Chapter 272 This is not how you provoke someone.

Charles saw that Luna's expression was nothing but horror when she looked at him, and he felt somewhat disappointed.

But he also understood the principle of not rushing things with Luna.

"Look how scared you are! And you call yourself a cop! I was just practicing normal couple interactions in advance so that my parents and relatives won't see through us and suspect we're faking it when we get home."

Charles had already thought of an excuse. Although he felt a bit bitter and unwilling, he was also afraid that being too forward would scare Luna away.

"Then you should have given me a heads-up! I thought you were acting crazy!"

Luna patted her chest, and Charles suppressed his frustration. How was he acting crazy? He was just showing his true feelings!

Considering that she had both criticized him and put a band-aid on him, he decided to forgive her. On the way home, while Luna got out to buy some desserts, Danniel sent him a message on Facebook.

Danniel: How long until you get here?

Charles: One hour.

After replying, Charles looked out the car window at Luna's back as she bought desserts.

As the city lights began to glow, the warm light sprinkled on her, making it seem like she was bathed in a golden glow, warm and comforting. This light could turn him into a warm person anytime, anywhere.

His gaze fell on the band-aid on his palm, and Charles smiled. He took a picture of Luna's back as she bought desserts and another of his palm. He sent the second picture to Danniel.

Danniel: [What's this?]

Charles: [I hurt my hand, and Luna put a band-aid on it.]

Danniel: [You guys made up???]

Charles: [Duh!]

Danniel: [You made up and didn't tell me? I thought I wouldn't see Luna tonight! I've been missing her like crazy!]

Charles: [My dear uncle! Don't joke about Luna! Also, Luna's parents are both deceased, so try not to bring up parents tonight. Don't mention her relatives or anything that has happened online before, either.]

[Even though she's strong and doesn't mind people bringing these things up, I want her to have a simple, happy dinner without any pressure or unpleasantness.]

After Charles sent the message, Danniel laughed in exasperation.

He thought Charles had called him "uncle" out of conscience, but it was all for Luna!

Danniel: [You're not supposed to provoke people like this! Have some decency!]

After replying on Facebook, Danniel tossed his phone aside.

He hadn't been in a hurry when Charles was single, but recently, seeing how happy Charles was, he felt he might also find someone suitable.

But at his age... It was awkward.

A forty-year-old unmarried man with no house (living in Lee Mansion, which was owned by Theodore), no car (all cars were registered under the Lee Group), no stable job (he had a medical degree and a law degree but worked as a consultant for the Lee Group because he was lazy and didn't want a full-time job, so he worked part-time), and no age advantage—he was a man with nothing.

He was probably at the bottom of the dating pool!

Forget it, he would just stay single.

Charles was so in love that he was almost losing his mind; Danniel would just continue being himself.

Luna bought some desserts for Ashley and a few onion pies.

Since neither she nor Charles had eaten lunch, they were both starving. It would take at least an hour to get to the Lee family’s suburban villa, no matter which route they took, so they decided to have a snack first.

"What smells so good?"

Charles had never even seen an onion pie, let alone eaten one.

"Onion pie, my favorite from school days. Cheap, filling, and delicious. I bought three, two for you." Luna asked for three bags to make it easier to eat separately.

"How am I supposed to eat while driving? You feed me."

What Charles saw wasn't just an onion pie but a great opportunity to get closer to Luna.
