Chapter 32
Chapter 32
Karen had countless dates with Charlie a long time ago. At that time, it was happy and sweet, but now Karen only had one feeling—disgust!
She did not want to see this man even once more, but had to come to see him out of no choice. She took in a deep breath and tried to calm down.
After going upstairs, Charlie waved her over and said, "Karen, I'm here."
In the past, Karen liked the way this man called her name, but now...
Karen shook her head and did not want to think about the past, so she walked towards Charlie and sat down opposite him.
After settling down, she subconsciously glanced at Charlie's forehead and saw that it was bandaged. She didn't know how the wound was.
Charlie grinned and said, "Karen, you are concerned about me."
Karen did not deny that she was concerned about his wound since she was the one who caused it. She did not want to get involved in a homicide case for this unworthy man.
She glared at him coldly and could no longer find the heartache she felt yesterday. Her state of mind was surprisingly calm, and even she herself did not expect this.
She was silent, yet Charlie did not care. He beckoned for the waiter to serve her a cup of coffee and said, "This is the latte flavor you like."
Karen said calmly, "Master Gook, simply state what you wanted to say. I don't have time to squander with you here."
In the past, she used to stay up late to work on her bridal designs. When she was sleepy, she would drink coffee. After a long period of time, she became dependent on coffee. However, later on, she stopped having coffee. Unless she was too sleepy, she generally did not touch coffee anymore.
In the past three years, numerous people and many things had changed, and she was no exception. But she didn't want to clarify this to him, because it was unnecessary.
Charlie continued, "Well, let's have a cup of coffee first. Let's have a talk."
Karen pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Gook, since you invited me here, let's make things clear. Please don't..."
"Of course!" Charlie did not want to hear her refusal, so he interrupted her and said, "I really wanted to see you in California this time. I hope you can calm down and hear me out."
"Speak then." Karen picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. She wanted to hear what he was going to say.
Charlie reached out to hold her hand, but before he could touch it, Karen immediately withdrew her hand and glanced at him coldly.
So Charlie withdrew his hand as well. Then he said seriously, "Well, just come back with me. Let's start over."
"Oh..." Karen felt that she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. Charlie really had the guts to say such words.
Did he think that she was as shameless as him, that she could pretend that nothing had happened?
"Waiter, please give me a glass of hot milk."
Suddenly, a low and provocative voice came from behind, this made Karen slightly shocked. Perhaps Charlie and other people would not notice this voice, but Karen knew that it was Kevin.
She didn't see him when she arrived at the cafe. When did he come? How long had he been sitting behind her? How much of their conversation had he heard?
For a minute, Karen's mind was blank. She did not hear what Charlie was saying at all. She was thinking of what Kevin would think of her.
She subconsciously clenched her fists and bit her lip. She was so nervous that her face turned pale.
Charlie saw her expression change and thought that his words had touched her. He said, "Now, you have to believe me. I have never changed my affections for you."
Karen did not respond. Charlie continued affectionately, "As long as you are willing to go back with me, I promise that the title of Mrs. Gook will be yours."
"Mrs. Kyle, this glass of milk was requested by Mr. Kyle to be sent to you here." Amelia handed a glass of milk to Karen and smiled. "Mr. Kyle also has something to discuss with you, he had asked me to come over and let you know. Please wait for him for a while."
"Thank you!" Karen understood that Kevin was helping her out.
"I'll go first. Call me if you need anything." Amelia greeted her and left with a smile.
Karen pursed her lips and turned back. She saw Kevin in a silver-grey suit, he was in a discussion with Nick. Catching her looking at him, Kevin also looked at her and gestured at her with a smile.
Karen nodded at him, and her heart suddenly calmed down. The haze over her head disappeared in the blink of an eye. She gently loosened her fist, and her face gradually returned to normal.
She looked back at Charlie and saw that his face had darkened. He said coldly, "You're married?"
In the past, Karen had thought that Charlie looked good, but compared to Kevin, Charlie was much worse in appearance, temperament, and attitude.
At this moment, Karen really wanted to thank Charlie, to thank him for not marrying her. Otherwise, she would not meet such an excellent man like Kevin three years later.
Kevin's small move reassured her She said with confidence, "Master Charlie, as you've heard, I'm married. Please don't disturb my life any longer."
Charlie gazed towards Kevin, but Kevin was busy with his discussion, not paying attention to Charlie's gaze.
Charlie did not want to believe that Karen was married. In his heart, Karen must still love him.
Karen might still be blaming him for what he had done, but he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to win her heart. Nonetheless, he never expected that she would say that she was married.
"In any case, do you think that I will believe what you said? Perhaps you have just randomly asked someone to act for you?" Charlie did not want to believe that Karen was really married.
Karen said, "I don't need to explain it to you. Believe it or not, you just need to remember not to disturb my life anymore."
"Karen, how could you?" Charlie gritted his teeth and said only a few words. His face had never been so distressed before.
Karen said, "Charlie, I have the freedom to choose who I want to marry. What right do you have to say these words to me? Don't forget what you've done to me back then."
Was it possible that after he had done such a sickening thing, she still had to love him and marry someone only with his permission?
She was never such a silly woman. She would not be stupid enough to wait for someone she didn't deserve for the rest of her life.
Charlie's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said darkly, "I gave you a chance. You did not cherish it. No matter what happens in the future, it will all be your fault."
Karen looked at him and said in a low voice, "Charlie, if you are a man, come to me if you have something you want to do. If you dare hurt him, I will never let you go."
Charlie raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, " I'd prefer to see what he can do if he dares touch my woman."
