Chapter 1639
“Do you want to take Kya back to Oakdale City after resigning?” The man asked in a calm tone.
“I haven’t decided yet.”
Charlie signed the letter of resignation, and the pen tip paused momentarily on the paper, pressing down with force
as if he intended to penetrate the paper.
He handed the resignation letter towards Emily. There was an indiscernible darkness in handsome face, and his
gaze was deep and mysterious. “Take care!
Emily nodded slowly, felt a lump in her throat, “You too, thank you for taking care of me during this time.”
She took the resignation letter, turned and walked out. Her back seemed to bear a heavy burden, but she walked
steadily, without looking back. Charlie watched her figure disappear behind the door, and in that moment,
something in his heart vanished along with her.
In a evening, Charlie had a social engagement and when he left, he was already somewhat drunk.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was already eleven o’clock at night. Kent, who was driving, respectfully asked, “Mr. James, are we heading back
to the old mansion?”
Charlie gazed at the bustling nighttime scenery outside the car window. The lights reflected in his half-drunk eyes,
casting an emptiness deep within.
After a moment, Charlie spoke in a hoarse voice, “Take me to the Royal Mansion,”
Kent acknowledged and drove in the direction of the Royal Mansion.
Half an hour later, they arrived. Kent knew that Charlie was in bad mood and had been drinking heavily, so he got
out of the car to help him, intending to support him.
“No need!” Charlie pushed away Kent’s hand, his steps still steady. “I can make it on my own.”
He took the elevator to go upstairs and entered his bedroom. Turning on the light, Charlie stood there and his chest
ached with emptiness.
He had once imaged that one day he would bring Emily back here, but in the end, he failed to make it happen.
Walking towards the guest room, he pushed the door ajar. A trace of deep pain flickered in his eyes.
Inside the room, there was a huge Blythe doll and more than a dozen Lego castles.
They were all assembled during the years when Emily left.
Ever since Emily had left, it seemed that he had developed a fondness for constructing these Lego castles. Every
late night, he would sit here, slowly piecing together the castles, trying to filled the emptiness in his heart.
As the final castle was assembled, he suddenly understood something.
Emily’s castle had been shattered, her sense of home had vanished. An determination grew in his heart that he
wanted to provide her with a castle that could shelter her from the storms of life, to give her the sense of belonging
she had lost.
These dozen castles, composed of thousands upon thousands of tiny bricks, were all his yearning for her, stacked
together and crafted into the home he wished to offer her.
The castle was now complete, and he had waited for her return, but she did not love him!
She did not desire what he had given her!
Charlie sat on the floor, gazing at the castles, and a wave of pain surged from the depths of his heart, enveloping

This must be his punishment from his past actions of treating love as a game and never taking it seriously. That’s
why today he found himself in the torment of loving deeply but never being loved in return.
Perhaps it was a mistake for the two of them to meet. He was a playboy, ill-suited for committed relationships. And
she had only encountered so many troubles because of him.
Charlie looked at the prince and princess atop the castle, recalling the wedding ceremony Kya had once organized
for the princess, his heart ached even
more.
If the princess didn’t love the prince, the castle would only become a prison, not a comforting home.
With that, he was willing to let go, to stop bothering her
As long as she found happiness, that was enough!
Charlie separated the princess from the prince, placing her in a wider space outside the castle.
His heart felt empty, but with that, it came a sense of resignation.
Charlie stood up, closed the door, and walked away. He would leave these castles remain here, but from now on, he
knew he would never return.
