Loreen really wanted to look into the actual relationship between Charlie and Doris.
However, it was impossible to do so due to time constraints. 1
She needed to rush off to Eastcliff and spend time with her family during the New Year. Therefore, after staying for about ten minutes, Loreen turned to both Claire and Charlie and said, "Claire, Charlie, I have to g o now and head over to the airport for my flight. All the flights to Eastcliff are completely booked today. If I miss this flight, I would be spending the New Year here in Aurous Hill." i
Claire replied, "Loreen, do you want us to send you off a t the airport?"
Loreen hurriedly said, "You don't have to trouble yourselves. All of you should just stay here." 2
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to Doris and greeted, "Miss Young, I shall take my leave now."
With a gentle nod, Doris replied, "Have a safe flight! Also, Happy New Year in advance!" 1
"Thank you!" Loreen nodded. After bidding farewell to Claire's parents, only then did she turn to Dylan, who was with a sullen expression on his face, and left together. 3
As they stepped out of the door, Dylan could no longer suppress his depressed emotions. He let out a cry all o f a sudden as he said, "Loreen, this Charlie is just too much! You saw it too, since the moment I walked in through the door, I did not trigger him, nor did I provoke him. I didn't even dare to confront him with any rebuttal at all. I didn't expect him to let Wrigley extend my punishment period by a year! He even told me that I did something and made him unhappy. Why don't you judge this for me! Why is there a person like this!" 1
Loreen let out a sigh as she said, "Dylan, I suspect the reason Charlie dislikes you was because of your lovey-dovey attitude toward Miss Young." 1
Dylan nodded and exclaimed, "To be frank, I too have already guessed it. I could only think of two plausible reasons for this matter: First, he was very unhappy with my behavior of picking up girls in front him. Second, he was unhappy because of my attempt to court Doris. It must be one or the other.” i
Loreen nodded. "I have the same opinion as well. Most probably this had something to do with Miss Young, but I am still a little unsure of the motive behind his action. It is reasonable to say that Charlie shouldn't have any ties with Miss Young at all."
