Chapter 4824

Author: Lord Leaf
A few minutes ago, Nanako had just finished her work and returned to her home in Tokyo by car.

Since taking over the Ito family not long ago, Nanako had been working overtime during this period of time so that she could quickly adapt and rise to the role of the Ito family’s helmsman.

Under normal circumstances, she would usually wait until after nine o’clock at night before returning home after getting off work.

The reason why she had returned home at six o’clock today was mainly because it was her father, Yahiko’s fiftieth birthday.

Thus, she had left work early to celebrate her father’s birthday.

In the past, when Yahiko had celebrated his birthday, it was not just the Ito family’s extended family members who would come to celebrate his birthday, but even the heads of many prestigious families in Tokyo would come to congratulate him.

However, ever since Yahiko’s legs had been amputated, he had been very resistant toward such crowded occasions. So, for his birthday dinner this y

    “Qungua?” The young maid shook her head in bewilderment. “Miss... I... I don’t think I’ve heard of it before.”Nanako said with a smile, “The qungua is one of the Oskian women’s traditional dresses, and it’s usually in red and gold. There is also fine embroidery on it, and it looks very gorgeous and beautiful. There has also been a different improvement in the style over the recent years, and it is really beautiful and looks particularly festive when worn.”The maid said with a blank expression, “Miss, there’s no need for Japanese women like us to wear the Oskian wedding dress when we get married, right? Wouldn’t that be a little too strange?”Nanako shook her head mischievously and said shyly, “I’ll naturally wear a kimono if I marry a Japanese, but I will have to wear the Oskian wedding dress if I marry an Oskian to suit the occasion. Besides, as the saying goes, if you marry a man, you will have to follow and adapt to his customs and tradition.”“What?!” The maid was appalled an

    He was well-known in Japan and even regarded as an inspirational idol by many people. He had singlehandedly built the Ito family into one of the top families in Japan, and he was also in his prime at the age of fifty. He should have been at the age where he could be exercising his ambitions to the fullest. However, at this time, he had suddenly lost his legs and become a disabled person who had to rely on someone to take care of him at home, and he had to use a wheelchair when he went out. It would be difficult to fill this gap in his heart for the next three to five years.So, she said to Hiroshi, “Tanaka-san, please invite the manufacturer of the billiard table to come here tomorrow to let them see if there is any way to upgrade the table so that it can be more suitable for my father’s current situation, such as making its height as adjustable as possible, and the legs supporting the table should be tucked inward as much as possible to avoid collision with the wheelchair. In any cas

    Nanako pulled the door open gently and then left her slippers outside the door as she walked in barefoot.When Yahiko saw that Nanako was dressed up like a fairy, he could not help but say proudly, “Nanako, I can’t wait to see you when you get married. You will definitely be even more beautiful than you look now. I’m afraid that the whole of Japan will be stunned by you then!”Nanako smiled slightly and said, “My Eminent Father, I’ve never thought about getting married so soon.”“Oh...” Yahiko responded and said emotionally, “You still cannot forget Charlie?”Nanako did not hide her feelings and said earnestly, “My Eminent Father, I’m still unable to let Charlie-kun go. Aside from him, there is no place in my heart for anyone else. Even if I can forget him, it would be impossible for me to like anyone else.”Yahiko was stunned for a moment and then said with some distress, “Nanako, Charlie is a good man, but I don’t know how long you will have to wait for him. A woman’s golden per

    So, she quickly answered the phone, walked over to an unoccupied corner, and spoke up as she asked excitedly, “Charlie-kun, aren’t you in the United States? Why are you calling me?”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Nanako, I have something very important to tell you.”Nanako hurriedly said, “Charlie-kun, please speak up!”Charlie instructed, “You should put down all matters at hand right now and bring your father and Hiroshi to meet me in New York. The sooner, the better.”“Huh?” Nanako asked in surprise and astonishment, “You want me to bring my Eminent Father and Tanaka-san to New York right now?”“Yes.” Charlie said, “It’s a long journey, so it’d be best for you to leave for the airport now. You don’t need to bring any luggage or anything like that, just come as fast as you can.”Nanako wanted to say that it was her father’s birthday tonight and whether they could leave two hours later so that her father could at least finish his meal first before leaving.However, she coul

    After Yahiko had put on the uncomfortable prostheses, several male servants helped him change into the hakama.As Yahiko stood on the spot dressed up in a new way, he did seem to have regained some of his former elegance.However, he was the only one who knew the pain involved.He just stood there for two or three minutes while putting on clothes, and he felt pain, numbness, and some itching where his body was in contact with the prostheses.He really wanted to throw this pair of prostheses immediately and return to the wheelchair again, but he had no choice but to resist the urge to do so when he thought about what his daughter had said about taking pictures.He had originally wanted to walk out on his own, but he did face some difficulties after taking a few steps due to the inconvenient movement of the prostheses, so he had to let the servant help him out of the room.However, he did not know that no one in the entire Ito family was still busy with his birthday. Instead, every

    “How can we do that?!” Nanako said, “Charlie-kun asked me to take you and Tanaka-san with me!”“I still won’t go even if that’s the case.” Yahiko said angrily, “I haven’t left home for so long because I don’t want to go out and embarrass myself, let alone go to the United States.”Nanako said firmly, “This is Charlie-kun’s intention.”Yahiko said with some anger, “So what if it’s his intention? You’re the one who likes him, not me. You can go by yourself. I’ll stay here. I’m not going anywhere!”Nanako was a little angry, and her tone was even a little stern, and it seemed as if she was reprimanding him a little as she blurted out, “Otou-san! Have you forgotten Charlie-kun’s kindness to the Ito family?!”“I haven’t forgotten!” Yahiko said resentfully, “But don’t forget that Charlie has also taken quite a sum of money from me! He did not give the billions of US dollars to me after he said that he would not do it. Did I mention this after that? No, right?”Nanako said seriously, “O

    Yahiko still looked a little sullen until the plane took off.Before boarding the plane, Nanako especially took a photo of Yahiko wearing the hakama as he stood on the prostheses under the plane and got the servant to carry him onto the plane immediately afterward. Half an hour after the plane took off and started flying smoothly, Nanako and her aunt hurriedly brought up the food and cake that they had brought with them to celebrate Yahiko’s fiftieth birthday in the air. Nanako lit the candles and sang the birthday song before coaxing Yahiko and saying, “Otou-san, blow out the candles!” Nanako did not realize that at this point, she had already changed the way she addressed her father from Eminent Father to Otou-san.She had even used a slightly reprimanding tone a couple of times without realizing it.Unexpectedly, this actually suppressed Yahiko’s original arrogance. After being reprimanded by his precious daughter, he lost his original temper, and it was replaced with a chi

    “Okay.” Charlie quickly said, “I’ll see you later, then.”“Okay, Mr. Wade. See you later.”Fifteen minutes later, Kathleen’s helicopter landed on the top floor of Shangri-La.Charlie took Rosalie, Isaac, and Albert with him into the helicopter.Half an hour later, the helicopter flew over a remote building on the outskirts of New York City.The Fox family’s medical technology center was located here.This building was the only building within a two-kilometer radius. It was twenty-five stories high, and the surroundings were heavily guarded.After getting off the helicopter, Kathleen took the initiative to walk in front as she led the way and said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, we established a medical technology center mainly for research and development as well as the testing of some relatively high-end and advanced treatment methods and drugs, which includes the most advanced proton therapy system and cellular immunotherapy for cancer that are available here, and they are the best in

    Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

    Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

    Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

    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
