Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1270

Charlie popped a slice of steak into his mouth and chewed slowly with apparent difficulty swallowing. He frowned, "Why is the food here so bad?"

"Is it really that bad? Wasn't it you who wanted to come here?" Waters forked off a piece of her own steak and tasted it, then said, "I think it's pretty good!"

Charlie put down his knife and fork with a puzzled look, took a sip of water and looked up, "What did you just say?"

Waters smiled warmly, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Come to my place tonight."

Charlie looked at her calmly, "Sleeping with someone you don't love is like eating a steak that doesn't suit your taste. Dry and hard to swallow."

Waters' face changed, "Charlie, what do you mean?"

"It's not that you're not good, it's just that I really don't like you, Waters. Stop coming after me," Charlie said seriously, "You've wasted two years on me, it's time to stop."

Waters looked at Charlie with tears welling up in her eyes, "You know I've been chasing you for two years. A woman's youth is limited, don’t you think I have other options?"

"Of course, you do. The line of men chasing you could stretch from your doorstep to your office, so you really don't need to waste your time on me."

"But I like you and I'm willing to pursue you." Waters' tears started to fall, she quickly wiped them away, trying to maintain her grace, "You've had so many girlfriends before, why can't I be one of them? Even if it's just a three-month relationship like your previous ones, I can accept it. I just want closure for my love."

She stood up and walked over to Charlie, unhesitatingly took off her coat and put Charlie's hand on her, "Am I not beautiful? Is my figure not good?"

Charlie pulled his hand away. The woman in front of him was indeed beautiful, the type he used to like. But now, there was no spark in his eyes, even a hint of annoyance, "I'm sorry, I'm just not interested."

Waters looked at him in disbelief, "Then why did you date me and give me hope?"

"I thought I could,"
