Chapter 1360
Charlie knew that Mr. Sample was laying it on thick to butter him up, but he was still all chuffed. Maybe it was a bit
of wishful thinking, but he started to see a bit of himself in Kya.
Seeing Charlie chuffed, the others started piling praises on Kya.
Kya, however, remained as cool as a cucumber. Despite her tender age, she showed a sense of calmness that was
so Charlie-like. She was engrossed in her milkshake, neither shy nor showy.
While they were all having a laugh, the newlyweds came for a toast.
Elliott walked in, spotted Kya in Charlie’s lap, and nearly jumped out of his skin. He rushed over to scoop Kya up,
“Mr. James, how can we let you babysit Kya?”
Kya shouted out with joy. “Uncle Elliott!

Charlie just chuckled, “It’s fine, Kya likes hanging out with me.”
Kya clung onto Charlie’s shirt, “Tm good with Dad, I’m not acting up.”
Elliott was completely gobsmacked.
Charlie gave him a knowing look, “You can just focus on your bride today, leave the rest to me
Elliott nodded hastily, snapping back to reality.
Mr. Sample and the others were a bit stumped about Elliott and Charlie’s relationship, it seemed like Elliott’s sister
Emily was with Mr. James, but they didn’t seem
to know each other well.
Were they hiding something?
Mr. Sample didn’t dare to be disrespectful and was exceedingly cordial to Elliott, “Elliott, it’s a great honor for you
that Mr. James has managed to attend your wedding despite his busy schedule, you should toast him with a few
more glasses of wine.”
“Sure!” Elliott filled Charlie’s glass, saying respectfully. “Thank you for coming, cheers!!
Charlie stopped him, “You have loads of guests to toast, don’t get plastered right off the bat
Elkott was very grateful, sipping his drink lightly and thanking Charlie again,
The others exchanged glances. When Elliott was toasting them, they naturally wouldn’t let him drink too much. The
manager seized the chance to flatter, Tve always had high hopes for Elliott. He’s capable and diligent, and now he’s
happily married to a beautiful wife, his future is bright!”
Mr. Sample also chimed in, Tve heard of Elliott long ago and have been keeping tabs on him. Be sure to take good
care of talents like him.”
“Of course, of course! The others all nodded, seizing the chance to brown-nose, acting like they were all close to

Charlie didn’t butt in, he was just focused on taking care of Kya.
Elliott rarely got to see Mr. Sample, let alone chat with him this warmly. He knew very well that this was all because
of Charlie.
Bonnie stood by, watching everything unfold. She got the picture now.
Seeing how doting Charlie was towards Kya, she felt a chill down her spine. She had called Kya an illegitimate child
over the phone and canceled her role as a flower girl at the last minute. She wondered if Charlie knew all that
After more pleasantries, Elliott and Bonnie left.
Once they were out of the room, Bonnie blurted out, “Is Mr. James really the CEO of the James Group?”
Elliott beamed, “Of course it’s true, how can it be a liel
Bonnie exclaimed, “So, Emily’s kid is really Mr. James”?”
Elliott frowned in thought, “I don’t think so, but I can’t figure out why Mr. James is so attentive to Kya.”
