Chapter 1771
Jonathan spilled the beans to Charlie about Gina’s actions of taking Kya away.
Charlie was taken aback, a glint of cold fury flickering in his eyes. He nodded
briefly, “I need to calm Emily down first. We’ll deal with the rest later”
They talked late into the night. As Jonathan was heading to the Bright
Commercial Center, Charlie felt a pang of jealousy.
Once returning home, Charlie was tempted to check on Kya. But realizing
everyone might be asleep, he held back. He retired to his own bedroom, sleep
eluding him. He sat on the balcony, smoking, contemplating whether to call
Emily. He didn’t want to disturb her if she was already asleep.
Enter title…
She had a fright today, and with Kya’s identity being exposed, her emotions
must have been on a roller coaster.
It was best to let her have a good night’s sleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlie found himself reminiscing about the first time he met Emily. The ups and
downs of their relationship felt like a lifetime ago yet so fresh and vivid.
Jonathan was right. Perhaps this was the best arrangement.
At least now, he understood Emily, and his own unwavering commitment to their
relationship.
He chain-smoked, his thoughts consumed by Emily. Unconsciously, time slipped
away, and the sky began to lighten. The lights in the courtyard dimmed, and the
first hint of dawn peeked in. The world, silent through the night, was about to
spring back to life.
Emily, too, had a sleepless night, tossing and turning. She was too scared to
consider her future with Charlie.
Her biggest worry was Kya. As dawn approached, she dozed off, only to be
startled awake by a dream of Kya calling for her mother.
She woke up to find a message from Charlie. She held the phone tight, reading
his message on WhatsApp.
Charlie had sent a picture of Kya, sleeping peacefully with her cherub-like face
nestled on a silk children’s pillow.
[Missing Kya?] he had written.
Emily’s vision blurred. She blinked hard and replied, [I’ll do anything you ask,
just return Kya to me.]
Charlie wrote back, [Anything? Then let’s get married today.]
Emily felt a sense of defeat. [Anything but that,] she replied.
[That’s the only thing I ask. Think about it.] Charlie wrote back.
Frustrated, Emily flung her phone onto her bed in anger.
It was Thursday, and she had work. After washing up and stepping outside, she
found Estelle bringing in breakfast.
Estelle, dressed in her workout gear, had just returned from a run with
Jonathan. Seeing Emily’s groggy state, she chuckled, “Don’t look so down.
Have breakfast first.”
Emily sat down. Without Kya, she felt empty and restless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t worry about Kya. Charlie loves her and will take good care of her,’ Estelle
reassured her.
“I just miss Kya,” Emily replied.
“If Charlie doesn’t bring Kya back by tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to the James
family” Estelle said, handing Emily a bowl of porridge. “Right now, you need to
pull yourself together. Only then can you think clearly about what needs to be
done.”
“Okay,” Emily replied.
Throughout the workday, Emily tried to immerse herself in her tasks. Regardless
of the circumstances, she was determined not to give up on Kya.
In the afternoon, during a brief respite, Emily messaged Charlie, [Please return
Kya first, then we can talk.]
Charlie replied almost instantly. [Okay. Meet me at the Royal Mansion after
work.]
The Royal Mansion?
Emily was taken aback. She replied, [Alright.]
