She paused for a moment before speaking earnestly, “I wronged you three years ago. I know what I did was wrong,
and even if you blame me, I won’t make any excuses.”
Charlie looked at her, his thin lips curving slightly, “I’ll ask you, did you give yourself to me that night because you
felt guilty, or because you liked me? Tell the truth.”
Under the penetrating gaze of his dark eyes, Emily’s hidden feelings seemed to have nowhere to hide, and she
blurted out, “I didn’t want Noreen to win, and I didn’t want her to be with you.”
“So, you like me?” Charlie’s smile deepened, “Since when?”
Emily blinked, as if thinking carefully, then shook her head, “I don’t know.”
Charlie laughed at her innocent expression, sighing softly, “Silly girl, I never blamed you. That night, I always

but when I lifted the blanket and found Noreen, can you imagine how I felt?”
Emily frowned slightly, a pang of pain in her heart.
Charlie continued, “That’s why I was angry, my joy had been doused with cold water. I even despised myself, not
knowing how to deal with this self-loathing, so I vented my anger on you.”
Emily lowered her head, “I’m sorry.”
“You did nothing wrong, you don’t have to apologize.” Charlie sipped his drink, murmuring, “I’m grateful that you
kept Kya. The pain I felt three years ago is matched by the happiness I feel now.”
Emily drained the remaining drink in her glass, her eyes gradually reddening, “I know you did a lot for me. That ten
thousand dollars, my dad’s situation, I know it all. I’m grateful, but also helpless, I don’t know how to repay your
kindness.”
The sight of those castles moved her beyond words.
Charlie looked at her intently, “Just take one step towards me, just one step.”
“But your family won’t agree to us being together, you’ll be stuck in the middle, it’ll be tiring.” Emily’s eyes were
glossy and dark.
Charlie spoke softly, “Emily, come here, to me.”
Emily gazed at his tender and affectionate eyes, and without any hesitation, she stood and walked towards him.
Charlie grasped her wrist and invited her to sit beside him. He turned to her, holding her hands, his eyes focused on
hers, “Do you trust me? Do you believe that I only love one person, and that I can manage the relationship between
you and my family?”
Emily’s eyes flickered, and she found herself nodding unconsciously.
“Then what are you afraid of? Just leave everything to me, all you have to do is stand firmly by my side” Charlie

Emily’s gaze was clear, her heart seemed to be instantly free from confusion, lit by the man’s gentle eyes.
She suddenly felt relieved. Even if Charlie changed his heart in the future, she wouldn’t regret this moment of
gazing into his eyes. How could she not throw herself into a relationship with a man who loved her so much?
“Emily.” Charlie leaned forward, pressing his forehead against hers, “You have no idea how painful it was for me
when you said you didn’t love me. You know I’m Kya’s dad, the one you can’t forget, and I was so happy I couldn’t
sleep. You’re really driving me crazy.”
The corner of Emily’s lips curled slightly, her voice soft, “Even if it’s torture, you’re not the only one being tortured.”
Charlie’s eyes darkened, he leaned in and kissed her lips gently, “It’s my fault. Three years ago, when you came to
me, I missed my chance. Did you hate me for those two years abroad?”
Emily immediately shook her head, “No, never.”
Charlie’s heart ached slightly, ‘Let’s go get our marriage certificate tomorrow.”
He wanted to love her openly, to spoil her.
Emily was startled, “Get a what?”
