Sophie was a little surprised at first, but she quickly came back to her senses.Sophie was also from a rich family in Eastcliff. Therefore, she also knew about the Golding family’s situation very well. She also knew that Yule and Rachel were Quinn’s parents. Since this was Quinn’s concert, it was only natural for them to come and support her performance as her parents.However, Sophie had some doubts in her mind. Regardless of whether it was Yule or Rachel, Sophie would often see both of them at various high society events in Eastcliff in the past.But in her impression, the couple did not look as young as they did now.This was especially so for Rachel. She had already given birth to a child, and she was only a few years younger than Sophie’s mother at most. However, she did not look like a person who had already given birth to a child. In fact, she looked like she was only in her thirties, and she looked so much younger as compared to Sophie’s mother.As for Yule, he was also i
Rachel, who was surprised, could not help but whisper in Sophie’s ear as she asked, “Sophie, how did you get to know Charlie?”Sophie did not cover up anything, and she said openly and honestly, “Charlie is my benefactor, and he is also my mother’s benefactor. Charlie was the one who saved my brother and I when the both of us were kidnapped in Japan, and Charlie was also the one who saved my mother and I when we met with an accident in the tunnel on Forbidden Mountain.”Rachel suddenly came to a realization!“So, that’s it…”At this time, she also understood why Sophie would know Charlie.She sighed and thought to herself, ‘If Charlie had simply saved Sophie, Sophie would not know of his identity. However, if Charlie had also saved Helen, the situation would be completely different, then. Charlie looks so much like his father. So, it would be impossible for Helen not to recognize him. In that case, it makes complete sense for Sophie to know about Charlie’s true identity.’Rachel
In the picture, a girl who was about four to five years old was wearing a beautiful floral dress. She was holding onto her dress with both of her hands, and she was dancing around a beautiful birthday cake as she sang the birthday song in her childish voice.A boy who was a little older than her stood next to the cake. The boy was wearing a birthday crown, and his hands were placed together in front of his nose. His head was lowered, and his eyes were closed as he silently made a wish.As his head was lowered because he was making a wish, the boy’s face could not be seen in the video.At this point, the image on the screen suddenly froze, and a string of captions suddenly appeared on the still screen: [This girl, who loves to sing and dance in the video, is only three and a half years old. She is Quinn Golding.]As soon as Quinn’s name was typed out, a deafening cheer erupted from the fans who were at the scene.Many people were all exclaiming in awe that Quinn was already so beau
After a short silence, there was the sound of many girls whispering and sobbing.Many girls were touched by this true story.Who would have thought that the famous Quinn, who was countless girls’ idols and was regarded as a goddess by countless boys, would actually be such a passionate and infatuated girl?In her twenty-five years of life, she had spent nearly twenty years searching for the prince charming from her childhood!For many girls, it would only be possible for this kind of infatuating love story to exist in a fairy tale.However, all of this had truly happened to Quinn.Charlie sat on the chair as though he had just lost his soul. His eyes were already filled with tears.He really did not expect that Quinn would have actually put in so much effort to find him.He had originally thought that this young girl, who was two or three years younger than him, was only constantly saying that she wanted to marry him all the time because she had been brainwashed by their so-cal
Quinn, who was wearing a dreamy blue dress, took the elevator as she slowly rose from the center of the stage. She was holding the microphone as she spoke up, “In the past, I would only sing my own songs in all of my concerts, but today, I’ll be covering two songs from my predecessors in the music industry. These two songs are both dedicated to my prince charming. I hope that he will like them!”After that, the intro ended, and Quinn opened her mouth and sang Jeff Chang’s famous song, .The lyrics of this song were totally in line with her dedication to Charlie for so many years.“Set the dark clouds in the sky aside, as beautiful as blue velvet…”“I’ll go over the mountains for you, but I do not want to see the scenery…”“I miss you and gathered enough courage to spread the message based on the map of love…”“I hope that you haven’t forgotten, I’ll always protect you…”“From now on, there is no need to wander and search…”“Love is just one word; I will onl
At this moment at the scene of the concert site, as soon as Quinn had finished singing , tens of thousands of fans were all immediately seething with excitement as they stood up and kept applauding.Even Claire was overwhelmed by her feelings, and she had the irresistible impulse to stand up. She was not in a hurry to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes because she was so moved, and she clapped her hands so vigorously until her hands were flushed red.After the end of the song, Quinn, who was on the stage, spoke into the microphone, “I’m very sorry. I selfishly put in my own story at the beginning of the concert. I hope that this video will not disturb everyone’s interest in watching the performance!”Countless fans below the stage shouted out slogans such as “No”, “You can do it, Quinn” and “Quinn, you must be happy”.Quinn smiled slightly and said, “Thank you, everyone. Therefore, the next song is dedicated to all of you, my dears!”After that, the
There were several options given below this hot search. There was classical style, modern style, post-modern style, western-country style, dark style, gothic style, and even the abstract style.There was even a famous fan who had a verified fan profile who organized a prize contest to choose ten lucky winners amongst those who had guessed correctly. Each of the winners would be given an album that had been autographed by Quinn. Claire took out her cell phone, and she began browsing through her social media profile for a while. At this time, she could not help but ask Charlie in a low voice, “Husband, what style do you think Quinn Golding will have when she comes back on stage later?”Charlie said awkwardly, “This... How could I possibly guess it?”Claire said, “Aren’t people calling you Master Wade? Since you are good at divination and calculation, can’t you have a rough estimate of what it would be?”Charlie shook his head and said truthfully, “I have absolutely no knowledge on
