My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 3143

Unfortunately for Doretta, Patricia had no intention of allowing her the chance to fulfill her ambitions. After concluding there was no new information to be gathered, Patricia stood up and left the restaurant. Unnoticed by Patricia, Doretta also stood up, her eyes darkening as she watched the departing figure vanish through the door.

Once outside, Patricia gestured for a taxi and left. Charlie quickly followed, catching upto Patricia.

Arriving back at the apartment building, they went up to Charlie's apartment.

"How did it go?" Charlie inquired.

Handing over the recording pen to Charlie, Patricia replied, "Everything's in here." "Good," Charlie said, satisfied. "These will serve as evidence." "It aligns with the information we had before. We can proceed with the plan as intended." It seemed Doretta would likely make her move soon.

After sitting down, Charlie poured a glass of water for Patricia, urging," Drink some water." "Charlie, once this is over, you should also resign," Patricia suggested, looking at him.

Raising an eyebrow, Charlie responded with a meaningful tone, "Have you really fallen for Ellar?" "Charlie!" Patricia chided, slightly embarrassed.

"Why else would you advise me like this?" Charlie said with a smile. 'Don't worry, I can take care of myself. As long as you can have a peaceful and stable life, I'll have no regrets." "But I cant truly return to a peaceful life if I'm worried about you," Patricia admitted, biting her lip slightly.

Their missions were dangerous, and her concern was genuine.

"Stop worrying about me. Taking good care of yourself is what's most important," Charlie deflected, changing the subject. "As for your relationship with Ellar, I think you should seriously consider it. Missing out might leave you with regrets."

Charlie knew Ellar might not be very capable, but he still thought he was decent. What mattered most to Charlie was Ellar's genuine affection for Patricia and his intention to cherish her. As Patricia's brother figure, all Charlie wished for was her happiness.

"It's all just pretend," Patricia explained. "After the mission, he'll tell his parents everything...' her voice fading as she spoke.

Charlie looked at her and inquired, "It may be an act outwardly, but what about inside?"

Patricia blushed, but she replied confidently, "It's all an act, definitely." "Whether it's pretend or not, only you know," Charlie didn't push, realizing that some things required Patricia to think about and be open about.

Patricia remained silent, unsure of how to respond.

With a sigh, Charlie patted Patricia on the shoulder, his silence conveying a clear message.

"I'm going to rest," Patricia said with a clenched jaw, standing up.

Charlie nodded. "It's late, you should go."

Watching Patricia leave, Charlie shook his head gently, hoping she would come to understand her feelings sooner rather than later.

The next day was bright and sunny.

After breakfast, Tia came to pick up Nolan and Lana.

"Tia," Nolan and Lana said, hoisting their backpacks, ready to leave with Tia.

"Wait for me," Stanley quickly joined them, and they all left together.

Watching their departure, Nicole smiled and said, "Imagine Stanley and Tia getting married, having their own kids. It would be such a harmonious family scene." "Tia really knows how to take care of children. I think their kids will be well off without me worrying," Gloria said with a relieved and happy smile.
