Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1766

Chapter 1766

Charlie floored the gas, and by the time he arrived at Bright Commercial Center, it was already dusk.

He walked in to find the living room empty, the bedroom door locked tight.

“Emily; Charlie knocked, "Open up."

There was no answer.

"Emily, you always hide when there's trouble. When will you ever change?" Charlie leaned against the wall, rubbing his forehead, "Open the door, let's talk this out."

"Emily, I wasn't clear-minded that night, I didn't remember it was you, but you were the one who drugged me, you can't blame me."

“Emily, are you really planning to deny me my rights as Kya's father?"

Suddenly, the front door swung open, and Estelle walked in, furrowing her brows, "Charlie?"

Charlie walked over, "Estelle."

“What are you doing here?" Estelle asked.

"I found out Kya is my daughter.” Charlie's voice was joyful yet tinged with frustration, "Emily's hiding from me.

She won't open the door no matter what I say."

A look of surprise flashed across Estelle's face, "How did you find out?"

Charlie briefly recounted how Noreen tried to scam him out of money by using Kya.

Estelle hadn't expected Noreen to return. It seemed fate had a hand in this.

Otherwise, how could he have ignored her that day.

Because he didn't stop for her that day, didn't give her a chance to speak, he missed out on three whole years with Emily and Kya.

He felt as if he had been struck by a sucker punch, a pain that was hard to shake off.

How could this happen?

“Charlie, Estelle began slowly, “What's done is done. Don't blame yourself. You were innocent at the time too.

Emily doesn't hold it against you, she always felt she owed you. Emily really had a tough time these past few years. Don't blame her for not accepting you. She fears that your feelings for her aren't strong, that her family would be a burden to you. She's afraid that if you're only acting on impulse, once you leave, she won't even have Kya anymore."

Charlie felt a heavy burden on his heart, his voice hoarse, “I understand, I know what kind of impression I made on her from the start. I understand her worries.”
