After She She Stopped Loving Him

Chapter 127

Chapter 127

Charles leaned back in his chair, remembering that the pendant was a family heirloom–he’d heard that straight from Jack.

Yolanda was always so quiet about everything, so adorably meek it just made you want to tease her.

He picked up the documents next to him, his mood unshaken by what had just happened. He just told jack, “Go ahead with Minister Howard.”

Jack lowered his head, respectful as always. “It’s already in motion.”

Charles nodded. “Tomorrow morning, get things ready for Yolanda…”

Well, he’d just handed her that black card, and honestly, nothing else seemed to top that.

‘Fine. If Yolanda really wants me to keep out of Starlight’s affairs, then once she officially joins them, I’ll just ignore what happens over there.‘ Charles thought to himself.

“Are you feeling any better?” Charles teased lightly. “Just went along without thinking? Honestly, how can you be so naive?”

Yolanda dropped her gaze, eyes a little misty. “He said he’d burn the pendant and I… I guess I got scared.”

“If it means that much to you, then why did you give it to me in the first place?” Charles continued gently.

Yolanda said nothing, just kept her head down and quietly ate her food.

Charles’s heart melted. He leaned in, kissed her cheek and murmured, “Dummy.”
