Chapter 1443

As the man began to take off his coat, he spoke, "I’ve seen callousness, but never like this with you. Is it really your wish for me to father a child with another woman?"

The warmly lined coat was draped over her, covering her slender form.

Yet she shrugged it off without hesitation and handed it back to him, "What else do you think there could be? That I love you?"

She laughed, her gaze unwavering, "Mr. Charles Carrington, I confess that I was once fond of you. But that’s in the past. That affection, so fickle, was merely because you were my first love. But so much time has passed, I’ve long forgotten. Even if I do marry in the future, it most certainly won’t be with you. Is that clear enough?"

The look on Charles’s face was unutterably lonely, his eyes hazy as he stared at her. After a few long seconds, he finally spoke, "Chloe Collins has already acknowledged her lineage, aren’t you planning on letting Dawn return?"

As expected, it was about this matter again.

Layla Lowell’s brow furrowed, "No way! She’s a Lowell not a Carrington. Wherever I am, she’ll be too!"

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I won’t pressure you. But there’s something I’d like to ask of you."

"What is it?"

"I will be temporarily taking over as president of Carrington Enterprise for the next three months. You have experience in this area, so I’d like your help."

At this, Layla Lowell laughed, "Me, help you? Do you think that’s possible?"

He smiled slowly, but his stare held a hint of sadness.

"I don’t like this job, you helping me would mean that I won’t mention Dawn’s return again."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of anger rose in Layla Lowell’s heart. She turned her back to him, saying indignantly, "No deal! I don’t have the time. I’m graduating after this term ends, I need to work on my thesis. I won’t have the time!"

"Dawn told me that your thesis is already in its final draft."

She was stunned; she never expected him to know about that.

"Well... I still have to do my postgraduate re-examination."

"Hmm, that’s in a few days, right? I’ll wait for you to finish."

"You..."

She stared at him with wide almond eyes. Seeing his patient waiting, her thoughts suddenly took a turn.

"Fine, I’ll do it. But I have a condition."

"Let’s hear it."

A wilful smile graced her lips as she said, "I’ll reserve that for now. Anyway, regardless of what I say, you have to agree."

Charles Carrington saw a trap waiting for him to leap into.

He chuckled lightly, his gaze gentle, "I promise."

"You said it, I’ve recorded it. So if you deny it..."

"If I deny it, I’ll leave it up to you to handle me." After saying this, he took her hand and headed for his car.

"Hey, where are we going now!"

"To arrange your accommodation, it’s a company benefit."

"I’m not going!"

"There’s a surprise." He murmured into her ear, sending a jolt of surprise through her.

His gentle voice stunned her for a brief second.

Just like that, she was ushered into the car.

The largest advertisement on a sixty-story building showcased the latest campaign of a top-tier male star.

Damien Hart, a superstar who had been popular since his debut, due to a number of successful projects and frequent accolades. He was also personable, garnering a large fanbase across all age segments.

As one of his dedicated fans, Layla Lowell still adored him.

Of course, it was a fan’s love for her idol, without any extraneous elements.

When she saw the massive advertising billboard from the balcony, she was completely bewildered for several seconds.

The position of this house was excellent, with a riverside view and she could see her favorite idol.
