Chapter 1600
Jonathan said, “I initially wanted to help her settle things with her father, but then I thought it might be better if you
do it. I figured Emily’s father would eventually
turn to you.”
Charlie replied, “But even if the problem is solved, she might not change her mind. She’s stubborn enough to make
anyone want to scold her.”
Jonathan poured himself half a glass of whiskey and said in a calm voice, “Emily thinks too much. Just give her some
time.”
Charlie looked at him with a deep gaze, “The issues in her family aren’t really a big deal. It’s just that she never
trusted me from the start.”
Jonathan slowly swirled the whiskey in his glass, “She worries too much probably because she cares. She is afraid of

Charlie smirked, “She doesn’t know that those words she said are what truly hurt me
Jonathan said, “Emily’s upbringing has shaped the way she thinks and makes decisions. If you love her, you need to
accept everything about her
Charlie’s eyes deepened, revealing a hint of helplessness.
Jonathan clinked his glass with his, smiled faintly and said, “Emily’s distrust towards you has its reasons. You reaped
what you sowed.”
He looked at Kya in Charlie’s arms and smiled meaningfully, “Think of it as going through trials. As long as Kya likes
you, you and Emily will eventually be together” Charlie frowned, his tone low, “But I feel uneasy. I have a bad
feeling.”
Jonathan thought for a moment and asked, “If Emily marry you, would your mother accept her?”
Charlie looked up. “My mom might be a bit more controlling than yours. But as long as I insist, she won’t be too
domineering.”
“What’s there to worry about then?” Jonathan took a sip of his whiskey and smiled, “You just need to break through
Emily’s wall.”
Charlie raised an eyebrow, feeling that breaking through Emily’s wall would be the most challenging part.
When Magdalen was chatting gwith Estelle, she received a call from Kevin.
Kevin’s voice was clear, “Magdalen, where are you? Let’s watch Ryan’s game tonight. I’ve prepared your favorite
crawfish and fresh beer.” Magdalen said, “I don’t have time tonight. I’m with Ella and the others.
“Where are you?”
“9th Mansion!”
“Then I’ll come to you. There’s still three hours before the game. If you drink, I’ll drive you home.”
Magdalen readily agreed, “Okay, come over!”
Estelle watched as Magdalen hung up and asked, “Who was that?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Kevin. He’s coming over to hang out with us. He invited me to his place to watch the game tonight,” Magdalen
chuckled.
Estelle gave her a light look, “You’re not going. And you’re not drinking tonight. I’ll take you home later”
“Why?” Magdalen slung an arm around Estelle’s shoulder, laughing nonchalantly, “I know my limits. Kevin and I just
share common interests. I don’t have any
intentions towards a kid!”
Estelle shot her a glance, “You may not have intentions, but what about him?”
“Him?” Magdalen laughed, “Even less likely. I’m four years older than him!”
Estelle didn’t argue with her further. Anyway, she was determined to take her back to Morrison’s place tonight.
About half an hour later, Magdalen answered a call and walked out.
Kevin was waiting for her outside. Seeing her come out, he flashed a charming smile, I don’t know any of your
friends, so I won’t go in. Let’s go to my place and wait for the game
“They’re all my friends Even Ella is there. Let’s go in and say hi Magdalen pulled him towards the private room,
“Why are you being shy all of a sudden?”
Tm not being shy There’s nothing to talk about with friends I don’t know I just want to watch the game with you,”
Kevin laughed cheerfully
