Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1719

Charlie's gaze softened involuntarily as he sat on the bed, brushing his hand through Kya’s silky hair. The tenderness in his eyes was almost palpable.

His gaze rested on Kya, unblinking. After a moment, he stood up, closing the storybook on the bedside table and dimming the bedside lamp. Then he left the room.

Ms. Simmons had been waiting in the living room. Seeing Charlie, she stood up, saying, "Mr. James, it's already late. Why don't you stay here?"

"No, thank you. Emily was drunk, so she might have a headache tomorrow. Could you prepare some apple vinegar for her in the morning?" Charlie asked.

Ms. Simmons chuckled, "I'll take good care of Emily, so don't worry."

Charlie pulled out his phone, saying, "Emily's new job is rather demanding. She might need to work overtime sometimes. Please take care of her and Kya. I'll transfer $10,000 to you as an compensation."

Ms. Simmons waved her hands. "Emily pays me well enough. You don't need to give me extra money."

"Please accept it. And don't tell her about it." Charlie requested, then left. After a few steps, he turned back, "And don't tell her about me bringing her home tonight, either."

"Okay."

As Ms. Simmons watched Charlie leave, she couldn't help but frown. It seemed like Emily and Charlie still had unresolved issues.

Charlie was such a good man, Ms. Simmons really hoped that the two could come together, and Emily wouldn't have to be so tired!

Charlie went downstairs, but didn't immediately start the car. Instead, he pulled out a cigarette, lighting it up.

It was late, and the neighborhood that buzzed with activity during the day had finally fallen silent.

Occasionally, a few birds would flutter from the trees, startled by something, and fly towards the distant lights.

After finishing his cigarette, Charlie dialed a number.

As the call was about to cut off from ringing, Jonathan's impatient voice came through, "What's so important that you had to call at this hour?"
