In the private room
After eating. Charlie paced around inside, anxiously waiting for Clifford to call them back.
Nina, on the other hand, sat at the side and calmly nibbled on her pork with sauce, When she saw Charlie walking around, she felt that her eyes were about to blur, in the waved at Charlie and uid “Charlie, can you nor walk around! Clifford said he would keep us posted. Calm down. Have a cup of coffee, okay?”
Charlic clanced at Nina and frowned 1 just feel that something is wrong. Nina, did farkie say anything to you before she left?
“Yes” and Nima
“What did she say!
“A lot of things. We’ve been together for days. Do you want to hear every word?” Nina didn’t mind. She had a good memory. She remembered. everything Jackie and clearly.
Charlie’s face notched. Nina’s magnanimous appearance made him want to hit her.
Hopeless Nina has been completely ruined by Clifford
He reached into his trouser pocket for a box of cigarettes, shook one out, and trie
I tried to light it again Smoking when he was frustrated could calm his
Bai, just as he was about to light the cigarette, Jackie’s words came to his mind. So he put out the fire, threw the cigarette on the ground, and stomped on it.
Nina looked at Charlie’s actions and asked curiously. “Charlie, don’t you smoke anymore?”
Charlie was a rebellious person. One could tell just by looking at his dyed hair. He had previously watched some movies of gangsters and learned many of the characters behaviors. Smoking was one of them. He found in extremely cool.
Nina had always wanted to be cool, so when she saw Charlie smoking, she also smoked. Then, she was scolded by Clifford and Jackie. They attacked her mentally together. After being lectured for two days, Nina did not dare to smoke again
However, Charlie would not listen to Clifford. Clifford’s lecture didn’t work for him.
Jackie would not lecture Charbe either because Charlie was rebellious. He’d do whatever people asked him not to do
After that, Charlie had never smoked in front of Jackie again.
Jackie only said. “I hate smokers the most Then Charlie chickened out. After that,
But Nina knew Charlar would occasionally serrily smoke behind Jackie’s back.
Vet Charlie warned Nina to not tell Jackie about this
Now that Nina saw that Charlie took the initiative not to smoke even though Jackie wasn’t around, she was quite surprised. She found Charlie becoming more and more afraid of Jackie but didn’t know why:
“No! Charlie ruffled his hair in frustration. Then, he walked to Nina’s side and asked, “Why isn’t there any news yet? Is Clifford a snail?”
Nina immediately defended Clifford and said, “You have to give Clifford some time, Jackie should still be under interrogation. In principle, the
the on the phone. Clifford definitely needs time to deal with those stubborn old men.
“Hels, you’re defending Clifford!” said Charlie.
“Of course! Because he’s helping us now. Don’t we have to build a good relationship with him?” said Nina.
“Suit yourself, but if he doesn’t contact us in five minutes, call him again, said Charlie.
“Clurlar, you’re really anxious” said Nina.
“Does it matter
it matter to you?”
“Hehe, no Actually, labo want to chat with Jackie,” Nina said with a smi
When Charlie saw Nina’s bright smile, he paused for a moment and his anxious mood eased slightly. His eyes trembled slightly. After calming down, he reached out and rubbed the top of Nina’s head. His actions were much gemiler than before, as if he was a father.
Although he found Nina silly, he was happy to see her being optimistic, positive, and carefree.
Charlie was cold and aloof. He was sincere only to Nina and Jackie.
Chapter 99
Now that Nina had Clifford protecting i
him, he didn’t need to worry about her. But Jackie.
For some reason, every time Charlie thought of her these days, his heart would ache uncontrollably. It was as if something bad was about to happen. He wanted to see jackie or at least talk to her. He needed to confirm that she was safe and sound!
Jackie must be alright Charlie thought.
Five minutes were about to pass. At this moment, they received a call from Clifford.
“Here it is!” Seeing the number of the caller, Nina hurriedly spoke
Coming back to his senses, Charlie immediately snatched the phone over and said. “Hey!”
