Enchanted By His Charm

"Jay. What I have said is true. You can check the narcotics squad. You will find that those men who are in the frontline are single or get divorced, while the women are all single."

Jay had to admit that it was true. Even Jim, who was now talking to him, was said to get divorced the other day. It was said that his wife couldn't stand the marriage since she could only see him several times one year, so she left him with children.

Looking at the dead photo and those crying relatives, Jay was more fretful…

The rumor about the Lake's finally disappeared.

Nobody mentioned Shirley's case again. Just during such a short time, old news was displaced by new ones, let alone those rumors without true clues.

But Shirley wasn't willing to go home but insisted on staying at the hospital.

At the very beginning, Henry persuaded her. However, later he was also annoyed, so he just let her go.

In this way, Ruby and Roy were busy looking after her. Sometimes Lilith also visited her and called Irish. She told Irish that Shirley now was very careful about everything, and the police seemed to have given up inquiring.

Irish thought it impossible to find out the criminal because all the clues were destroyed by the Lake's themselves. They caused the consequence to some extent.

Irish didn't mention Jordan to Lilith. She had her own thoughts. Actually, she didn't want Jordan to have contact with them and build a good relationship with them, especially with Ruby.

She didn't want Jordan to oppose her and help Ruby someday. Then Joseph would be in a dilemma, not her.

In the following days, Irish got along well with Jordan. Of course, it was only Irish's thoughts. Although Jordan didn't sneer at her as before, he was still indifferent towards her and didn't talk to her often. But when Irish asked him something, he would answer her immediately.

His attitude was already good, compared with that before.

One fine morning, Irish prepared to go on an outing. As she went downstairs, she heard someone knocking at the door. She walked to the hallway and opened the door. Three policemen stood in front of her. She was totally confused.

The leader showed his police card to her and said firmly, "Are you, Irish? We suspect that you have something to do with Shirley's case. Please go to the police station with us to have an investigation."

At dusk, there was only a ray of light red in the sky, and the darkness would swallow everything. The light disappeared gradually and slowly. Some dim light was cast on the lake. There was no wind now, so there were no shimmering waves on the lake.

Some would like this moment because they could reunite with their family when the light disappears. But Cassie didn't like it. The dusk was too beautiful, which meant endless darkness would come after the brilliant light. The color of the sky at this moment would make one oppressed, especially in this season; she would think of some sad memories.

Having watched the information about the company, Cassie had a video call with her parents for over ten minutes. Her parents are in Thailand now. They seemed to have a good time there. But when Cassie's mother mentioned that they saw some ladyboys on the way to Pattaya, she appeared to be a little stunned. She couldn't understand why their parents would approve of them doing this. Then Cassie explained with a smile that women tended to earn more in Thailand, but her mother still couldn't understand it. Her mother was also unsatisfied with the tour route and thought the show was unacceptable.

Cassie also thought it embarrassing for her parents to watch this kind of show.

After the video call, she looked out of the window. The light in the sky disappeared gradually. She felt so terrible. And at this moment, the phone rang. She walked beside the sofa and took it up. She then sat back on the sofa. It was from Roy. He said that he was at the foot of the apartment and asked her to go down.

Cassie was confused. She didn't know what he was doing, while Roy kept mysterious and insisted on telling her after she went down. Cassie had to follow his words.

It was windy outside and a little cold since it was nearly evening. Cassie saw Roy's car nearby. Yellow leaves fell down and swept over the open window. Roy sat in the car, and his face lit up by the light.

Seeing her down, he also went off and took out the coat on the seat for the co-pilot. He walked forward quickly and put the coat on Cassie's shoulder. He then held her shoulder and walked to the car.

Cassie's cold shoulders got warm, and her heart too. She couldn't help asking, "Where are we going?"

"You will know it," Roy answered smilingly.

Feeling strange, Cassie still went on.

The car ran towards the Manhattan District. And when they arrived there, Cassie found they were in Central Park now.

There were not many tourists at this moment. Only layers of trees' shadows were shaking under the dim light. Roy held Cassie's hands to walk into the forests gradually. Finally, they stopped at a location. Roy pointed at the sun that would set soon and said, "Look!"

She raised her head and looked in the direction he pointed.

It was a really grand sunset.

At this moment, the last ray of sunshine met with the darkness, and a unique red color appeared in the sky. The surrounding clouds were dyed with it, layers of which were just like flames, showing the most brilliant light and unleashing the beauty at life's end.

The light kept in harmony with the trees and buildings of Central Park. Such a fantastic scene!

Cassie's eyes were dyed with brightness. She watched it for a long time. And then she felt confused, "So, you bring me to see the sunset?"

"Actually, I want to say that you will see different views when you are in a different mood. Like the sunset, the happiness you feel is also different when you watch it at different places." Roy embraced her lightly from behind and watched the sunset, "For human beings, we need to expect good luck, and finally, good luck will come."
