Chapter 1196 Leaving Is Also a Good Thing
Lance was one of Charles’ good friends and Charles thought he knew his friend well enough. To be able to make a slow poke act so quickly meant that he had a very important place in Lance’s heart.
Otherwise, he would not have put in so much effort to help a friend. Therefore, how could he not be excited and happy?
As for Sonia, she did not know Lance that well and was unsure of what kind of person he was. It was not until she heard what Charles said that she finally knew. As such, she was grateful that such a slow person would be able to finish the job so quickly.
“Maybe because you’re the one who found him. That’s why he’s so quick. Of course, it might be because he had been the leader for many years and changed his gentle attitude into a fiery one.” Sonia laughed while making a guess.
Touching his chin, Charles nodded. “What you said makes sense, but no matter what, it’s good that Lance finished the job swiftly.”
“Yes. That’s why I called you. I wanna ask you to bring him a thank-you gift,” Sonia said.
“Thank-you gift?”
“Yes.”
“For Lance?”
“Who else could it be?” She shrugged. “He gave me a hand in teaching Connor a lesson, so of course, I have to give him something to thank him. I can’t just sit here and do nothing, can I? Wouldn’t that be taking things for granted? I can’t do that, so I must prepare a gift. Besides, other than thanking him, I don’t want to owe him anything either.”
While knocking his fingers on the steering wheel, Charles agreed, “You’re right. You and Lance aren’t familiar with each other, so it’s best not to owe each other anything.”
“That’s why I came to you. I need to know what he likes. Then, I can prepare the gift and have you send it over. Also, you would get a thank-you gift too,” she added.
Surprise filled his face again. “What? Me too?”
“Of course! You’re the middleman who helped me get in contact with Lance. I can’t let you do all that work for nothing, right?”
“Hehe. Then, I’ll thank you in advance.” With excitement, he rubbed his hands together and continued, “Actually, you don’t have to give me anything and I’d still be willing to help you.”
“I know, but I can’t really do nothing, knowing that you did those things willingly, can I? If I did, what kind of person would I have become? Forget about that. Tell me what Lance likes. As for you, you don’t have to say it because I know.” While rubbing her sore shoulders, Sonia urged Charles to speak.
“Alright, so I won’t tell you what I like. You can just prepare anything you see fit. As for Lance, although he’s the leader of a gang, he can be a child at heart, probably because of his background. He grew up in an orphanage, and being able to have food to eat and clothes to wear were already considered a very happy thing for him, so he never had a toy. After he grew up, he liked to buy adult Lego toys, so you can prepare a limited edition Lego set for him. He will love it,” Charles confirmed.
Nodding slowly, she replied, “Sure. I’ll buy that for him. Thank you, Charles.”
“No worries.” He waved his hand. “Is there anything else?”
“Nope, but even if there is, I don’t think you’d want to hear it.” She then leaned against her chair and propped up her head while speaking.
That aroused Charles’ interest. “Really? What’s the thing you’re so certain I won’t like to hear?”
“Daphne is leaving abroad to further her career. Do you think you’d want to hear about matters involving her?” Sonia asked tentatively.
No matter what, Daphne is going to leave the country.
I hope that Charles can put down his hatred for her.
After all, it’s not just her fault that something like that occurred.
Charles also did something wrong.
So, he can’t put all the blame on her and ignore his wrongdoings.
That is something Daphne can’t do alone.
On the other side of the phone, Charles froze when he suddenly heard Sonia mention Daphne.
He had no idea that this was actually about that woman.
It is something I don’t want to hear!
