"You don't have to worry about us." After saying that, Shane leaned back into his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Charlotte had wanted to discuss the issue with him properly. However, she caught the double meaning in Shane’s words. What did he mean when he said ‘us’? Was he talking about his relationship with her, or was he talking about his relationship with Christopher? If he had meant the latter, wouldn’t that mean…
Charlotte stopped herself from overthinking it. She hoped that it was just her overactive imagination messing with her. Once they got to a restaurant, the couple did not have much of an appetite to enjoy the food properly. They ate in silence.
Soon enough, night came. Charlotte sent Shane back to the villa, but did not get out of the car with Shane.
"Are you going somewhere else?" Shane frowned as he looked at her.
"I’m going to meet a friend." Charlotte shook the phone in her hand. "Call me if you need anything.”
Shane watched her leave.
