However, seeing how nervous he was actually calmed Tess down a bit. Her stress melted away, and she chuckled.

“You look so full of life–like your real self.”

The second Charles heard that, his ears turned bright red, but his hair kind of hid it.

“I’ll get your suitcase!”

He jumped to change the topic and hurried to grab it, eager to help out.

Tess did not stop him. Honestly, with how flustered he was, she figured if she did not give him something to do, he would probably panic.

She handed him the handle and said a soft thank

you.

Charles grinned and mumbled that it was nothing.

Tess sat down on the couch with Layla in her arms, but then she noticed something–those divorce papers she had left on the coffee table were gone.

Did she

put

them somewhere else?

She frowned, got up, and searched around but could not find them anywhere.

It was not until Charles came back after putting away her suitcase that Tess asked him, “Hey, Charles, did you see the divorce papers I left here?”

She looked up–only to see that the messy, cute, awkward Charles from before had disappeared.

Now he was wearing a neat white shirt, and his hair was styled perfectly.

Tess’s lips twitched. She had not expected him to clean himself up so fast.

“What’s with the outfit?”

She could not help but laugh.

Hearing her teasing, Charles’s ears, which had just cooled down, turned red again–this time. all the way up to the tips, impossible to hide without messy hair.

Tess caught it and pressed her lips together to hide her smile..

It was clear Charles really cared about how he looked around her.

However, Tess understood. She was just a guest he had kindly taken in. No one wants to look sloppy in front of a guest.

So she told herself not to overthink it and did not stare at him for too long.

She turned her eyes away at the exact moment that flicker of disappointment crossed Charles’s eyes–so she did not see it at all.

“Divorce papers?” Charles asked.

Charles had pulled himself together and took the lead, asking first.

“Yeah.”

Tess nodded.

The second she said that, Charles’s face looked a bit weird.

Tess frowned. “What’s up?”

“Did you check your nightstand? I think I put them in your room last time …‘

Tess’s eyes widened. “What?”

An awkward silence fell over them, only broken by Layla’s sudden crying.

”

Tess quickly snapped out of it and went to make a bottle, while Charles, with her okay, turned her whole room inside out looking for the

papers.
