Chapter 1566
As soon as Kya saw Charlie, she bolted towards him, completely ecstatic.
Charlie bent down to lift her up, his eyes full of delight. He planted a kiss on her forehead and asked, “Did you miss
me?”
“Yes!” Kya’s face lit up with pure joy as she tightly held on to Charlie’s neck.
Watching the affectionate father-daughter duo, Emily had her mind preoccupied with what she had overheard
upstairs. She didn’t intervene in their sweet interaction because she knew they might soon be separated.
Charlie looked at Emily, his eyes deep and thoughtful. “I noticed you guys were here when I saw Estelle. Why don’t
you go chat with her and let Kya hang out with me?”
“No need. Josiah is your cousin and it’s his engagement today. You must be busy too. Kya can stay with me. She’s a
good girl, Emily replied nonchalantly. “All the tasks that needed to be done are over. Kya’s staying with me. You
don’t have to worry about it, Charlie insisted, turning around with Kya in his arms and walking away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmily watched as Kya, perched on Charlie’s shoulder, beamed at her. It seemed Kya was thoroughly enjoying the
tall man’s broad shoulders, finally not having to follow others around but instead having a chance to look down on
them.
Charlie didn’t give Emily a chance to respond. Being tall with long strides, he quickly disappeared from sight.
Emily watched their receding figures before heading towards Amiee’s private lounge
Charlie first took Kya for some food, then they played in the hotel’s children’s play area for a bit. Seeing her getting
tired, he took her upstairs for a nap.
In the upstairs suite reserved for guests, Carson, Andrew and others were having drinks with Josiah, the place
buzzing with chatter and laughter.
Charlie entered, settling down on the balcony’s couch with Kya in his arms.
Basking in the sun, Kya rested her head on his lap and quickly fell asleep.
Charlie found that Kya seemned very comfortable around him. Even in unfamiliar surroundings and among
strangers, she slept soundly
Josiah brought over a thin blanket and chuckled, “Do you need a separate room for her to rest?”
“No need, Charlie took the blanket and carefully draped it over Kya. “Let her nap for a bit. If she sleeps too much,
she won’t want to sleep at night. It’ll mess up her internal clock.”
Josiah sat across them. He looked at the sleeping Kya and asked, “Have you fully embraced Kya as your daughter?”
Charlie’s face softened, “I just really want to care for her.”
“Because of Emily?” Josiah queried, raising an eyebrow.
“I don’t know, maybe,” Charlie replied casually
“Does your mom know about you and Emily?” Josiah asked.
Charlie’s voice was low, “I don’t know, and I don’t plan on telling her anytime soon.”
“Why not?” Josiah frowned, “Aren’t you serious about Emily?”
Charlie shook his head, quietly saying, “Emily isn’t very sure about our relationship. It’s not safe to introduce her to
my parents now. If my mom disapproves, Emily will definitely leave me.”
He hadn’t sought Emily out lately, but he had been doing a lot of thinking. He was very sure that his feelings for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmily weren’t just a fleeting fascination or
a playful fling. He wanted a stable relationship with her and wanted it to last. But he didn’t really know Emily’s true
intentions.
So, it wasn’t the right time to introduce her to his parents.
Josiah nodded in understanding. “Emily’s a good girl. If you’re serious, don’t be irresponsible towards her”
Charlie scoffed, “Do I really need you to tell me how to date?”
Do your previous flings even count as ‘dating? Josiah retorted disdainfully
“Shut up You’re going to wake Kya Charte snapped
“What’s so great about your Josiah shot back, smirking But his eyes betrayed jealousy when he looked at Kya, Tm
getting married to Amiee by the end of the year and we’ll have a baby next year!”.
Charlie retorted. “Then you still have to wait another year
“What’s wrong with wating a year? The baby Amice will have is mine i don’t have to worry about the mother of my
child leaving me with the baby Josiah fired back
Charlie’s face darkened instantly Furing he spat ‘Get out if you utter another word 1 make sure your engagement
