Chapter 1374

Charlie was all eyes for Emily, leaning in to kiss her cheek and whispering something in her ear.

In an instant, Emily felt a rush of heat on her face and pushed him away, “Back off"

Charlie chuckled, a mischievous glint on his handsome face. "Don't be shy, you'll get used to it."

Emily bit her lip, "Charlie James"

"Call me Charlie!" He cut her off immediately.

"No!" Emily was both humiliated and annoyed.

"Just Charlie!" He insisted.

Emily observed him in silence, "Charlie, what are we to each other?"

"Dating!" He answered without hesitation.

"And what kind of dating?" she inquired further.

He chuckled, "The legitimate kind, of course"

"For three months?" Emily asked.

He paused for momentarily, "Do you want it to end in three months?"

Emily was silent.

"Let's give it a shot!" Charlie said gently.

Three months were enough for him to figure out Emily's place in his heart and for her to see if she

could fall for him.

Emily's eyes were clear. After a moment, she responded, "I agree, but I don't want to go public in these

three months."

It was her means of escape.

Charlie's eyes dimmed slightly, but his face remained expressionless, "Sure!"

"You go out first, I need to change." Emily said.

“Afraid I'll peek?" Charlie chuckled softly and did not push her, he bowed and kissed her forehead, his

voice still doting, "I'll go check on Kya, rest if you're not feeling well."

“Okay. Emily responded while looking down.

As Charlie left, Emily watched his retreating figure, her heart in turmoil.

She rolled onto her side, clutching the blanket tightly as she felt disoriented.

She anticipated that Charlie would become cold towards her after last night, but things were turning out

quite differently.

Was she really dating Charlie?

She once despised Noreen, but in the end, she seemed to have fallen into the same trap, didn't she?

Charlie was the most skilled hunter, and Emily was but an innocent rabbit, there was no way she could

escape!

In the afternoon, Magdalen came over with a bunch of stuff, and seeing Charlie open the door, she

laughed, "Did I come to the wrong house?"

Estelle came out from behind, greeting with a smile, "Charlie!"

Charlie beamed, "Ms. Sampson, Estelle, good afternoon. Where's Jonathan?"

"He had some work at the company!" Estelle headed towards the living room.

Magdalen followed, handing over the stuff she bought for Kya and Emily to Charlie and raised an

eyebrow, "Did you really score the sweetest catch?"

Charlie laughed, "You guys have taken care of Emily for so long, it's my turn to look after her."

Magdalen nodded in acknowledgement of Emily's hardships and said, "You better not hurt her, or Ella

and I won't let you off so easily!"

“I'm glad that Emily has friends like you by her side.” Charlie said with a smile.

Magdalena raised an eyebrow, not giving a clear response. She entered the living room carrying the

cake she had purchased for Kya.

"Kya, come out! The beautiful Magdalen is here!" she yelled in a loud and upbeat voice.
