Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 406: Bonnie was enthusiastic to leave, and Austen seemed to pick up on her discomfort but remained silent as they drove away. Bonnie's thoughts swirled as she debated whether or not to tell Nyla about the encounter. The last thing Nyla wanted was to face Ethan. If Bonnie shared the news, would it change everything? Her thoughts tangled further. Arriving back at the house, Bonnie walked upstairs with Nyla, intent on helping her unpack. Austen stayed in the living room to entertain Charlotte.

"Nyla, back at the restaurant..." Bonnie started hesitantly, holding a piece of clothing, her expression conflicted. "Didn't Charlotte go to the restroom?" Nyla sensed something was wrong and looked concerned. "You've been acting oddly. What happened? Is Charlotte okay?" Bonnie steadied herself with a deep breath. "Please, stay calm. I took Charlotte to the restroom, and she encountered Ethan. From what Charlotte mentioned, she's already interacted with him." Nyla's clothes slipped from her grip and tumbled to the floor. "You mean... Charlotte has met Ethan?" Nyla's mind momentarily blanked.

How had their paths crossed? Could Ethan have uncovered something? Impossible. Charlotte had only recently returned to the country. Furthermore, all past records had been destroyed, and Ethan had not sought her out in all these years. How could he possibly know about Charlotte? Still, Nyla couldn't suppress her rising fear. She slumped onto the bed, and Bonnie quickly supported her. "Nyla, it's fine. Ethan couldn't possibly know Charlotte is his daughter. If he had, he would have reached out already. Charlotte saw Ethan at the airport, but he didn't show any sign of recognition.

It's likely just a coincidence. You know how Charlotte gravitates toward handsome men; she can't help herself. Ethan is quite attractive, so it's natural for her to have approached him." Nyla's tension eased as she listened to Bonnie's reassuring words. "I'm okay." g Ɐ ln σ ν s․com, home to the best fiction "It's quite shocking, isn't it? Who would have thought Charlotte would bump into Ethan? Ulares is such a large city, yet their paths crossed. It feels almost weird," Bonnie said, still bewildered. "We can't do much about it.

It was inevitable that they would meet eventually," Nyla replied, having accepted this possibility upon her return. Should their paths cross, she was prepared to stand her ground. Even if Ethan discovered Charlotte was his daughter, Nyla would not lose her. Charlotte was her child, whom she had raised alone from birth. She would stand firm. "Has Charlotte ever asked about her father?" Bonnie cautiously asked after a pause. Nyla shook her head. "No." There had been a moment, during a high fever, when Charlotte had deliriously asked why she didn't have a father. Nyla had remained silent.

Charlotte was highly sensitive to the emotions of others. The moment she sensed any hint of displeasure, she would instantly become so obedient that it tugged at Nyla's heart. "Charlotte is just too sensitive," Bonnie said. "Yes," Nyla replied, her agreement clear. . . .
