The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1606-1610
Chapter 1606
Loreen and her cousin arrived at the ice rink before Charlie Wade and Stefanie. After half an hour of skating, they saw Charlie and Stefanie hand-in-hand. Stefanie was disguised with a mask, glasses, and a hat, but Loreen instantly recognized Charlie. She was shocked to see them so close and affectionate—far more so than she'd ever seen him with Claire. She suspected Charlie had been unfaithful, considering his consistent rejection of her affections, which she had attributed to his loyalty to Claire. Loreen believed Stefanie, whose figure suggested exceptional beauty, surpassed her and even Claire in attractiveness.
Overwhelmed, Loreen concluded that Charlie's rejection stemmed from his new love in Eastcliff. Her cousin noticed her distress and inquired. Loreen dismissed it, prompting her cousin to suggest she quit her job at the Emgrand Group and return to Eastcliff. Loreen was conflicted; her family wanted her to remain in Eastcliff and pursue a relationship with Trevor Sun, but she longed to return for Charlie. Her feelings for him ran deep; she had secretly loved him for a long time and would even accept being his secret lover. However, seeing Charlie's apparent intimacy with Stefanie shattered her hopes, leaving her envious of the unseen girl who seemed to have Charlie's full attention.
Chapter 1607
Unaware of Loreen's observation, Charlie enjoyed skating with Stefanie. A young child, skating too fast, lost control and careened toward them. Charlie reacted swiftly, pulling Stefanie out of harm's way and kicking the ice cart aside to avoid hitting the child. However, the child, still uncontrolled, continued to speed toward Loreen, who was positioned nearby but hadn't seen the initial incident. Loreen only saw Charlie embrace Stefanie, fueling her anger and suspicions. Suddenly, a dark shadow hurtled toward Loreen—the uncontrolled child.
Chapter 1608
At the critical moment, Charlie, having set down Stefanie, caught the child before she could collide with Loreen. Loreen, witnessing Charlie's heroic intervention, felt a mix of happiness and resentment. Charlie's quick action saved her, but his secret relationship with Stefanie angered her. Charlie focused on the unharmed child, ensuring her safety. The child expressed gratitude, and Charlie saw Loreen standing near.
Chapter 1609
He was surprised to see Loreen and asked why she was there. Loreen responded sarcastically, implying she had a right to be anywhere. Charlie attempted to explain the coincidence, but Loreen pointedly referenced Stefanie. Charlie tried to assure her of a misunderstanding, but Loreen threatened to reveal this to Claire. Stefanie approached and asked if Loreen was Charlie's friend. Charlie introduced Loreen as a college classmate. Stefanie, upon seeing no one else nearby, removed her mask and introduced herself, startling Loreen. Loreen recognized Stefanie Sun, a famous actress and the daughter of the Sun family chairman. She was profoundly shocked by the implication of the situation. Loreen's cousin exclaimed in recognition, but Stefanie requested discretion, leading to a brief photo opportunity. Loreen apologized for her shock.
Chapter 1610
Loreen, a fan of Stefanie's, tentatively asked about their relationship. Charlie hesitated about the best way to explain their connection without revealing his identity. Before he could answer, Stefanie stated they'd known each other since childhood. This prompted Loreen's suspicion, considering Charlie's background. To avoid revealing Charlie's true identity, Charlie explained they met years ago through Stefanie's parents' charity work at the Aurouss Hill orphanage, where they formed a brother-sister bond. Stefanie corroborated this story, and Loreen accepted the explanation. Loreen chided Charlie for never mentioning his connection to Stefanie, and Charlie responded by saying he doesn't like to show off.
