Chapter 289 Hand–Written Love Letter

“You keep looking around. What are you looking for?” Charles suddenly asked. He had noticed Emelle was distracted.

Emelle retracted her attention and said, “It’s nothing.”

Charles picked up a cocktail from the table and gave it to her. “If you’re looking for Mr. Middleton, he’ll definitely be here tonight.”

“Mr. Swanson asked me to deliver his regards to Mrs. Matilda, so I’m looking for her,” Emelle said calmly and then refused the cocktail. “Don’t worry about me.”

Charles sighed as it he was hurt. “Why are you refusing a drink from me? Am 1 so unsuited to be the right man for you? Am I not handsome enough? Is it because I haven’t put in enough effort to court you?”

“While we’re listing things we don’t understand, allow me. Why are you suddenly so interested in me?”

Charles replied, “That’s why you shouldn’t have thrown away the flowers thought you. I personally wrote letters to you. If you read them, you’d know why I like you.”

Emelia paused for a moment and turned to look at him.

Charles was quite handsome. He had almond–shaped eyes, a tall nose, and an ever–present smile. He sported a tall, and he looked quite dashing in a suit.

Even then, he still gave her a bad impression.

The type of impression belonging to someone who flinted around.

A man like that would be very popular in entertainment establishments like discos and bars, He was handsome and rich, so if someone were to even share his bed for one night, let alone a glass, they would consider themselves quite lucky.

However, the were to try to flirt somewhere else, most, if not all women, would avoid him completely.

He looked like the sort of flirt that toyed with a woman‘

Emelie then said, “There was no letter in the bouquet.”

When she was disposing of the flowers, she had been worried that he had hidden something precious in the bouquet and he would ask her to pay him back if it was valuable. That was why before she threw them away, she gave them a good once–over. That was why she was very sure that there was nothing in them.

“Maybe I forgot to put them inside,” Charles said with a smile. “But I’ll put it into the bouquet tomorrow, so remember to keep it.”

Right there. It was like second nature to this man. Lying was so easy for him

Emelie didn’t respond. He probably had nothing to do, so out of boredom he was trying to spend his time with her. If she refused him too strongly, it might awaken his desire to conquer her that was so common in men e him who were used to having praise heaped on them He wouldn’t let her go if that happened.

If it got too far, she might have to turn to William.

That was why she would rather just put him aside. Once he had been ignored a few times and realised how boring she could be, he would eventually stop.
