The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 416

Before going out, Charlie was still a little hesitant and reluctant.

He didn't know how to deal with a passionate and bold girl like Loreen. He didn't want to hurt her feelings and more importantly, he didn't want to betray Claire. 4

He was in a complete dilemma right now. 3

He was worried that Loreen would confess to him again during the hot springs getaway and she might make an even bolder move too.

On the other hand, since he had promised his wife, it was impossible to retract his promise, so he could only go ahead with the plan.

As they went downstairs, they saw Loreen poking her head out of a Mercedes-Benz and saying, "Charlie, put the luggage in the trunk and sit in the back. Let Claire sit in the front and chat with me on the way!" 1

"Okay!" Charlie nodded, put the luggage in the trunk, and squeezed into the back seat. 2

When he sat down, Loreen turned and winked at him shyly.

Pretending not to see it, Charlie stretched himself and said, "Oh, I'm so tired. I didn’t sleep well last night, so I'll catch a nap now."

Then, he closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

Loreen was a little disappointed with his reaction and understood why he did so, but she couldn’t say anything since Claire was there.

Moreover, she had expected the cold and indifferent treatment from Charlie, but it didn't matter, since she had already liked him, she buckled herself up and was ready to fight this protracted battle with him. She didn’t feel guilty as well because she knew that Claire and Charlie did not consummate their marriage. 2
