Chapter 1600


    Jonathan said, “I initially wanted to help her settle things with her father, but then I thought it might be


    better if you do it. I figured Emily’s father would eventually


    turn to you.”


    Charlie replied, “But even if the problem is solved, she might not change her mind. She’s stubborn


    enough to make anyone want to scold her.”


    Jonathan poured himself half a ss of whiskey and said in a calm voice, “Emily thinks too much. Just


    give her some time.”


    Charlie looked at him with a deep gaze, “The issues in her family aren’t really a big deal. It’s just that


    she never trusted me from the start.”


    Jonathan slowly swirled the whiskey in his ss, “She worries too much probably because she cares.


    She is afraid of causing you trouble, and afraid of things not turning out well in the end.”


    Charlie smirked, “She doesn’t know that those words she said are what truly hurt me


    Jonathan said, “Emily’s upbringing has shaped the way she thinks and makes decisions. If you love


    her, you need to ept everything about her


    Charlie’s eyes deepened, revealing a hint of helplessness.


    Jonathan clinked his ss with his, smiled faintly and said, “Emily’s distrust towards you has its


    reasons. You reaped what you sowed.”


    He looked at Kya in Charlie’s arms and smiled meaningfully, “Think of it as going through trials. As long


    as Kya likes you, you and Emily will eventually be together” Charlie frowned, his tone low, “But I feel


    uneasy. I have a bad feeling.”


    Jonathan thought for a moment and asked, “If Emily marry you, would your mother ept her?”


    Charlie looked up. “My mom might be a bit more controlling than yours. But as long as I insist, she


    won’t be too domineering.”


    “What’s there to worry about then?” Jonathan took a sip of his whiskey and smiled, “You just need to


    break through Emily’s wall.”


    Charlie raised an eyebrow, feeling that breaking through Emily’s wall would be the most challenging


    part.


    When Magdalen was chatting gwith Estelle, she received a call from Kevin.

    Kevin’s voice was clear, “Magdalen, where are you? Let’s watch Ryan’s game tonight. I’ve prepared


    your favorite crawfish and fresh beer.” Magdalen said, “I don’t have time tonight. I’m with E and the


    others.


    “Where are you?”


    “9th Mansion!”


    “Then I’lle to you. There’s still three hours before the game. If you drink, I’ll drive you home.”


    Magdalen readily agreed, “Okay,e over!”


    Estelle watched as Magdalen hung up and asked, “Who was that?”


    “Kevin. He’sing over to hang out with us. He invited me to his ce to watch the game tonight,”


    Magdalen chuckled.


    Estelle gave her a light look, “You’re not going. And you’re not drinking tonight. I’ll take you hometer”


    “Why?” Magdalen slung an arm around Estelle’s shoulder,ughing nonchntly, “I know my limits.


    Kevin and I just sharemon interests. I don’t have any


    intentions towards a kid!”


    Estelle shot her a nce, “You may not have intentions, but what about him?”


    “Him?” Magdalenughed, “Even less likely. I’m four years older than him!”


    Estelle didn’t argue with her further. Anyway, she was determined to take her back to Morrison’s ce


    tonight.


    About half an hourter, Magdalen answered a call and walked out.


    Kevin was waiting for her outside. Seeing here out, he shed a charming smile, I don’t know any


    of your friends, so I won’t go in. Let’s go to my ce and wait for the game


    “They’re all my friends Even E is there. Let’s go in and say hi Magdalen pulled him towards the


    private room, “Why are you being shy all of a sudden?”


    Tm not being shy There’s nothing to talk about with friends I don’t know I just want to watch the game


    with you,” Kevinughed cheerfully
