Even with Nicole on high alert, she was clueless about his moves. He was out here pulling strings behind the scenes without raising an eyebrow, calmly watching the ridiculous woman wrestle with life until she was pregnant. It was wild how he kept his cool to think of such intricate plans in this mess.

Without some serious cunning and strategy, one wouldn't end up where he was at.

Kamryn was jaw-dropped watching this guy work his magic.

For her.

For a guy like Charlie, it was fortunate that he rode a shotgun for h

Charlie nodded.

Kamryn said. "If she wants to see you, go."

He looked kind of surprised, asking, "Are you cool with me seeing her?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

Out of the blue, she gave her still slightly wet hair a flirty toss, flashing him a come-hither smile and look, "It's late, and I'm here. I don't think you'll leave behind your beautiful, delicate wife to coddle another woman."

She thought, "He won't test the waters with that one. Humph."

Charlie laughed and suddenly said, "Give yourself ten minutes to blow-dry that hair."

The bossy vibe was his style,

Kamryn widened her eyes, asking. "Why"

Charlie stubbed out his cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up. He strolled over, grabbed her hand, and gave her fingertips a light kiss.

"I want you to come with me.

She threw for a loop for a second, then a smirk creeped onto her face. "Sure thing"

Charlie drove to the destination and arrived thirty minutes later. After parking, Kamryn hopped out, looked up, and started. breaking a sweat

She thought, Isn't this the spot Nicole suggested meeting me earlier? Could she still be hanging around here? It's like eleven at night, the cafe should be closed, right?

Then the waiter, realizing the situation, shook his head helplessly and said, "It's got to be that lady, right? We're closed, but she's been sitting alone in the private room, looking all down. We didn't have the heart to kick her out. If it's cool with you. could you talk to her? We're trying to wrap up our shift here"

They were supposed to shut down at ten, and it was already eleven.

They couldn't clock out until the guests left.

Kamryn nodded.

The waiter led them to the private room door, saying, "Here you go."

He pushed it open.

Inside, Nicole heard the footsteps and jumped up, thinking, 'Charlie's here! So soon!"

She had almost given up hope of him showing up tonight.

But to her surprise, he came.

She believed he must still have feelings for her, or he wouldn't show up.

If that was the case, then everything would be a cakewalk!

She knew him inside and out. He was always a sentimental guy. Even though she had pissed him off a lot in the past, they still had a strong bond. Plus, she was carrying his kid, so he was bound to step up.

Overflowing with hope, She hurried to the door. Seeing Charlie halfway in, a warm smile spread across her face, and she lovingly said, "Charlie"

And so she was moved and started moving towards him, ready to throw herself into his arms.

But just as she took a couple of steps forward, she saw him walking in, hand in hand with someone. Kamryn was right behind. him, and Nicole froze in her tracks, like she had been hit by a lightning bolt. She was stiff as a board, as if someone had just dumped a bucket of ice water over her head,

She thought, Kamryn? What's she doing here?"

Oh, she knew it. Charlie and Kamryn were an item now, and he already popped the question. That grand proposal turned heads all over the city.

She thought. "When I called him earlier, Kamryn must have been right there with him. Why didn't I think of that? But why would Charlie bring her here? Is he worried about her? He was never the type to be so caring. He was always decisive, not one for these sensitive moves, especially for a woman.

As this sank in, her face dropped.

Charlie and Kamryn walked into the private room, Nicole was left standing there all alone. Despite the bright lights, she felt. surrounded by darkness, looking like she had lost all her spark.

You mentioned something important to discuss, didn't you? Take a seat," Charlie said, holding Kamryn close and casually

So she was meticulous about everything.

The waiter walked in and asked, "What would you like to order?"

Charlie smoothly took the menu, turned to Kamryn, and asked, "Babe, what do you want to drink?"

Nicole couldn't help but feel a stab of pain from that sweet nickname.

She sat there, head down, nervously pulling on her skirt.

On the other side of the table, those two were deep into discussing drinks and debating which dessert to go for. Their back-and-forth and shared smiles showed a level of closeness and understanding that Nicole would expect from a couple who had been happily married for ages. It was obvious that their love was still going strong and providing comfort, just like always
