Loreen really wanted to look into the actual relationship between Charlie and Doris.
However, it was impossible to do so due to tconstraints. 1 She needed to rush off to Eastcliff and spend twith her family during the New Year. Therefore, after staying for about ten minutes, Loreen turned to both Claire and Charlie and said, "Claire, Charlie, I have to go now and head over to the airport for my flight. All the flights to Eastcliff are completely booked today. If I miss this flight, I would be spending the New Year here in Aurous Hill." i Claire replied, "Loreen, do you want us to send you off at the airport?" Loreen hurriedly said, "You don't have to trouble yourselves. All of you should just stay here." 2 As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to Doris and greeted, "Miss Young, I shall take my leave now." With a gentle nod, Doris replied, "Have a safe flight! Also, Happy New Year in advance!" 1 "Thank you!" Loreen nodded. After bidding farewell to Claire's parents, only then did she turn to Dylan, who was with a sullen expression on his face, and left together. 3 As they stepped out of the door, Dylan could no longer suppress his depressed emotions. He let out a cry all of a sudden as he said, "Loreen, this Charlie is just too much! You saw it too, since the moment I walked in through the door, I did not trigger him, nor did I provoke him. I didn't even dare to confront him with any rebuttal at all. I didn't expect him to let Wrigley extend my punishment period by a year! He even toldthat I did something and made him unhappy. Why don't you judge this for me! Why is there a person like this!" 1 Loreen let out a sigh as she said, "Dylan, I suspect the reason Charlie dislikes you was because of your lovey- dovey attitude toward Miss Young." 1 Dylan nodded and exclaimed, "To be frank, I too have already guessed it. I could only think of two plausible reasons for this matter: First, he was very unhappy with my behavior of picking up girls in front him. Second, he was unhappy because of my attempt to court Doris. It must be one or the other." i Loreen nodded. "I have the sopinion as well. Most probably this had something to do with Miss Young, but I am still a little unsure of the motive behind his action. It is reasonable to say that Charlie shouldn't have any ties with Miss Young at all." Dylan said angrily, "I suspect there might be something going on between them!" Loreen, naturally, could not accept such a fact, so she replied, "I don't think the two of them could possibly d o such a thing. After all, Charlie still wholeheartedly loves his wife." Dylan replied, "You can't judge a book by its cover! You don't know what kind of person Charlie is when he's not around us..." As he spoke, he let out a depressed sigh and continued. "If I had known that this would happen, I would not have followed you here! I told you that I didn't want to cbut you insistedto follow you here. Oh great! I am stuck in this sh*tty Aurous Hill for another two years! Isn't this killing me?" i Feeling ashamed and full of regrets, Doreen said," Dylan, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have dragged you along.." Dylan wiped away his tears and replied, "Rather than just apologizing, why don't you think of a way to advise Charlie to pardonas early as possible..." Doreen hurriedly nodded and said, "Dylan, don't you worry! Once I'm back from Eastcliff, I will definitely look for an opportunity to beg Charlie for mercy on your behalf."
She firmly continued. "After I return, I must look into the relationship matter between Charlie and Doris, to find out if they have any dirty little secret." Doreen boarded the plane with a lingering suspicion and flew back to Eastcliff.
Dylan had no money in his pockets and dared not cause any trouble in Aurous HillSo, all he could do was dejectedly return to Cliffcouls. At the stime, that arrogant and condescending aunt of Charlie's, Carmen, stayed in Cliffcouls while being monitored. 1
This New Year's Eve was going to be the worst New Year's Eve that the two of them would ever experience in their lifetime. 1 The scan be said for Christopher's family. X
