Chapter 265: Chapter 265: That person... won't let you go
Edward Stephens let out a light scoff, the sarcasm in his voice almost tangible.
He said, "I thought, to you all, I'm already a dead man."
Charlotte Smith lowered her head, her voice still gentle, "Second Young Master, don’t say things in anger."
"As long as you bear the nStephens for a day, you're a member of the Stephens family."
Edward replied coldly, "Then what's your surname, coming here to criticize?"
Charlotte paused slightly, raising her head to look at Edward Stephens.
Her gaze was as soft as water, her face pale and immaculate; anyone who saw her would think she was a frail
and delicate woman.

somewhat profound.
"I'm doing this for your own good, Second Young Master," she said softly. "He... will call you back sooner or later.
Whether you like it or not. Miss Ginger is a very good person, but eventually, she’s still not a match for you..."
Edward didn’t like her bringing up Daisy Ginger like this, and let out a cold laugh, mocking, "She’s not a match
for me, then who is? You?"
Charlotte lowered her head, obediently apologizing, "It was my mistake, Second Young Master, please don’t be
angry."
What Edward found most irritating was her attitude, like punching cotton—clearly intentionally annoying yet
pretending to be aggrieved.
Edward withdrew his gaze, looked back to the original spot, and said to Charlotte, "I don’t care who sent you

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then raised her head, looking somewhat confused at Edward.
"Second Young Master, how did you beclike this?" She pursed her lips, as if trying to see through the cold
and reserved man before her, to the icy, intelligent young man in her memory. "You are like this, is it..."
Edward interrupted her, "Charlotte, you should go back."
Charlotte pursed her lips, watching Edward's cold and distant gaze, slightly furrowing her brows, but in the end,
she said nothing more and slowly lowered her head.
She somewhat reluctantly clenched her hand as the footsteps in front of her gradually faded away. When she
looked up again, the person had already disappeared from sight, leaving only the winter's cold wind howling in
the shimmering moonlight.
Too willful...
She thought somewhat helplessly.
