Chapter 790 He Was Too Naive
Charles was so gratified to see Charlie being so considerate at such a young age. But, the moment he
thought about Le, he turned depressed all of a sudden.
"Then... What do you feel about Le?" Even though Charles was so reluctant to mention Le, he
could sense that there was an emotional tie between Charlie and her. Besides everything that she had
done, that woman had indeed helped Charles raise Charlie up. If Charlie really wanted to see Le, he
would try to be considerate for Charlie no matter how hard it would be for him.
Looking at Charlie, Charles continued, "I know. After all, she is your foster mother. I just want to... I just
want to be sure of how you feel about her. Do you really... have no feelings for her at all?"
Charlie kept quiet for a while before answering, "Actually I am also not sure. I don''t even have any idea
how to face her..."
Charles then replied, "I believe you have heard about what happened between Le and Sher. I have
to arrange a visit for you."
Charlie was startled upon hearing that. In the end, he nodded and said, "After all, she has taken care of
me for so many years. I think I should see her if this is going to be thest time."
"Alright! I will arrange the visit for you tomorrow morning then," Charles agreed. He, in fact, heaved a
sigh of relief when he heard that Charlie wanted to see Le.
After all, it would be too ruthless of Charlie to say ''No''. Charles knew that Charlie was not at all such a
person.
He reminded Charlie to sleep early, and then he went back to his room and made several phone calls
to arrange the session for Charlie.
The next day, Charlie woke up early, finished his breakfast hastily, and waited for Charles at the sofa
patiently.
Then, as nned, Charles brought him to the police station. On their way there, Charles did not speak
a word. Neither did Charlie. There was an absolute silence throughout this time.
Right at the main gate of the police station, Charles found the person he was looking for. While that
man led Charles and Charlie in straight, he talked to Charles, "By legal methods, she has no liberty to
meet anyone from outside. After all, we are still investigating into this case. Since Mr. Lu asked a favor
from us, we can let you in to meet her. Just that you need to keep it short, otherwise there can be even
trouble for us."

"Thank you for your help. Don''t worry. I acknowledge the rules," Charles replied affirmatively.
Just as they were about to enter the room where Le was, Charlie suddenly stopped and requested to
Charles, "Dad, can you please wait at the door for a while? I want to talk to her alone. If you don''t
mind?"
"How can I even allow this?" Charles frowned. A vicious woman like Le could easily create a nice
story and fool Charlie if he entered the room alone. How could Charles allow this to happen? He did not
want Le to have any chance to get close or to hurt Charlie anymore.
"Don''t worry, Dad," Charlie tried to assure Charles. "I will just have a small chat with her. Rest assured!
I am not a naive kid, Dad. I can differentiate the good from the bad. I don''t trust her at all, no matter
what she says to me."
"But..." Charles was not fully convinced. Though Charlie directly addressed his concerns, he still
couldn''t expel all his worries away.
Neither of them was willing to give in. Seeing them wasting time deciding, the policeman standing aside
asked impatiently, "Have you two decided? If you keep arguing like this, the time will be up soon. You
will not be allowed to get inside then."
"Dad, let me get in by myself," Charlie insisted.
Charles read Charlie''s resolution. Knowing that Charlie would not give up this time, Charles gave in
and cautioned him, "Alright. I will be right at the door. If anything happens, just give me a loud call."
"Okay." Charlie nodded and followed the policeman inside.
Le was waiting in the meeting room for quite a while. She had heard that someone had arranged a
visit for her. At first, she was suspecting that it was someone from Holley or Ferry. Holding the idea that
they didn''t leave her alone, she reignited her hope, which quickly diminished as soon she saw Charlie
entering the room.
Sitting inside with a handcuff over her wrist, she asked with disappointment, "What are you doing
here?"
"I am here to see you. How are you?" Charlie replied as he sat in front of Le. Looking at this woman
who had been his mother for quite some years but had also hurt him quite a lot, strangely he felt that
she was both a dear one and yet a stranger to him at the same time.
"About what all you have done... I have heard it from my father. I think you are..." Le interrupted
Charlie abruptly before he even finished his sentence.
She couldn''t control her emotions and screamed to Charlie in desperation, "Don''t listen to that man!
Charlie, you are my son! I will never hurt you! It was all because of Charles and Sheryl that I have
Looking at Charlie, she calmed down a little bit and softened her voice, "Charlie, listen to me. Now
please talk to your father and ask him to let me go. Trust me! he will definitely listen to you and do
whatever you say. After I get out from here, I will take you to a distant ce where no one else
recognizes us. We will leave from here and live happily thereafter. Okay?"
"Le, are you still living in your fantasies? You have had this hallucination for so many years. When do
you n to wake up?" Charlie replied in a harsh tone. "Wake up now, or else you will lose even more."
"Just shut up!" Le red at Charlie and raged at him. "Open your eyes and look at who I am! I am
your mother. Even if you are ruthless enough to ignore my pain, how can you even add more to it!
Where did you learn that from? Is it from that bloody Sheryl?"
She sneered and then continued, "I knew it. That bitch would not let me go so easily. Charlie, you have
to listen to me. Don''t be fooled by Sheryl. That bitch looks nice from outside, I know, but she is wicked
at heart. She is not going to bother me anymore since I have ended up here, but you are different. You
are the son of Charles, and she likes Charles, so she has to act nice to you, but behind her actions...
anyhow, take care of yourself and be cautious of that woman."
Looking into Charlie''s eyes, she continued with her illusion, "If I get stuck here for the rest of my life,
remember to take revenge for me. Don''t ever forget what she has done to your beloved mother. You
must not just let her get away with it so easily."
Even until then, Le was still trying to attack Sheryl and made enough efforts to ensure to cause her
trouble in future.
Charlie returned Le with yet another frown and jeered at her, "Even until now, you are still indulging
me in your hallucination. Do you really think that I am too young to understand your games? Do you
think I am a fool?"
"What do you even mean by that?" Le suddenly felt humiliated and questioned. She was so agitated
that she tried to stand up, but was stopped by the policeman beside her. "Is it all because of Sheryl?
What did that bitch tell you, huh? Let me her story.
I knew that bitch would do this to you. Charlie, don''t you ever trust that woman. I am your true mother.
Don''t believe her words easily whatever she says to you or how true it seems. She is just trying to fool
you!" Le screeched at Charlie in hopelessness, "She is a vicious person! She does not care for you
at all! Don''t you ever..."
"That''s Enough!" Charlie shouted back. At first, Charlie wanted to see if Le was remorseful for what
she had done. If she apologized for her deeds, he would have probably asked Charles to forgive her
and let her go. All he needed was Le''s apology and the promise that she would never appear in front
of his family again to ruin their life. That was why he even stopped Charles to step in. But, it was all in
vain!
It turned out that he was indeed, too naive as he even thought to give Le a chance to repent. A
person who chose to live in her dream would never be ashamed of her evil deeds, he finally realized.
