Chapter 382 You Adopt Them


    Well, Charlie was right.


    He squinted at me, raising an eyebrow. "Why are you crying? What happened?"


    I shook my head. Everything that had happened these past two days had nothing to do with him, so


    I did not bother burdening him with it.


    Fortunately, he did not press for details and merely looked at me to say, "The little mother cat can


    be discharged now, and the surging kitten is fine."


    It suddenly dawned on me, and I remembered the little kitten we had rescued that day. I hesitated


    for a moment and asked him, "Did you take them already?"


    He shook his head, his gaze calm as he replied, "I''ve never had cats before. Besides, wasn''t it you


    who wanted to rescue them? What are you nning to do with them?"


    I was caught off guard by his question. I had never had cats before either, and my mother was a


    little allergic to cat fur, so I could not keep them at home. Moreover, this was Tully City, and taking


    them back to Lake City might be troublesome.


    Hesitating, I looked at him and could not help but call out, "Char..."

    "Pfft…!" He had been unprepared as he was not expecting my move. He had coffee in his mouth,


    and I had sat down across from him, so I was unfortunately caught in the crossfire.


    I took a few steps back, squinting at him. There was a mix ofughter and annoyance in my voice.


    "What are you doing? You sprayed your drink all over me, Charlie Yates. Was that intentional?"


    He reached for some napkins to help clean me up, but I avoided him, snatching the napkins to wipe


    myself. I gave him a disdainful look and said, "Why such an exaggerated reaction? It''s not like no


    one has ever called you that."


    It was just a nickname, but he was acting as if I were taking advantage of him.


    He pursed his lips, tidying up the mess, and returned to his usual cool and gentle demeanor. He


    cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "I''m sorry, it''s just that you suddenly called me that, and I


    wasn''t used to it."


    I sighed, dealing with the coffee stains on my clothes and finally sat down. I looked at him and said,


    "Fine, from now on, I''ll just call you by your name. Saves you from being so surprised."


    I had originally wanted to tease him, but it seemed like he did not respond well to teasing.


    He pursed his lips and his voice sounded somewhat hoarse as he said, "You can call me whatever


    you like."


    I felt like this man was really hard to figure out. We had known each other for so long, and I thought


    I was getting familiar with him, but sometimes he gave me the feeling that we had just met.


    At times, he could be gloomy and ruthless, other times warm and cool, and sometimes distant and


    unfamiliar. He was truly unpredictable, and I could not help but notice his slightly reddened ears.


    I pursed my lips, sighed in resignation, and decided to go with the flow. I leaned my chin on my


    hand and looked at him. "Well, how about you adopt those two little kittens?"


    He paused for a moment, then immediately furrowed his brows and said, "I don''t like cats, so that''s


    a no."


    I shrugged, "You paid for their treatment, so why don''t you like them now? Besides, didn''t you say


    you''ve always been alone, without family or friends? If you adopt them, they''ll be your family, you


    know. Let me tell you, kittens are incredibly healing to the soul. They''re so soft, and if it weren''t for


    my mom''s cat allergy, I would adopt them myself."


    I rambled on, but he remained silent. Seeing this, I continued, "How about this? Let them stay at


    your ce. If you ever get too busy, I can help take care of them when I have free time. This way, it


    won''t take up too much of your time, and you can have some cat therapy once in a while, right?"


    He pursed his lips. He raised his gaze to look at me, and after a while, he calmly said, "Okay then."


    Hearing this, I could not help but smile and say, "Great, that''s settled then. Let''s go and pick them


    up."


    He hesitated for a moment.


    Seeing him like this, I thought he might be having second thoughts. I quickly walked over to his


    side, grabbed his sleeve, and half-dragged him out of the coffee shop.


    We hailed a taxi and headed straight to the pet hospital. However, we ran into someone familiar


    outside the pet hospital, and it was none other than Inch. He was carrying a cage and a lot of cat


    food. When he saw Charlie and me, he was briefly taken aback and said, "Mr. Yates, Ms. Scott,


    what brings you here?"


    Seeing Inch, I immediately realized that Charlie had already arranged for him toe and pick up


    the cats. I nced at Charlie and said, "You already arranged for someone toe. Why didn''t you


    tell me earlier?"


    He looked at me with a calm and indifferent expression, even with a hint of innocence, "You didn''t


    ask."


    I…


    Well, he had a point. I had indeed overlooked that detail.


    After retrieving the cats and returning to the hotel, Charlie took them with him. I went back to my


    room and checked my phone. I saw that today''s trending hashtag was rted to the incident at the


    tourist attraction. It was still the same. There was no concrete evidence regarding Jack''s death, and


    now with the incident at the attraction, Idris had be a target of online attacks.


    Idris had advised me not to look at these things, so I had not checked them until now. Seeing them


    made me feel frustrated, but I also knew that getting angry would not help. Without a clear


    understanding of the situation, any exnations would seem inadequate.


    I noticed a particr article about the hot topics that stood out from the rest. As it was unlike the


    others that were attacking Idris and the Youngs...
