Chapter 234 Been Gone for Seven Years
People who were whispering around heard this, and all looked at them.
Under everyone’s gaze, Imogen paused, then nodded lightly. “Liam is our friend.”
A classmate looked envious and said to Imogen, “Ms. Forbes, Charlie, could you please ask Liam for an autograph for me?”
“I want it too, please…”
“And me. I want it, too. Thank you, Charlie. Thank you, Ms. Forbes!”
“I want it too, Charlie…”
Before Imogen could speak, Charlie patted her chest and agreed. “Okay! No problem!”
“Charlie, you are so kind!”
“Thank you, Charlie!”
“Charlie, you must have a close relationship with Liam, right? He walked you here in person.”
Chad’s eyes were full of gloom.
Many classmates surrounded Charlie and talked to her.
Jenny saw this, and a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly.
Why?
Why was Charlie always more popular than her, whether among classmates or with Chad?
How was Charlie better than Jenny?
Someone else asked, “Charlie, do you know other celebrities?”
Charlie hiccupped after drinking. “Of course. Such as…”
Charlie was about to announce the stars‘ names while using her fingers to count.
Imogen interrupted her, “Charlie, are you full?”
“I am full.” Charlie changed the topic instantly. “Where is the wine? Is there any wine? I want to drink!”
“No, you can’t drink anymore. We should go back.”
“No. I want to drink!” Charlie rubbed her eyes and reached out to grab Imogen’s arm. She almost could not see clearly.
“No.” Imogen stood up, trying to pull her up. “We are going home.”
“Hey, Ms. Forbes. Charlie doesn’t want to leave. How about staying for a while?” A classmate persuaded Imogen.
Charlie raised her head and looked at Imogen with a childish expression. She pouted and said, “I won’t leave. I want to drink!”
Imogen had no choice but to bend over and whisper to Charlie, “Do you want Jenny and Chad to see you mess up after drinking?”
When she heard that she was going to lose face in front of her rival and ex–boyfriend, Charlie shook her head and stood up abruptly. “No! Let’s go home!”
“That is right!” Imogen took her by the arm, walked out, and said to others, “Charlie is drunk. We will go back first!”
Other classmates didn’t try to persuade them anymore but said, “Charlie, don’t forget Liam’s

autograph!”
“Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten!”
Imogen helped Charlie into the back seat when they arrived at the underground garage. “We will drop by the Marshall villa to pick up Grace. Sleep in the back seat for a while if you feel uncomfortable.”
Charlie said nothing.
After leaving the box, she suddenly felt a little depressed.
At night, it was dim on the road, and Imogen was concentrating on driving when she suddenly heard sobbing from the back seat.
She looked in the rearview mirror. Charlie burst into tears at some point, with tears streaming down her face.
Imogen was startled and almost forgot to step on the brake at the red light ahead. “Charlie, what is wrong?”
Imogen and Charlie were friends for so many years. It was the first time Imogen saw Charlie so sadly.”
Charlie cried and murmured, “Why did he come back… He was so determined to leave at the beginning. Why did he come back…”
Imogen didn’t interrupt.
cry
It was probably because Charlie saw Chad tonight, and it brought back the sad things many years.
ago.
Imogen didn’t talk nonsense. She knew Charlie three years ago, and Charlie never mentioned Chad in front of her, as if there was no such person.
In these three years, Charlie was happy, enthusiastic, and cheerful every time they met.
Everyone had their sadness, but Charlie chose to hide it, bury it deeply in her heart, and face life with a smile.
If it weren’t for this class reunion, that obscure experience would probably be buried in the dark corner of her heart forever.
Only then did Imogen understand why Charlie liked to collect photos of handsome men on the Internet and order male waiters to accompany her while drinking and singing, but she never fell

Perhaps Charlie never forgot Chad deep in her heart, or she was heartbroken and could no longer believe in love.
Charlie said while sobbing, “I did so much and hoped Chad would stay at that time, but he still left… It has been seven years since he left. Why did he come back?”
The trembling voice in the cry made Imogen feel sad.
She never saw Charlie feel grieved like this.
Seven years ago, that was when Charlie just stepped into university.
“Imogen, you don’t know how much I loved Chad back then… My parents wanted me to study abroad, but I couldn’t bear to leave Chad. So I persuaded my parents and stayed in the country… But, he suddenly wanted to leave… He didn’t leave any room to…”
“If he wanted to come back, then come back… But he showed off in front of me…”
Charlie muttered something behind, but the voice became smaller and smaller, and Imogen couldn’t hear clearly.
Gradually, Charlie fell asleep lying on the back seat, with tear stains on her face and murmured sometimes.
Imogen got out of the car lightly when they arrived at Marshall villa and picked Grace Imogen told Grace in advance, “Aunt Charlie fell asleep in the car. So you can take the seat tonight and don’t speak loudly in the car.”
Grace nodded obediently.
They drove into the apartment and parked in the underground garage.
Imogen woke Charlie up. “Charlie, wake up. We are home! Go home and sleep there.”
1. up.
passenger
After Imogen said that twice, Charlie finally opened one eye and yawned, with tears streaming down her face.
She squinted her eyes and looked out the car window. Her voice sounded sleepy. “Are we home?” “Yeas. Go upstairs and sleep there.”
“Okay.”
Charlie slowly came out of the car.
After entering the elevator, Charlie leaned against the wall as if she had no bones and closed her
eyes.
She looked sleepy indeed.
The elevator stopped with a “ding“.
Charlie opened her eyes and met Imogen’s worried gaze.
Charlie asked in puzzlement, “Why do you keep looking at me?”
“I am afraid you take things too hard.”
Charlie was surprised. “Take things too hard? Are you underestimating me? Only Jenny and Chad, these two pieces of junk, can make me take things too hard? You overestimate them!”
Imogen said nothing.
Imogen wondered who was crying in the car just now.
It seemed that Charlie forgot that after a sleep.
It was good to forget.
Imogen liked Charlie, who was fearless and bold.
“It is good that you don’t take things too hard, but…”
“But what?”
“However, according to Jenny’s thought, you have to find a boyfriend who is better than Chad if you want to defeat her. It can also make trash Chad regret it. Have you considered this?”
Charlie frowned and thought about it. “But, where can I find a boyfriend who is better than trash Chad?”
Chad’s academic performance was the best in their grade, and he graduated from New York High School. If he took the SAT, his grades would be top–standard. It was said that Chad did well abroad in the past few years.

Otherwise, Chad would not dare come back.
Most importantly, he was good–looking.
Those who had similar achievements were not as handsome as Chad.
Those who were almost as handsome as Chad had no achievement like him.
After thinking about it, Charlie thought of a person. “There is such a person, and that is…”
Imogen immediately asked, “Who is it?”
Charlie was silent for two seconds and said, “Dimwit.”
Imogen was speechless.
