Chapter 316
Nora’s hand trembled as she took hold of the items, her face filled with panic as she looked up at
Charlie. “Chare what… what are you saying?”
It’s over!” Charle ced the bag in her hand, his voice icy. “Tell your friend to delete Emily’s picture, or
else you know the consequences!”
With that, Charlie grabbed the bewildered Emily and walked away with determined steps.
The items in Nora’s hand slipped from her grasp, her heart gripped by panic. She called out Charlie’s
name loudly, but he kept walking without looking back.
Noreen approached, wearing a smug expression. “Now you see, Charlie never truly cared for you. He
was just toying with you!”
Nora’s hand shot up, pping Noreen’s face. “You deliberately brought Emily here, didn’t you? You
wanted to frame me!”
Noreen’s cheek stung from the p, but she deliberately provoked Nora. “Yes, I brought her here on
purpose. Just imagine how much Charlie must like me since he’s so kind to my cousin. There’s no use
getting angry. Charlie has already ended things with you!”
“You wicked woman!” Nora seethed with anger,unching herself at Noreen, attempting to scratch
her face.
Noreen fought back, protecting her face while retaliating against Nora.
The two started fighting, with the usually elegantdies now looking no different from street brawlers.
Others hesitated for a moment beforeing over to break up the fight. The room was suddenly filled
with yells and ps, a chaotic mess.
Half an hourter.
Emily, still wearing her delivery uniform, pushed the shopping cart behind Charlie, her brows furrowed
the whole time.
It was Charlie’s first time at the grocery store, and he couldn’t find the fresh produce section. When he
saw the snack aisle, he loaded the cart with snacks that Emily loved.
Emily’s delivery uniform and Charlie’s custom-made suit made them quite the odd coupling, drawing
the attention of many people along the way.
Picking up a box of choctes, Charlie asked Emily, “Do you like this?”
Emily nced at Charlie, her eyebrows furrowed in concern.
Charlie reached out and gently touched her forehead, asking, “Why do you keep frowning? Is cooking
really that unpleasant for you? Are you unwilling to do it?”
Emily shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. “Charlie, your girlfriend gave me a hard time
because she was jealous of Noreen. Breaking up with her like this makes me feel guilty.”
Charlie smiled reassuringly. “It’s not your fault. I wanted to break up with her anyway. You saw it too; I
even had breakup gifts prepared.”

Emily found it hard to believe. “Why did you want to break up with her?”
“No particr reason,” Charlie replied casually as he ced a chocte bar in the shopping cart. “She
just annoys me. I don’t want to see her anymore.”
Emily’s thought drifted to Noreen, realizing that Charlie had always been a yboy, never maintaining
a rtionship for more than three months. Now she had witnessed it firsthand.
She spoke from the heart, “Charlie, you’ll hurt them like this.”
Charlie snickered, “Hurt what? I made it clear when we were together; it’s just short-term. If they don’t
like it, I won’t force them. Besides, I’ve never treated them badly. Do you think they’re crying for me
because they like me?”
Emily knew what he meant and was amused by him, wondering how someone like Charlie could exist.

Surprisingly, despite knowing that he’s not a good person, some women still strive to be his
girlfriend, believing they will be the exception to his behavior.
Emily paused, reflecting for a moment, and then spoke to Charlie, “Charlie, you’re remarkable. I
imagine some of your past girlfriends must have been attracted to you for reasons beyond material
wealth. If youe across someone like that, treat her kindly. After all, at some point, you’ll have to
consider marriage, won’t you?”
Marriage is traditionally intended to be a lifelongmitment.
