yell at him, but she held hack just to be able to leave the hospital. She simply glared at Charles with puffed cheeks and huffed
Lana wanted to yell at
“This jerk is doing it on purpose; slse wondered.
Charles thought about poking her puffed–up cheek but held back.
After all, she was like a balloon ready to burst at any moment,
Jessica was worried sick they might start a light, Just as she was about to say something, Charles said, “Let’s go.”
Jessica’s heart that had been up in her thurat finally settled hack in her chest.
It was good they didn’t end up fighting
Charles was the first to turn and walk our Lama had no choice but to follow himn
Charles led Luna and Jessica through a maze of corridors, swiping a card at the surgery elevator to access the doctors private parking an
The three of them walked up to a red Ferrari, and Charles was the first to open the driver’s side door and get in.
As soon as Charles sat down, he saw Luna reaching for the back door. He rolled down the window and said, “What? You think I’m your driver or something
Luna’s hand paused, and she glared at Charles angrily.
Is he deliberately trying to start something?” she wondered.
Hands on her hips, Luna was about to argue with Charles when she heard voices from around the corner of the parking lot. “Did Luna leave in a different car? Let’s check this side.”
Almost instinctively, Luna darted around the front of the car and yanked open the passenger–side door.
Luna closed the car door quickly, her movements smooth and fluid.
By chance, a group of fans emerged from the comer just as Luna had gotten in, mbising her entirely.
Charles couldn’t help but let a grin spread across his face, which only made Luna glare at him fiercely. “Don’t you dare laugh!”
But despite herself, a faint blush crept over the tips of her ears.
Charles felt all his earlier irritation relt away. Looking at Luna now, he couldn’t help but think she seemed a liule cute.
He glanced ahead, pretending to be serious, and nodded. “Okay, no laughing, just send me the address.”
Jessica, who was sitting in the back, watched them both, trying to stay unnoticed and be invisible.
After Luna gave the address to Charles, she sat in the passenger seat with her arms crossed, pouring silently,
Charles entered the address into the GPS, and the car slowly started moving out of the gara
As they passed the garage entrance, Luna noticed many fans standing on either side, quietly waiting for her to come out
Luna pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a headache coming on.
Tm just a film director. I don’t even need fan meet–and–greets. Why are they so enthusiastic?” she thought.
It was really starting to impact Luna’s everyday life.
On the way, Charles turned on the car’s music, and the gentle tunes helped calm Luna’s anxious heart.
Leaning back in the car seat, Luna glanced over at Charles and asked, “Don’t you have surgery today? Aren’t doctors always really busy!”
Even though Luna didn’t particularly like Charles, she had to admit he was a talented doctor
Typically, top doctors were almost always busy.
But today, it wasn’t even sunset yes, and Charles had already finished work.
Chapter 174
Charles felt a bit exasperated and sighed. “Doctors are human too, you know. I’ve been working nonstop for a week. Am I not allowed to take an early shift for once?”
He had nearly completed his major surgeries yesterday, and for the past week, he’d averaged less than four hours of sleep per night.
Sometimes, one needed to relax. Otherwise, one might work oneself to death without realizing in
At this moment. Charles could already feel some drowsiness setting in.
After dropping off Lana, he needed to catch some sleep
Luna noticed the slight dark circles under his eyes and paused for a moment. Charles really did look tired.
Charles was so focused on driving due to his tiredness that he remained silent, and Luna didn’t know what to say either.
The car remained silent.
An hour later, the car finally arrived at the parking lot of Lana’s apartment.
Charles parked the car, his eyes somewhat unfocused, and said to Luna, “We’re here. You can get out now.”
He felt like he could fall asleep at any moment.
Luna hesitated with her hand on the car door, then looked back at Charles somewhat awkwardly and said. “Hey, why don’t you take a nap at my place before you go!”
Driving while this tired could easily cause an accident.
Even though Luna wasn’t keen on Charles, she didn’t want anything bad to happen to him, especially since he had brought her home.
It didn’t seem right to just let him go like that.
Jessica’s eyes lit up as she quickly opened the car door and got out. Oh my, is this content free for me to
me to overheart she wondered.
Charles glanced at Luna, a playful smile appeared on his face, “Ms. White, if you admire my stunning good looks, you should’ve said so earlier.”
“Oh my he hissed.
In the next moment, Charles found his ear being twisted by Luna, who scolded furiously. “I’m letting you rest because you look dead tired. whining, and I’ll twist your car right off.”
That guy never says anything nice, Luna wondered
Charles clutched his car, pleading “Let go, please! It hurts. Luna, it hurts!”
She really dared to do it. This was the first time in Charles‘ life someone had pulled his ear like that
Even his dad never did that to him. At most, he’d just get a spanking.
Laina didn’t seem inclined to let go and bluntly asked, “Are you going to sleep or not?”
Tm trying to do a good thing and got completely misunderstood, Luna wondered.
Today, Luna wasn’t backing down. Charles had no choice but to go
If anything happened. Luna couldn’t handle that kind of responsibility
Seeing h her look like she might really kill him, Charles quickly caved in and, protecting her eyes, nodded frantically, “I’ll go, okay?”
Only then did Luna release his car, snort coldly, and turn to open the car door. “Let’s go.”
She said that as she was already getting out of the car.
Charles rubbed the ear Luna had pinched, gritting his teeth “Luna is way too violent, he wondered
But he was really too sleepy at this paint
Charles‘ house was far from where Luna lived. Driving back took an hour and a half, and he was struggling to stay alert
He stopped hesitating, got out of the car, and followed Luna toward the elevator.
Jessica was planning to make up an excuse to leave, but Luna grabbed her arm and insisted the stay at the apartment.
Keep

Chapter 174
Suddenly, Luna’s apartment was bustling with energy.
Charles didn’t really have the mind to overthink things. Aller Charles‘ quick rinse, Lama found him a room, and he was soon fast asleep.
As for the two women, they weren’t resting. Instead, they were in the living room.
Sining on the off–white fabric couch, Jessica was eating ice cream and looked at Luna, who was sitting next to her studying a script,
She said with a hint of disappointment. “I thought you were going to have something happen with Dr. Kessler, but you really just let him come up to sleep!”
Jessica had been by Luna’s side for many years and had never seen Luna date a guy, not even have a hint of romance,
At this age, Jessica kind of wished I uma would tall in love.
At least they
should experience the beauty of this age
Luna picked up the script and tapped it on Jessica’s head, saying irritably, “What are you daydreaming about all the time?”
1 and Charles? That’s absolutely impossible, Luna wondered.
Jessica playfully stuck her tongue out at Luna, looking so cheeky that they both couldn’t help but smile.
Luna pointed at the ice cream in Jessica’s hand and said, “Let me try that.”
Jessica quickly shook her head, rejecting the idea right away, and even hid the ice cream beside her. “No way, Dr. Kessler said you can’t have these right now
Just mentioning Charles made Luna grind her teeth.
Luna lunged at Jessica, firmly declaring. “I don’t care what he says. I’m going to cat it
Jessica held the ice cream tightly and quickly dodged.
The two of them playfully went back and forth, unable to stop laughing.
Their relationship was different from the typical celebrity and assistant. It was more like friends, warm and pleasant.
Meanwhile, night had fallen over the Riverside Villa.
