Love Worth Fighting For

437 A Trap for Christian

After successfully parking her car properly, Charlotte then took her favorite powder out of her bag to make sure her makeup looked perfect. Thirty minutes ago when talking to Christian on phone Charlotte pretended to be sad until she finally shed tears and at this time she wanted to show the same sadness to Christian who was waiting for her at her favorite ice cream restaurant.

“Ok, I think this is enough,” Charlotte said quietly while blinking her eyes which she had just given eye drops to.

Because she didn’t want the fake tears in her eyes to dry, Charlotte got out of her car and immediately walked into the restaurant where Christian was waiting.

“Charlotte.” Christian raises his hand up, calling out to Charlotte who just entered.

Charlotte, who was indeed looking for Christian’s whereabouts, immediately walked quickly towards him.

“Sorry for making you wait so long,” Charlotte said softly, continuing her act which had been interrupted.

Christian who noticed Charlotte’s tears, immediately took out his handkerchief. “Wipe your tears with this, if anyone else saw it they would think you were crying because of me.”

“Indeed I cried because of you,” said Charlotte quickly, as fast as she reached for a handkerchief from Christian.

Christian purses his lips. “Forgive me.”

.....

Charlotte who was wiping her fake tears gave a small smile. “No, you’re innocent. I’m the one who’s guilty for not daring to be honest with you from the start.”

“Cherry…”

“Okay, forget it.” Charlotte pulled her left hand off the table, avoiding Christian’s attempts to touch hers. “Now tell me, what do you want to talk about? Didn’t you call earlier saying you wanted to have a serious talk with me.”

Christian purses his lips. “I want to make amends to you.”

“Eh?”

“Hearing your confession made me feel very guilty and to be honest I was very uneasy, I really didn’t know that you had such feelings for me Charlotte.This stupid me is not good at feeling a woman’s feelings, so please give me a chance to make amends to you. I’ll do anything to make up for all the sins I’ve committed in the past for breaking your heart again and again,” Christian said earnestly. “I don’t want to be a bad man.”

Charlotte, who did not expect to hear words like that from Christian, looked very surprised, she was even silent for a few seconds because she was too shocked. The person who had been ignoring all his attention and affection suddenly offered to make up for all his mistakes. Charlotte felt that there were hundreds of butterflies fluttering in her chest at this moment, she was really very happy. Looks like he no longer needs to ask for Johan’s help to get Christian because Christian himself came to her uninvited.

“Cher…”

“But you’re already married now Christ and I’m sure you won’t be able to do what I want,” Charlotte said softly pretending to be sad.

Christian raises one eyebrow. “What do you mean, what does this have to do with my current status?”

Charlotte smiled. “I want you Christ.”

“Charlotte!!!”

“That’s all I want,” Charlotte added back quickly. “I only want you Christ, that’s why I said earlier that you definitely won’t be able to grant what I want.”

“Is there no other way I can do it? I can’t possibly leave my wife, she is pregnant with our second child and you also know that our relationship is not going well. We have gone through many obstacles and problems over the years to be together like this Cherry.”

Charlotte lowered her head deeply, Charlotte was really giving all of her best this time. She doesn’t want to waste the good opportunity that comes, Charlotte must succeed in shaking Christian’s heart. If it is true that Christian cannot leave his wife, at least she can make Christian feel great guilt, because if that happens, it is not impossible for her to force Christian to leave Zwetta. Evil plans immediately popped up in Charlotte’s head, associating with Johan, who had given her a fetus in her womb, had made Charlotte an evil and selfish woman.

“Cher…”

“I can’t think Christ, I’m also confused with my heart. I don’t know what to say, let alone to you.” Charlotte cut Christian off in a hoarse voice close to tears. Looks like the Grammys really should give Charlotte an Oscar. “I also don’t want you to hurt Zwetta, especially now that she’s pregnant with your second child. The child who was present replaced Luna who left very quickly.”

Christian was silent, his two blue eyes kept staring at Charlotte who was still busy wiping tears using the handkerchief he gave her.

“Maybe I was destined by God to be single for the rest of my life.”

“Charlotte.” Christian immediately reacted violently. “Don’t speak carelessly, God will grant your words.”

“It’s okay if it’s what’s best for me,” Charlotte said not to be outdone. “I really can’t accept other men, how can I fall in love and open my heart to another man when my heart has been filled with you since I was seven years old.”

Christian’s expression changed. “Forgive me.”

“You don’t need to apologize Christ, haven’t I told you many times? All you need to do now is just pray for me.”

“Praying for you?” Christian repeats Charlotte questioningly.

Charlotte nodded slowly. “Yes, pray for me so that I can make peace with my heart. Pray for me so that I can sincerely let you go, the first love of my life so far.”

“Charlotte..”

“I guess that’s all we can talk about right now.” Charlotte suddenly got up from her chair. “I want to go home and rest, after telling you everything right now my body feels weak.”

“Are you sick? Do you want me to take you or…”

“No Christ.” Charlotte again interrupted Christian’s words for the umpteenth time. “Don’t give your attention to me anymore, the more you pay attention to me the harder it will be for me to let go of you. I can still go home by myself, I’m not a five year old child who can’t take care of herself.”

Without waiting for a response from Christian who looked surprised because he was rejected outright, Charlotte suddenly got up from her seat and rushed away from Christian towards the exit meeting a waitress who brought her favorite ice cream that had been ordered by Christian beforehand. And Christian could only stay in his chair when he saw Charlotte leaving him, Christian could not act rashly by chasing Charlotte. Because the risk that he will bear is quite large, if what he is doing is caught on paparazzi cameras, his popularity will be destroyed. Zwetta and her family would also be sad to see that photo, which is why Christian let Charlotte go with tears rolling down her cheeks like that.

“Ok, the first plan worked. Let’s make preparations for the second plan.” In her car Charlotte poured mineral water from a bottle on her head without hesitation, Charlotte’s triumphant smile was still fixed on Christian which was quite clear from inside her car. “After this you will be mine Christian.”
