Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 650

Three days after the Rayburn engagement party, no major scandal had erupted. Word was that Mr. Rayburn had sent representatives to apologize and deliver gifts to all the invited guests. Everyone simply treated the occasion as a happy union between the Rayburn and Chase families; as for who the groom was, that was the Rayburns' private affair.

Meanwhile, in the three days since she'd received Hiram's message, Evander hadn't replied to a single text or made a single call.

But more than worrying about him, she was worried about Grandma Rosemary.

Sean noticed Charlotte's anxiety and brought it up at dinner. "If you're worried, you can go and see for yourself."

She paused, then looked up, having considered this for a long time. "I was just about to talk to you about that..."

"I know," Sean said with a wave of his hand. "You couldn't bring yourself to ask, so I'm bringing it up for you. Even though I'm not thrilled about you going to the Capital."

He sighed and continued, "But I was thinking, you grew up in the Capital. Maybe you'd want to go back and visit."

Charlotte put down her fork and bowl. "While I'm there, I was also planning to see Hiram."

"Hiram?" Sean pondered. "Your adoptive parents' son?"

She nodded. "I'm the only family he has left now. I'm his sister in name, and I've been his sister for so many years. I should go back and see him."

Sean smiled and nodded. "That's a good idea." Then a thought occurred to him. "If he's open to it, you could always recommend him for a position at your brother's company. It would be easier to look after him that way."

"Pulling strings, are we?" Charlotte asked with a frank smile. "I'll ask him if he's interested."

Sean suddenly grew serious. "In this day and age, there are plenty of capable people who can't catch a break. The foundations built by one generation are meant to benefit the next; that's an opportunity many families never have. So, for ordinary people, pulling strings can be a lifeline. After all, not every talented person meets the right mentor."

Charlotte immediately understood her father's meaning and nodded. "Okay."
