Chapter 1572
Emily was a bit taken aback, whipping her head towards Charlie with a bit of an angry tone, “You’re overthinking
this!”
She glared at him. He actually accused her of being suspicious and petty!
Kya, playing nearby, looked up at the sound, her little brow furrowed, “Mommy, don’t get angry. Talk nicely.”
Emily was speechless.
Seeing Kya defend him, Charlie felt delighted and patted her head, “Kya is such a good girl!”
Seeing Kya yawn, Emily picked her up saying, “I’ll take her for a bath and put her to bed.”
-“I’ll do it. I haven’t told Kya a story in a while,” Charlie offered.
Kya also reached out for Charlie, “I want Uncle Charlie to tuck me in.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmily sighed, “I’ll give her a bath first then.”
It was getting late and Kya, after a day full of play, obediently took a bath, put on her pajamas, and laid in bed. But
she insisted on staying awake until Charlie came to tell her a story.
Once Charlie arrived, Emily handed Kya over to him and went to sleep in the adjacent room.
Emily leaned against the headboard, planning to read a bit, but all she could think about was what Mrs. James had
said today.
Her thoughts were jumbled, and she didn’t turn a single page for a good while. She eventually set the book aside,
laid down, and was about to drift off when she felt someone kissing her.
Emily immediately woke up, pushing Charlie away instinctively.
“What’s wrong?” Charlie’s voice in the dark was low and magnetic.
Emily whispered, “I’m not feeling well.”
Charlie didn’t move. He silently watched her before asking calmly. Physically or emotionally?”
Emily looked up at him.
Charlie reached out and held her chin, a faint smile on his lips, “Don’t you want me to touch you?”
Emily took a deep breath, “Charlie, if you have another woman, can we end this?”
Charlie’s eyes turned cold, “What do you mean? Are you trying to push me away or are you concerned about the
woman you saw in the hotel hallway?”
Emily fell silent.
Charlie’s grip on her chin tightened, “If you’re bothered about it, why didn’t you ask me? Do you know I’ve been
waiting for you to ask?”
Emily’s chin ached a bit, and she was also a bit angry, “Why should I ask you? It was clear what was happening,
what’s there to ask about?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharlie frowned, “Your boyfriend is with another woman in the middle of the night, and you don’t ask or care, and
you think you’re not in the wrong?”
Emily glared back defiantly.
Charlie suddenly remembered when they first met, she was the same way. It seemed she hadn’t changed at all, just
hid it well.
He sneered, “If there’s anything you want to say, say it now.”
Emily retorted, “Maybe that woman thinks you’re her boyfriend too!”
“I’m asking what you think!” Charlie looked at her seriously.
Emily said, “I think you should go find other women. Just don’t bother me!”
Charlie’s eyes turned icy, his previous charm and good temper completely gone. He radiated danger, “I’m giving
you a chance, say it again!”
Emboldened by the alcohol she had, Emily repeated, “You asked what I thought about this, right? This is what I
think. Go find other women!”
Charlie was livid. He grabbed her chin, bent down, and kissed her forcefully.
