Chapter 455 What Did You Call Me
"There is nothing we can do to settle this long-running family feud. Don't beat yourself up over this, "
Charles told Linda while gently stroking her hair.
Linda positioned her head cozily on Charles's lap while having a nice little chat with him.
Paul didn't want to bother them upon seeing that sweet scene, so he went out. Linda hadn't spent
much Charles for a while because he was too busy. And absence did make the heart grow fonder.
"Honey, our babies are coming. Have you thought about what their names would be? We are going to
have twins!" Linda was brimming with happiness as she thought of her babies, yet she was also
worried. It was already nerve wracking to have one baby coming because raising a child well wasn't an
easy job, but she was expecting twins! She wondered which baby would get a peek of the world first.
No matter who came out first, Linda and Charles would love him or her as equally as the younger one
for they were both their beloved babies.
"We don't have to rush it. Their names can be chosen after they would be born. When that time comes,
we also need to consult our parents and our genealogy for their names. How about we give them pet
names first?" Charles said as he grinned. He was glowing with parental love at the mention of his
twins.
Perhaps, he was more eager than Linda to see them. That's why he was busy dealing with company
affairs these days. In this way, he would be able to stay with Linda when she would be in labor and
accompany her after the babies were born. He wanted to give her the greatest sense of security.
It was said that postpartum depression was pretty common after delivery, so he wanted to make sure
that Linda wouldn't catch the emotional blues.
As for the pet names of their children, they still wanted to give it another thought.
After all, their pet names would probably follow them all through their childhood. What if they were no
good and their twins would blame them for their lame names?
Charles patted Linda's hand and said to her while she still seemed to be deep in thought, "Linda, I can't
stay with you tomorrow night. Take care of yourself while I'm away."
Linda squinted at him and asked, "Where will you be?"
"There is going to be a jewelry auction in ZJ Province tomorrow night. I'm going to have a look."
Linda felt that something was off. It was quite strange, for Charles wasn't the kind of man who liked to
take part in such spectacle. Yet, she didn't ask him for more information as jewelry didn't interest her.
"I could finish all the things I have on hand by next week. Then, I will accompany you every day at
home, all right?" Charles could feel that Linda was upset by his former answer, so he told her this
immediately to cheer her up. Now that Linda had his twins in her womb, he would literally do everything
to make her happy.
In fact, whether she was having his twins or not, she was still one of his precious treasures. He would
treat her with equal love and care.
People said that daughters were the dearest loves of their dads in their another lives. Therefore, the
profoundest love from a man for a woman was to pamper her as his daughter. That was how Charles
loved Linda.
Linda had been pretty tired these days due to her pregnancy. She even fell asleep on Charles's lap
during their short chat, which he found both funny and heartbreaking. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
He carried her to the bed. He could feel her obvious change in weight after pregnancy. She had gained
a lot of weight, appearing as a plumper and chubbier woman. Comparing her now with her former
state, Charles liked this Linda best, for she was too skinny before.
Charles too fell into a sound sleep with Linda, the dearest love of his life, in his arms. She was the only
person who could give him a peaceful sleep as long as she was breathing around him. He wanted to
be with her till death would part them.
By the time Linda woke up the next morning, Charles had already left. Although the jewelry auction
would only kick off in the afternoon, he still arrived early in ZJ Province in the morning.
Apart from this auction, Charles had arranged a few meals together with the long-term business
partners of the Mu's Group to discuss future cooperation matters.
"Young Master, I have arranged a car for you. We'll arrive at our hotel in ZJ Province in two hours, "
Paul told Charles politely.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Erm… Young Master…" Paul seemed to have something to say.
Charles couldn't help but knit a frown on his face as if he already knew what Paul was going to say. "If
you have something to say, just say it. You know how I feel about beating around the bush."
"It's just that… Sophia will also be attending this jewelry auction. Should we go together with her?"
"How come she's invited?"
Charles knew that all of the elites in the world of business were invited. But he never heard of any
female stars who were also invited.
"It's like this... It's true that only successful business men were invited to attend this auction, and they
didn't technically invite Sophia. But she is the appointed singer for the opening ceremony, so she would
also be there."
"She can go there by herself. I don't have to go with her. She is only one of the employees of my
company, " Charles said flatly with no tinge of expression on his face. He glanced at the time and
strode downstairs when they were about to leave.
Paul was not surprised by Charles's answer. That was why he had turned down Sophia's agent who
directly went to him this morning to ask him if Sophia could go to ZJ Province with Charles. He already
knew that the Charles would never go together with Sophia.
He only asked him because Sophia's agent requested him to.
When they reached the parking lot, Charles was ready to get on his car when he saw a woman waiting
near the car.
In a daring sleeveless top and short shorts, the woman wore high heels and sunglasses; her hair hung
loosely on her shoulders. She exuded an air of sex appeal.
"Charles, here you are. I have waited you for a long time."
Sophia missed a heartbeat upon seeing Charles, and she couldn't restrain her excitement. Her
heartbeat always quickened with him around.
She had vowed to get Charles to be with her, for he was such a capable and successful man.
"What did you call me?"
Charles looked at her with a serious frown.
"Charles. What's wrong with that?" Sophia was playing dumb. How could she not notice his frown? But
she wanted to approach him; so to achieve that, she had to play some tricks. Even if Charles was a
cold-hearted person, she believed that she could be able to warm him up as time went by.
