Snare of Love

Chapter 629 Love is not for Oneself

“After Tom’s injury gets better, you guys go back to White City.” Alan was afraid dragged him into this.

Charles knew he was doing for the good of himself, but how could he walk away reassuringly without

seeing the result of this matter?

“You have done enough.” Alan sat on the chair, “Superiors had created a task force to investigate on

this incident. Once verified with conclusive evidence, even the reincarnation of God couldn’t save them,

so there is no need for you to stay in this mess.”

After hearing the severity of this incident, Charles asked, “Are you in the task force?”

Alan shook his head, “All of them were sent from the top. I have relations with the Bailey family, so they

wouldn’t include me. This time, the superiors are very focus on this matter, as it has gotten bad. If the

situation goes worst, I might also be investigated.”

“This is so serious?” Charles frowned slightly, and had probably known the result of this incident.

“At this juncture, the superiors have been deliberately intimidating the officials below.” Making brutal

examples for others to see, the government would also use such methods.

After all, the crackdown on underworld forces measures, issued by the government, had just come to

an end, and then this sort of thing happened. This equated to a slap to their face, and had to be

punished severely.

“This time, you have to listen to me. You have to go back as early as possible to avoid you being

affected.”

Alan understood the seriousness of this incident.

“About those officials whom you have relations with, I will deal with them. You don’t need to worry about

it and just take Tiana Meyer to White City and have a simple life.” Alan stretched his hand and patted

his shoulder, “Don’t let me worry.”

Charles only thought about himself at that time, and didn’t take Alan into account. He knew Alan’s

character and his relationship with Mrs. Meyer, so he didn't tell Alan. Instead, he did things behind his

back to find people around him by using Alan and his identity as relationship. Now thinking of what he

had done, it gave Alan quite a lot of trouble. After all, his personality was famous in the circle, but he

had tarnished his name.

“I’m sorry.”

“We are one family; that phrase sounded like a stranger.” Alan appreciated Charles, and at the same

time, loved him as a son-in-law.

Knock-knock——

The door was knocked this time; Tiana’s voice could be heard, “Dad, Charles, it’s time to eat.”

“I hear you.” Alan said to his daughter.

“Let’s go out and eat.” Alan walked up front to open the order for Charles to come out easily.

Dinner was prepared by Tiana. The news was so sensational that it’s hard to keep Mrs. Meyer from

knowing. Regardless, something happened to the people who were related to her by blood. She was in

bad mood, and was just lying at the bed inside not coming out.

Alan let them eat first, “I’ll go see your mother.”

Afterwards, Alan walked inside the room. Mrs. Meyer was lying at the bed as if she was sick; she had

not much energy, and looked entirely weary.

Alan sat by the edge of the bed, “The kids are here; get up and eat something.”

“I don’t have the appetite. I cannot really eat anything.” Mrs. Meyer said softly, and her voice sounded

weak.

Alan sighed, “How about I quit my job, and let’s go with the kids and live at White City?”

Mrs. Meyer immediately sat up, “How can you do that?”

She knew clearly that her husband was someone with aspirations and ideals, and that was also what

she admired.

An honest person willing to do work with integrity was now hard to find. She held her husband’s hand,

“Did I affect you?”

Alan stared, “You and I are a couple. There’s nothing to be affected.”

Mrs. Meyers wasn’t stupid. This incident was very serious. Whoever had relations with the Bailey Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

family, they would probably be implicated.

“Mom, Dad, can I come in?”

Tiana was knocking the door from the outside.

“Come in.” Mrs. Meyer let go of her husband’s hand and spoke.

Tiana opened the door, and took the tray from Charles’ hands then walked in. On the tray was food,

“Mom, you eat something. You didn’t eat lunch, so you have to eat dinner or you would starve.”

Mrs. Meyer reluctantly smiled, “It’s better to have a daughter.”

Tiana placed the food on the table by the bed, “I cooked what you like to eat, so hurry up and eat.”

Mrs. Meyer first drank water.

“Mom, you come live with us in White City.” Charles said.

Mrs. Meyer knew that he was caring about her; she felt warmth in her heart, and was relieved, "I will

not be going. If I leave, your dad will be alone. I have to accompany him. You guys are going, right?

When will you guys go? If you want to leave, go quickly; this whole place now is a mess."

Mrs. Meyer also hoped them to quickly return to White City.

Charles said, “We’ll leave in two days.”

He understood that Tiana was her father-in-law and mother-in-law’s beloved daughter, so he was

willing to take Tiana with him.

Tiana looked at Charles, “Why did you decide to leave? You didn’t even tell me?”

Charles laughed, “Are there still things you haven’t done?”

“There is.” Tiana thought for a while, “Before we go, I want to bid farewell with Dolores.”

“Which Dolores?” Mrs. Meyer was confused for a while.

She didn’t know who she’s pertaining to.

However, Charles immediately knew who she was referring to, and his eyes fell down, “Let’s not go.”

Tiana didn’t understand why Charles wouldn’t want to go, “Don’t you want to see Dolores?”

Charles said in contrary to his will, “I don’t want to.”

“Who are you guys talking about?” Mrs. Meyer looked at them, and the appearance of Dolores Flores

flashed in her mind. Last time, when something happened to Charles, her daughter also stayed there

overnight. She suddenly realized, “Oh, you guys mean her.”

Tiana strongly nodded, “Dolores has daughter at home. She was very beautiful and cute. I really like

her.”

“Do you like kids?” Mrs. Meyer asked.

Tiana nodded thoughtlessly, “Yeah.”

Mrs. Meyer looked at Charles and smiled, “Then you two hurry up and have a baby. I will then take

care of the baby for you.”

Charles was uncomfortable like a young man who hadn’t grown up, scratched his head and said, “You

eat first.”

Tiana knew that Charles still liked Dolores, and said, “I don’t want to have a baby.”

Mrs. Meyer felt that this was not good, ‘How could they not have a baby?’

“I don’t want to have a baby now.” Tiana explained. Mrs. Meyer glared at her, “You scared me.”

The next day, Tiana let Charles bring her to bid goodbye with Dolores.

Charles now wanted to restrain his feelings, and tried not to go; however, Tiana was very determined,

so he went.

They chose the time at afternoon. The time during afternoon was much longer, and could also prevent

having lunch.

After arriving at the mansion, he didn’t get off the car, and let Tiana go by herself.

Tiana pulled him, “We were able to successfully find someone to exchange you. Dolores also helped

out. Aren’t you going say at least thank you to her?”

Charles looked at Tiana helplessly, “Tiana, you clearly know that I like her, and you still want me to

make contact with her. Won’t you be jealous?”

Tiana said, “I would be envious of Dolores. You like her so much. I know that you wanted to see her,

but you are just holding it. I like to see you happy. If you’re happy, so am I.”

Charles suddenly realized that he wasn’t as straightforward as her, ‘Seeing the person you like being

happy, isn’t that happiness?’

‘Why does it have to forcibly take possession of others for it to be considered love?’

He reached out his hand and held her in his arms, “Promise me to stay with me all along.”

Tiana also hugged him, and said, “I will always stay with you, watching your hair turning white and

becoming an old master.”

Charles pinched her face, “If I grew old, won’t you grow old as well?”

“I won’t grow old; I’m probably going to be like this forever.” Tiana said laughingly.

“Let’s get out of the car.” Tiana pushed open the car door.

Charles said okay.

When they had gotten off the car, some cars drove to the side of the road.
