Chapter 725 A Wedding Gift Yes, this gown was designed by Grace specifically for Charlotte when she learned that Charlotte was going to host a bachelorette party. She worked through the night to make it. In order to deliver this dress on time, she even used the Fucile family’s private jet just to send this one dress over. “Are you sure you won’t regret this?” Lena gazed into Charlotte’s eyes, remembering how painful the first year had been for her. She had witnessed Charlotte’s suffering. Enter title… That was precisely why she found it somewhat unbelievable that Charlotte was willing to give Joe another chance. Charlotte smiled. Since reuniting with Joe, it wasn’t just Joe’s actions that had touched her. She had also discovered some things she had never thought about before.
“To be honest, what happened back then, apart from Joe, I also had my faults,” Charlotte said softly, sitting on the terrace by the sea, looking at the starry sky above. Lena widened her eyes in surprise. “What are you saying?” Charlotte quickly explained, “Don’t worry, I’m not trying to defend Joe. His mistakes are unquestionable. When I said I was wrong, I was referring to myself.” Back then, when she fell into the trap set by the White Family and slept with Joe, she actually had some chances to escape. It was just that she carried a glimmer of hope in her heart, which led to her marrying Joe in a state of confusion.
After marriage, she failed to maintain her sense of self and became entirely focused on Joe. Everything she did revolved around his likes and dislikes. Such a relationship was inherently abnormal, and its eventual end was not surprising. “In a way, these past few years have been good for me,” Charlotte smiled at Lena, her eyes shining brightly without a trace of darkness. “After going through this, I’ve come to understand that the most important person we should love is ourselves,” Charlotte raised her glass and finished it in one gulp. “Even if I were to marry Joe again, I wouldn’t invest all my thoughts in him as I did before, and I certainly won’t lose my independence because of him.” Her smile deepened. “Even if I make the same mistake again, what does it matter? As long as I have the courage to start, I can handle all the consequences.” After Charlotte finished speaking, Lena quietly looked at her for a while before chuckling lightly. “You’re right, the current you are truly radiant.” They exchanged a glance, and both burst into laughter. “Didn’t expect to find you here,” Gideon arrived at this moment. When he saw Lena beside Charlotte, he hesitated for a moment and then awkwardly averted his gaze. He placed a box in front of Charlotte. “This is a wedding gift I prepared for you. It can be your confidence booster no matter when.” Charlotte opened the box and was surprised to find a set of keys inside. Lena gave a meaningful look to Gideon and said to Charlotte, “This is the villa we designed together, which could also be considered your family home.” Charlotte accepted the box and glanced back and forth between Lena and Gideon, feeling somewhat puzzled. She asked, “Why do I feel like something’s
off between you two?” Gideon’s expression stiffened, and he replied in a solemn tone, “I can’t join your bachelorette party, so I’ll take my leave…” Before he could finish his words, he hastily turned and left. His behavior confirmed Charlotte’s suspicions, and she turned to Lena, demanding, “What exactly happened between you two? I’ve never seen him so agitated.”
