At this moment, Charlie and his family were in the living room, eating New Year’s Eve dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV. The whole family was happy and harmonious, enjoying the atmosphere.Jacob and Elaine, the old couple who always found each other despicable, had made an exception and held back their bickering during the dinner.Jacob and Charlie drank some white wine together, in which Jacob was in a delightful mood.Claire wanted to drink some red wine with Elaine, but Elaine snatched the red wine from her hand and poured it for herself while saying very seriously, “Claire, you can’t drink alcohol if you are trying to get pregnant. It’s not good for the baby!”With that, she turned to Charlie and said with a smile, “My dear son-in-law, don’t drink too much. Drinking too much wine will affect seeds’ qualities in men! Eventually, it will affect the quality of pregnancy and the development of the fetus!” Claire was immediately flustered. Blushed in embarrassme

As Charlie looked at the photo of the snowy courtyard, he recalled that snowy night in Kyoto many days ago.Under that heavy snowfall, he saved Nanako and unintentionally saved both Jaime and Sophie Schulz.With this thought, he quietly sighed and replied Nanako, “Thank you, and a happy New Year to you too!”He did not respond to the matter of snowing Kyoto that Nanako had brought up. He knew that he should not have too many emotional interactions with Nanako.At first, he felt that she shouldn’t be burdened by the injuries inflicted by Aurora all her life, so he wanted to heal her.Now that she had been cured and he saved her life, so technically speaking, they were even-steven. He would only complicate things if he kept having unnecessary interactions with her.Charlie also knew that his hands were tied and was unable to return their feelings when it came to the women who admired him, including Nanako.Therefore, keeping these women at a distance could be considered the mo

However, Nanako did not deny it immediately nor ran away on the spot. Instead, she put her hands in front of her body and bowed deeply. “I understand, Eminent Father!”Yahiko smiled graciously and said, “I’m too old to stand the freezing wind. I’ll go back to rest first. Don’t stay up too late.”Nanako hurriedly said, “Let me send you into the room, Eminent Father!”Yahiko waved his hand. “Never mind. Since you like pondering, I’ll let you ponder for a while longer.”With that, he made a half turn while controlling his electric wheelchair and slowly went back to his room.Nanako watched her father disappear at the end of the corridor. As she still felt the flushing burn on her face, she gently placed her hands on the thick snow and then placed them on her face.The cold hands brought down the temperature of her cheeks and also made her heart gradually return to tranquility.A moment later, she once again stretched out her hand and used her fingers to write some beautiful words o

Getting worked up, Rosalie hugged Yashita’s waist tightly and asked, “Mom, why are you here? How did you get in here?”Seeing that the soldiers had retreated, Yashita said, “Rosalie, your father asked me to come.”“Father?” Rosalie hurriedly asked, “How is he now? Has he returned home? He didn’t encounter any danger, did he?”Yashita shook her head and said softly, “Don’t worry, he’s fine. He has returned to Eastcliff safely.”Only then did Rosalie heave a sigh of relief and murmured, “Thank goodness…”Yashita said, “Rosalie, your father wanted to come to Japan personally to get you out, but because he is now the main subject of strict monitoring by the Japanese homeland security department, so it’s not convenient for him to come to Japan again, for the time being, that’s why he let me come to see you.”Puzzled, Rosalie asked, “Mom, how did you get in here? The Self-Defense Forces are keeping close watch over me in this maximum-security prison. How did they let you in?”Yashita

Yashita said, “Your father said that you can name yourself whatever you want, and he will help you with the relevant identification registration.”A trace of joy flashed across Rosalie’s face. However before she could speak, Yashita added, “Rosalie, your father said that you can still use Schulz as your last name, and you can call yourself whatever you want, but you cannot make the name sound like his descendant.”Rosalie’s delightful grin froze and was replaced by a bitter frown. She looked at Yashita and asked, “Mom, he still doesn’t want people to know who I really am, does he?”Yashita said, looking rather ashamed, “Rosalie, you are after all your father’s illegitimate daughter, and not many people know about this. Only your father and your grandfather know about you in the entire Schulz family. Your father and his wife love each other very much. If she knows about you, she will certainly break up with him…”Rosalie choked. “Mom, does it mean that I can’t tell people that Sheld

Looking at Yashita, Rosalie nodded and said with tears in her eyes, “Don’t worry, Mom! I’ll come back alive to see you!”Yashita touched Rosalie’s face with her one arm and said lovingly, “After you go back this time, don’t go to the Schulz residence first. Stay with me at your grandma’s place for a while. We’ll go back after the dust has settled.”Rosalie nodded and said, “Okay, Mom. Take care.”Yashita reminded her in a low voice, “Regarding the mission of getting you out, don’t disclose it to any of the inmates, because we only plan to get you out alone. If they know about it, they may be upset and I’m afraid it will bring any unwanted trouble.”Rosalie sighed slightly. “Okay, Mom. I know…”Yashita nodded and only then reluctantly left, and Rosalie was brought back to her cell by the soldiers.However, at this moment, Rosalie was full of gratitude to Sheldon.Although she was an illegitimate daughter and he could never disclose her true identity to the public, he was willing
