Chapter 1349
Charlie sprawled out on the couch, all cool and chill, grinning, Tim here for the wedding, not some corporate
meeting Why’d you invite him?”
The department manager was sweating buckets, scrambling with an explanation: “Mr. Sample was supposed to
come too.”
Charlie just nodded, about to text Emily on his phone, when suddenly the sound of children playing outside caught
his attention.
Outside the banquet hall, there was a small lawn full of balloons for the newlyweds photo shoot. Right now, it was
overrun with kids of the wedding guests having a ball.

Beside a big heart-shaped balloon arch, Emily was kneeling on the ground, facing Kya in a white princess dress,
who handed her an uninflated balloon. Emily took the balloon, put it on her lips, and started puffing her cheeks to
blow it up.
The sun shone on Emily’s soft hair and warm face, reflecting a soft glow
Kya clapped for Emily, who was puffing her cheeks to inflate the balloon. When the balloon was about the size of
her face, she tried to remove it from her mouth but didn’t hold it well, and the balloon popped out and flew away.
Emily and Kya both reached out to catch the balloon, tumbling over each other and laughing heartily
Seeing this scene, Charlie’s face softened, a smile creeping onto his lips.
The department manager looked at Charlie’s smile and was a bit shocked. He followed Charlie’s gaze to see the
kids playing on the lawn, but he didn’t know who made this usually stern CEO smile.
Charlie got up and walked towards the French windows, Emily’s laughter becoming more distinct in his sight.
He stared deeply at Emily, remembering how she used to always have a smile on her face, even when life was
tough.
He couldn’t remember when she stopped smiling at him.
Even if she occasionally sneaked a smile, she would quickly suppress it once he noticed.
Did he hurt her that much?
But he didn’t want to let her go.
Charlie chuckled helplessly, turning around to find Kya.
He pictured Emily’s surprise and restraint upon seeing him.

He felt an urge to laugh, wondering if he was a bit twisted for wanting to ruin Emily’s relaxed expression.
There was a long hallway between the VIP room and the banquet hall, leading to the outdoor lawn.
As Charlie walked out, he overheard some women chatting in a nearby preparation room.
“Linda, what’s going on with Emily’s kid?”
A lady in a red dress holding a flower replied with a hint of annoyance, “Who knows? She said she went out to study
and came back with a kid. It’s a good thing Shawn wasn’t home; otherwise, he’d blow a fuse! Gina never had a
backbone; she can’t even control her own daughter.”
If Gina can’t handle it, shouldn’t you step in?”
“How would I? Emily never listens to me. Today is Elliott’s wedding. Emily doesn’t feel embarrassed, nor does she
worry about humiliating Elliott. She even brought that child along. I’m utterly mortified”
“Emily doesn’t seem like the type to not take care of herself!”
“Emily might seem nice, but that doesn’t mean she truly is. Look at my Kenny, though she’s a bit of a daredevil,
would she ever dare to do something unconventional?”
