Chapter 516 Charles’ Selfishness

Both man and woman were standing in front of the railing, and they had their backs turned against Toby. Toby couldn’t see their faces, so he couldn’t tell what they were talking about. However, when he realized that both of them had kept a distance of more than ten inches between each other, his expression softened a little.

“When did Charles arrive?” Toby asked coldly.

Tom took a glance at his wristwatch before answering. “About ten minutes ago.”

Toby nodded. “Why are you looking for me?”

“Old Mrs. Fuller wants you to go over,” Tom explained.

“I’ll go to her now. I want you to stay here and keep an eye on them. If Charles gets any closer to Sonia, I want you to separate them from each other,” Toby ordered.

The corner of Tom’s lips twitched when he heard Toby’s words. Can you stop acting like a kid, President Fuller? Of course, Tom didn’t reveal his true opinions and merely pushed his glasses up his nose as he agreed to Toby’s request. “I got it, President Fuller.” Toby took one last glance at Sonia and Charles before he walked off to look for Rose.

Meanwhile, on the balcony, Charles swirled his wine glass as he looked at the dejected woman whose gaze was fixed on the floor. “What is it? Are you in a bad mood?” he asked worriedly. “I told you so much, but you barely responded to what I said.”

“Yeah, I’m in a pretty bad mood.” Sonia clinked glasses with him before she raised her head to sip her drink. Charles turned around to rest both his arms against the balcony’s railing. “What is it?”

Sonia looked at the view from the balcony. “It’s nothing. I just think that feelings are the least reliable thing in this world,” she uttered.

Charles was about to take a sip of his drink, but his actions came to a halt when he heard what she said. “Are you talking about romantic feelings?”

“Yeah.” Sonia nodded. “I told you that Toby wanted to let go of me before this, right? He changed his mind tonight, and he said that he’d wait for me. Don’t you think his feelings for me are a total joke, Charles?” He gives up on me when he wants to, and he changes his mind when he wants to. What do I mean to him?
