Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1571

Charlie responded, "My mom."

Emily's smile instantly froze on her face as she looked at Charlie in surprise. "Your mom met Kya?"

The car was dimly lit, and the bright neon lights outside were reflected in, flickering continuously. Charlie didn't notice the unusual expression on Emily's face and just nodded slightly. "Yeah, I told her Kya is my friend's kid."

Emily breathed a sigh of relief, but remembering what Mrs. James had said before, she felt the relaxed atmosphere was completely gone.

Kya was still talking about the fun things that happened today. Emily patiently listened and occasionally cracked a joke with her.

Charlie's gaze fell on Emily's side face through the rear-view mirror. He hadn't been to Bright Commercial Center these past few days. Partly because he was really busy and partly because he was feeling a bit off, and he needed to cool down.

Emily didn't seem to notice his mood swings and didn't get upset about his cold attitude, which left him unsure whether to be happy or not.

It seemed like he was the only one feeling the torment.

This feeling made him a bit restless and uneasy, as if things were getting out of his control.

He loosened his tie a bit and gripped the steering wheel tighter, his knuckles clear as they repeatedly clenched on the wheel.

By the time they returned to Bright Commercial Center, it was nearly ten o'clock.

Kya, having napped a lot in the afternoon, was full of energy and dragged Charlie to see her new toy.

"Kya, it's time for a bath and bed," Emily said. She knew Charlie had taken care of Kya all day and must be tired.

Charlie smiled, "I let her nap in the afternoon. I didn't have the heart to wake her up. You go take a shower, I'll stay with her."

Seeing the two of them having so much fun, Emily could only go get her clothes and take a shower.
