Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1373

Chapter 1373

Charlie did not plan ahead or consider the consequences, which was a far cry from his usual approach to things.

Just after he ended the call with Jonathan, he decided impulsively to just roll with the punches. If Emily got pregnant that night, well, it was meant to be.

It made sense that he would feel the same way about a child he would have with Emily since he had a soft spot for Kya.

The thought of possibly becoming a dad before Jonathan was kind of exciting.

A smirk tugged at Charlie's lips, his eyes shining bright amidst the smoky haze - a sign of his inner satisfaction!

When Emily woke up, the sun was already up, and she could hear Charlie and Kya laughing outside. She quickly opened her eyes.

Her waist and back were sore, a clear reminder of the previous night's activities.

Emily took a deep breath, annoyed at her impulsive decision.

How could she have given in? She was totally charmed by Charlie!

Hearing footsteps approaching, Emily quickly pulled the covers over herself, pretending to still be asleep.

She did not think much, it was just an instinctive reaction, possibly because she did not know how to face Charlie.

The door opened, and Charlie walked over to her, looking down at her with a soft, low voice, "Still asleep?"

Emily knew she could not pretend anymore. Her eyelashes started to flutter uncontrollably.

She slowly opened her eyes, her brows furrowed, "Why are you still here?"

"Where would I go?"

What Emily meant was that he got what he wanted. Shouldn't he be leaving then?

"Charlie," Emily clutched the covers tightly, looking at him helplessly, "Are we even now?"

"Just treat it as a romance, no one knows how a love story will end, right? But it's always exciting and full of anticipation.” Charlie said softly, then kissed her.

Emily retorted, "Everyone who's been with you knows exactly how it will end."

Charlie stopped and frowned. Then he said "Emily, you really don't know when to hold your tongue!"

"Someone has to stay sober. Emily said with a smile.

Charlie scoffed, "You think you're sober? You're like a cup filled to the brim with water, the slightest movement and you think you're bathed in holy water, that everyone's drunk and you're the only one awake."

Emily glared at him and thought, “Bathed? How much water would that take?"

"Do you need my help?” Charlie suddenly smiled suggestively.

"And how can you help?" Emily spoke abruptly.
