Chapter 1639


    “Do you want to take Kya back to Oakdale City after resigning?” The man asked in a calm tone.


    “I haven’t decided yet.”


    Charlie signed the letter of resignation, and the pen tip paused momentarily on the paper, pressing

    down with force as if he intended to prate the paper.


    He handed the resignation letter towards Emily. There was an indiscernible darkness in handsome


    face, and his gaze was deep and mysterious. “Take care!


    Emily nodded slowly, felt a lump in her throat, “You too, thank you for taking care of me during this


    time.”


    She took the resignation letter, turned and walked out. Her back seemed to bear a heavy burden, but


    she walked steadily, without looking back. Charlie watched her figure disappear behind the door, and in


    that moment, something in his heart vanished along with her.


    In a evening, Charlie had a social engagement and when he left, he was already somewhat drunk.


    It was already eleven o’clock at night. Kent, who was driving, respectfully asked, “Mr. James, are we


    heading back to the old mansion?”


    Charlie gazed at the bustling nighttime scenery outside the car window. The lights reflected in his half-


    drunk eyes, casting an emptiness deep within.


    After a moment, Charlie spoke in a hoarse voice, “Take me to the Royal Mansion,”


    Kent acknowledged and drove in the direction of the Royal Mansion.


    Half an hourter, they arrived. Kent knew that Charlie was in bad mood and had been drinking heavily,


    so he got out of the car to help him, intending to support him.


    “No need!” Charlie pushed away Kent’s hand, his steps still steady. “I can make it on my own.”


    He took the elevator to go upstairs and entered his bedroom. Turning on the light, Charlie stood there


    and his chest ached with emptiness.


    He had once imaged that one day he would bring Emily back here, but in the end, he failed to make it


    happen.


    Walking towards the guest room, he pushed the door ajar. A trace of deep pain flickered in his eyes.


    Inside the room, there was a huge Blythe doll and more than a dozen Lego castles.


    They were all assembled during the years when Emily left.


    Ever since Emily had left, it seemed that he had developed a fondness for constructing these Lego


    castles. Everyte night, he would sit here, slowly piecing together the castles, trying to filled the


    emptiness in his heart.


    As the final castle was assembled, he suddenly understood something.


    Emily’s castle had been shattered, her sense of home had vanished. An determination grew in his


    heart that he wanted to provide her with a castle that could shelter her from the storms of life, to give


    her the sense of belonging she had lost.


    These dozen castles,posed of thousands upon thousands of tiny bricks, were all his yearning for


    her, stacked together and crafted into the home he wished to offer her.


    The castle was nowplete, and he had waited for her return, but she did not love him!


    She did not desire what he had given her!


    Charlie sat on the floor, gazing at the castles, and a wave of pain surged from the depths of his heart,


    enveloping him into an endless darkness. Even his breathing started tobored.


    This must be his punishment from his past actions of treating love as a game and never taking it


    seriously. That’s why today he found himself in the torment of loving deeply but never being loved in


    return.


    Perhaps it was a mistake for the two of them to meet. He was a yboy, ill-suited formitted


    rtionships. And she had only encountered so many troubles because of him.


    Charlie looked at the prince and princess atop the castle, recalling the wedding ceremony Kya had


    once organized for the princess, his heart ached even


    more.


    If the princess didn’t love the prince, the castle would only be a prison, not aforting home.


    With that, he was willing to let go, to stop bothering her


    As long as she found happiness, that was enough!


    Charlie separated the princess from the prince, cing her in a wider space outside the castle.


    His heart felt empty, but with that, it came a sense of resignation.


    Charlie stood up, closed the door, and walked away. He would leave these castles remain here, but


    from now on, he knew he would never return.
