Due to her condition, Karen Daly woke up relatively late these days. It was around ten o'clock in the morning when she arrived at the studio recently.
Seeing her arrival, Faye Reed quickly poured her a glass of plain water. Faye tried to say something but didn't in the end.
"Faye, what are you going to say?" They had been friends for years, Karen could easily tell that Faye had something to tell her.
Faye thought about it again. Even if she didn't tell Karen about it, she eventually would know it since it's such a piece of big news. It would be better for her to tell Karen, as a reminder.
She helped Karen sit down and said slowly, "Karen, how do you feel about Charlie now?"
"Why did you suddenly bring that up?" Karen asked.
Honestly, all her thoughts were focused on Kevin Kyle and the child throughout this period of time. She hadn't thought about those things and people in the past for a long time.
As for Charlie, she did not want to hear any news about this person at all. The Gook family had fallen, and she was not interested to know what would happen to him at all.
Faye paid attention to Karen's expression. Seeing that Karen's expression was still calm, she added, "He was dead a week ago, he was killed by Kristine."
Karen: "..."
Although Karen had no feelings for Charlie, when she suddenly heard such news, a complicated feeling was surging in her heart.
She still remembered that Charlie was so charming and attractive many years ago. He was the man that many ladies from a wealthy family was chasing after.
He once said to her, "Karen, it is the happiest and luckiest thing in my life that I can have you as my fiancee."
He once promised her with much confidence, "Karen, you don't have to work and study too hard. When you graduate, I'll marry you. I have plenty of money to support you. I will make you the happiest woman in the world."
He once said to her, "Karen, it was that one time I couldn't control myself with Kristine. The love of my life is always you."
Once upon a time, they used to share so many memories.
She knew him since she was a kid.
When she first met him, he was only ten years old. He was childish but always liked to pretend to be an adult.
That day, the rain was pouring.
Little Karen Daly and little Kristine Daly went home after school. The school bus could not enter their residential area, so they would walk a long way after getting off the bus.
"Kristine, do you like our new school?" A young Karen looked up at Kristine, who was holding her hand and blinked her big bright eyes.
"The environment of the new school is much better than our previous school, of course, I like it." Kristine rubbed Karen's head. "Do you like it, Karen?"
"I don't like it." Karen pouted her tiny mouth and shook her head. "I miss my old friends. They won't laugh at you, nor will they laugh at me."
"But we have moved here, so we must like it," Kristine said.
