Chapter 1768
Estelle walked Charlie to the door, and as they reached the exit, she spoke up
in a soft voice, “Charlie, it was me who asked Jonathan not to tell you about
Kya’s background. Don’t blame him.”
Charlie, remembering Jonathan’s teasing remarks, couldn’t help but snort lightly.
“I don’t blame him. I just feel like punching him.”
Estelle’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Just kidding.” Charlie laughed warmly. “For your sake, I forgive him.”
Estelle pursed her lips, “Thank you, Charlie.”

“Do me a favor and talk to Emily, will you?” Charlie asked earnestly.
“I will?
Charlie gave a slight nod and turned to leave.
Once Charlie had left, Estelle went to knock on the bedroom door, “Emily, it’s
me, Estelle.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon, Emily opened the door. The room was dim, and Emily looked a little lost.
“Estelle, I don’t know how to face him.”
Estelle said, “You love Charlie, and he likes you. This sudden revelation might
not be a bad thing”
Emily looked down, “So much has happened today. My head is a mess. I can’t
think straight.”
She looked up at Estelle, her eyes filled with unease. “Will Charlie take Kya
away from me?”
Estelle took her by the wrist and led her to the living room. “Listen to me,’ she
said softly. “Charlie already knows about Kya. He likes her so much and he
won’t let her go. So, Emily, you don’t have any other option but to accept
Charlie.”
Emily sat on the couch, her knees pulled up to her chest, “Mrs. James probably
knows about Kya now. So, it’s not just me Charlie has to face”
Charlie drove back to the James residence. His feelings for Kya and his
heartache for Emily were all jumbled up in his mind, leaving him with a whirlwind
of emotions.
He remembered how he had planned to help Kya find her father, only to
discover that he was the man who had wronged Emily.
He chuckled at the irony.
Perhaps he should have investigated earlier. Unveiling the truth from the past
could have saved him and Emily a lot of trouble.
He cared too much and that’s why he had been afraid to dig deeper.
Emily needed time to cool down, and he would give her that. He was certain
that as long as Kya was with him, Emily wouldn’t go far.
He would make up to her for all the hardships she had endured.
Upon reaching the James residence and entering the living room, he found his
parents entertaining Kya. His usually stern-faced father was even singing
nursery rhymes to her.
His mother was clapping and feeding Kya.
Kya, sitting on her newly bought hobbyhorse, was all smiles.
Charlie’s heart warmed at the sight, and he went over to greet her, “Kya.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon seeing him, Kya immediately dismounted her toy horse and ran toward
him.
Charlie bent down to pick her up, asking gently, “Are you having fun?”
“Yes.” Kya nodded, “But I miss my mommy. Can I go home now?”
Charlie hesitated slightly, “Your mommy has some things to take care of. How
about you stay here with me for today?”
Kya pouted, “But where’s Mommy?”
Mrs. James walked over, smiling at Kya with affection, “There are new toys
upstairs. How about you play with them? And then we can come back down to
find your daddy.”
Kya obediently nodded and was carried upstairs by Mrs. James.
Mr. James stood up and gave Charlie a penetrating look, “Come to the study
with me”
Charlie followed him into the study.
Seated on the mahogany chair, Mr. James asked in a serious tone, “Tell me
what’s going on, Charlie.”
