My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 993

Cindy was at a complete loss of words.

It seemed that there had never been a man who had praised her like that.

For as long as she could remember, Charlie had always been a taciturn person. When they were

training together during their childhood, he was the kind of person who would not show any

expressions no matter how hard the training was or how tired he felt.

Later on, he became the leader of the team. He had always been fair and solemn, even towards his

own teammates.

He treated everyone the same way, including Cindy.

She remembered a story of when they had participated in a training camp when they were both young.

That time, they had been dropped off in a dense forest, instructed to overcome all difficulties to come

out of the forest by themselves.

Everyone was still young at that time, especially her. She had participated in the training not long after

she came out of the orphanage.

Looking at the harsh and challenging environment in the forest, she was frightened.

She wanted to ask for help, but she didn't know anyone. Besides, children who were training in that

kind of environment would only care about their own achievements and honor, so why would they even

care about someone else?

As a result, she dawdled through the woods. It rained heavily that night.

She cowered in fear and cried as it began to thunder.

That had probably been the most horrifying experience in her whole life. Nonetheless, it might have

also been the happiest moment for her.

After crying for gods- know- how- long, a person walked over slowly to her.

Then, a warm coat had been wrapped around her body.

The person had been the young Charlie, resolute and fearless despite his age.

"Stand up! We don't need cowards here."

She had no idea what was going on, but she stood up.

Next, Charlie had only uttered two words before he started walking, "Follow me."

Hence, the two of them had walked out of the forest together.

It was because of her that his performance had dropped to the bottom of the list. It was his first time

getting the lowest score!

However, he had remained impassive about it.

After the results were announced, Cindy saw him sitting alone morosely in a corner for a long time that

night.

She stood silently behind a wall, accompanying him for the whole night.

Since then, she began to train harder. Her results had gotten better, and the disappointing performance

from that night had never happened again.

However, she had never trained or worked with Charlie ever since.

Charlie left the training team shortly after due to his excellent grades. He officially worked for Amos,

and Amos had high hopes for him.

Everyone was envious of him, but she felt happy for him.

After a period of time, Amos wanted to select a person to take care of his wife, Eudora. He wanted

someone who was good at doing the laundry, could cook delicious food, and was willing to work as a

housemaid.

Most of the female trainees were not willing to do it back then. After all, they were quite conceited.

They believed that working as a housemaid was a lowly job, as it didn't require much professional

skills. They had all been carefully selected and trained since they were young.

The goal of all of their training was to be able to help Amos complete important tasks in the future.

Cindy was the only one who had immediately accepted the job as a housemaid after she was told that

she could meet Charlie more often.

Therefore, she had been staying and working in Clearwater Bay for more than a decade.

She thought that maybe Charlie disliked her because she was just a housemaid. However, she had

never regretted liking him. Even if she could turn back the clock, she would still make the same

decision.

After the long flashback, Cindy sighed, looked up and smiled at the man who was in front of her.

"Thank you!"

Ivan replied, "I'm just stating the truth."

Then, they looked at each other and chuckled.

Charlie was anxious. He walked over to them quickly.

He called out, "Cindy!"

Cindy was surprised upon hearing his voice. She looked at the man who was rushing towards her.

Although he was running, he didn't even look tired, nor was he panting at all. He was indeed a man

who had gone through professional and proper training.

He stood in front of her, his eyes full of hope.

"Cindy, you liar!"

Cindy was perplexed as Charlie's words dashed the glimmer of hope in her heart.

She took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice.

Then, she asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong? Haven't I made it very clear, Mr. Feld?"

Mr. Feld?

Charlie's brows furrowed slightly. He thought to himself, "It's only been one night, yet she now acts so

distant towards me?"

Ivan, who was behind them, had no idea who Charlie was. Secret bodyguards like him seldom showed

up in public.

Looking at Charlie's stern expression, he thought that Cindy was in danger. Although he wasn't close to

Cindy, he had been sent by Amos to carry out a task after all. Furthermore, it was his duty as a man to

protect women.

He immediately stood in front of Cindy, asking, "Sir, is there a problem here?"

Charlie glared at him and said, "Get out of the way."

Ivan scowled, "Sir, isn't it a bit disrespectful to talk to me like that? I..."

"Get out of the way!" Charlie became even more fierce, his fists clenched. Upon seeing his reaction,

Ivan was frightened. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Cindy was afraid to cause trouble, so she pulled Ivan back.

"If you have anything to say, just say it to me. It's none of his business."

In Charlie's eyes, Cindy seemed to be protecting the man, which made him feel even more

despondent.

"Do you really like him that much?"

Cindy was flummoxed for a while before she realized that Charlie had misunderstood them.

It wasn't that she didn't feel the slightest bit of joy. At the very least, Charlie's expression looked sad,

which showed that he cared for her. However, after countless times of heartbreak and disappointment,

she no longer wanted to harbor any false hope that Charlie cared for her.

"It's my own business. If you'll excuse us, we have to board the plane soon!"

After saying that, Cindy turned around and went to pick up her suitcase.

A pair of big hands grabbed her arms from behind.

"Then, tell me, what's this?"

Cindy turned back and saw the ring on Charlie's finger.

She said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted rashly, but I didn't engrave my name on the other ring. I can

explain the situation to the shop. I won't disturb you so you'll still be able to order a new set with your

future wife."

When it came to the word 'wife', she paused for a moment, feeling a twinge of sadness in her heart.

She had already told herself not to be sad over the matter anymore, but in the end, she still couldn't

control her emotions.

Charlie gritted his teeth, "How dare you say that it won't affect me? Can we really forget about

everything that has happened in the past just like that?"

Cindy tried her best to talk coldly.

"Tell me then, what should I do? Why don't you pass it to me, and I'll settle..."

"How are you going to settle this? Replace my name with that man's name?"

He pointed his finger at Ivan, who then shivered in fear. What an awkward situation!

If he had known that the task would be so difficult, he would rather be sent to a deserted place!

Cindy was also irritated. She had no idea what Charlie was meaning to do!

"What else do you want me to do? I'm not allowed to fall in love with you, so now I'm just trying to

forget about you! Yes, I admit that I was out of my mind to order this ring. I'm totally shameless, it's all

my fault, okay? Perhaps I should just die, so that no one in this world will bring you any more trouble!

You can fall in love with anyone you want by then! How does that sound?"
