Charlie was caught off guard by Stefanie’s remarks.


    “Are you referring to marrying a divorced man?”


    Is this Sun girl really that naive? It’s just a childhood verbal agreement between our parents. When did it be such a big deal?


    She’s young, stunning, and has an air of cold arrogance about her. Surely, she must have a unique perspective—why is her mindset so traditional?


    With these thoughts swirling in his mind, he couldn’t help but speak up: “That little thing about us from our childhood? It really shouldn’t be taken seriously. You shouldn’t let it hinder your happiness!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Stefanie responded earnestly, “Charlie! You unscrupulous rogue, I’ve been waiting for over ten years! Are you telling me now that it’s not true? Believe me, I’ll hold a press conference tomorrow to announce our marriage contract!”


    As she said this, Stefanie yfully scrunched her nose at him in a mock threat: “Just so you know, thisdy has many fans. Don’t me me if I incite them to target you! You’d be known as the world’s biggest loser, and everyone would be pointing fingers at you!”


    Charlie felt defeated.


    He realized that Stefanie was serious; otherwise, she wouldn’t have sought him out alongside her father for all those years.<fn0971> Get full chapters from f?ndnovel</fn0971>


    If he continued to dismiss her feelings, it would undermine themitment and effort she had put in over the past decade.


    Out of respect for Stefanie, he said seriously, “Daisy, we’ve just reunited after a long separation. There are many things we need to think through carefully. Please give your brother some consideration today; let’s focus on the matter of cooperating with my wife and enjoy a meal together!”


    Stefanie’s expression softened slightly, and she muttered, “Alright! I’ll give you this one. But you’re getting married, so you better exin everything to my dad when we go to Eastcliff! I can’t guarantee he won’t be tough on you!”


    Afterward, she shot Charlie a yful re and added, “I need to go now; I have to arrange a meal because I’m feeling hungry.”


    In truth, Stefanie wasn’t really hungry. She was eager to meet Charlie’s current wife.


    It was quite a stroke of luck that Charlie’s wife was also one of her fans.


    Charlie quickly reminded her, “What time is it? It’s not even five o’clock yet; do you really need to eat now?”


    Stefanie replied, “Can’t I feel hungry?”


    Charlie responded, “I have some matters to take care ofter, but I’ll pick up your sister-inw. If you’re hungry, I can have Liam take you to Shangri-La first. Your sister-inw is looking for you too, but remember what I told you—don’t let your guard down when you meet her.”


    “Oh, I know!” Stefanie replied, her tone a bit impatient. She didn’t want to admit that Charlie’s wife was her sister-inw; she viewed her as a rival in love!


    Just then, there was a knock on the door. Charlie invited the person in. Liam entered and said respectfully, “Master Wade, I’vepleted the contract with Miss Cherie.”


    Charlie nodded and instructed, “Liam, please arrange a car for the two of them to go to Shangri-La. Mr. Cameron will handle the arrangements. You both should sit and wait for me; I need to wrap up a few things first.”


    Liam replied respectfully, “Of course, Master Wade!”


    ……


    After sending Liam to take Stefanie and Cherie to Shangri-La, Charlie hopped on an electric bike and rode to the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute by himself.


    Inside, he was filled with questions that needed answers.


    He felt that his first stop should be Mrs. Lewis at the orphanage.


    Since someone there had deliberately concealed their identity, Mrs. Lewis might have some important information.


    Upon arriving at the orphanage, Charlie headed straight to Mrs. Lewis’s office.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong></p“as>
