Chapter 216
As soon as Tiffany left, the guest room door opened from the inside.
Charles raised an eyebrow at the man standing at the door. "Were you really sleepwalking?"
Vincent lightly glanced at him. "I've been emotionally unstable lately. Perhaps I'm under too much pressure at work."
Charles laughed. "You'd only be able to trick Tiffany. Don't try to lie to me. Tell me, how did you two spend last night?"
Hearing that, Vincent was a little speechless. "Didn't you promise her not to tell me?"
Charles shrugged. "I only promised her not to tell you that she came out of your room. What I'm asking now is how you two got along. These are two different things."
"I don't remember."
Charles squinted. "But you slept with her. Shouldn't you take responsibility?"
After staying silent for a moment, Vincent replied, "You're right."
Charles was confused. "I've never known what it was about Kelly that you like. It'd make more sense for you to have a crush on Tiffany. Kelly has been in your company for more than a year. If you had feelings for her, you would've made her your girlfriend long ago. You wouldn't have waited until now."
"What did you say?" Vincent abruptly looked up.
Charles was stunned for a moment. "I said, if you had feelings for Kelly, you would've made her your girlfriend long ago. You wouldn't have waited until now—" "The sentence before that!"
"...I've never known what it was about Kelly that you like?"
"Not this!" Vincent looked like he was going to hit Charles, making him a little afraid.
"It'd make more sense for you to have a crush on Tiffany-"
"You're right!" Vincent's eyes sparkled as he reached out to pat Charles' shoulder heavily. "This is the problem! I should've figured it out earlier!"
"What?" Confused, Charles scratched his messy hair. "Are you crazy? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Vincent smiled at him. "You're right. There might be something wrong with my brain!"
Otherwise, he would not have taken so long to figure out such a simple thing. Charles was rendered speechless.

The breakfast at the Stewart residence was great. Tiffany met Mandy's father, Shane Stewart, at the dinner table.
He was a businessman with a shrewd and majestic appearance in the business world. But in the Stewarts, he was only a loving father.
He would peel shrimp for Mandy, pay attention to what his children said, and respond to everything.
Tiffany's eyes welled up with tears as she envied this sort of atmosphere at home. When she turned her head, she noticed Vincent was looking at her intently. She couldn't help but wonder if Charles had told him something.
But when She turned to look at
Charles, he just gave her a friendly smile and secretly winked at her. He seemed to be saying that he had kept his promise and didn't say anything to Vincent. novelbin
Suddenly, shrimp appeared on her plate. Tiffany looked up and saw Claudia taking back the spoon.
She smiled at Tiffany. "You're our guest, so I peeled a few for you too."
Tiffany was surprised. "Thank you, Mrs. Stewart."
Although it was just shrimp, she felt so moved that she wanted to cry.
Charles smiled. "You're amazing, Tiffany. My mother has never peeled shrimp for me."
With a gentle gaze on Tiffany,
Claudia said, "I don't know why, but I feel a sense of familiarity when look at Tiffany. It feels like I've known her for a long time.
Upon hearing that, Mandy said, "Mom, you and Tiffany said the same thing. She also mentioned that you seemed familiar, as if she had seen you somewhere before
As soon as she said that, the dining room fell into silence.
