Chapter 1736

Emily’s phone beeped with an incoming message; she glanced at the screen to

find it was a message from Gavin, saying “Emily, I have something to attend to

and need to leave. Can you take care of Mr. James for now?”

Emily clenched her teeth in frustration. “Are you doing this on purpose?” she

texted back.

Gavin was quick to defend himself. “I swear, I’m not. I’ll be back soon. Please,

just help me out for now.”

Taking a deep breath, Emily put her phone down and picked up the glass of

water, heading back to the bedroom.

When she entered the bedroom, she saw that Charlie had fallen asleep. She put

the glass on the bedside table, intending to cover him with the blanket before

leaving.

“It’s hot,’ Charlie muttered, pushing the blanket away.

Thinking that he might be awake, she asked, “Want some more water?”

Charlie slowly opened his eyes and stared at her intently. “Emily?”

“Yes,’ she replied, nodding slightly.
