Vera couldn't help but ask him angrily, “Shouldn't you call me 'darling' as well?”
Charlie coughed twice and asked her, “There's no one else here. Do you really want me to call you that?”
Vera felt aggrieved and said, “We agreed on this earlier…”
Charlie immediately said seriously, “Alright, I'll keep my promise.”
After adjusting himself, he said, “Darling, we'll reach the airport in half an hour.”
Vera smiled sweetly and said, “Got it. Thank you, darling!”
Vera, who was satisfied, couldn't help but notice Charlie's left hand on the steering wheel, and she curiously asked, “Darling, didn't you wear the ring I gave you when you came out?”
Charlie casually replied, “Why would I wear it? The ring recognizes your father as its owner, not me. If we encounter danger together, it will still teleport me to you. If we really meet Fleur, wouldn't that be like a bug getting stuck, unable to escape her grasp? It would be like giving her the ring for nothing. So, it's better not to wear it.”
He continued, “Fleur dreams of having your ring. If we don't carry it with us, even if she catches us, we'll have some leverage to negotiate with her.”
Vera nodded and said, “Darling, you're meticulous in considering everything. I didn't think of that…”
