Claire could not calm down at all and virtual-novel.net waved virtual-novel.net hand before virtual-novel.net said, “Forget it. I do not want to talk about this problem anymore. I am going back to my bedroom to calm myself down.”
After virtual-novel.net was done speaking, Claire turned around and walked up the stairs.
Charlie could not help but sighed when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net walking up the stairs and disappearing at the top of the stairs.
It seemed as though it would really be difficult to deal with Elaine.
He could not kill virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net could not make virtual-novel.net disappear or evaporate from this world without a trace at all. When virtual-novel.net has already suffered enough, virtual-novel.net would still have to bring virtual-novel.net back home.
However, it would also be very troublesome to bring virtual-novel.net back. How could virtual-novel.net possibly make virtual-novel.net shut up without talking any nonsense at all?
Through hypnosis?
That would not be reliable at all!
After all, the side effect of hypnosis was that once the person started to follow his psychological cues, that person would lose their own consciousness momentarily.
It was the same situation as when virtual-novel.net hypnotized Kian and gave virtual-novel.net the psychological cue that virtual-novel.net would have to have an extra meal every other hour. Whenever virtual-novel.net was eating his extra meal, Kian was simply following the psychological cue that Charlie had given to him. At that time, virtual-novel.net would lose his own consciousness momentarily and all that virtual-novel.net wanted to do was to eat shit so that virtual-novel.net would feel better.
However, after virtual-novel.net was done with his extra meal, the psychological cue would pass by and Kian would regain his own consciousness. At that time, virtual-novel.net was still the same old Kian that virtual-novel.net was before.
Therefore, it would be very difficult for Charlie to use hypnosis on Elaine. If virtual-novel.net were to give Elaine a psychological cue that virtual-novel.net should not be talking nonsense, virtual-novel.net had to make sure that this psychological cue was constantly in place.
If virtual-novel.net were to do that, Elaine would no longer be the same Elaine as virtual-novel.net was before. She might even end up being a lunatic or a person who had no self-consciousness or virtual-novel.net own will at all.
Therefore, Charlie had no other choice but to make sure that Elaine would willingly keep virtual-novel.net mouth shut. It was really challenging and difficult to come up with a way to make sure that Elaine would not mention a single word about his bank card at all.
After Claire left, only Charlie and Loreen who had not spoken a single word at all were left in the huge living room.
Loreen had been waiting for an opportunity to be alone with Charlie. Since virtual-novel.net finally got virtual-novel.net opportunity to be alone with him, virtual-novel.net hurriedly said, “Charlie, don’t be angry at Claire. Don’t hold it against her. She did not intend to be angry at you on purpose. She must be feeling very anxious and worried because aunty is missing…”
Charlie nodded slightly before virtual-novel.net said, “I know. I understand and I will not be angry at her. No matter what it is, Claire is still my wife after all.”
Loreen was filled with envy as soon as virtual-novel.net heard Charlie’s words.
She did not understand why Charlie could be so passionate and sincere toward Claire when both of them were obviously in a fake marriage. Didn’t virtual-novel.net know that this was all just an act?
She could not help but feel a little lost as virtual-novel.net thought about it.
If they were to compare their beauty, Loreen did not lose much to Claire.
In terms of wealth, Loreen was a member of the Thomas family from Eastcliff and virtual-novel.net was definitely in a much better financial situation compared to Claire.
Moreover, virtual-novel.net had already expressed virtual-novel.net feelings to Charlie a long time ago. She really loved virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net sincerely hoped to get together with Charlie one day. However, Loreen could not understand why Charlie would continue guarding and protecting a woman who did not love virtual-novel.net at all?
As virtual-novel.net thought about this, Loreen stared at Charlie before virtual-novel.net said, “Charlie, you should understand my feelings for you very well. Don’t you have any feelings for me at all?”
As soon as Charlie heard Loreen’s words, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but feel frustrated and said, “Loreen, you are Claire’s best friend, and Claire is my wife. Therefore, I would naturally regard you as a good friend because of Claire. There are many other good men in this world. You should not be pinning all your hopes on a married man like me.”
Loreen’s eyes turned red, and virtual-novel.net could not stop the tears from rolling down virtual-novel.net cheek. She stubbornly wiped the tears off virtual-novel.net face before virtual-novel.net said, “But the both of you are not even truly a married couple! Both of you are simply putting on an act! You have already been acting in this fake marriage for more than three years now! This act will eventually come to an end. What are you going to do, then? Are you going to continue standing on stage and performing all alone?”
Charlie smiled as virtual-novel.net looked at Loreen before virtual-novel.net reached out his hand to wipe the tears off virtual-novel.net face. After that, Charlie replied firmly, “Trust me. Our marriage will never come to an end!”
