If ire had not clung to this stubborn ‘stupidity’, she would have heeded everyone’s advice and let him go a long time ago.


    But if that had been the case, what kind of fate would he be facing now?


    Charlie could hardly bear to think about it.


    Life was incredibly tough for him before he married ire.


    Being an orphan meant he had no ce to turn once he reached adulthood, as the orphanage did not ept adults. On his eighteenth birthday, Mrs. Lewis celebrated by buying him a birthday cake with the little savings she had. They shared a bittersweet celebration before she tearfully sent him out into the world.<fn7a98> This text is hosted at find?novel</fn7a98><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In that moment, Charlie found himself once again helpless and alone.


    Mrs. Lewis wanted to assist him by introducing him to job opportunities so he could support himself, but Charlie felt too ashamed to ept her help.


    Determined to stand on his own feet, he found a construction site and began working there, moving bricks, sand, and cement at just eighteen years old.


    Reluctant to spend money on rent, he opted to live in a prefabricated house on the construction site, sharing cramped quarters with the otherborers. He ate the most inexpensive meals and took on the hardest, dirtiest jobs at the site.


    Charlie only kept a small portion of his earnings for himself, donating the rest back to the orphanage.


    He understood that many younger children still there were just as vulnerable and alone as he had been. They were young and in need of extra care and love.


    However, the orphanage had limited funds, allowing them only to provide basic food and clothing, without the means to ensure the children enjoyed better meals and clothing.


    Thus, he dedicated himself to donating whatever he could, hoping to help his younger siblings lead better lives. He even purchased textbooks for them, encouraging their education.


    After four years of hard work at the construction site, his team was hired by the Wilson family for a new project.


    During an inspection of the site, Lord Wilson immediately recognized Charlie’s resemnce to his grandfather from years past.


    The Wilson family had served the Wade family a century ago, and Lord Wilson knew of Charlie’s grandfather well!


    Long ago, Lord Wilson’s grandfather and his family had fled from disaster to Eastcliff, where they were taken in by the Wade family during a time of need.


    In gratitude, they chose to serve as the Wade family’s servants, establishing a longsting rtionship.


    Back then, the Wade family was one of the most prominent and powerful families in the country. The head of the Wade family treated their servants with kindness, allowing them to marry and have families while they worked.


    Lord Wilson’s father grew up in the Wade family household and continued the tradition of service when he became an adult.


    Eventually, Lord Wilson was born into this legacy, also growing up within the Wade family and taking on the role of servant as he matured.


    During his youth, he and the young master of the Wade family were of simr ages, growing up together, though Lord Wilson remained unaware of his own standing.


    Following a devastating war, the Wade family chose to relocate but could not bring many domestic servants along. They generouslypensated most of their servants before parting ways.


    Lord Wilson used his settlement money to return with his family to their hometown.


    Upon meeting Charlie, he was convinced that Charlie must be a descendant of the Wade family.


    After pressing Charlie with questions, Charlie ultimately revealed his background and life story.


    In a gesture of deep respect, Lord Wilson knelt before Charlie, bowing three times as a sign of gratitude to the Wade family for their kindness toward the Wilson family.


    Following this, Lord Wilson brought Charlie back to the Wilson household, insisting that his eldest granddaughter marry him.


    Unbeknownst to Lord Wilson, Charlie was destined for greatness.


    He simply believed that a descendant of the esteemed Wade family should not be relegated to a life ofbor on a construction site.


    As a family that had served the Wade lineage for generations, the Wilsons felt a duty to ensure that the young master of the Wade family was provided for and had a stable home.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
