Master Charlie Was Tricked By A Woman

York Charlie has no answer, he remembers everything from back then, and still has occasional nightmares until now, but there are a lot of things that won’t come to fruition just because he wants to change them.

He was silent, and his expression slowly returned to the cold time he, his eyes looked to nowhere, his thin lips tightly closed.

Seeing him like this, Blanche Capra felt angry, she gave him a chance to explain, and this is how he responded to her expectations.

It seemed the rumors about him were true, and so was what that crazy woman Shireen Miller had said.

Blanche Capra was so angry she couldn’t breathe, and while he was lost in thought, she wrenched her hands away from him and turned her back on him and was about to leave, “Since you can’t answer that, don’t be so bold as to tell me that you haven’t done anything wrong to me.”

“Where are you going?”

“Where I go has nothing to do with you at all.”

Blanche Capra was about to leave when she realized the door was locked, she was furious and sarcastic as she unlocked it, “I bet you came back here so early just to lock me in so I wouldn’t hear anything.”

“I didn’t mean anything like that.” As the words fell out of her mouth, her hands were encircled as York Charlie wrapped his arms around her and forced her to turn around to face him squarely again, “I thought you said you wanted to hear me explain. You stay and I can say some of it.”

Some?

“The Brandi thing.”

Blanche Capra was like a cat with a blow-up that had been soothed by its owner and had instantly gone docile; York Charlie had really eaten her up and wouldn’t let her leave him no matter what.

Carrying her over to the couch to sit, York Charlie still had her sitting on his lap, his hand entwined with hers, stroking, playing with it, then clasping it tightly.

“Back when I was a high school student as well and had to carry some of my family’s burdens, you – Brandi’s presence was like finding a ray of light in the darkness for me, and it was Brandi who held me up when I felt like life was weighing me down. ” York Charlie bowed his head as he gave her hand a kiss.

It would have been impossible for someone like him, who didn’t like to show his emotions and feelings, to reveal his state of mind to an outsider, but because the other person was Blanche Capra, he could.

It was also something new for Blanche Capra, it was the first time he had ever volunteered details of his time with Brandi – they had been as green and blushing as a normal high school couple.

“As you said Brandi cherished every moment with me, and so did I. I was careful, as much as I could, to not be so brooding and withdrawn, and I didn’t want Brandi to leave me if she couldn’t accept my personality.” York Charlie elaborated, his steady voice suddenly became so soft at this point, “I love Brandi, I love her more than anyone.”

“If that’s true, then why did you do that to her? Do you realize that her heart was almost dead at the time? No, her heart was ripped out for you.”

“Blanche calm down and listen to me, I never expected things to go that way, I thought everything would go well.” York Charlie really didn’t think things through enough at the time, this he admitted.

Blanche Capra got off of him, she left the balcony door open, the cold wind poured in, Blanche Capra had the wind at her back, it ruffled her hair, she looked so fragile and as if she was unbreakable.

“You didn’t think about it, but you were in THE Charlie family, there’s no way you didn’t know what the previous generation was planning, let alone that you were already running the company by then.”

“Yes, I know.” York Charlie dropped his eyes, his head aching vaguely as the memory that had been buried for so long floated up all at once, catching him off guard.

Blanche Capra thought she was close to the truth, and she felt scared, scared that the man in front of her was really the one behind all the mishaps back then, and that she was in love with him.

“If you knew, why didn’t you do anything? I’m not asking you to help THE Russell Group, which was already devastated and shaken at the time, I’m just asking you to save THE Russell family, with Brandi.”

“Blanche, I don’t know if you can understand that. There are things that I’ve tried everything in my power to stop them from happening, but there was nothing I could do about it at the time, and I didn’t want to stand by and watch the people I love suffer.” York Charlie’s voice trembled a little, I don’t know if it was from the cold wind or because he was overly emotional.

It wasn’t that easy for him to take all that stress on his own back then, but he didn’t even mention it.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The past was something he didn’t want to look back on at all, and it was enough that Blanche Capra was by his side now.

“It’s going to be winter now, it’s cold, close the door.” York Charlie walked over to her and closed the door behind him, he wrapped his arms around her and warmed her up, she was wearing just a liner skirt and her arms were blowing raw.

“Can you not be mad at me now that I’ve finished?”

He thought it was settled.

But Blanche Capra still had a lot of unanswered questions, and she asked him, “You were in THE Charlie family, you should have known what was going to happen next with THE Russell Group, and you were still dating Brandi at the time, right, and you didn’t tell her anything, which I understand. What I’m asking is, did you feel guilty about Brandi afterward or something?”

And for her? And with what kind of feelings about being with her?

York Charlie hadn’t expected Blanche Capra to ask that, and all at once he felt as if he’d been given a scar, and the pain was compounded by the panic brought on by the shame.

Blanche Capra’s eyes flashed, and she sensed that his heart was flustered by the question.

York Charlie could actually panic, Blanche Capra thought amused.

Did his panic mean that he’d really dated Brandi to the end out of guilt, and that was why he’d been so desperate the day they’d broken up, because there were no feelings left?

And how much of that was love for her?

“You don’t have to answer me.” Leaving a cold sentence behind, Blanche Capra pushed him away and broke free from his embrace as she turned to pull on her tunic and prepare to leave.

It could be that fate meant for them to be entangled like this, and no matter how many times Blanche Capra pushed him away, York Charlie would embrace her once more-he wouldn’t let her go.

Blanche Capra turned her back to him and suppressed her exhale as best she could, her tears taking her breath away.

If she’d known this would be the answer, she never should have asked in the first place.

York Charlie’s voice rang in her ear, “I’m sorry, I just didn’t react, of course I love Brandi, the guilt … is there too.”

“I said I know, that’s enough.” Blanche Capra wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, her shoulders shaking slightly, still holding back.

York Charlie rested his chin against her shoulder and asked carefully, “I’ve told you everything about me and Brandi, and I’ve always owed something to Brandi, and I didn’t try to deny it.”

“I just want to ask you, can you still forgive me?”

That tone was careful, with pleading, and fear, it wasn’t at all like the usual cold as iceberg York Charlie, it was even a bit like Brandi back then.

All York Charlie wanted was a nod, even if Blanche Capra had to add a lot of strings attached afterward, to beat him and scold him, he could accept it, he was willing to indulge her temper.

As long as she was willing.
