Chapter 40 I Need a Drink Looking at Julius like this , Charlotte couldnt help but laugh .
She had once poured her heart out to them , but theyd never cared .
Now that she had made up her mind to leave , suddenly , they all wanted her back .
But life wasnt full of second chances , and regret didnt work like that .
With a cold glance , Charlotte turned and walked away .
Tears welled up in Julius eyes as he took a few steps forward .
Mom … He thought to himself , Im sick , and she still wont comfort me ? Grandma says her memory loss is fake , so is she pretending not to care about me ? Does she really not want me anymore ? Julius felt so sad .
He hadnt done anything wrong , and yet his mother was treating him like this .
Charlottes heart ached , but she didnt stop .
She simply got into her car and drove off .
Once in the car , she called Evie .
Honey , I need a drink .
Evie , always upbeat , responded immediately , Come over ! Ive got tons of alcohol here , and we can drink all night .
Ill call Diana , and well have a blast ! Sounds perfect .
At Night Club .
Evie , the owner , had booked the most luxurious VIP room .
When Charlotte walked in , the table was already covered with an impressive array of drinks .
Evie practically jumped on her .
My darling , Ive missed you so much ! Ive been flying all over for work , and youve been wrapped up in your husband and son , huh ? Did they put a spell on you or something ? She teased , reaching out to mess with Charlottes hair .
Charlotte let her , her heart warming .
3/7 Chapter 40 I Need a Drink She had spent five years neglecting 4/7 herself , but now , returning to a world with good friends still around, she felt so lucky .

Alright , enough with the drama .
Lets drink ! Diana , cool and composed as ever , cut in .
Her icy beauty never seemed to change as she opened a bottle of liquor .
Evie pulled Charlotte to sit and asked , So , youre really done with that scumbag , huh ? Youre not going back to him ? Yep .
Charlotte nodded firmly .
Im done with him .
Evie grinned and clapped her hands .
Thats the spirit ! Honestly , Ive been wanting to tell you .
Arthur is trash .
Hes got someone else ! Years ago , there was this woman , and because of her career , she had to go abroad .
But Arthur stayed behind to take over the family business .
And guess what ? He got drugged , and you , poor thing , got caught up in it .
You two rushed into a marriage , but he already had someone in his heart .
He wont love you .
He cant love you .
Charlottes grip on her glass tightened .
You … you knew ? Evie sighed , I found out by accident , but by then , it was too late .
You had a kid , and your whole world revolved around Arthur .
What could I say ? I was hoping maybe hed fall for you .
But clearly , that didnt happen .
She squeezed Charlottes hand .
So , what made you decide now ? It feels so sudden .
Charlotte gave a bitter smile .
If youd told me sooner , I mightve figured it out faster .
I saw a photo of him with Sarah , and thats when I knew I had to let him go .
Evie froze , guilt washing over her .
Im so sorry .
I shouldve told you sooner .
To make it up to you , drink as much as you want ! After saying that , Eive wanted to drink all the wine in her cup .
Charlotte quickly reassured her , Dont be like that .
Im not angry at you .
Hes in love with someone else , and I wouldve figured it out eventually .
Honestly , I dont care anymore .
If you dont care , then why are your eyes so red ? Diana asked directly .
Charlotte froze , but she didnt answer .
Instead , she just took a long sip of her drink .
Evie didnt hesitate and poured another drink for her , keeping up the pace until Charlottes face was flushed with the effects of the alcohol .
Just then , the door swung open , and a familiar face appeared .
It was Barrett , smiling mischievously .
