Chapter 1
Chapter 1
After my failed confession to Charlie Walker, I was sent abroad by the Walker family.
The day I returned to the country, everyone was afraid that I would get close to Charlie again.
Even he himself said. The biggest stain in my life is being liked by my adopted sister.”
To prevent me, they introduced many girls to Charlie. He accepted them all without hesitation, wrapping his arm around their waists and saying casually to others.
“If Emily Green can put away her improper feelings, I wouldn’t mind her coming back”
It seemed like he thought I was still secretly in love with him,
But this time when I returned to the country.
It was really just to marry someone else.
When I appeared at the door of the private room, the air around me froze instantly.
The girl who had just been rejected by Charlie and lost a dare, attempting to
co kiss him.
He was leaning lazily against the sofa, relaxed and swag
Until someone, I don’t know who, suddenly cursed out loud-
“Damn, why is Emily back!”
Only then did everyone snap back to reality, stepping forward in unison to shield Charlie behind them.
Just like years ago.
They awkwardly smiled at
“When did you come back, Little sister? You didn’t even say anything, we could’ve come to pick you up
“How did you find your way here on your own? Have you eaten yet? Want to come in for some snacks..
I stood still not moving, glanced at the doorplate of the private room, and smiled slightly.
“No. I came to the wrong place.”
The few people blocking the door instinctively let out a sigh of rebe
Just as they were about to say something, a mocking laugh came from inside.
Charlie reached out and pulled the girl who was standing in front of him with tears in her eyes, into his arms.
He kissed her on the chin
“Take a breath.
“Such things, how can we let a girl ask for a kiss?
His voice was lazy, and the girl in his arms blushed deeply from the kiss.
Clutching his collar, trembling and nervous, she spoke up.
“Charlie. L.. I. can I be your girlfriend..”
Charlie didn’t speak, but instead, he glanced at me indifferently, then deepened the kiss
He answered with action.

Chapter 1
The girl was thrilled, and the other people in the room started cheering,
I looked down at the time, turned in leave, but someone called me from behind.
“Emily”
Imstinctively turned back, and Charlie walked out of the private room.
It had been three years since we last met, yet his face hadn’t risinged one hit
He held a cigarette between his fingers, his tone at
“When did you come back?”
“Yesterday.”
“Why didn’t you go home?”
I stayed silent.
“Now that you’re back, don’t wander around. Go hack and see Mom and Dad.”
I still didn’t respond, instead glancing at the watch on my wrist, my expression tinged with impatience.
“Is there anything else?”
Charlie’s gaze fell on my wrist, and he frowned slightly.
“Where’s the bracelet?”
I frose for a moment.
Then I remembered something.
A sarcastic smile appeared on my face.
“I put it away.”
Three years ago, after a boy confessed to me, Charlie didn’t say anything.
He just led the way and beat up that boy, then without a word, took out the Walker family’s heirloom bracelet and put it on me.
Charlie’s frown loosened, and his tone remained calm
t’s just a small thing, no need to treat it as precious.
“Next time…
“Charlie”
Charlie’s words were interrupted by a clear voice from the side.
The girl from the private room ran out, she stepped forward and linked her arm with Charlie’s, then extended her hand toward me, smaling brightly.
You must be Emily, right? Hi Fm Sarah Robinson, you can call me Sarah, or…
or… Sister in law.”
She seemed a little shy, and when she said the last two words, she raised her head and shyly glanced at Charlie.
I really didn’t have enough time, and if I stayed any longer, that man was going to get angry.
I didn’t have time to play the third wheel here.
I quickly nodded to her, greeted her. “H”
Then I turned and quickly walked away.

Sweet Surrender
Chapter 1
Before reaching the corner, I saw Lucas White leaning against the doorframe
He wore all black his nose was sharp, and his eyes were hidden in the dim light, making it hard to discern his emotions.
Under the light, his thin lips were beautifully sculpted.
I quickly stepped forward.
Taking the gift out of my pocket, I said.
“Happy birthday!”
His gaze slowly moved down
“You’re late”
I looked at the watch on my wrist, and the hour hand had already pointed to midnight.
The day had already passed.
A hint of irritation crossed my face.
If it weren’t for those two people who wasted my time earlier, I wouldn’t have been late.
Lucas wrapped his arm around my waist.
He pulled me close, as if to punish me.
The flight was originally scheduled for 9 AM, so I would have been hack in time to have lunch with Lucas before noon
thecause something came up at my school, I was delayed and only rushed back in the evening
I had promised to have dinner with him, but on the way, I ran into another issue
After all the trouble, here I am now.
The food had already gone cold.
But the temperature was rising
He suppressed the emotions in his eyes, lifted me in his arms, and carried me out of the private room.
It was a bit chilly outside, and Lucas took the cost from the sofa, covering my head with it.
The scent of cedar filled my nose, tugging at my heartstrings.
