Chapter 523
Charlie probably had just woken up, so he sounded pretty clingy.
Theresa was baffled and felt her eyes watery.
She was actually not quite sure herself. Was this what a couple about to get divorced should look like? Theresa looked down at his hands around her waist. Charlie had very nice hands with well-defined slender
fingers and perfectly trimmed nails, which were her favorite type.
She lowered her head. Since she had promised him yesterday, she had no choice and said, “I’m going to wash up now.”
She got out of his arms, stood up, and went into the bathroom.
Charlie watched her back and sighed helplessly.
He was quite sad, thinking that he had only a short time left with her.
The two of them finished washing up and went downstairs for breakfast. The two kids were still sleeping, so it was exceptionally quiet at the breakfast table.
Theresa was eating when Charlie handed her an egg, which was partly shelled so that she could hold it easily. Theresa couldn’t refuse his kindness and took it. “Thank you.
”
Charlie gave her a look and said, “I used to think it wasn’t a good idea to have breakfast with others. I thought it was a waste of time. But for some reason, I feel happy when I have it with you.”
Charlie’s words left Theresa staring at him dumbfounded. She had wanted to take the egg yolk out and put it down, but when she heard his words, she was so shocked that she swallowed the whole egg yolk and choked. Charlie sat beside her, patted her on the back, and handed her water. “Be careful.”
Theresa coughed for a while and finally got better. Despite her embarrassment, she turned to Charlie and said, “That’s enough. Stop talking.”

She wondered what he was up to.
Was he trying to pursue a girl, so now he was practicing in advance?
Or did he think that he was free to flirt with her because they were getting divorced anyway?
He was not like this before!
He used to be sharp-tongued as hell.
She didn’t know what to do when he was like this now.
Charlie had to shut up when she wouldn’t let him talk.
