If Claire did not rely on this stubborn ‘stupidity’, she would have listened to everyone’s persuasion and gotten rid of him a long time ago.If that happened, what kind of destiny and fate would he be suffering now?Charlie did not even dare to think about it.His life was very difficult before he married Claire.This was because the orphanage did not accept any adults at all. Therefore, on his eighteenth birthday, Mrs. Lewis bought him a birthday cake with the little savings that she had. After that, they celebrated his birthday for him before she sent him out of the orphanage with tears in her eyes.At that moment, Charlie once again became a helpless and lonely person in this world.Mrs. Lewis wanted to help him and she wanted to introduce him to some work so that he could earn some living allowance for himself but Charlie did not have the face to accept Mrs. Lewis’s help.He found a construction site on his own and he started moving bricks, sand, and cement on his own at the
As he thought about his past, Charlie could not help but feel overwhelmed with emotions.There were only two people in the Wilson family who really treated him well.One of them was Lord Wilson, who had already passed away and the other person was his wife, Claire.Since Lord Wilson had already passed away, the only person left in the entire Wilson family who was really good to him was none other than Claire.When Charlie saw Claire standing on the balcony with a sad expression on her face, he walked over to her slowly before he said, “Claire, you don’t have to worry too much. Mom will definitely come home safely, okay?”Claire only realized that Charlie had entered the room when she heard him speaking. She turned around and glanced at him with an annoyed expression on her face as she said, “You don’t really care about her. So, of course you would think that nothing will happen to her. Even if something happened to her, you would not be really sad or worried at all.”Charlie knew
Jacob, who was upstairs on the third floor was living in sharp contrast to Charlie.He was so excited that he could not even fall asleep at all that night.He could not stop thinking about the past that he shared with Matilda and all of their good memories kept flashing back and forth in his mind. He was completely immersed in the memories that he shared with Matilda.The more he thought about Matilda, the more he looked forward to seeing her again.Early the next morning, Jacob who had not slept for the whole night was very energetic and he was in extremely good spirits. He was happily smiling from ear to ear at this time.He got up early to wash up and he shaved his beard clean without leaving even a single stubble behind. After that, he combed his gray hair before he sprayed some styling spray on his hair. After that, he looked inside his cabinet before he looked for the high-end luxurious suit that he had always felt very unwilling to wear.This suit was specially made in Hon
When Claire heard that her father wanted her to accompany him to meet up with his first love, Claire refused directly without any hesitation at all. “I am not going!”Jacob spread out his hands before he said, “Then, don’t stop Charlie from going with me. No matter what it is, one of you has to come with me today.”“You…” Claire was furious and she asked, “Is it more important for you to have a meal with your old classmate or is it more important for us to find mom? Dad, can’t you differentiate which is more important to you right now?”Jacob blurted out, “Of course, I can differentiate it very clearly! Of course, it is much more important for me to have a meal with my old classmate!”“You…”Although Claire usually had a very good temper, she was about to blow up and explode in anger at this time.Jacob replied indifferently, “Claire, you have to understand one thing. This world does not revolve around your mother alone. There are four people in this family. Your mother and I hav
Elaine knew clearly that this was a threat. As long as she started eating, and as long as she reached out her hand to touch the lunch box, she would probably have to suffer a beating.Therefore, Elaine cried as she continued pleading, “Sister Jennifer, you have already beaten and scolded me as much as you wanted to yesterday. Can you please be merciful and let me off today?”Jennifer raised her brows before she said, “Even if I let you off, who can bring my dead mother back to life then? Do you know how miserable my mother was when she drank a bottle of pesticide and laid in the hospital bed as she tried desperately to catch her breath as she suffocated to death?”Elaine burst into tears as she said, “Sister Jennifer…I know that you are a filial daughter but I have not harmed your mother in any way…”Jennifer replied angrily, “You are still trying to talk nonsense with me? Let me tell you something. My mother was killed because of her unfilial daughter-in-law! That is the reason wh
At a little after eight o’clock in the morning, Charlie drove the old man out of the villa.There was still more than two hours before the plane landed but Jacob could not wait any longer.After leaving the villa at Thompson First, Jacob hurriedly asked Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, do you know where I can buy a bouquet of flowers? I want to buy a bouquet of roses to give to Matilda.”Charlie replied, “Dad, your classmate will be bringing her son along with her today. Do you really think that it will be appropriate for you to give her roses in front of her son?”Jacob thought to himself for a few moment before he nodded and said, “You are right. I should just give her an ordinary bouquet of flowers then.”Charlie replied, “I know of a flower shop nearby. We can go there and buy a bouquet of flowers first.”As soon as they arrived at the flower shop, Charlie spent five hundred dollars to ask the florist to help him to prepare a bouquet of flowers that symbolizes friendship. After
Matilda’s appearance was even more impeccable. She was really very beautiful and she looked very elegant and classy. She had the smart and intelligent look that could only be seen in previous generations of intellectuals.There was a very famous television celebrity in this age group and she was an actress named Catherine Zeta-Jones. She could easily be considered as one of the most charming and beautiful woman amongst all the other women in her age group. However, Matilda was even more beautiful compared to Catherine Zeta-Jones!Catherine Zeta-Jones was in her early fifties and she was still extremely charming and beautiful. Matilda was three years younger than her but she looked like she was six or seven years younger than her!How could this possibly be an aunt who was nearly fifty years old?She was simply an older sister who looked like she was in her thirties or early forties!Charlie was stunned. He really did not expect Jacob’s first love to be such an impeccable and super
Paul’s Oskian language was indeed very good. If anyone closed their eyes and listened to them speak, no one would be able to tell that he was actually an American. Charlie was also very surprised and he shook Paul’s head before he said in admiration, “Mr. Paul, your Oskian language is indeed really very impressive.”Paul smiled humbly before he said, “Mr. Wade, you are thinking too highly of me!”Jacob hurriedly said, “By the way, Matilda, I have already booked a room at Shangri-La hotel for lunch today. Why don’t we head over there to have a welcome meal for you and Paul now?”Matilda smiled before she said, “Thank you, Jacob. I really appreciate the fact that you came all the way here with Charlie to pick us up and treat us to lunch today…”“It is only right for me to do so!” Jacob smiled awkwardly before he said, “Well, we happened to drive here today so we can go together in one car!”“Okay.” Matilda nodded before she said to Paul, “Son, tell your driver that we will not be ta
