If I thought his feelings were real for Charlie I'd be open to there being other reasons for him taking that amount, but I haven't "felt" anything behind the words he's said to her (extending my dislike for him as I think he's playing a game with someone's emotions). I guess we'll never know for sure but I personally think he's looking at this whole thing financially and making as much from it as possible at anyone's expense from various things he's said throughout the series - he'd probably marry Charlie for an OK magazine payout!
Anyway, enjoy your day! I'm going to carry on with my Holiday in New York now the lady has woken up!
