As to going to Country R to visit Chester, Charity did think about it. However, she had yet to decide if she wanted to do it. The weather gradually turned cold.The advertisement for Neeson Corporation’s new product was in full swing.With Josh being so well-known and Charity having Ferra support her in the entertainment industry, the products under Neeson Corporation caught the public’s eye once again. When the total year-end sales were out, Neeson Corporation achieved staggering results.In order to motivate the employees, Charity suggested organizing an overseas trip for excellent employees during Christmas this year. As for the trip destination, it would be up to the employees to decide.In December, Charity’s assistant showed her the chosen places for the trip. “Everyone prefers traveling to Europe. Coincidentally, a lot of special promotions for merchandise overseas goes on during Christmas. After one year of hard work, everyone wants to go shopping.”“Europe it is.” C
After feeling surprised, Charity soon guessed it. “Is Shaun going to visit Chester?”“Yeah.”Catherine did not hide the truth. “He said it’s quite sad for Chester to spend the new year alone, and since he’ll be going over during Christmas, he’ll bring our children and me along. By the way, Freya wants to tag along after learning we’re going there. Ryan will be coming along as well. I wanted to invite you at first, but I was worried you wouldn’t want to go to Country R.”Charity said in amusement, “Forget it. Even if you had invited me, I wouldn’t come along.”“Why? Are you afraid of seeing Chester?”“No.” Charity sighed gloomily. “You guys are all couples and have families. What’s the point of me coming along? To be a third wheel or watch you show off your love for each other?”“What’s so bad about that? It’ll make you jealous and motivate you to get a young man soon.”Catherine teased, “Josh isn’t bad. He’s a world champion. His physique must be excellent.”“Forget it. We’re j
Charity stared at the message with a weird expression. If it were not for Chester sending voice messages occasionally, she would suspect that the Chester behind the messages was fake. That man had always been bossy, vicious, and stubborn. When did he become so understanding? When did those changes happen? It seemed they occurred after his leg was amputated. Could he have suffered trauma due to the loss of his leg and turned into another person? The next day, Freya gave Charity a call after the group arrived in Country R. She said she and Ryan had driven to the hotel’s entrance to pick her up. After informing the tour guide, Charity brought Larissa and their luggage downstairs. When Larissa saw Ryan’s handsome and gentle face, she suddenly felt afraid. Although it was her first time meeting Ryan, she heard from others that Freya’s boyfriend was the prime minister’s son. “How can we possibly let you pick us up? You should’ve told us the address, and we would’ve gone ove
“Hubby, you’re finally willing to come home.” Charity suddenly heard Catherine’s sour mocking in her ear. Shaun walked in wearing a coat. His figure looked tall and straight in the night. “Wifey, are you jealous?” Shaun bent over and hugged Catherine, who was sitting in a rattan chair. Happiness was etched all over his handsome brows. “How can I not come back with such a gorgeous wife here?”Freya snickered on purpose. “You’ve been spending half a day by Chester’s side every day, yet you still have the nerve to say that.”“That’s because the situation is unique.” Shaun nodded his head at Charity and her mom with a smile as he spoke. Then, he explained to his wife, “Chester has been here alone for months. He’s quite pitiful. He doesn’t have someone to talk to besides Ken.”“Alright. I was joking.” Catherine squeezed the back of Shaun’s hand. “You can go be with Chester if you want to. I saw Chester the day before yesterday. I think he has changed a lot.”“That’s true.”Freya
Charity halted in her steps. She watched the man from a distance. To be honest, many people in society had lost their legs. Hence, Charity felt no other emotions besides pity after glancing at them every time. However, the thin man with his back toward her made her think of Chester. It was as if there was a lump in her throat, and she felt uneasy. Suddenly, the man stumbled, and his crutch wobbled before he fell to the ground awkwardly, revealing half of his well-defined face. Larissa exclaimed, “That… That’s Chester.”After speaking, she ran up to him and wanted to help him, but she realized she still had many things in her hands. With that, she hastily reminded her daughter, who was in a daze. “Lizzie, quickly help him up.”“Huh? Oh.”Charity snapped back to her senses and swiftly walked over. Chester was still struggling to stand up on the field. However, it was not easy for a person who had lost one of his legs. He would fall again after managing to get up a litt
“There’s no helping it. To the people here, Christmas and Christmas Eve are important events, so most of the staff have gone back except the doctors and nurses on duty,” Chester explained. “This hospital is slightly classier. The good thing is that there’s a kitchen attached to our ward, and we can hire people to cook.”“It’s so troublesome.”As a mother, Larissa could not stand seeing young people alone during festivals the most. Moreover, she heard Shaun talking about Chester’s heartless parents, so she could not stand it any longer and said, “Why don’t you spend these two days with us?”Chester was stunned, but he quickly shook his head sheepishly. “There’s no need for that. We can just cook up something ourselves. Besides, the hospital won’t agree to us staying overnight outside.”“You can come back after having dinner. Our place isn’t far from here anyway. Your friends are there too.”After speaking, Larissa saw Chester keeping silent with his head lowered. With that, she q
After hanging up, Charity went after Chester.Seemingly able to sense what she was going to do, Chester turned his head around and reminded her, “Don’t hold me. I must learn how to walk on my own.”Charity’s long lashes fluttered impassively. Was it because he had only himself to rely on in the future?“No. Considering you’re so rich, you can hire a caretaker to wheel you around,” Charity said.Chester gave a deep, self-deprecating laugh. “Caretakers have their own families and matters too. They can’t possibly accompany me all the time.” Charity instantly fell quiet.That seemed true.Chester glanced sideways at her, his eyes filled with sadness. “Even Ken needs to get married and have children. How can he possibly stay by my side every day? No matter how much money I pay him, he can’t stand to be with a man like me all year long.” Larissa could not bring herself to listen to it. “Don’t say that. You’re still young. You can get another partner. When you get married and have
Chester tried his best to suppress his feelings while speaking. Even his voice was trembling.Larissa’s eyes reddened.‘What a poor child,’ she thought. “Okay, I get it. You did wrong, but your biggest mistake was that you didn’t know how to love someone. Sigh. At the end of the day, it was your parents who didn’t instill the right moral values in you since you were young. What’s the point of being rich if you can’t even educate your child well?”“Really? This is my first time hearing someone say that to me.” Chester looked as if he saw the light.Ken did not even bother to look at Chester’s expression.If there were an Oscars award, Ken would certainly give it to Chester.Look. Chester had even managed to make Larrisa sympathize with him in a few minutes.However, Chester was going in the right direction. Rather than striving to please Charity, he might as well put more effort into targeting Larissa.It was obvious Charity listened to her mother.Ken still could not figure
