When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 1677 Pretending To Be His Girlfriend

I like Calvin? A sense of absurdity washed over Eric. "Dad, are you joking? I'm as straight as they come. How could I possibly like him?"

Upon seeing Calvin's face, he was immediately repulsed, let alone the thought of liking him.

Eric would rather be dead if he had to spend every day with Calvin.

After hearing that, Calvin silently picked up his water glass and took a sip. "Mr. Palmer, you heard everything, didn't you? You misunderstood."

The weight that had been burdening Alan's heart finally lifted.

However, after a moment's thought, he stepped in front of Eric again. "So, who do you actually like? Or are you saying you don't have anyone you're fond of? If that's the case, why not give that girl your uncle introduced a chance?"

Once again, Eric was being urged to get married. This time, it was even happening at home.

Eric was truly distressed, unsure of what to do next.

Right then, Charlotte came over to gossip. Immediately, Eric pointed at her and said, "Dad, she's the one I'm in love with."

Charlotte was leaning against the door when she was suddenly confessed to, leaving her momentarily stunned. "Huh?" Eric likes me? What kind of joke is this? I'm already Sven's woman. How can I possibly accept him? Although he's quite handsome, I can't be fickle, can I?

"Mr. Palmer..." Charlotte was about to explain when suddenly, Eric swiftly walked over, flashing her a meaningful look.

His intention was clear. Eric was hoping that Charlotte could help him appease Alan.

Upon seeing his pleading look, Charlotte found it difficult to expose him. So, she courteously responded to Alan, "Hello, Mr. Palmer.

Alan sized up Charlotte. She's a charming young lady, indeed a girl.

His eyes were almost brimming with tears as he asked, "Miss, what's your name?"

"My name is Charlotte Talbot," replied Charlotte.

Elders of Alan's generation had a particular fondness for those who looked as adorable and well-behaved as Charlotte.

"Excellent. Why don't you come over

to our place for dinner after work today? I'll have my wife cook. What do you fancy? I'll ask her to prepare your favorite dish," Alan said, his gaze fixed on Charlotte. This girl seems quite nice, far better than those female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

"Huh? That's not "

"Lottie, just agree to it. If you don't go, my parents will definitely be worried." Eric gave her another pleading look.

Charlotte felt like she was the unluckiest person alive. If she had known, she wouldn't have let her curiosity get the better of her.

"Fine."

Charlotte had initially planned to go back and have a barbecue with Sven that day, but it seemed like their plan would have to wait until tomorrow.

"I'll head back first to get things ready while waiting for you to come over," Alan said, leaving cheerfully.

As he walked, he didn't forget to call his wife, sharing the good news with her.

Once he was out of sight, Charlotte immediately turned to Eric. "Mr. Palmer, what are you trying to do? I have a boyfriend now, you know."

"When did you get a boyfriend?" Eric asked, puzzled.

"Not too long ago. You really need to make things clear with your parents. I can't be part of your act." Charlotte believed it was wrong to deceive the

elderly.

A sense of awkwardness washed over Eric. "I honestly didn't know you had a boyfriend. Here's what we can do. Help me out just this once, please. Once we're done with dinner, I'll figure out a way to tell my parents that we've broken up."

Calvin sat to the side, quietly observing the spectacle unfolding between the two individuals.

He cleared his throat softly. "Have you guys finished your discussion? If not, please take it outside. I still have work to do."

"How petty." Eric glared at him before dragging Charlotte away.

After Charlotte left, Eric made a promise. As long as she lent a hand, he would take care of all her lunches for the next year.

"Really?" Charlotte's eyes sparkled. "Can I eat anything I want?"

"Of course."
