But he hadn\u2019t gone more than a few meters before he couldn\u2019t resist glancing back, eager to see their reactions. As expected, Christopher took a few hesitant steps toward the car, almost reluctant to leave. Charlotte, however, was decisive. She grabbed Christopher\u2019s hand, and neither of them even glanced at the shopping bags Ethan had tossed beside the trash. Together, they strode straight toward the elevator, moving in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p>Ethan had thought his departure might at least stir some trace of unease in Charlotte\u2026 but he was mistaken. Lost in thought, he nearly ran into the barrier at the garage exit. Meanwhile, Charlotte led Christopher into the elevator without so much as a backward glance. \u201cCharlotte\u2026 do you really think tossing all those things was right? \u201d Christopher asked quietly. \u201cThey\u2019re not yours. Don\u2019t touch them. Besides, the loss isn\u2019t yours to bear.\u201d \u2014- Charlotte\u2019s voice was firm, leaving no room for debate. Three hundred thousand dollars worth of luxury goods-who wouldn\u2019t feel a pang of regret?<\/p>\n<p>Follow new episodes on the ebookcrush.Com<\/p>\n<p>But to Charlotte, anything branded with Ethan\u2019s name was tainted. Snapping back to reality, she lightly twisted Christopher\u2019s ear- not enough to hurt, but enough to convey her full anger. \u201cDo you really think Ethan is a good person? I\u2019ve told you before- he and | don\u2019t get along, and with us\u2026\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s not from our world,\u201d Christopher interrupted softly. \u201cA rich heir of his level can\u2019t empathize with us. He only takes. If he\u2019s nice to me, it\u2019s a trap.\u201d Christopher had grown tired of her sister\u2019s warnings. Before, he had only nodded along, but now he wanted to make his stance clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlotte, | know you don\u2019t trust Ethan, but | don\u2019t think he\u2019s as bad as you say. He\u2019s\u2026 actually really nice.\u201d The moment his words left his mouth, Charlotte\u2019s hand shot up. \u201d Do you want me to smack you again?\u201d She had no patience for explaining complex matters that he couldn\u2019t understand; she resorted to blunt, physical enforcement. \u2014- \u201cSlapping me doesn\u2019t change my thoughts,\u201d Christopher muttered, a little fearful, but still mumbling, \u201cEthan was really, really nice to me.\u201d \u201cYou\u2026 Charlotte gave his arm a sharp smack. \u201cWhat kind of villain writes his evil on his face?<\/p>\n<p>Do you even know what a sugar-coated bullet is? He spoils you, gives you things you don\u2019t need as a treat, and you think that\u2019s being nice? \u201cThink about it-can you even use these luxury goods? Enjoying what isn\u2019t yours now means paying a heavier price later. \u201cMeeting Ethan was a coincidence. He dangled a few things in front of you so you could enjoy a life that isn\u2019t yours. If you keep accepting his gifts, how will you ever go back to your own life? \u201cEven if Ethan keeps giving, relying on what others own makes. you dependent.<\/p>\n<p>You study to achieve your own dreams, not to be a prop for someone else. Don\u2019t covet the favor of others-it will corrupt you.\u201d Charlotte\u2019s words rang with conviction, and her face flushed with intensity. She had feared Ethan would brainwash Christopher, so she\u2019d guarded him closely, cutting off all contact. Yet, he had clearly been thinking about it all along-so much so that he actually went to see Ethan. \u2014- \u201cCharlotte, | think you\u2019re overreacting. It\u2019s not as serious as you make it out to be\u2026 and anyway, | didn\u2019t come here for anything else.<\/p>\n<p>| just wanted to thank Ethan.\u201d Seeing that Christopher still wouldn\u2019t listen, Charlotte cut him off. \u201cTell me then-aside from bribing you with expensive gifts, what else makes Ethan so good in your eyes?\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s nice to you,\u201d Christopher said suddenly. The words struck Charlotte dumb.<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
