Chapter 1864
As for those who were in the same generation as Charlie, they all would normally be greeted as Master and Miss.On the phone, Carmen spoke with a snobbish tone. She opened her mouth and asked, “Isaac, are you in Aurous now?” Isaac hurriedly answered respectfully, “Yes, Miss. I’m in Aurous now.” Carmen hummed, then continued, “Book a presidential suite at Shangri-la Hotel for me tomorrow. After that, you can arrange for transportation to pick me up from the airport. I will fly over there in the morning.” Whenever Carmen traveled, she would usually board a private airplane. So, the departure time was not fixed. If she was able to wake up early, then she would depart earlier. Likewise, if she woke up late, then she would depart later.As soon as Isaac finished hearing her words, he asked in surprise, “Miss, you’re coming over to Aurous?! Are there any other preparations that you’d like me to get ready for you?” Carmen opened her mouth and asked, “What has Charlie been doi

Upon hearing Charlie’s question, Isaac was puzzled too. “Master Wade, to be honest with you, I don’t really know much about your aunt. In fact, with my status, it’s difficult for me to have any direct contacts with the Wade family. Stephen has more contacts with them. Maybe you may want to give him a call?” Charlie shook his hand, then said calmly, “Forget about it, it’s pointless to call him. There’s always a solution to a problem. I’ll act accordingly when I see her.” Isaac then asked, “So, are you having a meal with your aunt tomorrow?”Charlie nodded his head, “I’m going. Let me know when she’s fixed the time. You don’t have to send me there, I’ll go there by myself.” “Noted!” Charlie thought of his aunt’s younger self. In his impression, his aunt was a rather mean woman. When he was five, his aunt married the master of an elite family from Eastcliff and she had given birth to a son. Since then, Charlie had no further updates about his aunt. Charlie asked Isaac, “Is

Charlie laughed and said, “I wanted to give you a surprise!”After he spoke, Claire ran up to him and leaped into his arms.For the past few days when Charlie was in Japan, Claire missed him day and night. Before this, she seldom had this kind of feeling. When Charlie went to Eastcliff, she also missed him but not as much as she did now. Therefore, when she saw Charlie come back, she couldn't hold back and hugged him immediately. Charlie never thought that his wife would hug him straight away in front of her parents. He felt both happy and shy too. So, he told Claire, “Darling, you should wait till we’re in our room to hug. After all, your parents are watching us.” Claire came to her senses and blushed. With shyness and fear, she said, “We just saw from the news that there was a massacre in Japan a few days ago. More than thirty people were reported dead. It’s so terrifying!” Charlie was surprised and asked, “Is this on national news?” ”Yes!” Claire

Seeing that Elaine was full of eagerness, Charlie placed the suitcase on the floor to open it. Elane, who was by the side, could not resist further. She squatted down and said flatteringly, “My good son-in-law, how could I trouble you with this. Come, let me help you!”Charlie smiled helplessly and did not object. Elaine opened the suitcase and saw a huge Boss plastic bag at the top. She could not help but ask, “Is this Boss for men?” Charlie nodded and said, “I picked a suit for Dad. Since he is the director at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he’ll look dignified in this suit whenever he has any events to attend!” Jacob, who was by the side, was very grateful and said, “Oh Charlie. You are a good son-in-law! I’ve always wanted a suit to wear to events but have been reluctant to buy one all these while. I never thought that you would buy me one. Thank you so much!” Elaine curled her lips and threw the plastic bag containing the suit at Jacob’s feet before sh

“Darling, I bought this for you. Open it and see if you like it!”Feeling shocked, Claire asked, “You bought this for me? Darling, it’s your hard-earned money. Normally, you don’t even spend on yourself. But once you’re outside, you always buy things for me…” Elaine, who was standing beside her, quickly said, “Silly girl. Charlie loves you, cares for you, and pampers you. He’s a good man! Look at your dad, this old stingy man—since when has he ever bought me something valuable?”Jacob answered angrily, “You’re in control of the household finances. I have no money, so how could I possibly buy you things?”Elaine quipped, “Nonsense! Despite other husbands having no money too, they would still try their best to give their wives things. What about you? Don’t tell me you’ve never secretly kept some money after so many years? Don’t use having no money as an excuse.” Jacob picked up the suit that Charlie gave him and said, “I won’t quarrel over such matters. I’m going to my room to t

At this time, Claire was already moved to tears.She was also overwhelmed with emotions when she looked back on all those years that she had been married to Charlie. Back then, Claire could not understand why her grandfather had insisted on her getting married to Charlie. Her whole family had also strongly opposed their marriage but her grandfather used his sovereignty to make her compromise and give in.However, since it was a forced marriage, Claire had misunderstood the concept of a marriage from the very beginning.After getting married to Charlie, the marriage that she understood was simply for her to obey and abide by her grandfather’s request and act dutifully as Charlie’s wife. They had both continued to live together like that. It did not matter whether they were suited for each other, or whether they liked each other.Therefore, they had both been living very respectfully towards one another for a very long time. In fact, even though they were legally married, they were

Charlie knew that his wife was a very shy woman. Furthermore, she did not have much experience in this aspect. So, how would she possibly be able to tolerate Elaine’s teasing then?So, Charlie hurriedly said, “Mom, Claire is a very shy person. You should stop teasing her and making fun of her.”Elaine smiled before she said, “Claire, did you see that? Charlie is always thinking of you and looking out for you!”After she spoke, Elaine stretched a little before she said, “I am not going to chat with both of you anymore. I have to go inside and take pictures of my bracelet now. You two should rest earlier too!”As she was speaking, Jacob suddenly walked out of the elevator dressed in his new Boss suit.As soon as he saw the three of them, he hurriedly made a few turns in front of the elevator with a smug look on his face. After that, he smiled as he said, “Look! I still have some foundation, right? This suit is simply tailor-made for me. I am already in my fifties but I did not put o

If it weren’t because Charlie had overheard the conversation that Isaac had with his aunt over the phone on the way home, Charlie would have really believed that this woman on the other end of the line was really being so enthusiastic from the bottom of her heart.So, Charlie also pretended to be very surprised as he smiled and said, “Aunt! Is it really you? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?”Carmen actually did not want to call Charlie at all.In fact, she had originally passed on the order to Isaac, asking him to directly inform Charlie to go to Shangri-La for dinner tomorrow.However, Lord Wade had specifically come to look for her a while ago to ask her to personally make a phone call to Charlie.That way, it would seem as though she was more sincere. After all, Carmen and Charlie had not seen each other for so many years. A phone call in advance to get in touch with one another was also tantamount to warming up to one another in advance then. Lord Wade felt that it wo
