After divorce I am a billionaire
chapter 45 Defend Her Because She's Pretty
Katelyn was about to question Charlotte when Jamie and Melvin came this way, side by side.
Seeing the man that she thought she could seek protection from, Charlotte instantly pounced over, crying, "Melvin..."
Melvin took a glance at him and pursed his lips without saying anything.
In the dim light, his expression was somewhat dour.
Jamie saw Charlotte's ruined makeup and asked, "What's going on?"
The guests gathered around helped to explain the situation. Although they were biased towards Charlotte, they didn't say anything too harsh considering that they didn't dare mess with Cody, and that they were really amazed by Lyra's dance.
As Jamie listened, he basically understood what happened.
Putting on a smile on his face, he apologized to the guest and let them continue with their dinner; then he comforted Charlotte with a few words, and went back to the main banquet hall with the others.
Charlotte was still whimpering as she went to take Melvin's hand. She pouted like an innocent little girl, "Melvin, don't blame Lyra. She's probably in a bad mood because of our engagement."
Melvin was looking down at her, asking impassively, "What did you just say to her?"
She was stunned by the question and looked up to see that Melvin seemed to be upset, so she hurriedly explained, "We're about to get engaged, so I just wanted her to give us her blessing. I didn't expect her to get angry and that was why she splashed me."
"Really?" Melvin furrowed his brow, the look on his face growing grimmer.
Charlotte, pushing her sliver of luck, nodded, and her grip on his arm tightened.
Almost instantly, he drew back his arm, "Lottie, I'm really getting confused about you."
Charlotte choked.
It was the first time he talked to her in such an emotionless tone. Was it because he saw it?
She did not dare to continue to pretend. If Melvin did see something, her continuing to cover it up would only increase his disgust.
"Melvin, Lyra laughed at me with the ugly photo she took of my stage accident, so I was pissed off at that time and wanted to splash her... I haven't changed, Melvin. I'm still the same me."
Melvin didn't say anything and just let Charlotte chatter.
