Chapter 846 The First Official Date After Marriage 

This was the result of his beloved’s constant guidance. Back then, he was a typical macho man who had no idea how to make a girl happy.

“Is this it?”

So, just buying flowers and having a meal will do? Is it really that simple?

Charles couldn’t believe it.

Everyone online often says that pursuing and dating girls can be quite complicated, so why does it sound so simple coming from his mouth?

The assistant nodded, adopting the air of someone with experience. “By the way, Mr. Newton, during a date, it’s crucial for the guy to take the lead. For instance… initiating a kiss to show her your affection. Only then can it be considered a proper date.”

“All right. I got it. You can clock out now,”

Upon hearing that he could leave work, the assistant’s face lit up with joy, and he left with a heart full of gratitude.

As Charles approached the area where Whitney was working, he could see her from a distance, engrossed in organizing her documents.

After some thought, he decided it would be best not to disturb her.

He lingered there for a moment before turning and walking away.

In any case, this is going to be our first official date after marriage, so it should be a bit formal. I can’t be too sloppy about it.

Several uneventful days passed, which left Whitney somewhat surprised.

It’s rare for Charles not to tease me these past few days. Could it be that he realized I’d been through enough, so he decided not to torment me anymore?

In her quest to find out more, she brewed a cup of coffee and approached the door of his office. With at gentle knock, she inquired, “Mr. Newton, I’ve prepared some coffee for you. May I enter?”

Seeing that he didn’t object, Whitney pushed the door open and walked in.

“Mr. Newton, here’s your coffee,” she said.

Charles’s gaze remained unmoved, and he simply replied indifferently, “You may leave now.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Something’s wrong… Really wrong. He’s been acting rather strange since afternoon.

Whitney watched the man with suspicion as his gaze remained fixed on the computer screen.

She began, “Mr. Newton, are you…”

Upon hearing her question, Charles couldn’t help but find it a bit perplexing. He scrutinized her and asked, “Do you need something else? Have you completed all the assignments I’ve given you?”

“Go try it on, Charles. I have a feeling Whitney will love it. Just imagine, a young girl in a white dress, in a romantic restaurant, having dinner with the man she loves-it’s simply too wonderful!” she gushed.

By that point, it had become unclear who exactly was going on a date as Jasmine was thrilled beyond

measure.

With his sister’s encouragement, Charles changed into the outfit she had selected. Meanwhile, Jasmine arranged for a large bouquet of white roses, preparing to put it to good use for her brother.

As Charles emerged from the Newton residence, the large bouquet of white roses arrived at the villa just

in time.

“Charles, white roses symbolize the flower of love, and they also represent purity and beauty. Maybe you should consider—”

Without waiting for Jasmine to finish, Charles immediately declined, saying, “I’ll take care of it myself. Don’t worry, and please, don’t let her know about this.

The woman gave a knowing look and waved her hand, saying, “I wish you a smooth evening, Charles. Just make sure not to upset Whitney again!”

Following her brother’s departure from the Newton residence, Jasmine promptly disregarded his warning. and eagerly called Gwendolyn.

“Gwendolyn, I’ve got some exciting news! Charles has taken the initiative to ask Whitney out on a date!” she exclaimed.

Even though the two appeared to be a loving couple in the Newton family, I always felt there was something off about

them.

Gwendolyn, who had just finished signing a batch of documents, was twirling the pen in her hand as she teased, “Well, that’s great and all, but Ms. Jasmine, when are you going to find your own happiness? You can’t always be meddling in other people’s love lives, you know? Perhaps it’s time to focus on yourself, don’t you think?”

As soon as the conversation shifted toward herself, Jasmine quickly changed the topic, “Oh, speaking of which, how are Benny and Zendy doing lately? Have they put on weight? I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had the chance to play with them.”

Knowing that she didn’t want to continue discussing this issue, Gwendolyn didn’t press on and instead engaged in casual conversation about other things with her.

At this moment, Whitney was completely in the dark, having no idea what had happened.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Her phone was buzzing incessantly, and when she saw Charles’s number flashing on the screen, she hastily picked up and asked, “Mr. Newton, what can I do for you?”

“Let’s have dinner together tonight,” came his reply.

On the other end of the phone, Charles’ voice was calm, but his words had a profound impact on Whitney, almost causing her to drop her phone.

Let’s have dinner together? Just the two of us? Did he just ask me out? On his own volition?
