Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 116

【Director Winthrop has a child with Mr. Howard?】

【Oh my God! Director Winthrop and Mr. Howard have a kid together!】

The explosive rumor tore through the group chat, setting everyone abuzz as they gossiped about the child during work breaks.

Charlotte couldn't help but laugh to herself.

Tricia must have posted that photo just to make sure she saw it.

She saved the picture to her phone, and as soon as she exited the chat, Tricia deleted the photo:

【Oops, sorry everyone, wrong picture.】

【Come on, Director Winthrop, why bother deleting it? We all saw it already!】

The teasing started immediately.

Tricia replied:

【Oh well, it was a mistake! But keep it to yourselves, okay?】

Charlotte's lips curled up in a sly smile as she read the message.

She might as well give them a little push.

She forwarded the photo straight to her mother-in-law, Miranda:

【Mom, you have a grandson now.】

Miranda was at the spa with several friends, getting their usual facials. She glanced at her phone, frowning when she saw Charlotte's message.

The moment she opened the photo, she bolted upright on the treatment bed.

A woman nearby gave her a puzzled look. "Miranda, what's wrong? Don't tell me your husband's cheating?"

"He wouldn't dare!" Miranda snapped, yanking off her blanket and getting up to call Evander.

After just two rings, he answered, "Mom? What's up?"

Miranda kept her voice cool. "Where are you right now?"

"Out," he replied.

"With who?"

Evander glanced towards the carousel, stood up from the park bench, and pulled out his cigarette case. "Just talking things over with a friend."

"Talking about what? About your child?"

He paused, a cigarette halfway to his lips, and lifted his eyes. "What are you getting at?"

Miranda knew he was lying and let out a sharp, incredulous laugh. "Evander, are you at the amusement park with Tricia and a child? You told me that wasn't your kid. Are you lying to me?"

Evander's face clouded over. "Who told you that?"

And now, Evander actually let that woman leave her mark on him too!

Evander scooped Hans up. "Tired already? Want to go home?"

Hans nodded, but the truth was, he hadn't dared enjoy himself—his mother only wanted him to stick close to Mr. Howard…

"Evander, who was that on the phone?" Tricia asked tentatively.

She'd sent the photo to the office group chat on purpose; Charlotte must have seen it. Was this call from—

Evander set Hans down and adjusted his cap. "My mother."

Not Charlotte…

Tricia was a little disappointed.

So that woman really knows how to keep her cool.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was meeting Wesley as promised, aboard a yacht docked on the Royalis River.

Mrs. Rayburn was there too, cuddling a porcelain doll as if it were a real baby, her face lit up with a radiant smile.

Wesley transferred her $10,000. "Here's your payment."

Charlotte glanced at the notification and laughed dryly. "You're awfully generous, Mr. Rayburn."

Who knew? Even after being suspended from work, she was earning ten grand a day just for looking after a patient with a psychiatric disorder. Not a bad deal at all.
