Morning.
On this day, Charlotte woke up and went downstairs, unexpectedly seeing Robert Stephens still in the dining room having breakfast.
Sunlight fell on the marble table, illuminating the young man in a white shirt. His defined features made the shadows on his face appear more pronounced, and without having seen each other face-to-face for a few days, this man seemed even more handsome.
Charlotte paused slightly at the entrance of the dining room, hesitated for half a second, but eventually walked in, sitting across from Robert as usual.
The servants had long noticed the undercurrents between her and Robert these days, and they placed the prepared breakfast in front of her cautiously before filing out.
Breakfast was sandwiches and creamy soup. Charlotte had just cut a slice of sandwich and put it in her mouth when she heard the man across from her set down his dining knife. He stood up, turned, and walked out of the dining room.
