passion distracts from pain

At 8:00 PM...

Charlie had just arrived at the mansion with Angelica, along with Roger and Kate. He rested in the living room, instructing the guards to take turns monitoring the situation.

"Renee is still spending time with Hans and her family. So, I think I'll stay here to help you with everything," Kate said.

"No..." Angelica immediately shook her head.

Everyone glanced at Angelica.

"You better go back to the apartment. You've already helped us a lot, so you need to rest... or maybe spend time with Roger," Angelica said, glancing at Roger. "You haven't celebrated Christmas together because you helped us. So, don't sacrifice for us again," she continued.

"Angel, we did it because we care and love you. It's not fair if we have fun while you don't," Kate replied, sitting next to Roger.
