Chapter 1777
Was this Charlie’s company?
Shawn’s voice steadily choked up, “When the fire started, I rushed in, ready to die. I thought if I could die and save
your company a bit of loss, it would be my redemption. I didn’t want Emily to hate me more. When they rushed in
to put out the fire, I told the firefighters to let me die, but they didn’t listen, they saved me. Emily despises me, I
don’t want to be her burden, I don’t want treatment”
Charlie’s voice was low, “You’ll live here for the rest of your life, that should be enough for redemption.”
Shawn said, “I know, because your company arranged this great nursing home for me, because you and the
company didn’t let Emily pay compensation, I understand all that. But the more I think about it, the more uneasy I
feel”
He wiped his eyes, “You’ve done enough for our family. I also know that the $10,000 I cheated you out of, you later

easier. I later asked Emily’s mother and she told me everything. What kind of father am I? I’m just a debt-ridden
ghost who burdens my children.”
Shawn continued to talk, weeping uncontrollably.
Emily leaned against the wall, her eyes wide with shock at Shawn’s words. Emotions surged in her heart, making it
hard for her to breathe.
The $10,000, the money her mother said was for the old house, was actually given by Charlie.
Charlie interrupted, “Emily loves you, even if she doesn’t say it. But you’ve disappointed her too much. If you want
to make up for it, don’t give up on treatment. Get better and give her a loving father.”
Shawn was full of shame, choking back sobs, “Do I still have a chance?”
“Of course, Emily is your daughter. You should know her best.” Charlie said. “She is a very loyal person. She never
gave up on you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have signed that agreement with the family.”
Shawn was filled with sadness and a bit of anger at the mention of the maintenance agreement, “Her mother went
too far. She can hate me for wronging her, but she shouldn’t treat Emily like this.”
Charlie’s voice was filled with concern, “Emily has already lost her mother and brother, so she can’t lose you.”
Shawn hushed.
Charlie continued, “I love Emily, so everything I do for her is from the heart. In fact, I came here today to tell you
that I’m going to marry Emily. I’ll take good care of her and Kya, so you can rest easy.”
Shawn was surprised, “You’re really going to marry Emily?”
“Yes,’ Charlie’s voice was firm, “I will definitely marry her”
Shawn nodded, “Thank you for taking care of Emily for me. I’m a useless father. I didn’t take care of her. In my
next life, I’ll be your servant to repay you.”
“You’re being too serious.” Charlie smiled lightly, his voice steady and determined, “You protected her childhood.
Now it’s my turn to protect her future.”

In the living room, Shawn’s emotions seemed to have stabilized a bit. Charlie’s words brought him great comfort.
Emily didn’t continue to listen, she opened the door and walked out.
She walked all the way to the small garden outside, sat down on a bench, and couldn’t help but burst into tears.
The Royal Mansion castle moved her, but the things she heard today shocked her even more. It turned out that he
had done so much for her in places she didn’t know.
He never mentioned it, never brought it up.
He had been building a fortress for her, but she had been hesitating outside, not willing to believe that he would
stay for her.
Emily let the tears wash over her face. She looked up at the blue sky, her heart aching, yet unable to suppress the
happiness.
All the hardships, heartbreaks, and disappointments she had experienced, in this moment, all became insignificant,
trivial.
