Chapter 1785
“Congrats, Charlie! Now you’ve got a wife and child, you’re the winner in life!”
“I still don’t understand. Can someone explain to me how Emily’s daughter suddenly became Charlie’s?”
“Emily, you really need to clarify this for us. When did you sleep with Charlie? Even Charlie himself doesn’t know!”
“This news is explosive, I’m going to make Charlie trend and promote it!”
Charlie laughed, “Can you guys chill out? If you have any questions, ask me, not Emily!”
Emily, feeling embarrassed by the crowd’s teasing, dragged Estelle to the balcony for a chat.
Carson smirked, “Charlie, who was the one who told me to stay away from Emily? You’re not being fair in this
matter, man. Spill it, what did you do to Emily?”
Charlie talked to everyone for a while, his grin growing wider. He then sat next to Jonathan, introducing, “Jonathan,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlet me introduce you. This is my daughter, Kya.”
Jonathan glanced at him indifferently, “Can you be a bit more discreet?”
Charlie, hugging Kya close, responded, “Why should I be discreet with such a lovely daughter?”
Jonathan turned his head away, ignoring him.
Charlie held Kya up for Jonathan to see, “Doesn’t she look just like me? My mom even dug out my childhood photos,
and we’re identical!”
Jonathan smirked, “As for your daughter looks like who, when Manley first showed up with her, I thought she looked
like Manley!”
Charlie’s smile froze, and he scoffed, “Right, when Estelle brought Kya to Carson’s engagement party, I thought she
was Estelle and Manley’s child!”
Jonathan’s expression darkened.
Carson, watching their verbal duel, laughed uncontrollably, “You two are entertaining! Can you stop hurting each
other?”
Jonathan happened to have some candy in his pocket that he had prepared for Estelle. He took it out and handed it
to Kya, “Fine, for Kya’s sake, I’ll let it slide!”
Charlie grinned, “For Kya’s sake, I won’t argue with you. After all, you are her godfather!”
Jonathan, hearing him constantly mentioning his daughter, and seeing his smug face, suddenly regretted giving the
paternity test results to Noreen so easily.
He should have let Emily continue torturing him!
Carson, with a graceful smile, stated, “I remember saying that Kya looked like you back then. See, I was right!”
Charlie laughed heartily, “She’s so lovely, she can only be my biological daughter! Even her habit of kicking off the
blanket at night is just like me, and she doesn’t like eating leafy greens, just like me. I thought it was a coincidence,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut now I realize, it’s the power of genetics”
He then took Kya’s little hand and showed it to Jonathan, “Remember when I sprained my wrist playing ball in
college? Look at Kya’s wrist, there’s a slight scar-like!”
Jonathan chuckled, “Have you been playing ‘Spot the difference’ with Kya these past few days?”
Charlie boasted, “Actually, it’s not a great feeling. I can’t eat or sleep well: just want to keep staring at her.”
Jonathan didn’t want to stay any longer.
Estelle and Emily sat on the balcony, enjoying the evening breeze and chatting.
The subtle fragrance of cocktails wafted through the air, and the laughter from the crowd around Charlie and Kya
added a touch of warmth to the autumn night.
Emily leaned on the railing, her eyes soft, “After all the twists and turns, I ended up with Charlie.”
Estelle, lazily reclining in a wicker chair, smiled, “It’s good that you’ve figured it out!”
Emily took a sip of her drink, gazing at the night sky, whispering, ‘Perhaps it’s because my father was a gambler, I
prefer a stable life. I don’t like risks or uncertainties, so I’ve always been hesitant in my relationship with Charlie.
But after knowing what he has done for me, I felt that if I didn’t take a chance, I would truly be unfair to this
relationship.”
