Chapter 1597


    “I’m asking you one more time. Is there a problem you can’t solve?” Charlie’s voice was low and


    steady.


    Emily just shook her head, “No, nothing!


    Charlie’s expression softened, “Emily, have you ever trusted me?”


    She did trust him. In this world, the people she trusted most were her mom, Estelle, and him.


    But now, under his deep and piercing gaze, all she could do was lower her head and reply coolly, “I


    don’t understand what you’re getting at, Mr. James


    “Are you not trusting me?” Charlie finished, a self-mocking smile ying on his lips as he handed her


    the signed documents, “You can go now


    “Yes, sir.” Emily took the documents without lifting her head and turned to leave.


    Charlie watched her retreating figure, rubbing his eyebrows as a shadow fell over his handsome face.


    At dinner that evening. Shawn told Emily he had found a job.


    Emily looked up. “What kind of job?”


    “A friend introduced me. It’s a job as a chef in apany cafeteria. I’m going to give it a try tomorrow


    morning” Shawn grinned. “Thepany is in Wye District, but they provide staff amodation, so I’ll


    be staying there most of the time.”


    Emily frowned slightly. “Which friend? Can we trust him?”


    “Han, we used to work together. He said it’s reliable.” Shawn took a bite of his steak and then looked


    up at Kya with a big grin, “Kya, I’m going to work tomorrow You must listen to Mommy at home”


    Kya enjoyed spending time with Shawn and was a bit reluctant to see him leave. She asked in her


    childish voice, “Grandpa, when will youe back?”


    “When I’ve earned some money” Shawn smiled affectionately. “Then I’lle back and buy you some


    candy”


    Kya pursed her lips and nodded, “Can Mommy and I visit you?”


    Shawn hesitated for a moment before saying with a smile, “My work is far away, and you don’t know


    the way I wille back to visit you.”


    Kya grinned, “Mommy and I will wait for you.”


    “Alright, alright!” Shawnughed and nodded.


    After dinner, Shawn yed with Kya while Emily packed some clothes for him,


    She wasn’t sure about the conditions he would be living under, so she couldn’t help but put 100 dors


    in Shawn’s pocket


    The next moming, Shawn got up early to prepare breakfast. He steamed some egg and ham muffins


    for Emily and made Kya’s favorite chicken soup.


    After breakfast, while Emily was washing dishes in the kitchen, Shawn approached her, his voice filled


    with guilt, “Emily, I haven’t been there for you these years. I don’t have the right to say anything, but it’s


    hard for you to raise Kya alone. If someone suitablees along, consider it. It would lighten your


    burden. Mr. James, for example, seems like a good man.”


    Emily frowned, “When did you meet Charlie?”


    Shawn quickly said, “I didn’t. I haven’t met Mr. James. I’m just suggesting ”


    Emily sighed in relief, “I can handle my own affairs.”


    Just don’t overwork yourself, Shawn said eamestly. “If anything tricky happens, call me I may not be


    much, but I’ll do anything to protect you.” Emily turned away, her voice choked with emotion, so she
