    After a short while, Angie returned with a bottle of Maotai, elegantly nestled in a four-jin container.


    Orrin took the bottle, popping the lid open as he addressed Charlie: “Charlie, since the year Daisy was born, I’ve invested significantly each birthday to acquire the finest Moutai avable. To date, I’ve amassed a collection in a storage room in the basement. Each bottle is of auction-worthy quality, initially set aside for Daisy’s wedding day to host our family and friends. But today, let’s enjoy it a bit early!”


    Angie beamed and added, “Charlie, this particr batch of wine is incredibly special to your uncle Orrin. The storage room is like a treasure vault; only he has ess. It has been aging for over 20 years without a single bottle being touched until now—today marks the first time!”


    Orrin chuckled, saying, “This wine was originally intended for the wedding of you and Daisy, so it seems fitting to warm it up a bit!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Stefanie, who was nearby, immediately felt her cheeks flush.


    Charlie couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.


    Marry?


    I’m already married—how could I marry Stefanie again?


    Orrin noticed Charlie’s difort and spoke earnestly: “Charlie, I understand your current situation, so please, don’t feel pressured. Now that I’ve recovered, I expect to live another 20 or 30 years without issue. Remember, uncle is here to support you; our family has been patiently waiting for you for three years!”


    As he spoke, Orrin poured himself a ss of wine and continued, “In these past three years, you can resolve your current challenges quickly and then start nning your future—whether that means returning to Eastcliff or the Wade family. Take your time to consider everything. But remember, in my eyes, you will always be the son-inw of the Sun family. Everything that belongs to the Sun family is yours, regardless of your ties to the Wade family!”


    “That’s right, Charlie!” Angie chimed in, “You were born in Eastcliff and spent your early years there until you were eight. That’s your foundation. After marrying Daisy, the best choice would be toe back home!”


    “If you find theplexities of Eastcliff’s elite lifestyle overwhelming, I’m fully supportive of you and your daughter moving abroad together. You won’t need to worry about finances; your uncle Orrin and I have enough assets to ensure you both can livefortably anywhere in the world!”<fnb840> Get full chapters from FindN0vel</fnb840>


    Stefanie’s cheeks were still flushed as she quietly observed Charlie, her eyes reflecting deep affection.


    Charlie was acutely aware that his engagement to Stefanie was an arrangement made by his parents.


    That arrangement had persisted for over 20 years, and he felt he had not honored his parents’ wishes. If he were to dismiss it outright now, he would feel ashamed in front of his deceased parents.


    So, he nodded gently and replied earnestly: “Uncle Orrin and Angie, I will think about these matters thoroughly.”


    Charlie believed the best course of action was to put off making any decisions for now and to gradually navigate the situation.


    Orrin readily agreed and then handed Charlie a ss of wine. He picked up his own ss and said confidently, “Cheers, Charlie! Let’s finish this drink!”


    Charlie nodded in agreement, and they clinked their sses before downing all the Maotai in their cups.


    As Orrin savored the wine, a blend of familiarity and novelty washed over him, and he eximed, “Ah, now I realize that wealth and power pale inparison to good health! Health is truly the foundation of everything!”


    Then, turning to Charlie, he curiously asked, “By the way, Charlie, if it’s not too much trouble, could you share what kind of miraculous remedy you gave me? It has such astonishing effects—it feels like an elixir!”
