Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1140 Extra Story 30 Of Charlie Confession

"Yes," Charlie simply answered.

Elsa wasn't paying attention to what Rita was saying. She was in her own world, trying hard to figure something out. 'Evelyn Long... Charlie Long... The names ring a bell...'

"Charlie! Charlie!" Someone joyfully called, pulling Elsa out of her reverie. It was Evelyn. While her personality was totally domineering at school, she was acting totally right now. Because it was a very formal occasion, she was dressed up nicely and elegantly, which would lead one to think that she would be acting gentler that night. However, they were immediately proven wrong when she dashed towards Charlie like it wasn't anyone's business. Right. So although she was all dressed up as nicely as one could be dressed, she still ran to Charlie like a kid running for the ice cream truck.

"Hmm?" Evelyn didn't expect to see Elsa here. "Hi, my in-law to be!" The moment she blurted those words out, Rita and Ann were like struck by a thunder. Of course, being a carefree girl, Evelyn didn't notice the sudden change of facial expression on their faces. After greeting Elsa, she turned to Charlie. "Brother Addison will be here tonight as well. He gave me a call just now and said that we could go back together after this."

"Okay," Charlie replied. Then he turned to look at Elsa again, whose lips were visibly twitching.

Elsa stared at Charlie and Evelyn. In her heart, she was feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what exactly that was. Lowering her head, she thought to herself, 'What's wrong?'

"Elsa." Ann suddenly pulled on Elsa's arms very hard. Quickly, Elsa turned to her and the girl was signaling for her to look at Charlie's direction. Earnestly whispering, Ann asked, "Evelyn is Charlie's sister? Do I... Do I understand this correctly?" Even though her volume was low, Rita heard everything clearly.

Was this a joke?

Evelyn was Charlie's sister? They looked completely different! One was bright and smart while the other seemed so mediocre and downright silly. Evelyn didn't do well in academics, which caused her to enter the faculty of music. Even so, she still couldn't do well in her courses. How could such a person be Charlie's sister? How could the same pair of parents give birth to two vastly different creatures? Rita's brain was about to blow.

At that moment, an old servant came to them and said to Rita, "Miss Rita, your father is looking for you. The Shen family is here. He wants you there."

Rita glimpsed at Elsa then Charlie before she left. The absence of the common enemy made the air very awkward.

"Well..." Elsa felt uneasy under Charlie's burning gaze. She pulled Ann and excused herself, "Charlie, please excuse us."

Then she fled with Ann. A moment later, she disappeared. Charlie's lips curled into a joyful grin. The most important thing in the ceremony for Evelyn was undoubtedly the food. She had been longing to taste the food prepared by the famous French chef, so she had come here quite early with Charlie. Charlie didn't expect Elsa to be here. When he took a look at the guest list, he found out that Elsa's father was one of the outstanding staff working in the subsidiary company of Gu's Corporations in M City. During the ceremony, all the outstanding staff would receive awards and acknowledgement.

After he and Evelyn arrived at the venue, the two of them went straight to the food serving section in the hall, due to Evelyn's insistence. But unexpectedly, he saw Rita purposefully embarrassing Elsa. However, the Little Bun... She seemed to have no idea how to handle the situation! That was why Charlie decided to join the conversation. He just wanted to help Elsa.

After everything settled down, he took a plate and helped Evelyn fill the plate with a variety of food. Soon, the desserts piled up on the plate. But when he turned around, he couldn't see Evelyn.

Confused and surprised, he started looking around to search for her. A moment later, his eyes fell on the bartender's table.

Evelyn seemed so enraged, fiercely arguing with a man above 5'9" in height. He was wearing a pair of frameless spectacles, and a tailored sapphire blue suit.

Charlie let out a sigh and walked to them. Before he reached the two of them, he saw Evelyn angrily stomping on the man's foot using the heel of her stilettos.

"Aw!" the man cried out loud. Then he clenched his teeth and confronted her, "Evelyn, are you even a woman?"

"I'm sorry," Evelyn replied, smiling smugly, "I am not a woman. I am just a girl."

The man's facial muscles twisted in pain, but he didn't intend to turn the small quarrel into a fight. Taking a deep breath, he said in a controlled tone, "A decent male doesn't bully females."

"You are a decent man? What? Are you kidding?" Evelyn wore a scornful look. "You are a shameless lawyer who only works for money. You stand on the side of the rich but not justice! You have no moral values, whatsoever!"

"You..." The man wanted to argue back when he saw Charlie approaching. "Charlie, take a look at your younger sister. Is this the result of you doting on her?"

Charlie gave the man an evil smile. Reaching his hand out to his sister, he said, "Yeah. She's like that." Evelyn was on his side now, munching on food. In a helpless tone, he continued, "So, I guess I have to make sure she finds a husband who would continue to dote on her. Or else, I will take care of her for the entirety of her life. I'm okay with that, though."

Evelyn sneered at the man. Then she beamed at her elder brother. "If I were to marry," Evelyn said, her face now angelic, "I would find someone like Charlie." And with that, she winked at Charlie, glared at the man, and walked away.

Charlie asked for a glass of wine from the bartender. After getting his drink, he made a gesture that suggested he wanted a toast from the man. "You like Evelyn. Why did you irritate her intentionally?" asked Charlie.

"I learned that from you!" the man replied, now beaming boyishly. "You like Elsa, right? You've been messing with her since you two were in kindergarten! I can't compare with you in terms of that."

Charlie put on a big grin. Casually, he leaned towards the counter, his eyes falling on Ann and Little Bun, who were happily savoring the food they got. Gradually, his eyes turned wistful as he remembered something. Slowly, he uttered, "Evelyn and Elsa are so different. Brother Addison and I have been doting on Evelyn since she was a little girl. Even though she was born in a wealthy and powerful family, she hasn't really learned how to behave like a woman in this social class. She is just a free girl, doing whatever she likes to do but not what is proper." Then he turned to the man beside him. "Are you sure that you have the determination to protect her and dote on her regardless of what other people say?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
