For a family with a net worth of hundreds of billions o f dollars like the Golding family, they certainly could buy half of the entertainment industry if they wanted t o. 4
Charlie sighed and said, "Okay, princess, hurry up and sit on the sofa, I'll check your pulse." 3
Quinn stared at him in astonishment and asked, "You do know how to treat people, don't you?"
Charlie retorted, "Of course! Did you think I was bluffing?"
Quinn pouted. "I thought you were trying to sneak into my room in the middle of the night to take advantage o f me under the false pretense of giving me medical treatment..." 9
"I..." Charlie rolled his eyes in disbelief, feeling as though he almost wanted to cough up blood out of utter shock. "Mind you, I'm not that cheap!"
Quinn gave him a blank stare and said, "Let me tell you, don't you dare assume I'm the kind of woman who flirts around! Until now, I’ve never even held another boy’s hand besides yours! Moreover, even if you were not married now and wanted to fulfill your promise of marrying me, I may not agree! There has to be at least a probation period for you, and you can't ask for my hand until you've passed your probation! I
would never consider marrying you if you turned out t o be a big douche after all these years!" 9
Charlie shot back, "If that's the case, why do you keep saying it so bluntly? First with the fiancee, then get married for the second time, then being a stepmother and whatnot."
Quinn said in a huff, "Do you know what it means to book in advance? For example, you are a driver, and I've already booked you, thus, you have to wait for me like a good boy and never take another order. But then again, even though I've booked you, I don't necessarily have to ride in your car! I can always get another ride i f I'm not satisfied with your service!” s
Charlie sighed dejectedly. "Okay, fine. I don't want to talk about this anymore, I can't win in this battle anyway. Didn't you say that you don’t feel well in the stomach? Come, let me check. I need to hurry home after this-your sister-in-law is waiting for me to go home and sleep.” 9
Quinn wrinkled her nose and asked, "Charlie Wade, you're pissing me off on purpose, aren't you?"
"No, I'm not," Charlie said. "I'm here to give your body a checkup and that's all!"
