After She She Stopped Loving Him

Yolanda was dropped off at Moonbay Estate. As soon as she got out of the car, she rubbed her head. “Honey, I’m going to rest first.”

Charles stayed in the car. He had plans to meet with Quinn and the others tonight. He reached out and ruffled her hair. “Okay.”

She stood by the car door, holding his hand. “I need to handle the share transfer from Ken and Wayne slowly. Honey, are you really not mad that I took the shares?”

“Let me kiss you a few more times, and I won’t be mad,” he said.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, as if she were shy. She closed the car door. “I’m going inside.”

The way she moved was so full of life, it could steal anyone’s attention.

Charles couldn’t help but find her adorable, a faint smile flickering across his lips. Just then, his phone rang- Sophie’s name lit up on the screen.

Ever since Joelle came back to Beloris, Charles hadn’t contacted Sophie at all.

Sophie was feeling nervous, but she just couldn’t bring herself to disturb him.

“Charles, you haven’t come to see me in ages,” Sophie said softly.

Charles frowned, only now remembering he still had this side relationship. ‘Guess it’s time to put an end to this,’ he thought.

“Head over to Muse Club, Sophie. I need to talk to you,” Charles said.

Sophie’s eyes sparkled. She dolled herself up in a hurry and headed straight over.

Charles used to always bring her along to the club, and his friends would be hanging out in the VIP room. ‘If he’s inviting me again tonight, maybe he really does like me, at least a little?‘ she wondered to herself.

Her heart was pounding like crazy–right up until she ran into Joelle at the entrance.
