My Second Husband novel 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."
