“This case will be submitted to court sooner or later. It still depends on the lawyer by then. Having said that, I have a lot of evidence at hand, so he’ll lose even if he gets a good lawyer,” Charity interrupted Max’s words.Max sighed gloomily. “Fine. I couldn’t help much again.”“Who said so? You saved me just now, didn’t you?” Charity said with a laugh, “Considering Manager Green’s physique, I definitely couldn’t have beaten him.”At the mention of the issue, Max frowned guiltily. “It was because I allowed Steven to take a day off that Manager Green managed to take advantage of the situation.”“This has nothing to do with you…”“No, it’s all my fault.” Max’s gaze was crestfallen.Charity blinked. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through him. “What do you want to do, then?”“Let me compensate you with a set of clothes.” Max’s gaze was no longer crestfallen. “I’ll buy you clothes as an apology.”Charity did a facepalm as she saw it coming. “No need…”“No way. It’s a terribl
“Hah. You can come to the mall and eat with Catherine and the rest but not me?” Max clicked his tongue and asked, “Am I not your friend?”“The thing is, you’re a man.” Charity smiled faintly. “I won’t mind unless you undergo sex reassignment surgery.”Max was speechless for a while before giving her a thumbs-up. “I don’t think you’ve ever treated me as a man.”It was Charity’s turn to be stunned.Max looked as if he wanted to cry but could not. “I think you treat me as your female buddy.”“...”Charity was dumbfounded. All of a sudden, she had no idea what to say.Deep down, she reflected on herself.Had she been treating him that way?“No. I treat you as my male buddy.” Charity picked up the cup in embarrassment, feeling the need to save her friendship that was at stake.“If you’re not good at speaking, eat more fish. I heard fish can make one smarter.” Max took a big piece of fish for her.Charity brutally stepped on his foot under the table.After the meal, Max came out
Charity let out a sigh.She had no idea what she could take of her friendship with Max.“Charity, there’s a women’s clothing store. Let’s go in and take a look. As I said, I want to buy you clothes.” Max pointed to the store ahead.“It’s fine. I’m not desperate for clothes…”“You can take a look at the new collection. No woman would think they have too many clothes.”Max tried to drag Charity along into the store.However, Charity refused, and the two of them were locked in a stalemate.At last, Max got frustrated. His usually beaming and handsome face immediately turned grim. “Charity, you always stand on ceremony with me…”“I’m really not desperate for clothes.” Charity tucked her hair behind her ear. “There’s no need to stand on ceremony with you. I’ve always considered you my family.”Max looked at her. “Since you consider me your family, and it's early now, let’s go and watch a movie.”Charity exchanged glances with him for a while before she finally nodded.Hence, the
Charity frowned. “Chester does know my identity, but we will never get back together.”Max’s dull eyes suddenly lit up. “Are you serious?”“How big of a heart do I need to get back together with Chester?” Charity asked.Max touched his tall nose. “But didn’t you used to love him very much?”“That was in the past. After we broke up, he got together with quite some women, and I’m not a trash can either.”She was not a trash can that collected waste material.The metaphor made Max laugh. “Chester isn’t a trash can, though. Many women dream of marrying him, but he just fools around with them.”Casting aside Chester’s behavior, he was actually charming in many aspects. Firstly, he had a unique identity, and secondly, God gave him a flawless face and model-like physique. Even his medical skills were said to be the most outstanding in Australia.In the face of such a love rival, as someone from a small town, Max felt inferior.However, Charity did not agree with him entirely. “You’re
After pausing for a moment, Max said again, “But… if you feel like falling in love one day, can you give me a chance? It’s because… I truly love you. Don’t worry. If you can’t bring yourself to love me after that, I definitely won’t force you.” His lips curled into a bright smile.Charity stared at him, not knowing what to say all of a sudden.She just felt… a little conflicted.At last, she nodded. “Alright.”Max grinned.His grin was like a shiny star in the night sky.It was so bright and sunny.The man had experienced bloodshed on the battlefield before, ye he was always pure when he was with her. “Bye. Good night.” Charity turned around and entered the neighborhood.Max kept his eyes fixed on her until her figure was out of his sight.…The next day.Charity woke up only to find that she had become one of the trending topics.Last night, the server took a photo of Max and her eating in the mall and even posted it as a story on Instagram. Soon, someone screenshotted
“How do you know he’s playing with my feelings?” Charity said indifferently, “At least he doesn’t have a fiancée. Even when I went out with him, I wouldn’t be called a homewrecker.”Monte quickly said, “Lizzie, give me some time. I should be able to cancel my marriage with the Tanner family next month. I’ve managed to partner with Hugo lately, and my dad is impressed.” “Really?” Charity feigned surprise.“Why would I lie to you?” Monte coaxed her softly, “Eliza, let’s have dinner together tonight. I miss you so badly. Seeing the news today has made me so jealous that I’m about to go crazy, and I really can’t accept you going on a date with another man. I promise I’ll cancel my marriage to Lilian. I swear on my life.”Charity sighed. When it came to saying sweet nothings, Monte was a f*cking talent.“Okay, then.”“Let’s eat at Corella. Do you remember that we shared our first meal together in that hotel? And after that, we did stargazing together.” Monte said joyfully, “I’ll come
“I think so too. That’s very bold of Monte. Eliza isn’t someone to be taken lightly. Even Young Master Jewell got tricked by her.”“Keep your voice down. Young Master Jewell is coming in a moment.”“You’re right in reminding me.” The speaker instantly lowered his voice. “I heard Eliza quit the entertainment industry because she became Monte’s kept woman. I guess they have rekindled their relationship.”“Pah! Monte isn’t a good guy. I heard that when Monte and Eliza broke up previously, Eliza disagreed with it and even threatened him with her life. However, the Patterson family didn’t approve of Eliza, and Monte also thought that Eliza wasn’t helpful in his career.”“How did you find out?”“My wife and Madam Patterson talked about it over a meal.”“But up close, Eliza is really pretty. It didn’t seem like she was wearing any make-up, but her skin was translucent. No wonder Monte and President Jewell want to sleep with her. Lilian’s appearance is nothing compared to Eliza’s.”“How
Chester softly exhaled a mouthful of smoke.He tried to fight his split personality.“What is everyone staring at? Start eating.” Chester lifted his exquisite chin.“Yeah.” Only then did everyone recover from their senses. “President Jewell, it’s been a long time since we had a meal together. Come. Let’s all toast to President Jewell.”Subsequently, everyone took turns to drink a toast to Chester.If that had happened in the past, Chester surely would not care to drink with them.However, alcohol appeared to be the only thing he could use to numb himself today.As a doctor, he knew full well that he could not drink alcohol after having gastrointestinal bleeding, but alcohol could prevent him from losing his sanity.Alcohol could prevent him from thinking about Charity all the time.…On the top floor, the server in the restaurant pushed a trolley of flowers and cake toward Charity.Monte rose to his feet and received the flowers, from where he took out a beautiful diamond ne
