Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1238 Extra Story 128 Of Charlie Love Required Effort

"Wh-" Sean was flabbergasted. He murmured under his breath, "You and Evelyn are the only ones in this world who would dare command me."

No one dared to demand anything of him as Sean would take over the XK Intelligence Agency. He was the top brass around here. Even Brian never ordered him around, respecting his leadership in the agency. "Why didn't you say anything about Sean before?" Elsa asked as she was being dragged away by Charlie.

Charlie replied slowly, "As far as I am concerned, he is not my brother." Fixing his eyes far away, he continued, "He is more like a friend to me."

"What's the difference?" Elsa asked, with a smile on her lips.

Charlie laughed, "Yeah, not much." But the truth was that there were many differences between them. Sean was indebted to Charlie's father. So, unlike Charlie or Evelyn, he tried hard to prove that he was strong enough to be his successor. However, to some degree, his father didn't want Sean to take over this cruel agency. It was so strange that even though Charlie and Evelyn were born in the agency and had lived there for some years, their grandfather and father, who were predecessors of XK, raised them up to be bright and kind children.

But such naive personality didn't suit XK.

As they walked around the camp, Charlie explained about his life in XK, about the mercenary soldier's training, and their accomplishments in the field. He also told her about the love stories in his family. Finally, they came to the exit of XK's Hell Forest. Charlie told Elsa that his grandfather, Richie, had decided to join XK for his grandmother, Shirley, and that Shirley had waited for Richie while she was pregnant. And then he told her that his mother Molly had left his father Brian and had run away with Addison, and that Brian had stayed in Hell Forest for two years in order to take over XK and replace Molly.

Elsa eyes were brimming with tears after hearing such sad stories. She suddenly realized that she was the happiest person in this world. Elsa had only ever heard the happy sides of these two love stories, but she never realized that there was so much pain in their lives until Charlie had told her just now.

A person's life was a semicircle. To complete it into a circle, one needed to replace their true love. But replaceing that one person among billions of others was a mean task. Eventually, people ended up making do with someone they didn't love for the rest of their lives, never replaceing their soul partner. But some of them might be lucky enough to replace their destined love, yet they had to experience so much pain and suffering in order to be together.

As for Elsa... She never did anything extraordinary. All she did was waiting for Charlie to step into her life and sweep her off her feet. She didn't need to suffer and yet she had him by her side already.

"Charlie," Elsa wondered out loud, "Your parents and grandparents suffered so much before they could finally be together. Will we have to go through all that suffering as well before we can be together?" Tears filled her eyes when she imagined going through a life without Charlie... "I don't want that to happen," she sobbed.

Charlie's heart broke seeing her tears. He wiped it off and pulled her into a gentle hug. "I am not telling you these stories to make you worry about our future. All I am trying to say is that, just like my father and grandfather, I will do anything for you and I will love you till the end of my life." He held her close to his body protectively with his chin against her forehead. He breathed in her faint fragrance and reassured her, "We won't go through any of that suffering. We live in different circumstances. Besides, we didn't start from being strangers or enemies like they did. You and I are different." Charlie smiled and his eyes were full of love for her. He said, "I fell in love with you the first time I laid my eyes on you."

Love. It is the most powerful and the most beautiful word, capable of protecting and destroying. Hearing the words, 'I love you', from someone you love is the most beautiful feeling in the world.

It had the power to wipe clean all your doubts and concerns. Elsa and Charlie stayed in each other's embrace. Their circle was complete.

Meanwhile, Evelyn was exhausted as hell because she was being 'tortured' by Ezra in bed every night. At first, she couldn't wait to have sex with him because she wanted to experience it. But now, even though she had had enough of it, Ezra wasn't planning on letting her go anytime soon.

Evelyn was so pissed at him that she decided to vent her anger by killing people in the game. 'How romantic of Charlie to take Elsa to the place where he had spent his childhood. And here I am. Poor old me...' Evelyn fumed. She was either being left alone at home while Ezra was busy dealing with the lawsuits, or being tortured by him in bed right after he got back from work.

Elsa, on the other hand, was living her dream.

Evelyn was pissed off because Ezra was not being as romantic as Charlie. She typed angrily on her keyboard and led some low-level players to kill the big boss.

The moment the boss fell dead, the low-level players began applauding and singing her praises. At that moment, Evelyn's phone rang. After asking her team to wait for a minute, she picked up the call without checking who the caller was. She spoke angrily, "Who is this?" The person at the other end stayed silent for a moment. Then, Addison's voice came through, "Oh no! Who has made our Princess Evelyn so angry? Let me guess... Someone by the name Ezra?" He laughed when she growled slightly into the phone. "Shall I send some of my men to avenge you. How about we disfigure his face so that he can never leave the house and can stay with you forever?"☐☐☐☐
