Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1140

"Yes," Charlie simply answered.

Elsa wasn't paying attention to what Rita was saying. She was in her own world, trying hard to figure something out. 'Evelyn Long... Charlie Long... The names ring a bell...'

"Charlie! Charlie!" Someone joyfully called, pulling Elsa out of her reverie. It was Evelyn. While her personality was totally domineering at school, she was acting totally right now. Because it was a very formal occasion, she was dressed up nicely and elegantly, which would lead one to think that she would be acting gentler that night. However, they were immediately proven wrong when she dashed towards Charlie like it wasn't anyone's business. Right. So although she was all dressed up as nicely as one could be dressed, she still ran to Charlie like a kid running for the ice cream truck.

"Hmm?" Evelyn didn't expect to see Elsa here. "Hi, my in-law to be!" The moment she blurted those words out, Rita and Ann were like struck by a thunder. Of course, being a carefree girl, Evelyn didn't notice the sudden change of facial expression on their faces. After greeting Elsa, she turned to Charlie. "Brother Addison will be here tonight as well. He gave me a call just now and said that we could go back together after this."

"Okay," Charlie replied. Then he turned to look at Elsa again, whose lips were visibly twitching.

Elsa stared at Charlie and Evelyn. In her heart, she was feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what exactly that was. Lowering her head, she thought to herself, 'What's wrong?'

"Elsa." Ann suddenly pulled on Elsa's arms very hard. Quickly, Elsa turned to her and the girl was signaling for her to look at Charlie's direction. Earnestly whispering, Ann asked, "Evelyn is Charlie's sister? Do I... Do I understand this correctly?" Even though her volume was low, Rita heard everything clearly.

Was this a joke?

Evelyn was Charlie's sister? They looked completely different! One was bright and smart while the other seemed so mediocre and downright silly. Evelyn didn't do well in academics, which caused her to enter the faculty of music. Even so, she still couldn't do well in her courses. How could such a person be Charlie's sister? How could the same pair of parents give birth to two vastly different creatures? Rita's brain was about to blow.

At that moment, an old servant came to them and said to Rita, "Miss Rita, your father is looking for you. The Shen family is here. He wants you there."

Rita glimpsed at Elsa then Charlie before she left. The absence of the common enemy made the air very awkward.

"Well..." Elsa felt uneasy under Charlie's burning gaze. She pulled Ann and excused herself, "Charlie, please excuse us."

Then she fled with Ann. A moment later, she disappeared. Charlie's lips curled into a joyful grin. The most important thing in the ceremony for Evelyn was undoubtedly the food. She had been longing to taste the food prepared by the famous French chef, so she had come here quite early with Charlie. Charlie didn't expect Elsa to be here. When he took a look at the guest list, he found out that Elsa's father was one of the outstanding staff working in the subsidiary company of Gu's Corporations in M City. During the ceremony, all the outstanding staff would receive awards and acknowledgement.

After he and Evelyn arrived at the venue, the two of them went straight to the food serving section in the hall, due to Evelyn's insistence. But unexpectedly, he saw Rita purposefully embarrassing Elsa. However, the Little Bun... She seemed to have no idea how to handle the situation! That was why Charlie decided to join the conversation. He just wanted to help Elsa.
