Delete My Love for You novel Chapter 246

Charlotte’s voice was cool and distant. “Once it’s fixed, let me know, Mr. Harrington. I’d rather not stay here any longer than I have to.”

It wasn’t the place she hated—it was him.

Darren understood perfectly. He gave a faint smile. “As you wish.”

With that, he turned, swept aside the heavy tent flap, and strode out into the howling, merciless blizzard.

Inside, Charlotte’s brow was furrowed tight.

As you wish?

Did she mishear him?

In all her memories, Darren was the type to issue orders, never to lower himself like that… The thought left an unfamiliar frustration churning in her chest.

Outside, the wind still screamed, rattling the world.

Darren finished directing the repair crew, personally checking each connection before finally retreating to his own tent, his coat dusted with snow and his face raw from the cold.

He pushed open the thick canvas flap, ready to call for Charlotte, but the words caught in his throat.

Inside, the small tent glowed with a gentle, golden light.

Charlotte lay curled on the narrow cot, wrapped in his coat, her eyes closed in exhausted sleep.

In sleep, her elegant, aloof features softened, taking on a rare gentleness he’d never seen before.

Darren’s steps became featherlight, his breath barely a whisper.

He stood at the edge of the cot, just watching her, drinking in her face as if trying to memorize every line.

He thought of Bradley’s warning, the chip in her brain, and all the pain she’d borne. The ache in his chest was sharp and heavy.

Rubbing his numb hands together for warmth, he pressed his palms to his cheeks, making sure every trace of the freezing wind was gone before he dared to sit on the very edge of the cot.

The mattress creaked softly.

He froze, watching for any sign she might wake, but she slept on, undisturbed. Slowly, he lay down beside her, his arm circling her shoulders with exquisite care, gathering her—and his own coat—gently into his embrace.

She was slender and cold, her body shivering faintly.

Darren barely dared to breathe, afraid even his heartbeat would wake her.
