My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 I'm the Father

He tilted his head. "What's up?"

Max walked over, chortling. "Who are you calling? Running out like that?"

Charlie didn't answer. He looked him in the eyes with a deep abyssal gaze without speaking.

Max wasn't afraid of anything, much less Charlie's looks.

He leant over and snickered, "I just heard a couple of phrases. Something about a woman. Tsk tsk tsk, don't think I can't tell, bro. You knew that Miss Kawn from before didn't you? What? Old flame?"

Charlie's gaze cooled by a few more degrees.

Max shook his head and tutted.

"Fine, don't tell me. But as your bro, I need to remind you that that Miss Kawn seemed to have recently given birth. Looks like she's taken. Careful she doesn't play you for a fool."

Charlie smirked.

A bit of mockery seemed to enter his eyes.

"I know."

"What?"

"I said I know."

Max widened his eyes at him like he'd just seen a ghost.

"You know and you still like her?"

Charlie suddenly frowned.

"Who says I like her?"

Max leered.

"Come on! Don't think I couldn't tell. Your eyes were on her all the time when you were eating and you didn't look away once. You think all of us onlookers are blind?"

"..."

Charlie stayed silent and didn't speak.

As Max was about to try to nudge him again, he suddenly opened his mouth. "Yeah, I was looking at her, but not because I like her."

Max blinked. "Then why?"

"Because I'm the father."

"..."

Charlie might as well have brought the house down on top of Max with that simple sentence.

After a while, he snapped back to reality and seemed to understand something.

He raised his head and looked at disbelief towards the man opposite him. Charlie remained perfectly calm, as if he hadn't said those words himself.

Even scarier, his gaze towards Max showed a bit of threat.

Max hurriedly shut up and took an expression that said "I don't know nothing and I ain't seen nothing, back up".

He paused, then said, "Well... Natalia and gang are having a lobby fight, are you coming?"

Charlie didn't play games and didn't know what he was talking about, asking, "What lobby fight?"

"Oh, it's a game that's really popular right now. If you're coming, we'll save you a spot."

Charlie thought about it and didn't refuse this time.

"Fine. I'll come."

So the two walked back in.

Charlie had the game downloaded soon enough. To match up their numbers, Wanda and Archie had been dragged in too. With the numbers set, they started matching teams.

Because Charlie and Wanda hadn't played before, they were split up to be fair.
