Charlie was not very bright when it came to relationships.
Even though he had been married to Claire for four years now, he had not really been in a relationship in the true sense.
He had never had any conflicts with Claire, nor had he gotten angry or quarreled with Claire. His relationship had always been very calm.
He naturally did not have any sensational love experience with the big ups and downs in his emotional experience.
However, for masters of love, which one would not have experienced countless storms and battles? For those who were experienced, they could instantly tell that Marianne had fallen for Charlie at a glance. However, Charlie was an inexperienced man. In other words, he wouldn't get the point even if the other party were to cry in front of him.
So, when he saw Marianne crying, he quickly said, "Oh, isn’t it just because your cell phone is broken? It's just a small matter. I will send you another one. Why are you crying because of that?"
Marianne was a little emotional, and she was on the verge of an emotional breakdown as she cried and said, "But... But even if you give me another one, it's not this one! I like this one!"
Charlie hurriedly said, "I know that you’re a nostalgic person, but you don't have to worry. Your cell phone can still be repaired even if it’s broken. You simply have to replace the back cover."
Having said that, Charlie looked at the time and said, "Oh, it might be a bit late now, though. Why don't you take it to the shop to be repaired early in the morning tomorrow? They can repair it very quickly in the morning if they have the accessories and parts for it. It doesn't matter if they do not have the accessories and parts for it. I will buy another one for you and disassemble it so that you can use it for spare parts, okay?”
Marianne could not control her sadness, but she did not dare to say what was truly on her mind. So, she could only cry aggrievedly as she said, "All I want is this cell phone... This is the original cell phone... It would not be this cell phone anymore if you changed the back cover..."
Charlie was helpless and so, he could only persuade, "Why don't I buy you a cell phone casing to cover up the back of your cell phone, then? Anyway, your cell phone glass back cover is broken, but the cell phone itself is not broken. You can avoid getting cut by the broken glass if you use a cell phone casing, and it will not hinder you from continuing to use this cell phone."
Marianne was still crying, and she was speechless at this time. Charlie sighed and said, "Oh, Miss Marianne dropped her cell phone, and she started crying like this after that. I cannot seem to comfort her."
Kathleen looked at Charlie and asked in disbelief, "This is all because you dropped your cell phone? Are you sure that Mr.
Wade did not say something to make you angry?"
Charlie hurriedly said determinedly, "I'm sure it's because she dropped her cell phone."
Having said that, Charlie hurriedly said," Miss Marianne's cell phone fell on the ground just now, and her cell phone back cover broke. I meant to buy her a new one, but she said that she only wanted this one. I said that she could replace her cell phone's back cover, but she said that she wanted the original one. I said that I could buy a cell phone case for her, but she still did not want it. I don't know how else to persuade her..."
