Chapter 1719

Charlie’s gaze softened involuntarily as he sat on the bed, brushing his hand through Kya’s silky hair. The tenderness in his eyes was almost palpable.

His gaze rested on Kya, unblinking. After a moment, he stood up, closing the storybook on the bedside table and dimming the bedside lamp. Then he left the room.

Ms. Simmons had been waiting in the living room. Seeing Charlie, she stood up, saying, “Mr. James, it’s already late. Why don’t you stay here?”

“No, thank you. Emily was drunk, so she might have a headache tomorrow. Could you prepare some apple vinegar for her in the morning?” Charlie asked.

Ms. Simmons chuckled, “I’ll take good care of Emily, so don’t worry”

Charlie pulled out his phone, saying, “Emily’s new job is rather demanding. She might need to work overtime sometimes. Please take care of her and Kya. I’ll transfer $10,000 to you as an compensation.”

Ms. Simmons waved her hands. “Emily pays me well enough. You don’t need to give me extra money.”

“Please accept it. And dont tell her about it.” Charlie requested, then left. After a few steps, he turned back, “And don’t tell her about me bringing her home tonight, either.”

“Okay.”
