Chapter 237 We Are Not Fellow Travelers
"You said I give you the feeling of an iceberg? Why do you say that?"
Charles looked at Luna in confusion.
He wanted to ask if she thought he was very impressive.
And he felt a strange sense of delight in his heart.
Luna pursed her lips and smiled, then said slowly, "Yeah, an iceberg feels cold and chilly."
Luna meant that Charles usually gave off a cold and domineering vibe. Sometimes, even when the atmosphere was already tense, his aura would only become more powerful and cold. If that wasn't an iceberg, what was?
Charles fell silent.
Charles took a deep breath, his mouth twitching slightly. The next moment, he said with a somewhat helpless tone, "Then I'll try to be a summer iceberg from now on."
Luna smiled but didn't respond.
She just took it as a joke and a casual chat.
But Charles was very serious.
"I'm very serious."
He had never been in a relationship, and no one around him dared to show off their love in front of him, as he would consider it unprofessional. No one had the guts to discuss emotional topics in front of him, so he really didn't understand, but he was genuinely sincere.
Luna found his innocence in this aspect somewhat cute.
Charles's face also tightened.
He was a businessman, focused on profit, but never forgetting his roots.
The Lee Group had come this far, and every decision was crucial, so he was destined not to be a person who loved everyone. He would never break his promises.
But he was also not promiscuous and had no interest in chasing female celebrities. The people around him had to be those he found agreeable.
He wouldn't take the initiative because, for the past twenty years, he had been content with the status quo, comfortably being the heir of the Lee Group. So he didn't want to spend time and energy on dating.
Now, he only wanted to be Luna's support, available whenever she needed him.
"Luna, why don't we continue our cooperation? If it doesn't work, we can try a one-year term, longer or shorter, whatever works for you. You can take care of Eric, and I won't have to be pressured by Ashley to go on blind dates. Think about it."
Charles couldn't help but speak his mind.
Luna hesitated for a moment, then calmly said a sentence that Charles would remember for a long time and couldn't get over.
"I think we're not on the same path."
We're not on the same path... The shock this sentence brought to Charles was unimaginable.
It was something he knew deep down, but Luna said it out loud.
Clearly, she hadn't fallen in love with him. Not love, not even like.
And he was destined to be the one who fell first and got hurt.
Charles suppressed his inner turmoil and asked in a low voice, "So, you mean you guys are still going to move out?"
At this moment, his heart was racing. He longed for her response, yet he was afraid to hear it.
Luna looked at him with sincere and clear eyes.
"To be honest with you, I never thought in my past life that one day I would have a flash marriage with a stranger and live under the same roof. I still can't adapt to it, and I might never adapt in the future. So..."
"Alright! Stop! Let's not talk about this topic for now. Actually, I haven't figured out the future either."
Charles suddenly panicked, raising his hand to signal Luna to stop talking. The next moment, he quickly hugged Luna.
It seemed that only this hug could stop his uncontrollable panic.
He was really scared.
Luna's calmness highlighted his panic vividly.
