" Charles said, walking over to her again, "but, actually, ......"

"Don't come here!" That's when it happened. Charlotte suddenly let out a loud shout.

The snap was so sharp that Charles could only stand still, not daring to lean in again.

This interruption, as if it was touching a switch, made a look of pain appear on Charlotte's frozen face. She looked at Charles. He kept shaking his head, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes.

"I should have known this a long time ago...... I should have thought of it a long time ago! A conscientious dog like you...... How could Tianliang find out? She muttered to herself, her tone seemed to be extremely painful, "You have never loved me, you have always deceived me, and you are laughing at me in your heart...... That's right, you read me right. I was so stupid that I actually believed you...... I actually believe you again and again! ”

"Not really." Charles tried to make his tone as soft as he could, "Charlotte, don't be cranky, yes, I did do something sorry for you, but...... Whether you believe it or not, I still respect you and love you, otherwise I wouldn't have married you, don't you know me? ”

As she spoke, Charles gestured with her hand behind her back, trying to tell Matilda to leave quickly.

"That's just to make your grandfather happy and get my dowry by the way, right? You're not here to love me at all! Charlotte retorted sharply, "And our family's property...... As a result, I'm stupid enough to help you deal with my own people! I'm really ......."

As soon as she said this, a little tear crossed her eyes. "I'm ridiculously stupid, am I? You must have laughed at me countless times in your heart, right? ”

Where did you think of it? After hearing this, even in such a sinister environment, Charles still felt a little dumb in his heart.

However, he soon couldn't laugh anymore, because at this moment Charlotte's mind was obviously occupied with resentment, and she would never listen to any of his explanations.

"Believe it or not, I'm not going to marry you for a little pose." Charles sighed, knowing that such an explanation was meaningless, but he still couldn't help but explain, "Okay, don't get excited, it's true that I'm sorry for you today." It's getting late now, what's the point of being frozen here? Let's go back first, and when we get back, you can do whatever you want......"

As he had expected, Charles's answer did not touch Charlotte in any way.

Under Charles's gaze, Charlotte's eyes dimmed slightly, and she lowered her gaze,

"You don't have to worry about freezing anymore......"

Charlotte's, suddenly emerged from the darkness.

There seemed to be a dark object in her hand.

It turned out to be a gun!

Charles' eyes widened.

Is it really prepared?

His heart throbbed. Who told her the truth?

Strangely, Charles wasn't particularly scared at the moment - though he definitely didn't want to die.

"Lolot......" he asked in a trembling voice, looking at Charlotte, "do you really hate me so much?" Don't...... Don't you want me to save anything at all? ”

"Maybe only you who are dead belong to me......" Charlotte replied in a whisper.

Then, slowly, she picked up her pistol.

Although the danger signal from the bottom of his heart told Charles that he should now flee and at least think of some other way, it was an indescribable emotion that made him look at Charlotte motionless, waiting for the judgment of fate.

The feeling of regret for Charlotte made him decide to give Charlotte a chance to take revenge on him completely, and gamble his luck like this.

At this time, the distance between two people was about the same as the distance of ordinary people in a duel with a gun, and in this era, the accuracy of pistols was not high, and there were many examples of empty guns in such duels—not to mention novices like Charlotte who had never used a gun much.

Of course, it is true that the risk of Charlotte hitting a shot by mistake cannot be ruled out...... It's not bad to leave it to fate to pronounce the verdict.

I owe her a shot, so it's not bad to let her come and tie it once...... If I don't deserve to die, I'll think of something else. Charles thought to himself.

Under the clear moonlight, there was silence between the two people, as if there was nothing else in the whole world.

"Miss Treville, please don't do that!"

Suddenly, Matilda yells and sends the two of them back into the real world.

Charles couldn't help but turn his head, and then found Matilda still standing behind him, and then he frowned slightly, as if to reproach her for why she didn't run.

Looking at Charles's solemn appearance, Matilda was quite helpless about his sluggishness - if there was really no room for it, Charlotte would have shot it directly! I didn't expect such a smart person to be stupid......

"Miss Tremville, I understand your feelings right now...... To be honest, I'm really sorry for you......" Matilda leaned over from Charles' side, trying to make herself appear calmer, "I don't mean to ruin your marriage to him, but after all, we're just like-minded and that's why we only occasionally get together to play......"

Seeing that Charlotte was still silent, Matilda had a little more expectation in her heart, "Moreover, you just said that Mr. has no feelings for you, which is completely inaccurate, I can assure you that he definitely has no idea of laughing at you, but is full of guilt in his heart, so he has never dared to reveal any rumors to you......"

"Is that what you're talking to me about? Enough, I don't want to hear it! Save this stupidity to your next prey! Just as Matilda was expecting something, Charlotte suddenly interrupted her, her eyes full of contempt and disgust, "Miss, I have nothing to say to you, although you have hurt me, but I do not hate you." It doesn't matter if you hooked up with him on purpose or if you were just seduced by him...... You don't care about shame, that's your own hobby, I don't care, now ...... I have only one request for you, please get out of my sight! It's our own business, let's figure it out on our own! Now, fuck off! (To be continued.)
