Chapter 1212

Charlie stopped playing with his toys, and slowly said. "Your Grandmas got it wrong, kiddo Your Mom and Dr Martin aren't going to be happy together"

"Why?" Kya's big eyes looked at Charlie with innocence

Charle smiled, "They're just not a good fit"

Kya looked a bit confured, she then asked, "What about you and Mom. Uncle Charlie? Are you a good fr?"

Being caught off guard, Charlie paused, and a hint of sadness fashed in his eyes. He chuckled lightly, "Nah, we're not edher because your Mom doesn't dig me kiddo

If you were nicer to Mom, the might like you" Kya innocently suggested

Charlie snorted lightly. 1 don't give a hoot whether she likes me of not, as long as you do, that'

Kya patted his shoulder, speaking like an adult. TI put in a good word for you to Mom."

Charlie teased her, "What're you planning on saying?

Kya thought for a moment. Til tell Mom, If you like Uncle Charlie, he will buy you cookies.

Charle burst out laughing at this, bending over in laughter

Emily came in seeing the adult and child sitting on the carpet. She didn't know what Kya had said, but it had Charlie cracking up

Emily paused, she hadn't seen Charlie laugh like that in a long time

Seeing her, Charlie's laughter slowly faded.

"Mom Kya shouted, "Uncle Charlie said if you like him, he'll buy you cookies?

Emily's eyes widened in surprise, "What?"

Charlie was speechless

Emily quickly explained. "Kya is still young, she may not fully understand what adults say Don't mind her, Mr. James"

Charlie glanced at her, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, "I think Kya understands more than you do❞ Emily was taken aback.

Charlie frowned at her, "What's up?"

Emily came back to her senses, and quickly said, "It's almost lunchtime, do you have any plans, Mr. James?"

Charlie answered nonchalantly. "Nope"

"So, should I cook or order takeout?"

"Cook"

"Okay"

After Emily answered, she turned to leave

Looking at Emily's retreating figure, Kya shook Charlie's hand, "Didn't we agree to make Mom like you? Why are you still being grumpy with her?"

Charlie chuckled, I'm not being grumpy, just giving orders"

Kya suggested, "How about we help Mom cook?"

Charlie thought for a moment, "Okay, for your sake, I'll give her a hand"

Kya nodded happily.

Emily was taking out ingredients from the fridge to cook. Seeing Charlie and Kya coming over, she quickly said, "It's not ready yet. Can you please look after Kya a little longer, Mr. James?" Kya immediately chuckled, "Mom, Uncle Charlie and I are here to help you cook!"

Emily quickly shook her head, "No need, I can handle it myself."

Charlie didn't say anything more. He rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his lean arms, picked up a vegetable, and asked Emily, Does this need washing?"

ashit

Emily panicked, 11 wash it."

"Just tell me what to do next? Charlie asked impatiently

Emily bit her lip lightly, First wash it clean, then peel it."

Charlie responded with a curt "Hmm," then turned to wash the vegetable

Kya tugged at Emily's clothes, "Mom, I want to help toor

Emily handed her a few vegetables to wash