Quinn’s cover of Wakin Chau’s song, , was an old song that had been released back in 1993.Many of the young fans at the scene had never even heard of this song before.However, this song was in itself a classic, and many famous singers had actually covered this song in their concerts before. This song had rarely made an appearance in the public eye in recent years.Quinn sang this song to perfection. Coupled with her perfectly white wedding dress, it simply fitted the temperament of this song perfectly.Most importantly, everyone knew that the reason why Quinn was singing this song was because she wanted to dedicate this song to the prince charming she had been looking for for years.So, this made the fans at the scene feel even more touched beyond measure.Who would have thought that a goddess, who was in the limelight and had the love and attention of thousands of people, would actually be so infatuated with a prince charming from her childh
As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office
On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T
Then, Matilda suggested, "How about this—I'll ask him before deciding." "I'll pass on inviting the rest of my former classmates too. They're too vain and love comparing, so I'd rather not have anything to do with that. Also, there are our Korean friends who have it together, and they were telling us to invite them if we were going to get married. We have to keep our promise, right?""Yeah—then, it's basically decided. Aside from Charlie, we shall invite our colleagues and Korean friends while we wait for an answer from Jacob."Yolden nodded and said, "Now, I'll talk about the honeymoon—cut me short if you have a different opinion."Matilda nodded, resting her chin on her hands and smiling. "Shoot. I'm all ears."Feeling a little embarrassed by Matilda's glowing stare, Yolden took a sip of his ice water before continuing, "My idea is to head to the States for our honeymoon after the wedding…"He trailed off, staring at Matilda and waiting for a response.However, she was merely
"Oh, Jacob…?"Matilda chuckled awkwardly. "Just today, he offered to buy me dinner, but I said I didn't have the time, and I also told him about our wedding… So, we should invite him since he's aware of it.""Jacob offered to buy you dinner?" Yolden exclaimed in surprise. "Did he say why?""Nope," Matilda shrugged, smiling. "Probably just dinner between old classmates."However, she was actually smart enough to guess Jacob's intention even though Jacob was inviting her somewhere near campus. That was why she had also mentioned she was marrying Yolden while turning down Jacob, all so that he would give up on her.After she had managed to get over their past fling completely, she didn't want to give Jacob false hopes before she walked down the aisle.In the same regard, she didn't want to worry Yolden, and therefore, had deliberately discouraged Jacob.Be that as it may, Yolden was smart too.He knew about Matilda and Jacob's past and that her son, Paul's full name was Paul Jam
Before Charlie had arrived, Jacob was still furious that Matilda would soon marry Yolden.After Charlie came, however, he was instead worried that Matilda would send him a wedding invitation.Meanwhile, Matilda and Yolden were discussing their list of guests.They had different social circles, but most of their friends were Stateside, and they only had some distant relatives in this country.Still, they had colleagues in Aurous Hill. Matilda had classmates too, but she was out of touch with them aside from Jacob, whom she often met.Still, as they discussed who should be invited, Matilda first suggested, "Let's go through everyone. First, our Stateside friends… I don't think we should tell them at all since it's a long journey, and inviting them would seem tactless. What do you think?"Yolden nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking the same thing. We're close with our Stateside friends and always keep in touch, but inviting them to our wedding might be a stretch. We'd just hit a wa
With that being said, once Matilda was thrown in the mix, Elaine would suddenly become an African honey badger, with every bit of black air force energy that was implied.As such, if Jacob had managed to be brave and take that one step back then, Charlie would have tried to help, stopping Elaine from harassing Jacob or Matilda.However, the reality was that Jacob had to bungle the chance when Matilda offered it to him.That was why the best option was for Jacob to understand that he couldn't get together with Matilda now so that he would feel much better.And since he had always been a coward, Charlie's slight intimidation cleared his head considerably.He then sighed, "Well, that's just life—you don't always get what you want, and you should never try to claim what you couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to choose Matilda over thirty years ago, so not being together now only makes sense.""Now, I can only pray that Elaine never finds out… or at least that things don't get out of h
Then, Jacob quickly pressed, "Dear boy, maybe you could stay a few days instead of taking more jobs. At least you could be there to stop my wife if she snaps.""Sure," Charlie chuckled, cheerfully agreeing to it. "Don't worry—Claire's returning in a couple of days too, and you'll be fine with us around. You're cheating in your mind, anyway…"Pausing, he then added a reminder, "But if she's really furious, just bear with her beatings and clawings. Live and let live, as they say."That left Jacob sulking, however. "What the hell! If I knew this would happen, I should have just taken her to court and divorced her openly! That way, I'd definitely make things work with Matilda. Yolden wouldn't even stand a chance!"Charlie had to keep a straight face. "Now, you're not quite right there—don't you know what would happen to your wife if you took this to court?"Jacob snorted coolly. "Elaine would just snap at me, hit me, and make sure I don't get a cent in the divorce. That's no big deal—
