With a lump in his throat, he struggled to hold back his emotions: “For all these years, I’ve been unable to find any trace of you. I once thought you were gone…”<fn387d> This update is avable on Find~Novel</fn387d>


    At that moment, Orrin Sun pressed his lips together, but the tears began to flow.


    After enduring for what felt like an eternity, his vision blurredpletely from tears, and he finally let it all out: “Charlie Wade, you are alive in spirit. Look at your son; he’s back! He’s finally here, and I can finally see him…”


    Orrin, overwhelmed with emotion, cried a few times before sumbing to a fit of coughing. Angie, standing by, quickly wiped her own tears and gently patted his back while saying, “Orrin, this is a joyful moment! Charlie is back. Please don’t cry; your health isn’t great, and you can’t handle such emotional swings.”


    Once Orrin had gathered himself, he nodded through his tears, took Charlie’s hand, and said earnestly: “Charlie, sit down and share with your uncle how you’ve been all these years.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    After saying this, he suddenly remembered something and turned to his daughter, Stefanie, eximing: “Daisy, how did you and Charlie meet?!”


    With red eyes and a shaky voice, Stefanie replied, “Dad, I’m sorry. I kept this from you and Mom. The truth is, when I went to Aurous Hill for a promotional event, I ran into Charlie. I just wanted to surprise you both when he came home.”


    Orrin nodded vigorously, his emotions evident: “A surprise indeed! This is a huge surprise!”


    As he spoke, he grasped Charlie’s hands firmly and said with sincerity: “Charlie, regardless of what you’ve faced in the past, it’s a blessing that you’re back. Please don’t return to Aurous Hill again. The marriage between you and Daisy was decided long ago by your Aunt Angie, your father, and your mother. No matter what has happened before, Daisy is still your fiancée. Now that you’re back, with my health declining, you two should seize the moment and n the wedding before it’s toote!”


    Charlie’s expression shifted to one of embarrassment and guilt at Orrin’s words.


    Noticing this, Angie quickly interjected: “Charlie, please don’t feel pressured. Once you marry our daughter, this will be your home. Whether or not you return to the Wade family, you are part of our family now!”


    Angie’s words, though subtly put, were clear to Charlie. She was affirming that regardless of wealth or status, he didn’t need to worry about the Sun family; he had his own home here.


    As he absorbed this, Charlie couldn’t help butpare Angie to his own mother-inw, ine. The difference felt as vast as the moonpared to a firefly.


    Feeling awkward, Stefanie chimed in: “Dad, Mom, just so you know… Charlie is already… married…”


    “Huh?” Both Orrin and Angie were taken aback!


    Charlie, equally embarrassed, addressed them sincerely: “I’m sorry, Uncle Orrin and Aunt Angie. This is my fault; I apologize for not honoring the agreement made between you and my parents…”


    Orrin sighed deeply, cing aforting hand on Charlie’s shoulder: “Charlie, while I may not know everything you’ve endured, I can tell it hasn’t been easy. You’ve been away since you were just eight years old. Let’s not dwell on the past for now. Please share with me what you’ve been through all these years.”


    “Of course.” Angie nodded in agreement, adding: “We can discuss the marriage contractter. For now, let’s eat and chat!”
