Loreen was overjoyed and she said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Charlie!"
Charlie hurriedly said, "Wait a moment. I won't force him to swallow the jade pendant but I'd still have to give him some other form of punishment. Otherwise, I'm afraid that he won't learn his lesson."
Loreen hurriedly asked, "Charlie, what kind of punishment are you going to give him? It won't be anything more serious than swallowing a jade pendant, right?"
"No." Charlie smiled faintly before he said, "You can rest assured that my punishment is a good thing for him."
Loreen finally relaxed as she said affectionately," Charlie, thank you. Thank you for forgiving my brother and letting him off because of me. Then, why don't you give me a chance to repay you then..."
Charlie asked in surprise, "How are you going to repay me?"
Loreen blinked as she smiled and said deliberately, "0 f course, I'll promise to marry you and give birth to a big fat baby boy for you! What do you think of it?" s
Charlie replied in a serious tone, "Don't say anything like this in the future anymore. I'm your best friend’s husband!"
Loreen nodded before she said seriously, "I know that, but both of you are in a fake marriage! It’s not even an actual marriage anyway! In fact, the best solution for the predicament that both of you are in is to give each other freedom!"
Charlie shook his head helplessly before he said, "I'm not going to continue talking about this matter with you anymore. My words will only fall on deaf ears anyway." i
After he was done speaking, Charlie turned around as he walked back towards the crowd of people.
When everyone saw Charlie coming back, they subconsciously stepped aside to make a passageway for him.
