Chapter 1563
“Ms. Waters!” Charlie greeted, putting on his usual handsome and calm facade. He then turned to Mrs.
James, “What’s up?”
“Didn’t see you all morning, thought you might want toe over and sit.” Mrs, James gestured to a
chair next to Waters. Please, have a seat. You’re so tall you’re blocking our sunlight.”
Watersughed gently, 7 guess I’m your sunshade then”
Mrs. James giggled, “Being tall has its perks!”
Charlie chose to ignore their yful banter, pulling out a chair to sit next to Mrs. James. He nced at
some kids nearby and suddenly felt a pang of homesickness
Waters frequently visited Mrs. James’ beauty spa. They’ve be pretty tight, especially after Waters
had made a point to win Mrs. James over. Mrs. James could see Waters’s efforts, and she was keen on
setting her up with Charlie.
Waters opened her bag, took out a ck velvet box, and ced it in front of Charlie. She smiled faintly,
“Mrs. James mentioned your tie and knot today didn’t quite match, so we specially picked one out for
you. Give it a try!”
Charlie nced at the box with some big brand’s logo on it, I’m not the star of the show today. No need
to be so extra.”
“Waters went to two stores just for this. At least open it and see.” Mrs. James gave Charlie a look,
hinting at him not to embarrass Waters. Charlie pretended not to notice. He still wore that faint smile,
but his eyes turned a bit cold. “Mom, did you call me over for this?”
“You’re always not hometely. Can’t even chat with me now?” Mrs. James said with dissatisfaction.
Try this tie clip. Don’t make Waters’ effort go to
“Ms. Waters, thank you for your kindness, but I’m not a fan of this brand. Doesn’t yourpany want to
bid for the new project of the James family? It would be better if you put more effort into preparing for
the bid” After saying this, Charlie stood up, “Mom, I have friends over there, I’ll go first.”
“Charlie” Mrs. James called out with a frown.
But Charlie didn’t look back and left directly
Waters dropped her head in disappointment, “Ma’am, does Mr. James think I have ulterior motives for

him, so I’m deliberately trying to please him?”
Sheughed at herself, “Does he look down on me that much? Even if I wanted to please him, it
wouldn’t be with this little thing that’s only a few thousand dors”
Mrs. James actually liked Waters very much, but felt a bit guilty seeing her own son treating her this
way. “That’s just how he is, seems easy-going but is actually quite stubborn. Don’t mind him, as long as
I know
Waters raised her head and smiled softly, “Ma’am, I’m not afraid of youughing at me. I do like Mr.
James very much. Not because of his family background or looks, but his style and the way he carries
himself. So you don’t need to apologize for him. I like his character”
Seeing Waters being so forthright, Mrs. James smiled even more, I do like your straightforward
character”
Watersughed. “Or else how could we hit it off so well? Right?”
“Absolutely!” Mrs. James held her hand tightly. “The sun is too strong. Let’s go inside and chat”
“Great” Watersughed happily. She took Mrs. James’ hand and walked towards the house with her.
When they returned to the banquet hall, someone greeted Waters, “Waters, what are you doing here?
Are you close with Miss Jordan?”
“No” Waters smiled faintly. “When did you get back?”
Tve been back for a week. I n to call you this weekend. I didn’t expect to run into you here”
Mrs. James added, “Waters, is this your friend? You guys chat, I’ll go talk to Josiah’s mom,”
“Sure” Waters responded immediately. Tle find youter”
Mrs. James nodded slightly and walked away.
Waters’s friend looked at Mrs. James’ retreating figure and asked, “Who’s she?
Waters raised an eyebrow with a confident expression on her face, “That’s my future mother inw”
