When Lisa spotted Charlie, her face lit up with a mix of joy and surprise.


    Without hesitation, she dashed towards him, gripping his arms tightly with both hands. “Brother Charlie, why haven’t youe back to visit us at the orphanage for such a long time?” she asked eagerly.


    Charlie feltpletely at ease despite her firm hold on his arms. He responded with warmth, like an older brother would, “I haven’t been doing well since leaving the orphanage. I felt a bit embarrassed to return and face all of you.”


    Lisa’s eyes glistened with tears as she absorbed his words. She choked back a sob and said, “Mrs. Lewis told us you’ve been working on a construction site since you left. She mentioned that you send her all your hard-earned money so she can buy us books, clothes, and food. Why didn’t youe back to see me? It’s been so many years, and I haven’t seen you at all…”


    As she spoke, tears streamed down Lisa’s face. “When Mrs. Lewis was sick, I heard her say you would visit her in the hospital. But you always came after we had left. It felt like you were intentionally avoiding us. Do you have any idea how ufortable and upset all of us were because of that?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie sighed deeply at her words.


    Life had been tough for him after leaving the orphanage. He worked tirelessly at the construction site every single day of the year, never taking a break. He would only keep enough money to feed himself and sent the rest to Mrs. Lewis.


    He hesitated to return to the orphanage during those difficult times, not wanting his younger siblings to see him in such despair. He didn’t want to set a poor example for them.


    Even after marrying into the Wilson family and bing a well-known live-in son-inw in Aurous Hill, he felt too ashamed to visit the orphanage.


    When he learned that Mrs. Lewis was ill, his concern for her surpassed that of anyone else.<fna329> Find the newest release on find?novel</fna329>


    Charlie had always felt embarrassed about facing his friends from the orphanage.


    Later, when he became wealthy, receiving ten billion dors from the Wade family and inheriting the Emgrand Group, Mrs. Lewis was still not at the orphanage, which was why he hadn’t returned.


    With his newfound wealth, Charlie intended to donate money to the orphanage. He had hoped to wait for Mrs. Lewis to return so he could find the right moment to make a generous contribution.


    Besides wanting to see Mrs. Lewis, another reason he attended the wee dinner for her today was to figure out how to donate without raising any suspicion.


    This was ire’s first visit to the orphanage with Charlie, making it her first encounter with Lisa.


    ire was taken aback by Lisa’s youthful beauty and couldn’t help but notice how close Lisa and Charlie seemed to be.


    However, ire quickly reassured herself, recognizing that Lisa was a younger sister figure who had grown up alongside Charlie. Their closeness waspletely natural.


    Noticing the tears in Lisa’s eyes, Charlie said gently, “Lisa, I didn’t want you to see me at my lowest point. But things are different now. I’m doing much better, and I finally feel ready toe back and visit all of you!”


    As he spoke, Charlie took ire’s hand and smiled, “Let me introduce you both. This is your sister-inw. What do you think? Isn’t she beautiful?”


    ire felt a flutter of nerves when Charlie suddenly held her hand. Although they had been married for over three years, they hadn’t shared many intimate moments.


    Yet, she didn’t pull away; she let him hold her hand.


    When Lisa saw ire, her earlier sadness shifted to envy.


    Looking at ire, Lisa couldn’t help but feel a pang of inferiority.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
