His eyes bore into her with an intensity that made her uneasy , and the mole at the corner of his eye added an almost otherworldly allure .
He gripped Charlottes arm tightly , and the pressure made her wince in pain .
Excuse me , sir .
Who are you ? Could you let go of me ? Charlotte tried to pull her arm free .
But the mans hold only tightened .
Charlotte gasped in pain .
Jayce ! 2/7 Arthurs cold voice rang out , cutting through the tense moment .
Let her go .
Jayce ? Jayce Caldwell ? Charlotte thought in disbelief , her eyes widening .
She hadnt realized the man before she was Edwards grandson , Jayce .
The room had been dim that day , and she hadnt gotten a good look at him .
I remember you , Jayce said , ignoring Arthur entirely .
His eyes remained fixed on Charlotte .
Could you please release me first ? Charlottes voice wavered as she felt the blood draining from her arm .
fore 3/7 Jayce didnt seem to hear her .
Ive seen you before , he repeated .
It was only then that Charlotte realized the gravity of the situation .
The day she went upstairs , she had tried to enter the room , but he had dropped something , knocking her mask off .
She realized that he might have seen her face at that time .
After all , she had been married to Arthur for five years , and she had never seen Jayce ! She thought , This is bad .
If he keeps talking , Arthur may discover my secret identity .
Before 4/7 Her heart raced as she hastily nodded .
Oh , sir , maybe you saw me at our wedding ? Im so sorry .
Ive lost my memory and dont remember much .
May I ask who you are ? Jayce pressed his lips together , his gaze stubbornly locked on her .
Ive seen you , he insisted .
Charlotte froze .
She thought , What does he want from me ? Arthur stepped in , prying Jayces hand off Charlottes arm .
He frowned and asked , Did you come alone ? Jayce shook off Arthurs hand and continued staring at Charlotte .
etore Arthur stepped between them , his tone icy .
Jayce , shes my wife , Charlotte .
At these words , Jayces expression flickered with a change in emotion , his eyes momentarily revealing a crack of vulnerability .
His already pale face seemed even more fragile as if he had been struck by a deep sense of loss .
Charlottes heart pounded .
She feared Jayce might say something that would expose her .
5/7 But looking at his broken , sorrowful expression , she suddenly felt a twinge of pity for him .
Jayce parted his lips , and after a long pause , he hoarsely said , Its my pleasure to meet you , Charlotte .
efore Charlotte quickly nodded .
Nice to meet you .
6/7 Arthur frowned .
Didnt Delia come with you ? Jayce had severe depression and uncontrollable mood swings .
Delia Becker , his bodyguard , had been by his side for years .
Jayce said nothing , his gaze occasionally drifting back to Charlotte .
Feeling uneasy under his scrutiny , Charlotte excused herself .
Ill go to the restroom .
She didnt want to be exposed .
She knew she needed to come up with a plan .
Soon , Delia arrived , her face full of worry .
ve seen TOU Before TO Im sorry , Mr.
Caldwell .
I should have stayed with you the whole time .
Jayce looked down , silent , his demeanor distant and guarded .
Arthurs eyes softened briefly with 7/7 helplessness .
Do you like being at events like this ? No , Jayce rasped .
Then go home , Arthur said .
Jayce replied , I came to find someone .
