Cindy had been taking care of Eudora at Clearwater Bay for almost ten years. Therefore, relatively speaking, she wasn't really outgoing. With so many men attracted to her and trying to please her all of a sudden, she suddenly became a little flustered. "I... " Eudora stood behind her and poked her in the arm. "It's okay, just go ahead! Don't worry, we're all here!" Eudora hinted. After that, she subconsciously looked towards Charlie again. It just so happened that he was looking at them too. His expression was inscrutable, and he seemed very concerned. Eudora felt a surge of joy in her heart. She knew that Charlie had some feelings towards Cindy. To her, it was necessary to use this kind of tactic against unemotional men like him. While Eudora was still thinking about it, Cindy had stretched her hand out to the random man. "Sure! I'm not very good at it though." "It's okay. I'm not really good at it either. We can learn
Naomi didn't dare to stay outside for too long since she was afraid that Amos would find out about her actions. She returned home after chatting with Nelson for a short while. As soon as she walked in the door, she felt that there was something amiss with the atmosphere inside. Her heart skipped a beat. She thought her parents found out that she had sneaked out to meet Nelson. Just as she was thinking of an excuse, Eudora spoke. Just as she was thinking of an excuse, Eudora spoke, "Come on, Cindy!" Only then did Naomi see that Cindy was standing opposite to Eudora. She hadn't noticed Cindy at first because she was blocked by the plants. "Phew! They're not talking about me," Naomi thought to herself. She heaved a sigh of relief and went upstairs hurriedly. ...... Cindy wasn't in a good mood, "Mrs. Granger, I know that you're doing all this for me, but I'm really exhausted. I want to leave Rosaville City and go to a quiet place to be alone for so
It looked just like an ordinary box and there was nothing special about it. Charlie hesitated. Since Cindy had already gone off with another man, there was no point in him opening the box. In the end, he couldn't control his curiosity and opened it. After he opened the box, he was stunned. There was a smaller box lying inside, which contained a pair of couple rings. The subordinate stared at the rings, "Wait, are these rings from 'Only One'?" Charlie looked at him curiously, "What?" "This is from 'Only One', a jewelry brand! I heard that couples can only order a set of these custom-made rings once in their lifetime, and that's why it's called 'Only One'!" After that, he gave Charlie the side-eye and asked, "Boss, this is..." Charlie did not answer him but he suddenly remembered that Cindy had once mentioned about it. That time, when they had gone out together, he hadn't been paying attention when Cindy had asked him about the rings.
Cindy was at a complete loss of words. It seemed that there had never been a man who had praised her like that. For as long as she could remember, Charlie had always been a taciturn person. When they were training together during their childhood, he was the kind of person who would not show any expressions no matter how hard the training was or how tired he felt. Later on, he became the leader of the team. He had always been fair and solemn, even towards his own teammates. He treated everyone the same way, including Cindy. She remembered a story of when they had participated in a training camp when they were both young. That time, they had been dropped off in a dense forest, instructed to overcome all difficulties to come out of the forest by themselves. Everyone was still young at that time, especially her. She had participated in the training not long after she came out of the orphanage. Looking at the harsh and challenging environment
Truth be told, Cindy was just speaking on impulse. Sometimes, emotions really couldn't be controlled. After she finished speaking, she felt that she had gone overboard. Just as she was hesitating to take the ring from Charlie's hand, a big pair of hands had already grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms. "That's what you said!" Charlie spoke into her ear. Cindy was stupefied. If it wasn't for his strong heartbeat in her ears, she would have thought that it was just a dream. When she finally came to her senses, she felt a little awkward and pushed Charlie away. "I-I'm leaving!" "Where are you going?" Charlie grabbed her once again. "You were the one who said that you liked me. You were also the one who wanted to be with me. You can't just leave as you wish now that I've fallen in love with you. That's irresponsible!" he continued. Cindy was surprised by his words, "What did you just say?" Charlie's brows knitted, "Why
Eudora and Naomi looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly they realized something. They spoke in unison. "It's Dad!" "It's Amos!" Puzzled, Naomi said, "Why is Dad behaving this way? Mom, you also know Nelson. It was an accident when he got injured last time. Didn't Dad often get injured in the past? You didn't leave him either!" Indeed, Eudora knew that. However, as parents, she and Amos needed to consider more than that. "Do you really like him very much that you can't do without him?" Naomi nodded firmly and said, "Yes!" "Alright then!" Eudora sighed. Naomi had grown up and wanted to lead her own life. She thought that perhaps she and Amos should start sorting out her marital affairs. When Amos came back in the evening, he saw Eudora sitting on the bed. She stared intently at him. He asked, "What's wrong? Cindy and Charlie had finally got together. Aren't you happy?" Eudora ignored his words and asked directly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God!" They all thought in unison. Nobody was injured. Eudora said, "Fortunately, I have prepared extra ingredients in the fridge." Christopher held his forehead and said, "There's no more!" Eudora was bewildered. Tina said with embarrassment, "I tried making it once at home before, and I thought my cooking skills were much better than before. That's why I took all the ingredients out from the fridge just now. I wanted to give you guys a surprise!" "This is indeed quite the surprise," Harley said in a low voice. He was stopped by a sidelong glance from Thea. "I'll go down the mountain to buy some new ingredients," Christopher suggested. "I'll go too!" Tina said awkwardly. Naomi said, "I'll do it! After all, I'm one of the younger ones here. Please wait here, I'll be back as soon as possible!" After that, Naomi had already turned and left in the car. Benedict immediately fol
Before Naomi could ask more, Benedict had already started the car. Naomi silently looked down at the box in her hand. It seemed like a necklace. She felt reluctant to put it on and didn't want anything to happen to it, hence she kept it inside its small box. "Let me drive!" Naomi said. Benedict shook his head and said, "No need! I can drive. I got my driving license not long ago!" Since Naomi had mentioned that he was a little kid, he had been trying hard recently to make himself come off as more of an adult. The first thing he did was to obtain his driving license. To his dismay, he found out that her feelings for him would not change regardless of whether he was an adult or a child. At the end of the day, she didn't harbor feelings for him. Naomi nodded, and then she seemed to think of something. "Benedict, please do me a favor. When we get back on the mountain, don't tell anyone that we met Nelson." Benedict pursed his lips while
