Charlie had a calm expression on his face as he faced Loreen’s sudden confession. He merely replied, "We just happened to meet a few scumbags, and that is why I decided to teach them a lesson. Don’t take it to heart."
Doreen replied seriously, "No matter what it is, I would really like to thank you!"
After that, Doreen sat down beside Charlie and quickly stretched out her hands as she hugged him in her arms.
Both of them were wearing very little clothes, and Charlie could instantly feel Doreen's smooth and tender skin rubbing against him.
Charlie’s body tightened immediately and he quickly said, "Doreen, don’t do this. I don’t want Claire to see u s acting like this." 6
Doreen chuckled before she asked, "Does that mean I can hug you and do whatever I want if Claire cannot see us?" 6
"That's not what I mean..." Charlie replied helplessly.
Doreen hugged him a little tighter before she said stubbornly, “I want to hug you, and it would be best if Claire could see us acting like this now. After that, both of you can file for a divorce so that you can finally be with me instead!” 5
At this time, Charlie had a righteous expression on his face as he said, "How can you say something like that? You are Claire's best friend!” 7
Loreen replied seriously, "I know that you and Claire did not get married for love! Claire only married you because her grandfather insisted on doing things his way. That was the only reason she agreed to marry you. I also know that both of you do not have a substantial relationship and have not even consummated your marriage, so how could you possibly call yourselves husband and wife?" 4
As she spoke about this, Loreen suddenly became very emotional. “Since both of you have no feelings for each other and since your marriage is just all for show, why don't both of you just let each other go and set yourselves free? Seize the opportunity to get a divorce so that you can find your one true love instead! Isn't that better for everyone else? The both of you will not be wasting each other's time, then!" 4
Charlie waved his hand before he said, "You do not understand my feelings for Claire at all." 3
Loreen asked, "Then, do you understand my feelings for you?"
Charlie nodded before he replied seriously, "I understand how you feel about me, but I am afraid that I cannot accept your feelings for me. I’m sorry."
