Evelyn was worried about traffic in the aftemoon and decided to take the subway
When she got out of the subway station, she immediately spotted a Rolls Royce Ghost parked at the entrance of the building
That was Charles‘ car
The car door opened, and Charles stepped out first. He walked to the back seat, bent down, and gently lifted Sandy from her child seat
The little girl wrapped her arms around Charles‘ neck, smiling sweetly at him. “Thank you, Daddy. I love you the
Standing beside the father and daughter, Dahlia posed gracefully, feigning jealousy. “You love daddy the most. What about me

The smile on Dahlia’s face deepened, and her gaze towards her daughter became even more tender. She didn’t miss this chance and moved closer Charles was holding Sandy, so this brought Dahlia very close to him. So close, she could feed his breath on her face.

Hearing this, Charles followed Dahlia’s gaze. He also saw what Evelyn was holding, and his brows furrowed. “Evelyn, what are you doing here? Where’s Charlie?? Evelyn ignored him, continuing on her way inside X
Charles didn’t see
