Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1317

“Charlotte,” Louis uttered and reached out to take her hand. His eyes turned red as he pleaded, “Never
mind if you don’t love me, as long as you remain by my side. I want to see you and keep you company
every day. Please?”



His antics had Charlotte completely lost. She didn’t know how to respond to his desperate and pitiful
plea.

She thought Louis would’ve forgotten about her after some time, but clearly, he was still hung up on her.

“Charlotte, come back to me. Please…”

Without warning, Louis flung his arms around Charlotte and hugged her tightly, rendering her short of
breath.





Instead of disentangling herself from his arms, Charlotte allowed him to hold her. She knew she shouldn’t
provoke him now by struggling out of his reach.

Just then, a Rolls-Royce zoomed past them. Zachary, who was in the car, happened to see them in a
tight embrace.



Instinctively, Charlotte looked up and met Zachary’s gaze. Once she realized the iciness and anger in his
eyes, her heart sank. She immediately shoved Louis away.

Alas, both cars had driven past each other by then.



“Charlotte…” Louis reached out for another hug, but Charlotte knitted her brows and snapped, “Louis, if
you do that again, I shall get off this car.”

Louis’ hands stopped midair. He fell silent, not daring to offend her anymore.

Charlotte wound up the window and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Zachary must’ve seen us. I wonder what he thinks of me. Ah, forget it. There’s no way we’ll get back
together, so it doesn’t matter what he thinks.



“Charlotte, what should I do so you’ll come back to me?” Louis asked tenderly. “I can’t live without you.”

“Louis, grow up.” Charlotte earnestly tried to make him see reason. “Life will always go on, even if we
don’t end up together. Not every relationship ends in marriage. Though we’re no longer together, we can
still be friends. Don’t be stubborn—”

“I tried,” Louis cried. “But I can’t do it!”

“You can,” Charlotte insisted. “Actually, you should make more friends, especially girls who are amazing.
That way, you won’t be hung up on me.”

“No, you’re the most amazing girl in the world,” Louis exclaimed. “You’re the only girl I love…”

Charlotte fell silent, not knowing what else to say.

“Er, I think that was Sir Louis pestering Ms. Lindberg.” Ben quickly spoke up to lighten the situation. “He
followed her all the way back to Northridge, so she had no choice but to get into his car. Yes, that must
be it—”

“Stop talking.” Zachary lowered his gaze calmly, as though what he saw earlier didn’t faze him at all.



Yet, Ben saw the flicker of emotions in his gaze.

It’s not good to keep everything to himself, Ben thought worriedly.

Lost in thought, he heard his phone buzzing. It was a call from Nancy. Answering it, he greeted, “Hello,
Ms. Gold.”

“I texted Mr. Nacht, but he didn’t reply. That’s why I called,” came Nancy’s gentle voice. “I want to invite
him to dinner tonight. Is he free?”

“Er, well…” Ben turned to look at Zachary.

The latter took the phone from him and told Nancy, “Send the address.”

“Yes, I’ll do that now,” Nancy responded, delighted at his reply.

After hanging up, Zachary ordered, “Go to the restaurant.”

“Yes.” The driver promptly turned the car around.

It was obvious to Ben that his employer was mad, but he couldn’t really say anything. He can be with
anyone as long as that makes him happy. His condition is deteriorating. If he spends all day brooding,
that won’t benefit his condition. Though Charlotte upsets him every day, Nancy can heal him. That’s good
enough. They won’t end up together, so they should enjoy each other’s company for now.
