Chapter 1028 - Can she move from her world to his? (2/2)

Brian frowned when he saw Charlie at the door. And Charlie frowned in return.

”I came to see Emma.”, Charlie told Brian while swallowing all the bad thoughts that came into his mind. Why did Emma go to Brian? Out of all the people, why Brian? Charlie did his best not to think about it.

”She does not want to see you.”, Brian smugly said.

”I need to talk to her.”

Brian sneered. ”Didn't you hear me? She does NOT want to see you, or talk to you, or have anything to do with you!”

Charlie exhaled while feeling that his temper is rising. ”I want to hear that from Emma.”

Brian narrowed his eyes. ”I will not let you hurt her again.”

”I don't want to hurt her. I want to talk to her.”

”What is the difference? Go back to your party. You are not welcome here.”, Brian was closing the door, and Charlie blocked it with his arm.

”I came to see Emma, and I'm not leaving until I talk to her.”, Charlie growled at Brian.

”You can wait on the street as much as you want. If you are on the property, I will call the police.”

”Brian… Step away, please.”, Emma's voice came from behind Brian.

Brian frowned and took a step to the side. He will be a gentleman in front of Emma because he does not want her to think badly of him, but he has no intention to leave Emma and Charlie by themselves.

”Emma…”, Charlie looked at Emma and he was not sure what to say. He can see that she is clutching the dress where the red stain starts, and that she is sad, and it's all because of what happened, but what is he supposed to say? ”I'm sorry.”

Emma looked at Charlie and her heart cracked a little. This perfect man came after her and he is apologizing, and she is torn between happiness that he cares about her and the feeling that she is not worthy of him.

”Why are you sorry? You did nothing wrong.”, Emma said.

”I'm sorry that you are upset. I'm sorry for not being able to prevent what happened…”

Brian's snort interrupted Charlie.

Charlie frowned and did his best to adjust his mood and ignore Brian.

”Can we talk in private? Please?”, Charlie asked Emma.

Emma nodded in agreement.

Charlie extended his arm toward Emma, palm up and she placed her hand in his. He grasped her hand and pulled her toward him.

Charlie felt an immense relief knowing that Emma accepted to talk to him. He is not out of the game. He still has a place in Emma's heart, and he is determined to keep it.

Charlie removed his suit jacket and draped it around Emma's shoulders before putting his arm around Emma's waist and pulling her close to him. He smiled when he felt that she leaned onto him.

Brian was standing at the open door and watched dejectedly after Emma who was walking away with Charlie toward his car.

”Where are we going?”, Emma asked Charlie.

”To a place where we can talk undisturbed.”, Charlie answered. ”After that I will drop you off wherever you want. I promise.”
