After Elsa went upstairs, Charlie took his mobile phone out and made a phone call to Evelyn. He told Evelyn that from now on, he would go and live in the villa. He asked her if she wanted to stay at school or live with them in the villa. After thinking things over, Evelyn replied that it would be too troublesome to go back, as she didn't want to disturb his non-marital cohabitation with Elsa. What Evelyn said on the phone made Charlie speechless.
Like Charlie, Elsa was also put in an embarrassing situation. After she went back to her dormitory, she firstly asked Olivia if she was fine. As she put something away and told them that she would go out with Charlie, her roommates wished her good luck one after another. Then, to her surprise, she was elbowed out of the dormitory. 'You were even teasing me together! Huh!' Elsa thought.
In reality, Charlie and Elsa's "cohabiting" life started because of what had unexpectedly happened between them and Quintin. Thinking about what had happened to him the other night, Charlie thought he had been blessed that he was still alive by now. But before he enjoyed this blessing, the joy and excitement deep in his heart were suddenly suppressed by Addison.
Charlie and Elsa entered the villa hand by hand. As they arrived, they saw that Addison was sitting there, reading a newspaper. Upon seeing him, Charlie instinctively retreated, but it was too late, as Addison had detected him.
"Stop him," Addison ordered the servant in a composed voice.
At the same time, Addison had stood upright at the gate. It seemed that he would kick Charlie back into the house if Charlie tried escaping away.
Meanwhile, one thing that Charlie knew for sure was that all men in this Long Family only followed his elder brother's orders. Except for him, all the others meant nothing for the men. Thus, these men wouldn't go easy on him even if he was Addison's younger brother.
Standing sternly, Addison slowly put his newspaper down on a desk beside him. At this moment, Charlie only wore his baseball hat but didn't wear the surgical mask, as he hadn't expected that his brother would be here. As Addison saw the bruises on Charlie's face, he asked with an indifferent voice, "Why are there bruises on your face? What happened?"
"He carelessly fell into a ditch," defending him, Elsa unknowingly blurted out.
Hearing that, Addison, who slightly furrowed, stared at Charlie and asked tentatively, "Is that true as Elsa said?"
Looking at him straight in the eyes, Charlie pursed his lips, took Elsa by hand and sat down on a sofa with her. Then, he asked, "Brother, when did you come here?"
"Just this morning." As soon as Addison gave Charlie a short reply, he asked again, "What about your wounds?"
With his lips curled, Charlie shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I fought with Quintin twice." Charlie knew that it was unnecessary for him to lie to his brother because he was sure that it was very easy for his brother to know everything that had happened to him. Furthermore, he guessed that his brother might have known the truth already.
As Charlie had estimated, Addison had investigated and known the truth. He had even met Quintin. Being his brother, he knew that Charlie had many friends, but only one opponent who deserved mentioning. That was Quintin. Usually, these two men were able to do everything they wanted in their respective fields, but when their paths crossed, they were rather childish like reckless guys. Whenever they met, they always fought without saying anything.
