As he thought of this, Jacob could only say begrudgingly, "Well, since you want to run, I will definitely have to accompany you, then!""That's great!" Matilda was busy saying, "In that case, you can go out first. I'll change my clothes quickly and we'll leave immediately!""Okay..." Jacob, who was depressed, could only agree, turn around dejectedly, and go out the door.This bedroom, originally in his eyes, was the tender place he had left behind for almost thirty years.But now, he could only stand outside the door, waiting for Matilda to change her clothes inside.The key was that Matilda, after changing her clothes, was dragging him to go running…The depressed Jacob let out a long sigh, covering his face with one hand and holding his head with the other as he squatted down in front of Matilda's bedroom.As he was squatting down, he was still thinking, 'What went wrong in the end?! It's hard to believe that the millet porridge really had such a magical effect!'After three
While Jacob was running after Matilda by the riverside until his legs were almost broken, Charlie was only a few kilometers away from the Moore family's manor in the far suburbs of Aurous Hill.At this moment, in the banquet hall of the Moore family's manor, the father and daughter of the Ito family as well as Emi and Tanaka were talking with Lord Moore, who was accompanied by Jasmine.The cooperation between the Moore family and Nippon Steel was all because of Charlie, who had cured the chairman of Nippon Steel, Shinwa, but it was also thanks to Yahiko who had made the bridge.Moreover, after being saved by Charlie, Jasmine had also been under the Ito family’s care when she had encountered an accident in Japan.Therefore, Lord Moore was very polite to his guests.As for Nanako, she was busy whispering away with Jasmine. The two kept exchanging pleasantries and laughed uncontrollably from time to time, just like good sisters.The Akita dog that Nanako had brought with her was lyi
As Aurora stroked the head of the Akita pup, she looked at Nanako with an expectant face and asked, "Nanako, is this dog really for me?!""Yes!" Nanako nodded and smiled before saying seriously, "His name is Momotaro, and he is a little boy. Although he is a boy, he is very good-tempered and gentle. From now on, please take good care of him!"Aurora was very excited, and she said gratefully, "Nana-chan, thank you so much!"Nanako laughed, "We are all friends, why are you being so polite!"Aurora said with a red face, "I… I am embarrassed… I never had the chance to say sorry for hurting you like that in the competition before..."Nanako replied, "Since it was a competition, there are bound to be losses and wins. Some people will get injured. We were all competing fairly, so there is no need to be sorry. You must not take it to heart."Aurora said sheepishly, "But… But… I was..."All of a sudden, Aurora did not know how to explain.After struggling for a moment, Aurora ground her
Hearing the two talk about being saved by Charlie, Aurora was a little lost all of a sudden.With Momotaro in her arms, she sat on the floor and sighed, "Hey, suddenly I envy you guys so much..."The two couldn't help but look at her at the same time. Jasmine opened her mouth and asked, "Aurora, what are you envious of us for?"Aurora said seriously, "I envy you all for having the experience of being saved by Master Wade! Why have I not encountered such a thing..."Nanako hurriedly interrupted her and said offhandedly, "Aurora, don't talk nonsense! This kind of thing is not a joke!""That's right!" Jasmine also said very seriously, "Don’t talk nonsense! The most important thing is to be safe and sound!" Aurora said softly, "But… But I really envy you guys..."Jasmine and Nanako saw her stubbornness, and they could not help but look at each other simultaneously with a bitter smile. On one hand, the two were surprised at Aurora's odd thinking, and on the other hand, they
Jasmine nodded in admiration and lamented, "Maybe there is no one else other than him, just like a flower that can attract so many butterflies as well..." At this moment, several men in another corner of the banquet hall were also talking to each other happily. As everyone chatted, Lord Moore looked at Graham and smiled, "By the way, Mr. Quinton, don't you have a lot of business exporting to Japan recently? In the future, you can get in touch with Mr. Ito to see if there is any good direction for cooperation."Yahiko asked curiously, "Oh? Mr. Quinton also has business in Japan?"Graham nodded and said truthfully, "To be honest, I was initially in the medicinal herb business originally only for the domestic market in Oskia. However, recently, the export volume from Oskia to Japan has surged, accounting for half of all my medicinal herb sales, and it is still growing."Yahiko asked in surprise, "Mr. Quinton, is the amount supplied to Japan that large?"Graham said with a res
Seeing that Charlie had arrived, Graham took the lead and stood up, saying respectfully, "Master Wade, you're here! We were just talking about you!"Charlie laughed, "I heard you! Didn't you say you wanted to have drinks with me to your heart's content later?"Graham hurriedly laughed, "Indeed, I want to have drinks with you to my heart's content, but I definitely don't mean to fill you up."Charlie smiled and then said to Lord Moore, "Are you in good health lately, Lord Moore?"Lord Moore nodded repeatedly and said respectfully, "Master Wade, thanks to your blessing, I am in very good health."Charlie nodded, and at that moment, Yahiko, who was on the side, waved to Charlie and said with the same respect, "Hello, Mr. Wade, we meet again!"Charlie had long guessed that Yahiko must be here, but naturally, he still had to pretend to be very surprised on the surface, so he said, "Oh, it's Mr. Ito! I didn't expect you to be here too."After saying that, Charlie looked at Emi and Tan
Aurora pouted in an aggrieved manner before she said in a low and muffled voice, “I got it, Dad…”Charlie smiled at this time as he asked, “Let the housekeeper take care of the dog first. I’ll play with it after I’m done eating.”Lord Moore then hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take the dog out first.Everyone began to sit down, one after the other.Lord Moore sat on Charlie’s left while Yahiko sat on Charlie’s right.As for Emi and Hiroshi, both of them were originally unworthy to sit at the table to eat together with them. However, Charlie managed to get them to sit down at the table anyway.The relationship between a master and a servant was very clear and distinct in Japanese society. Sometimes, the title as a senior could easily make a junior demonstrate his respect, but it was relatively less rigid in Oskia. Moreover, Charlie was not the kind of person who cared so much about these details. So, he simply asked them to sit down together at the table.Emi and Hiroshi were
As soon as Charlie said this, Lord Moore and Graham had very excited expressions on their faces.They knew that Charlie was actually helping them to build a bridge with the Ito family.The Ito family was now the strongest family in Japan, and they owned assets worth more than trillions of dollars in Oskia. As for the Moore family, they had just entered the 100 billion dollars club, and Graham was still halfway to making it to the threshold of the 100 billion dollars club.Therefore, if they could collaborate with the Ito family, it would indeed be a step up the ladder for both of their families. If the Ito family would truly be willing to collaborate with them, it would certainly bring them more growth and opportunities!Yahiko naturally understood Charlie’s intentions. So, he did not hesitate as he said, “Since Mr. Wade has already said so, the Ito family will naturally go all out to collaborate with Miss Moore and Mr. Quinton!”As he spoke, Yahiko looked at Jasmine before he sai
