Chapter 68 Does She Want to Cripple Him?
Charles stood up, still feeling a dull ache in his lower abdomen.
Luna really didn't hold back when she kicked him!
If he hadn't reacted quickly and stepped back, he probably wouldn't have been able to get up for a while.
Did she want to cripple him?
Despite his aversion to falling in love, believing it rendered individuals foolish and oblivious, it did not preclude his desire to become a well-rounded individual.
Charles was furious after being kicked, but he couldn't kick back, so he stormed back to his room, slamming the door loudly.
Luna pouted at his back.
'What woman can tolerate such an arrogant and picky man!'Luna thought.
The next morning, Luna left a note for Charles before heading to work.
Following the steps on her note, Charles made corn pancakes for Eric.
Charles had never thought corn pancakes could be so delicious.
Initially abstaining, Charles eventually succumbed to temptation upon witnessing Eric's hearty indulgence in three servings, which inevitably led him to savor a single bite, promptly ensnared by the exquisite flavor.
The pancakes weren't dry at all and were filled with the fresh sweetness of corn.
The seasoning she used was just right.
"Charles, I wasn't lying to you, right? Aren't they delicious? Eating this in the morning won't make you feel greasy, and it fills you up."
Eric said as he put a fifth pancake into his mouth.
Charles also ate three. He rarely ate such a full breakfast.
After arriving at STF and sitting down, Luna barely left her desk except for lunch and bathroom breaks.
She spent the entire day busy with trivial tasks.
She even worked overtime in the evening, waiting for community volunteers to arrive before she could leave, as they were trying to contact the family of an elderly Alzheimer's patient who had gone missing.
By the time she walked out of the police station, it was already dark.
Luna was about to walk home when a silver sports car pulled up by the roadside, Evelyn stepped out.
"Luna."
Evelyn raised her hand to greet Luna.
Evelyn's smile was sweet with dimples，making her look pure yet charming.
Nevertheless, she was attired rather scantily, adorned in a three-quarter sleeve ivory dress elegantly complemented by coordinated high heels. Her cascading, gently undulating locks framed her delicate and porcelain features. While offering a wave of greeting, an inadvertent reveal of a scar on her wrist occurred.
Luna's gaze delicately averted from the scar on her wrist, evidently a stark reminder of a past self-harming episode.
"Hello, Ms. Neleson."
Luna walked over and greeted Evelyn naturally.
Evelyn hugged her arms, looking a bit cold, which made her appear even more delicate and pitiful.
"The previous issue has been resolved, and those people have apologized and compensated. I came specifically to thank you. I know you can't accept gifts, so I want to treat you to a meal. Please don't refuse me."
Evelyn spoke earnestly and sincerely.
Seeing her dressed so lightly, Luna didn't want to keep her waiting in the cold wind and gestured for her to get in the car first.
"Let's talk in the car. You're so thin. Don't catch a cold."
"Okay."
Evelyn agreed with a sweet smile. She looked like a soft and cute girl, making it hard to associate her with someone who would go crazy for love.
Upon entering the car, Luna initially contemplated informing Evelyn of preexisting commitments for the evening, suggesting a rain check for their dinner arrangement. She harbored the sentiment that fulfilling her obligations earlier that day was merely a responsibility, deeming unnecessary any gesture of a meal on Evelyn's part.
Just as she got into the car, Evelyn received a phone call. Whatever was said on the call, Evelyn's expression changed instantly after hanging up.
The next moment, she suddenly started the car, floored the gas pedal, and the car shot forward.
Before Luna could inquire about the situation, Evelyn suddenly veered the sleek silver sports car to a stop in front of a Rolls-Royce, strategically parked in close proximity to the police station.
