Chapter 1571
Emily’s smile instantly froze on her face as she looked at Charlie in surprise. “Your mom met Kya?”
The car was dimly lit, and the bright neon lights outside were reflected in, flickering continuously.
Charlie didn’t notice the unusual expression on Emily’s face and just nodded slightly. “Yeah, I told her
Kya is my friend’s kid.”
Emily breathed a sigh of relief, but remembering what Mrs. James had said before, she felt the rxed
atmosphere waspletely gone. Kya was still talking about the fun things that happened today. Emily
patiently listened and asionally cracked a joke with her. Charlie’s gaze fell on Emily’s side face
through the rear-view mirror. He hadn’t been to Bright Commercial Center these past few days. Partly
because he was really busy and partly because he was feeling a bit off, and he needed to cool down.
Emily didn’t seem to notice his mood swings and didn’t get upset about his cold attitude, which left him
unsure whether to be happy or not. It seemed like he was the only one feeling the torment.
This feeling made him a bit restless and uneasy, as if things were getting out of his control.
He loosened his tie a bit and gripped the steering wheel tighter, his knuckles clear as they repeatedly
clenched on the wheel.
By the time they returned to Bright Commercial Center, it was nearly ten o’clock.
Kya, having napped a lot in the afternoon, was full of energy and dragged Charlie to see her new toy.
“Kya, it’s time for a bath and bed,” Emily said. She knew Charlie had taken care of Kya all day and
must be tired.
Charlie smiled, “I let her nap in the afternoon. I didn’t have the heart to wake her up. You go take a
shower, I’ll stay with her.”
Seeing the two of them having so much fun, Emily could only go get her clothes and take a shower.
The sound of water soon came from the bathroom. Charlie nced over, his mind gradually drifting.
When Emily came out, she was wearing a light blue house dress. Her hair was spread over her

shoulders, and droplets of water still hung on her eyshes. She sat down next to Kya.
Charlie took a phone call and came back, sitting across from Emily. The scent of milk on her made his
gaze even deeper.
Emily looked up. “You should go rest.”
“I’m not in a hurry.” Charlie felt a bit hot. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt
cor.
His movements were slow and rhythmic. He looked incredibly sexy, exuding a hormonal aura. Emily
quickly lowered her head to y blocks with Kya.
Charlie got up and went to the kitchen, brought back two cans of beer, and handed one to Emily. “Want
a sip?”
Emily took it and took a swig. The cold beer with its rich aroma went from her throat to her stomach,
instantly making her feel much more rxed.
Charlie sat on the carpet, leaning against the couch. His voice was even lower after the beer, “I heard
from Tracy that you know Mr. Walton’s son from Horizon Enterprises.”
Erpily wiped the beer off her lips, her eyes candid, “When I was studying in Oakdale City, he was my
ssmate. We met during an internship. didn’t expect he was Mr. Walton’s son from Horizon
Enterprises.”
Wilson had just returned from abroad and took over a bidding project with the James group. It was
during themunication with Horizon Enterprises that she learned that Wilson was the heir to
Horizon Enterprises.
Emily rolled her eyes and looked at Charlie, “We’re just ssmates, nothing more. You don’t need to
worry about me favoring Horizon Enterprises”
Charlie was about to take a sip of his beer, one leg bent. Hearing this, he gave her a nce, his
expression cold, “Do you think I’m the type to be suspicious and narrow-minded?”
Emily awkwardly said, “No, I should have reported this situation to you in advance. It’s my duty.”
“That’s not what I meant Charlie nced at her lightly “Besides normal workmunication, you’d
better stay away from him!”
