As the door closed, the goddess who had captivated countless men, yet stood there with red eyes, choked back her emotions and asked Charlie, “Brother Charlie, don’t you remember me?”


    Charlie shook his head gently, his expression serious. “I’m sorry, but I left Eastcliff when I was just 8 years old. It’s been so many years that I don’t recall many people or events from that time.”


    Stefanie Sun’s eyes glistened with tears as she softly murmured, “Brother Charlie, I’m Daisy. Don’t you remember me? Daisy Sun!”


    “Daisy Sun?” Charlie’s brow furrowed slightly as he tried to piece together the memories from his past.


    The name rang a bell, and he attempted to visualize a little girl from his childhood. However, he quickly concluded that this was the very girl he had in mind.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Stefanie Sun, the daughter of the Sun family from Eastcliff, was nicknamed Daisy because her mother, ady from Hignd Falls, noticed that she often returned home with a daisy or two in her hands.


    Her father, Orrin Sun, was the third eldest in the Sun family lineage.


    In those days, Orrin and Charlie’s father were the best of friends, sharing an unbreakable bond.


    At that time, the Sun family wasn’t among the top three families in Eastcliff; in fact, they ranked outside the top ten.<fn438f> Original content can be found at FιndＮovel</fn438f>


    Charlie’s father yed a significant role in helping Orrin rise to prominence, supporting him in bing the head of the Sun family and strengthening their position within Eastcliff.


    Orrin was immensely grateful to Charlie’s father, and their camaraderie was akin to that of brothers. The fact that their children were a boy and a girl, with Stefanie, or Daisy, being just over a year younger than Charlie, led Orrin to suggest a childhood betrothal between them.


    While such arrangements aremon inrge families, they oftenck the romance depicted in films and dramas.


    In truth, many of these childhood engagements are merely strategic alliances, with families like the Wades and the Suns rarely motivated by genuine emotion.


    Charlie’s father didn’t take the proposal too seriously; he simply found Daisy, the daughter of his good friend, to be an adorable little girl and agreed to the idea in passing.


    However, given their young age, the arrangement remained just a verbal agreement between the two families.


    Charlie distinctly remembered that when this proposal was made, he was only four or five years old and felt somewhat resistant to the idea.


    Whenever their families gathered, Daisy would follow him around like a shadow, which he found rather bothersome.


    In his memories, Daisy was prone to tears; whenever he tried to distance himself from her, she would burst into loud sobs, much to the annoyance of the yful young Charlie.


    Moreover, whenever Daisy cried, Charlie’s mother would admonish him, saying, “Charlie, Daisy will be your future wife. You mustn’t bully her, understand?”


    Those words made Charlie squirm ufortably. At that time, he was engrossed in ying with toy guns and had no thoughts of marriage. The idea of being tied to a cryingpanion only added to his reluctance.


    Ultimately, this was merely a fleeting episode from his childhood. After leaving Eastcliff for Aurous Hill, he focused on his survival and never once thought about the girl who had once annoyed him.


    Yet, he never imagined that the little girl who had once cried so easily would blossom into a stunning and morous star. If she hadn’t mentioned her nickname, he would have never connected the two of them!
