Chapter 239
After putting the bandage back on, Emily said, “All done!”
Sitting on the bed, Charlie saw that she was about to leave and asked, “Where’re you headed?”
Emily replied, “Our teacher assigned some coursework, so I gotta hit the books and do some research.
”
“Bring it over here and do it!” Charlie pointed to the side table. “Otherwise, I’ll have to call you if I need novelbin
anything!”
Emily nodded, “Alright then, as long as
you’re cool with me not disturbing your rest. I’ll go get my books.”
She went back to her room and moved her books and notes into Charlie’s room, sitting on the carpet. S
he then said, “Give me a shout if you need water or get hungry!”
“Sure, just do your thing!” Charlie, who had been bored the past few days, had downloaded an online g
ame and was thoroughly addicted.
One of them sat on the floor with a book while the other leaned against the bed playing games, making
for a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
About half
an hour later, Emily’s phone rang. She instinctively glanced at Charlie but saw that he was not disturbe
d, so she quickly picked up the call.
“Hello?”
Ben was the one calling her. “Whatcha doin‘? There’s a new animated movie out today. Wanna go see i
t together?”
Emily lowered her eyes and politely refused, “Apologies, I’m at work, can’t make it.”
“How about tonight?”
“I have to work overtime tonight.”

“Alright then.” Ben replied, somewhat disappointed. “We’ll plan something when you’re off.”
“Okay, bye.”
Charlie finished a round of his game, looked over and asked, “Was
that the guy who had dinner with you and Estelle the other day?”
“Yeah.” Emily replied, then curiously asked, “How did you know?”
Charlie grinned, “Me and Jonathan were at the West Shore that day too, saw you guys!”
“Ah, I see!” Emily nodded.
As Charlie started another round, he casually asked, “So, he’s into you?”
Emily didn’t respond. Ben had already asked her out three times, so perhaps he was really into her.
Charlie lazily smiled and said, “The guy seems decent, handsome, and
probably has a good family background. If you want to date him, go for it. I’ll give you some time off.”
Emily looked down, writing, and replied calmly, “No need.”
“You don’t like him?” Charlie asked.
Emily shook her head, “I don’t want a relationship.”
She knew very well that whoever she dated, given her family situation, would only drag the other perso
n down.
Hearing this, Charlie turned around and asked, “Why not?”

As he said this, his expression turned to astonishment, “Wait, you’re not into girls, are you? No wonder

Emily helplessly replied, “Don’t talk nonsense, if Mr. Lamont hears you, he’ll get the wrong idea!”
Charlie couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m just messing with ya!”
Emily’s face turned slightly red, she glared at him and went back to her book
The two quieted down again, each doing their own thing.
so nice to Estelle!”
Emily had been reading for about an hour when she remembered something and picked up her phone to check it.
Charlie, immersed in his game, said, “I’m thirsty. Can you get me some water?”
“Sure, coming right up!” Emily immediately complied and went to the kitchen to get him a glass of wate
r.
Charlie finished a round and tossed his phone on the bed. His neck felt very tired after being bent for s
o long, so he got off the bed and went to the balcony for a walk.
As he passed by the side table, he noticed Emily’s phone lying there, with a house rental app open on
the screen.
