Chapter 1371
Charlie cut to the chase with Emily, asking directly, "It's been quite some time, have you given thought to my proposal?"
Emily bit her lip, "I can help you heal your hidden wounds, to make up for my debt to you, what do you think?"
"Emily, you are my hidden wound!" Charlie lifted his hand to hold her face.
Emily's heart was beating faster, feeling like she couldn't escape anymore.
Charlie leaned forward, wiping away the wine stain on her lips with his finger, and then he asked softly, "Emily, you always make sure to
pay back what you owe, and you forgive others for their wrongdoings, then why are you so cold and heartless to me?"
"l'll always remember!" Emily shook her head.
"Then pay me back; I only need you to stay with me for three months.
After three months, I'll let you go, whether you want to stay in J City or go to Oakdale City.’
Emily's throat tightened, her voice a bit bitter, "Really, just three months!"
"Yes, just three months!" Charlie moved closer, taking the wine glass from her hand and putting it aside, and then he kissed her gently on the corner of her lip.
Tonight's moonlight was particularly bright, which cast a glow on them through the window. Charlie's handsome face under the moonlight seemed even more charming, making Emily's heartbeat quicken.
Emily knew that there was no escape from him. From the moment Charlie re-entered her life, her destiny was sealed.
She suddenly remembered her conversation with Estelle today.
Charlie was not the type to take no for an answer, because he had never been rejected before.
But once he got her, her love would cease to exist, and her life would lose all its color.
Would she have to sacrifice her love to finally be free of him?
Or maybe her love was worthless to begin with.
"Lowe you a night, so I'll give you a night!" Emily's eyelashes trembled, "I'll pay you back the rest in another way.’
"Emily, are you really going to turn the last bit of our feelings into a transaction?" Charlie squinted at her.
"Charlie!" Emily couldn't help but call out his name.
"Say my name!" Charlie whispered in her ear.
"Charlie."
"Good, say it again.’
"Charlie!"
"Emily, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
It was unknown when Charlie's wait began, and it gradually became a habit for him because he only waited for Emily as he became obsessed with her. No other woman could catch his attention.
Had he finally gotten what he had been waiting for?
"Be a good girl, become my woman, let me cherish you forever!"
Charlie's sigh, soft and tender, escaped his lips, leaving a passionate mark on Emily's heart.

As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
