Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1349

Charlie sprawled out on the couch, all cool and chill, grinning, "I'm here for the wedding, not some corporate meeting. Why'd you invite him?"

The department manager was sweating buckets, scrambling with an explanation: "Mr. Sample was supposed to come too."

Charlie just nodded, about to text Emily on his phone, when suddenly the sound of children playing outside caught his attention.

Outside the banquet hall, there was a small lawn full of balloons for the newlyweds' photo shoot. Right now, it was overrun with kids of the wedding guests having a ball.

Charlie glanced over, his eyes suddenly stopping at one spot.

Beside a big heart-shaped balloon arch, Emily was kneeling on the ground, facing Kya in a white princess dress, who handed her an uninflated balloon.

Emily took the balloon, put it on her lips, and started puffing her cheeks to blow it up.

The sun shone on Emily's soft hair and warm face, reflecting a soft glow.

Kya clapped for Emily, who was puffing her cheeks to inflate the balloon. When the balloon was about the size of her face, she tried to remove it from her mouth but didn't hold it well, and the balloon popped out and flew away.

Emily and Kya both reached out to catch the balloon, tumbling over each other and laughing heartily.

Seeing this scene, Charlie's face softened, a smile creeping onto his lips.

The department manager looked at Charlie's smile and was a bit shocked. He followed Charlie's gaze to see the kids playing on the lawn, but he didn't know who made this usually stern CEO smile.

Charlie got up and walked towards the French windows, Emily's laughter becoming more distinct in his sight.

He stared deeply at Emily, remembering how she used to always have a smile on her face, even when life was tough.
