Chapter 169 Live Own Lives
Warmth spread within Nathaniel’s chest. He gently stroked Christina’s head and coaxed, “Be good, and I’ll bring you there again on the next holiday.”
Christina wiped her tears away and muttered her acknowledgment.
On the way back, she fell asleep, leaning against Nathaniel.
By the time she woke up, she was already back in the Scenic Garden Manor’s master bedroom.
Charlie had promised his mother he would end his relationship with Linda.
To repay Linda for her years of companionship, he took out a check and set it on the table.
Linda’s gaze skimmed through the amount on the check, and panic struck her. “Charlie, are you really breaking up with me?”
She couldn’t believe the man who had promised her the title of his wife was breaking up with her.
Refusing to explain further, Charlie casually said, “I understand you’ve sacrificed a lot over the years, so this amount should be enough to guarantee you a carefree life.”
Over the years of being with Linda, he had given her plenty of things. He had never treated her unfairly when they were together.
Hence, he didn’t feel much guilt or burden when he decided to leave.
“I don’t want money! I want you! Charlie, I’m sorry. I’ve learnt from my mistake now. Please don’t leave.”
Tears began to stream down Linda’s face. She balked at the thought of him returning to Julia’s side.
Charlie had no intention to be a part of her act. He rose from the couch and stated, “You can just throw my stuff away. I’m too lazy to pack them. Let’s live our own lives from now on. As for Francis, he’ll always be my son.”
With that, he walked straight to the door.
Linda hurriedly chased after him and clasped onto his arm. “Charlie, please. I’m begging you. Please don’t leave me. I won’t do something like that ever again.”
Charlie sighed, but since he already made a decision, there was no reason for him to drag his feet.
He flung her hands away and strode through the front door.
