Chapter 14 Too High maintenance Charlotte didnt dwell on it .
She resolved not to care about his well being any longer .
Arthur caught her glancing at him , and his expression shifted slightly .
He opened his mouth as if to speak , but she quickly looked away , her eyes aloof .
Arthur clenched the documents tightly , irritation surging inside him .

The atmosphere in the car grew tense .
Soon , they arrived at the Harrison Villa .
Charlotte stepped out and waited for Arthur to lead the way .
Mindful that others saw her as someone with memory loss , she couldnt show any flaws around him ; otherwise , he would make her life difficult and refuse to agree to the divorce .
Arthur strode in , with Charlotte following closely .
They found Jennifer sitting on the couch , sipping coffee .
Mom , you wanted to see us ? Arthur asked .
Jennifer set her cup down and glanced at Charlotte .
You mentioned you lost your memory .
How much do you remember ? Charlotte took a seat on the couch .
I dont recognize any of you anymore , she replied .
Jennifer frowned .
So you told Julius you didnt want him ? At this , Arthur cast a sharp , cold gaze at Charlotte .
She had actually said something like that to their son ? Was she crazy ? Jennifers disapproving look intensified , and Arthurs glare was icy , as if they were judging her for a grave sin .
Charlotte found the reactions absurd .
When she had devoted herself to caring for them , they had been dissatisfied .
Now that she was exhausted from it all , they still wanted to criticize her .
They were so high maintenance .
Remaining calm , Charlotte replied , Hes my son , but hes quite rude .
While I was in the hospital after my accident , he was busy thinking about another woman .
Why would I want such a son ? To torture myself ? Jennifer slammed her hand on the table in frustration .
Charlotte , thats out of line ! Youre Juliuss mother ! Hes only five years old .
Dont you worry about the harm your words may cause him ? Arthurs expression darkened .
You told him you didnt want him over such a trivial matter ? Charlotte , youve really gone too far .
Even if she had lost her memory , Julius 5/6 was still her son , and she used to love him dearly .
How could she say that ? Charlotte felt her anger boiling .
A trivial matter ? This kind of matter happened every time Julius returned home .
He was indifferent towards her , treating her with coldness and showing no respect .
He had never relied on her and even despised her role as a housewife , thinking it brought him shame .
Once , she had passed by the study and overheard a conversation between Arthur and Julius .
Dad , why is Mom home all the time ? My friends parents all have jobs and are う successful .
I dont think thats good , Julius had said .
Arthur had replied , She doesnt need to do anything as my wife .
Julius had shot back , But she has no self worth at all .
Im embarrassed to have her as my mom .
Enough .
Go study , Arthur had responded , not scolding Julius for his disrespect , merely telling him to focus on his schoolwork .
Charlotte had stood at the door , stunned and deeply upset by the exchange .
