Chapter 571 The New Guest List
Staring at the words on the invitation, Charlie seemed to double-check the time and location and hesitated to speak several times
Seeing this, I didn't want to retort Emily temporarily. Then I looked at him and spoke with a hint of probing, "What's wrong, Mr
Marilyn? Any trouble with the time?"
Although I thought that he hesitated because of the location of the party, I wouldn't be foolish enough to bring up Morris' house. So I only asked about the time
Charlie glanced at me and put on a gentle face as usual. Then he smiled, shaking his head, "No, I'll arrive on time. Meteor is also looking
forward to meeting the two little sisters. They're gonna have a great time."
His mention of children triggered some colleagues' ambiguous glances immediately
However, Charlie was completely indifferent to this. After putting away the invitation, he got up and left the office straight away
Seeing their boss had gone, the colleagues gathering around walked away. Soon, besides Emily, there was no one else around me
"My husband and I'll arrive on time as well."
She repeated what she had said before with her chin lifted and then left my line of sight with a smile
But I was in no mood to pay attention to her. All I thought was Charlie's weird reaction just now
He must have something on his mind
However, it was precisely because of this that a paradox arose in my mind
Considering the peaceful ending of the party, I certainly hoped that Charlie had some undisclosed reasons for being absent from the mansion that day
But I secretly hoped that he would come as promised and dissolve all my confusions
In short, after getting off work that evening, I revised the originally drafted guest list
Aaron came out of the bathroom and stood behind me suddenly, looking at my computer screen. He grunted in dissatisfaction upon seeing Emily and Charlie's names added to it
"If Emily were to come, Vincent would
definitely come too. Baby, remember how that jerk treated you last time? Why bother inviting them?"
I anticipated Aaron's question and had also been conflicted about Vincent. But I still believed that he wouldn't dare to act inappropriately in front of Emily
"Vincent is a coward. Even if he had any dirty thoughts about me, he would never show them in front of Emily. Emily 1s still the heiress of the Grey family despite the quarrel with her father
Vincent wouldn't be that foolish."
I turned around and wrapped my hands around Aaron's waist, lazily leaning my head against his slightly moist belly, and smiling as revealed my thoughts
His body visibly stiffened slightly due to my
actions, but soon he began to play with the stray hairs at my temple, complaining, "Even if they won't ruin our party, what about Charlie and Marilyn? I have already told you to stay away from that man."
Compared to the previous disgust with Vincent, Aaron's tone now clearly carried a hint of pure jealousy
He was like a mother eagle protecting the chick, seeing me as a baby who could fall off a cliff at any moment. He even froze upon hearing the name of Charlie
I couldn't help but laugh, recalling that the last time I almost told him about those things about Charlie. Now I was somewhat glad I held my tongue back then
Aaron would definitely have taken me to submit
my resignation notice if he knew those things
Then I probably wouldn't have had another chance to find a job on my own later
Snapping back to reality, I pinched Aaron's arm, explaining softly, "Because when I distributed the invitations today, I didn't realize he had already returned from his business trip. As my boss, he voluntarily asked for an invitation in public, I had no reason to refuse him."
Aaron's expression still hadn't softened much, so I tilted my head and jokingly asked him, "Mr
Morris, are you jealous or worried now?"
His cheeks flushed strangely as he awkwardly avoided my gaze, about to earnestly say something to me. But it was too late since I had stood up and accurately kissed his lips
