“I never used to be like this.” Chester stared at Charity and suddenly said, “Back then, I wanted to love someone with all my heart too. However, just as I started to fall in love with her, a lot of things happened, which led me to stop believing in relationships.”Charity was stunned.Did Chester fall in love with someone back then?Who was it?Could it have happened before he got together with her?Now that she recalled it, she was purely cannon fodder.“I’m curious what kind of woman managed to trap you, Young Master Jewell.” Charity turned around and poured a cup of water for herself.“You know her too. It’s Charity. Charity Neeson.”Chester’s voice sounded from behind.“Cough, cough.”Charity choked on the water she had just swallowed.She coughed for a long time until her eyes reddened. Then, a hand gently patted her back. “Are you alright?”Charity shrugged his hand off and glowered at him, her eyes full of resentment. “I’m not. Chester, please don’t make sport of a
Larry Parker?It took Charity over ten seconds to recall the boy.Based on her memory, Larry looked decent and always wore a yellowish shirt. Even so, he was good-looking and achieved good results in school. Many girls in their class were fond of him.However, she was an exception.She only treated Larry as a friend. What was more, the two of them were top scorers and monitors in their class. It was inevitable that they were often in touch with each other.“How ludicrous.” Charity said furiously, “...Charity isn’t that sort of person.”“What if you were in my shoes?” Chester suddenly looked at her. “Imagine you found a diary in your boyfriend’s room one day, and the diary was filled with his handwriting. He wrote that he went after you for the sake of your identity and beauty and that he had long since fallen in love with another woman who did not have the edge over you and wouldn’t be able to provide you the life you wanted. Would you believe it?”Charity was stunned by the que
Charity was speechless. “That’s if unless you don’t care.” Chester said icily, “The next day, I broke up with her. I made many nasty remarks to hurt her for the sake of keeping my dignity. Sarah had always badmouthed her in front of me, regardless of whether it was before or after the breakup, so as time passed, my hatred toward Charity grew stronger. I thought it was nonsense to call that true love. After all, she approached me all because of my status and wealth, and because of that, all women are no good.”“...”Charity was shocked for quite a while before she chuckled. “This is ridiculous. To you, Sarah was probably the best woman at that time. You believed everything she said, didn’t you?”“Back then, I didn’t. But after seeing Charity hugging a man and entering the hotel, I started to believe Sarah.”Chester curled her fingers in distress. “I must admit that Shaun, Rodney, and I let our guard down with Sarah. She deceived us so many times and made me misunderstand Charity.
“Perhaps something is wrong with me as well. Aren’t all of you desperate for money? In that case, I’ll criticize and insult you. I deal with a lot of stress at work everyday, having to perform surgery and manage such a huge company. Besides giving me more pressure, my parents have been grumbling about me and telling me off. Because of that, I say whatever is on my mind. I don’t hide things. I’m sure all of you have cursed me behind my back, but that’s fine. I don’t care because I’m exhausted and uncomfortable, so nobody should feel happy too.”“...”At that point, Charity had no idea what to say.She had never heard Chester speak so much in her past and current lives.She concluded that Chester’s personality had become extreme probably after he broke up with her.What was more, he was with women from the entertainment industry the most.Truth be told, it was easy to make money in the entertainment industry, but the scene was very messy. Regardless of men or women, many people had
Charity was utterly stunned.She used to think that Chester disliked her.However, she just found out that she and Chester broke up because they misunderstood each other as a result of Sarah’s plot.It seemed like Charity and Chester had been in a vicious cycle for many years.If she had not died, she would regret it and find it a pity. She would even blame it on fate.However, her feelings for Chester had been overwhelmed by hatred for many years.He was the reason Charity was resistant toward relationships and even resented them.What Chester said tonight had finally cleared the air, but that was all.“Eliza, putting aside the issues earlier, I think we’re quite a good match…”Chester’s mesmerizing voice and presence slowly drew closer to her.Nevertheless, as he got closer to her, all he saw was Charity’s indifferent eyes.His body froze, and somehow, he felt frustrated. “At least show me some respect. After all, I’m quite good-looking, and I have a good voice and physiqu
Charity was stunned. However, probably because she did not have a good sleep and had a headache, she rolled her eyes at Chester. “You’re lucky I didn’t make you pay for staying overnight, and now you ask me to prepare breakfast for you? Are you out of your mind?”Then, she stacked the pancakes and placed them on the plate before bringing the food to the dining room with some milk for breakfast.Chester gnashed his teeth. While watching her eat with relish, he was also a little hungry. “Where are your other pancakes? I’ll make one on my own. I’ll pay you, okay?” “It’s in the second row of the freezer.” Charity munched her food and thought for a moment before she responded.Chester promptly took out a pancake and made it. After that, he shamelessly took a bottle of milk from the fridge. “Oh, Lizzie, pass me your contact number, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”Charity took out her phone, tapped on it for a while, and showed him a QR code with 23 dollars. “Just scan it.”“...”
“Not only have I been hurt by Monte, but by you too. Anyway, I’ve had my fair share of bad guys. It’s nice to be alone.”Charity took a bite of the pancake and chewed on it.Chester looked at her dejectedly. “I can get you a psychologist.”“What’s the point of getting a psychologist?” Charity mocked, “To have me treated for your enjoyment?”“Well… We can all have fun, right?” Chester asked, “Don’t you want to have a child?”“Why must I have a child? Being pregnant for nine months isn’t easy, and the child can be annoying. Isn’t it better to live my life alone?” With that, Charity suddenly looked down. “What’s more, what’s good about having a child? I’m a public figure. Given that our affair has caused such an uproar, the child will become the topic of discussion. However, the child is innocent.”“If you give birth to my child, no one will discuss it.”“With you?” Charity nearly rolled her eyes. “Am I crazy?”“...”Chester returned to the topic again.He said, “I’ll get you a
“What could be more important than me?” Monte was pleased with Eliza’s reply, but still, he asked sourly. “I’m not telling you.” Charity responded with a quick retort. Upon detecting a hint of forced arrogance in her voice, Monte’s heart melted. He found Eliza too mild-mannered back then, so he was delighted that she now showed her arrogant side. Indeed, a short separation between a couple could refresh a relationship. “Fine, don’t tell me. However, don’t get too close with other men behind my back,” he warned sternly. “I think the man who sent you home that night may be interested in you.” “That was Ryan’s friend.” Charity got in her car while putting on an act for him over the phone. “He was the blind date that Ryan introduced to me a while ago.” Monte was taken aback by that unexpected reply, and he immediately felt upset, “Lizzie, are you doing this on purpose? I’ll admit that you’ve made me jealous, terribly jealous.” Charity was speechless. Coming across that
