Chapter 407
Charlie glanced back at Emily’s blushing face and laughed, “Don’t get me wrong. If I didn’t hold your
hand, that lady might have caught up with us and accused me of only caring about the ingredients. and
not the person!”
Emily couldn’t help but giggle, and her previous embarrassment dissipated quite a bit. She said with a
smile, “she is very enthusiastic, don’t take her words to heart.”
“It’s fine.” Charlie pushed the cart forward.
In order to prevent Emily from arguing with him during checkout, he had topped up 20,000 dollars in
membership the last time, so they could directly pay with the membership.
After checking out, he carried two large bags filled with stuff and walked out.
Emily quickly tried to take one of the bags from his hand, “Let me carry one.”

Emily couldn’t hold it in and laughed with her hand covering her mouth.
When they returned to the Royal Mansion, Emily went to her own room to change, then brought the
ingredients to the kitchen to cook, and also called Estelle to ask if she had dinner yet. If not, she invited
her to come downstairs.
Estelle was already at Xavier’s and told her she had eaten.
After hanging up, Charlie entered the kitchen, “Is there anything I can help with?”
“You don’t need to, just rest for a while, I can handle it myself!” Emily replied.
“Every time you do all the cooking, I feel guilty. Just tell me if there’s anything I can help with!” Charlie
said, taking the ingredients out of the bags, “should I wash these?”
“Yes,” Emily handed him a basket, “wash it and put it here.”
Charlie went over to the sink and started washing the vegetables.
He had taken off his suit and was wearing a white shirt, with his sleeves rolled up, looking elegant and
refined, completely mismatching his current vegetable–washing action.
Emily wanted to laugh and turned her head pretending to get something.
Charlie glanced at her, wondering why she always laughed so easily.
Did he seem funny to her?
He washed the vegetables as slowly as he would write a poem or draw a picture. He spent a good five
minutes on just two carrots, almost rubbing off their color completely.
Emily bit her lip and giggled silently, not minding his slow pace.
After washing the carrots, Charlie put them in the basket and asked softly, “Have you seen Estelle
recently?”
Emily turned to him, “Yeah, we had breakfast together this morning.”
“Do you know what she’s been busy with lately?” Charlie asked.

Emily replied, “One of Estelle’s brothers is sick and also lives in the Royal Mansion, so she sometimes
goes over to take care of him.”
Charlie frowned, “She said it was her brother?”
Emily innocently nodded, “Yes!”
Charlie didn’t continue asking.
When he finished washing the vegetables, Emily pushed him out of the kitchen, saying she didn’t want
him to get smell on himself.
By now, Charlie’s throat was hurting terribly, and his head felt even heavier. He went to the dining room
for a drink and saw a pretty little cat ceramic cup on the table. Without thinking, he picked it up and
started drinking from it.
“Charlie,” Emily came out wearing an apron, intending to ask if he had any dietary restrictions today,
only to see him drinking water from her cup. She froze, her ears heating up slightly.
