LOGINCharlie's face was as cold as if it had been covered with a layer of ice.
Sophia and the others were confused.
Who pissed him off?
Sophia glanced at Candice: "BFF, did I miss something exciting?"
Candice just smiled and didn’t respond.
Sigh, the third young master of the youth pain literature genre is quite a headache.
"Marlene, it’s time. You should leave now."
Charlie’s tone was very calm.
Marlene nodded, said goodbye to the others, and stood up. "You two, come with me. Don’t make trouble for your big brother."
Nicole, naturally obedient, stood up immediately.
Ollie, however, stayed seated without moving.
"Dear little brother, why aren’t you moving?" Marlene smiled sweetly, bending down to press her hand on his shoulder. "Do you want me to carry you?"
"I told you I have something to do."
"Seems like you’re refusing to leave."
"You two are enough! I&

Candice’s heart gave a sharp, burning jolt."I’ve had enough of the sun on my front. Now, I want to sunbathe my back."She turned around, burying her face in his chest, her arms instinctively wrapping around his waist, and she closed her eyes in contentment.The sun was high in the sky, but the warm rays exclusive to her were wrapped around her, held tight in his embrace.Charlie gently combed her hair with his hand. "Sunbathe, then. Let’s both get some calcium."On the neighboring balcony.Edward, who had just woken up and was craving a cigarette, threw on some pants and a shirt before heading outside. As soon as he stepped onto the balcony, he saw the two of them, cuddling and soaking in the sun together.... What kind of game are they playing now??Are they competing to see who gets sunburned first?Charlie was enjoying the warmth of Candice’s closeness, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw
Sophia instantly went from murderous intent to burning heat.Her mind flashed back to the last time he’d been injured in battle, lying in bed and generously letting her touch him—so stimulating she nearly got a nosebleed.This “gay” man was way too seductive!“Sweet granddaughter, are you trying to get us killed? If we fell down the stairs, who’s paying whose medical bills?”Mr. Lawrence teased without even realizing it.Seeing that she’d steadied herself, he let go.Only after her palm had made a full, deliberate sweep across his chest muscles did Sophia calmly push herself upright.Edward: …Quite good at taking advantage, aren’t you.Sophia took a step back, her expression turning icy.“You really don’t know why I tried to strangle you, Mr. Lawrence? I’m begging you—don’t ever bring up that embarrassing night again, and don’t call me ‘sweet granddaughter.’ Otherwise, I honestly don’t know what I might end up doing.”Edward lowered his gaze and glanced at his chest.“Mm. I felt it. Y
Candice’s face went blank.“...Don’t ever have another ‘bright idea’ like that again.”Didn’t she worry that Kyle might turn on her?Especially now that even Mike had shown up with him—it only further proved that Kyle still had close ties with the Jones family.Reading the wariness in her eyes, Kyle felt his throat tighten. “She’s your best friend. I wouldn’t harm her.”Candice smiled faintly.Yeah, right.Just because his memory was bad didn’t mean she had to be shameless too—forgetting everything just because he said he’d lost his memory. She would never forget how he had threatened her with her parents, forcing her to write a letter of forgiveness for Mia.This man loved no one but himself.Unwilling to waste time arguing over something meaningless, she asked directly, “I’m curious—why did Mr. Jones come along t
Rex had still been holding on to some lingering murderous intent. The moment they shouted at him, it dissipated at once.“I’m fine.”Nicole trembled as she pointed at the blood all over him. “Then… whose blood is that?”“Someone else’s,” Rex replied.“Thank goodness.” Nicole patted her chest in relief.Candice looked at him, covered head to toe in blood. “What about Frank and Glen? Are they okay?”Those two had gone with them to rescue people and were also responsible for cleaning up afterward. Earlier, when she heard Edward mention that several of the captured men had died, she’d immediately thought of them.Rex’s gaze darkened slightly, but his tone remained light and casual. “It’s nothing serious. Frank just got injured a bit—not life-threatening. She’ll just need some time to recuperate.”Candice could te
Candice: “……”I just recognized him—was that really necessary?!Edward couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up for his sister. “Isn’t this obvious? Kyle is her ex-husband. Of course she’s familiar with him. What’s wrong with that? That’s perfectly normal. You don’t have to get jealous over everything.”Jerry silently sucked in a sharp breath from the driver’s seat.Brave—Mr. Lawrence, you’re truly brave. If I said that, next year today would be my death anniversary.Candice’s heart skipped nervously.That was way too direct…She stiffly changed the subject. “What I’m worried about right now is Sophia. Everything else isn’t important.”“Since Sophia left in Kyle’s car, they might still be together. I’ll have him send her back.”She picked up her phone and started typ
