Find Me In Your Labyrinth

It was just one night, but the amount of work Emily had to put in to take care of Kya alone was clearly beyond words.

When Emily heard Charlie’s sudden question, she was a bit taken aback, then hesitated before saying, “Tm used to it, I don’t actually find it that hard.”

Charlie said in a low voice, “You have to work during the day and take care of Kya at night You’re going to burn out at this rate You can consider getting a full-time nanny, I’ll cover the cost”

Emily immediately shook her head and said, “No need! I can’t see Kya during the day when I’m at work, so I have to be with her at night. Actually, it’s a lot better now!”

Charlie took a deep look at her and asked, “When did you and Kya’s father split? Didn’t he step up to his responsibilities as a dad?”

Emily, with a sandwich in her mouth, mumbled, “Can we not talk about him?”

Charlie felt a pang in his heart. He didn’t want to bring up that guy either, but seeing Emily’s reaction, it was clear she hadn’t moved on Was she still in love with the guy?

The atmosphere got a bit awkward, and both of them went silent just quietly eating their meal.

After dinner, Kent brought Charlie’s clothes over.
