Candice stared at his hand. “…”

Wasn’t this a little too exaggerated?!

Charlie, as if reading her inner thoughts, helpfully reminded her, “Jackson always did this.”

His slightly lowered gaze carried a hint of grievance.

Candice faltered, “Then I… I can take you to the trauma clinic. Adonis can rub some herbal wine on it for you. His skills are excellent.”

Charlie: “…”

He sighed and extended his hand toward her. “Whoever I got hurt for, should be responsible.”

Candice gave a sheepish smile. “I didn’t say I wasn’t responsible. It’s just that… my technique might not be the best, so I thought maybe a professional would be better…” Under the weight of his intense gaze, her voice grew softer and softer. “But… if you don’t mind… I could boil an egg to rub on it for you.”

A flicker of amusement danced in Charlie’s eyes. “So… your place, or mine?”

Candice fell silent.

“Or…” He leaned in, lips brushing against her ear, his low voice murmuring, “Your parents’ place? Weren’t you going there?”

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 188 The Arrival of Someone

    Candice’s cheeks flushed.She glared at him.There were only the two of them in the room, but it felt as if she was being watched by everyone. She lowered her voice and reminded him, “It’s working hours, please don’t flirt.”Charlie pulled her closer, resting his forehead against hers. He whispered softly, “Come up to the rooftop tonight to see the kitten. You haven’t visited it in days. It says it misses you.”“I can go, but... I won’t stay overnight.”She stared at his lips, her breath quickening.Charlie gently brushed his warm breath against her cheek. “Candice has the potential to be a heartbreaker.”“Don’t say that, I’ll get too proud.”With that, daring Candice quickly stole a kiss on the CEO’s lips before grabbing the file and dashing off like a rabbit.Charlie, feeling the lingering sweetness of her kiss, let out a soft chuckle....Candice took the file downstairs to deliver it to Morton. On the way, she opened it for a quick glance.To her surprise, it was the document for

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 187 The Arrival of Evil Ghost No. 2

    Charlie’s expression was filled with confusion.He knew it was unlikely, but he asked anyway, hoping to hear the real reason behind James's actions. The scene made sense and was natural, leaving no excuses for the other party.“You must have already guessed,” James smiled.As they walked toward the elevator, James explained his thoughts, “Candice's grandmother was once one of my family’s servants. Her mother lived with us for a few years when she was young. I happened to run into her mother at the supermarket a few days ago, and that’s when I learned all this.”“Did you have a past with Candice's mother?” Charlie asked bluntly.“No, no,” James waved his hand, “We lived in the same house, but our interactions weren’t that much.”“Then why did you come all the way here?” Charlie asked.“Well… how should I put this…”James didn't know how to answer as they rode the elevator up. Even though he wanted to say more, he realized his thoughts sounded irrational and crazy. He feared he would be

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 186 The Fool Who Hurts Himself to Hurt Others

    “Dad, I heard you and Mom came back home. I specially asked someone to find this orchid for you. I’m sure you’ll like it. Please take a look—”“Get lost! Our family has nothing to do with you anymore!”…Candice froze.Listening to the exchange outside, she was completely numb.She stood there torn for a moment—should she go out and deal with the fool outside or shut the door and trap her father with him? Or should she turn back and deal with the ongoing battlefield inside the house?In the end, she chose nothing.Let it all burn.She backed away into the house and headed for the kitchen. “Oh, I just remembered—we already have watermelon at home.”She ran off quickly.Margaret looked like she had given up on everything too.Outside, Robert entered, followed by Kyle, who was holding a gift box. One was fuming, the other trying to please.The moment they walked in and saw the full living room, both men froze.Robert: …Is this a tea party?One ex-son-in-law, one neighbor boy who’s had a

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 185 What Is This Chaos?

    “Mr. Lawrence.”Candice slowed her speech as she repeated the words.Charlie furrowed his brow. “He came to see you?”Candice didn’t want him to know about her mother’s possible past relationship with Mr. Lawrence. After a moment of hesitation, she answered, “He’s an old acquaintance of my parents.”An "old acquaintance" could mean friends or classmates.It could be anything....Although, given James’s status and his social circle, it was hard to imagine that her teacher parents had ever been close to him. They had no real connections.Charlie could sense her evasiveness but didn’t press further.“Alright, I understand.”Candice sighed in relief.She hung up the phone and politely invited James into the house.As James entered, he smiled at Margaret. “That was your boyfriend calling?”“No, no.” Margaret waved her hand dismissively.“Wasn’t that call for Charlie?”“…Ah, yes, but—”Candice, overhearing their conversation, felt a chill run down her spine.She quickly interjected, “Mr. La

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 184 Morning Guest

    Charlie was stunned by her enthusiasm.He held the soft body in his arms tightly, letting her do whatever she wanted.Outside the car, the wind was picking up.Leaves rustled violently, and the willow branches swayed madly, as if they were about to snap under the pressure.Inside the tightly shut car, darkness engulfed everything. The windows fogged up. A pair of pale hands slid down the misty glass, leaving chaotic streaks like they were fading from life itself.The next second, a large hand pressed over hers.Their fingers intertwined.The fog melted into fragrant dew...Midnight had long passed.Candice leaned against his chest, unmoving."How long has it been past that half hour?"A voice came from above.She replied lazily, "Twenty minutes. We still have ten left."Charlie helped straighten her clothes. "Why don’t we use those ten minutes to go home and sleep?"Candice shook her head. "No, I like it here."In this tiny, dark space swallowed by night, this was her best moon. She w

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 183 Such a Good Man

    Candice’s humming suddenly hit a sour note.She had drunk too much at lunch, and the entire afternoon had been a hazy blur. He had made her rest in his office, and just before the end of the workday, he told her she could leave.She had thought... they wouldn’t see each other again today.She picked up the shopping bags on the passenger seat, stepped out of the car, and walked over.“Mr. Clemens, what are you doing here at this hour?”She stood before him, her tone casual and indifferent.As if she had just run into her boss on the street—friendly on the surface, but 90% of it was forced.The light under the tree was dim, but thankfully a nearby streetlamp offered enough of a glow to make out each other’s expressions.Candice had crescent-moon eyes from smiling.Charlie’s deep, unreadable gaze moved from her face to her hands. “Sobered up?”“Mm, I have,” she nodded. “Actually, I handle alcohol pretty well—get drunk fast, but recover just as quickly.”“I noticed. You sobered up fast.”
