Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 337

The head nurse said, “Dr. Sterling is on vacation for a few days.”

Stevenson’s face fell, disappointment etched in his features. He asked, “Do you know when she’ll be back?”

“I’m not sure about that. Is there something I can help you with?”

“I…”

Stevenson hesitated, words catching in his throat. At that moment, Judd approached. “She’ll be back in a few days, Mr. Donovan. If you need anything in the meantime, you can come to me.”

“This is one of our specialists,” the head nurse added with a smile. “Anything Dr. Sterling can handle, Dr. Carstairs can take care of as well!”

Stevenson forced a stiff smile. “It’s not about a medical issue… Never mind.”

He turned to leave, moving slowly. Judd narrowed his eyes. “Is it about your daughter?”

Stevenson froze mid-step.

…

Charlotte returned to the hotel, and as she stepped inside, she spotted Natalie in the lobby. Not far behind her, a Bentley idled at the curb. Charlotte immediately guessed what was going on.

She walked straight to the car and knocked on the window.

The rear window rolled down slowly, revealing the silhouette of a man.

“Mr. Howard, you wanted to see me?”

“You went to see a lawyer today, didn’t you?”

Charlotte’s expression faltered for a moment, but she managed a strained smile. “I did. Unfortunately, Mr. Howard, you have such a fearsome reputation that no one wants to take my case.”

He let out a quiet laugh. “Then I suppose we’re not getting divorced.”

Her smile vanished. She said nothing.

“Your grandmother knows you’re back in town. She sent me to bring you home…” He paused, then added unhurriedly, “For dinner.”

“I’ve already repaid all my debts to your grandmother. I don’t owe her anything, so I don’t have to show up just to save face, do I?”

She made to leave, but Evander rested his arm on the window frame. “As long as we’re still married, you’re still her granddaughter-in-law.”

Well, great.

Charlotte clenched her jaw, then circled around and slipped into the car.

Evander smiled quietly, saying nothing more.

Back at the old family estate, Linette, who hadn’t seen Charlotte in ages, was momentarily stunned before hurrying over to fuss and check on her.

Charlotte trailed behind Evander, chatting softly with Linette. Evander didn’t bother waiting for her.

Eventually, Charlotte and Linette entered the living room. Ilse Sylvan Howard and her daughter, Genevieve, were deep in conversation. When they saw Charlotte, their expressions shifted—something uneasy, almost wary.
