Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1597

"I'm asking you one more time. Is there a problem you can't solve?" Charlie's voice was low and steady.

Emily just shook her head, "No, nothing!"

Charlie's expression softened, "Emily, have you ever trusted me?"

She did trust him. In this world, the people she trusted most were her mom, Estelle, and him.

But now, under his deep and piercing gaze, all she could do was lower her head and reply coolly, "I don't understand what you're getting at, Mr. James."

"Are you not trusting me?" Charlie finished, a self-mocking smile playing on his lips as he handed her the signed documents, "You can go now."

"Yes, sir." Emily took the documents without lifting her head and turned to leave.

Charlie watched her retreating figure, rubbing his eyebrows as a shadow fell over his handsome face.

At dinner that evening, Shawn told Emily he had found a job.

Emily looked up, "What kind of job?"

"A friend introduced me. It's a job as a chef in a company cafeteria. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow morning." Shawn grinned, "The company is in Wye District, but they provide staff accommodation, so I'll be staying there most of the time."

Emily frowned slightly, "Which friend? Can we trust him?"

"Harlan, we used to work together. He said it's reliable." Shawn took a bite of his steak and then looked up at Kya with a big grin, "Kya, I'm going to work tomorrow. You must listen to Mommy at home."

Kya enjoyed spending time with Shawn and was a bit reluctant to see him leave. She asked in her childish voice, "Grandpa, when will you come back?"

"When I've earned some money." Shawn smiled affectionately, "Then I'll come back and buy you some candy."

Kya pursed her lips and nodded, "Can Mommy and I visit you?"

Emily sighed in relief, "I can handle my own affairs."

"Just don't overwork yourself," Shawn said earnestly. "If anything tricky happens, call me. I may not be much, but I'll do anything to protect you."

Emily turned away, her voice choked with emotion, so she remained silent.

After cleaning up the kitchen and Ms. Simmons arrived, Emily took one last look at Shawn, who was laughing and playing with Kya, before she left.

At ten o'clock that morning, Emily received a message from Shawn, [I'm off now. I'll come back to see you guys when I can.]

Emily stared at her phone, a bitter feeling welling up in her heart.

She really hoped that her father could be reliable one more time!
