Meanwhile, Charlie, a confident and determined young man, stood up with a resolute expression on his face, positioning himself opposite his father. The tension in the air was palpable as Charlie prepared to confront this delicate situation head-on, his voice steady and unwavering. It was clear that he was ready to challenge his father's decision, unafraid to voice his opinions and opinions about Fiona's qualifications, despite the lingering familial dynamic."That's why she has to get married to the man in our business line," Mr. Thompson declared firmly, his voice tinged with a sense of determination and conviction.

I thought you would be sleeping over," she asked, her words tinged with a hint of disappointment. In response, Charlie let out a dry chuckle, his amusement laced with a touch of bitterness. "Not with that man," he confessed, his tone unsparing. The thought of sharing the same roof as someone who had caused him discomfort was enough to deter him from staying. Determined to seek solace elsewhere, he firmly added, "I am not going to get a good sleep being under the same roof with him. I would rather go to my house."As Charlie made his intention to leave clear, Fiona stepped forward, obstructing his path. Concern etched across her face, she silently implored him to reconsider.Fiona's plea for Charlie to stay a little longer lingered in the air.

"I understand, dear," she replied gently, her voice carrying a mix of understanding and concern. "But you know your father's expectations. He was always a man of his word. If you don't remarry, you might not be considered the rightful heir. You've worked tirelessly to shake off that label, my dear, and I worry about the challenges you might face ahead." Her voice conveyed both her love for him and the weight of her concerns."I don't know what to do with your husband," he spat out, his anger evident through the phone line. "You always had a knack for choosing strong-willed men, didn't you?
The Unexpected Heir Her Charm and Affection
Chapter Twenty one"Sorry, where did they pick you up?" Charlie inquired, his curiosity shining through. However, realizing that his manners may have faltered, he quickly apologized, realizing the potential offense his question might have caused."I mean, this is not how a date should go," he blurted out, a tinge of frustration coloring his words. "You can't expect me to comply with your requests right from the start. You don't know me, and you are being too forward." The words slipped out before he could think twice, a hint of defiance and vulnerability blending in his voice.However, the lady remained unfazed by his outburst, her composure unshaken."That's because I know everything about you already," the lady revealed, her voice brimming with a surprising familiarity.

He gazed at his sister, their cups clinking together once again, the sound reverberating in the air.His sister's question pierced through the jovial atmosphere. "Little brother, did you ever find out why your ex-wife divorced you? You never really told me, and it seemed so sudden," she inquired, her concern evident in her eyes. Charlie's hand instinctively went to his chest, as if trying to ease the pain.A wave of sadness washed over him as he pondered the question. "My heart aches, truly. I loved her deeply, and my heart would flutter each time I was near her. I never anticipated that one day she would wake up and simply want to end our marriage. It all stemmed from her belief that I wasn't worthy of her status," his words trembled with a mix of hurt and regret. His sister couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him.She offered him another cup of alcohol, her gestu
The Unexpected Heir A Viable Solution
Chapter Twenty three"I will die this," she said, her voice laced with a stern warning. "But if you both misbehave again, I will report this to your dad. I heard you both didn't tag along with your date, claiming you are out of their league and didn't bother to get to know them better."Charlie's mind reeled with disbelief at his mother's words. He struggled to comprehend the level of lies and exaggeration she was spewing. While they may have made light-hearted jokes or playful banter during the date, they never mentioned being out of anyone's league. It was all in good fun.Yet, despite the distorted reality his mother was presenting, Charlie knew there was no use arguing or correcting her. It seemed that no matter what they said or did, she was determined to maintain her version of events."Mum, can you just please stop with the whole dating stuff for now?" he pleaded, his voice tinged with vulnerability. "My divorce is still fresh, and it's still hurting. I'm not finding any girl a

As the night commenced, they exchanged names and engaged in some fleeting moments of intense eye contact.

The lady smiled graciously before responding in a classic, poised manner."I am the director in my dad's company," she explained, her words laced with a gentle confidence. "I am nice, but when it comes to business, I have to be strict."

The Unexpected Heir Embrace
Chapter twenty fiveAs he bid farewell to the person he had just confronted, he turned to catch sight of his lady waiting for him. Realizing he had kept her waiting, he apologized sincerely for his delay. Curiosity tinged her voice as she inquired, "Who was that person? Was she your ex-wife?"Shaking his head in denial, he responded, "No, that's Fiona, my sister and the eldest daughter of our family."She tried to mask her discomfort with a forced smile and remarked, "Ah, I see. It seemed like she was casting a skeptical gaze my way, perhaps thinking I intended to snatch her little brother away." A smile played on Charlie's lips in response."Don't worry about that," he reassured her, his voice calm and soothing. "Fiona may come across as protective, but she's actually a very kind and caring person. As long as you are faithful and genuine, you'll get along just fine.

You think it's that easy?"Alice's words were a soft counterpoint, a gentle attempt to soothe Judas's hurt. "Sometimes, we have to let go of the pain, Judas. We can't keep living in the past.
