From what we can see, Charlie’s parents are truly remarkable individuals.


    Charlie’s father possesses a handsome charm, while his mother, Angie, radiates mour and generosity. No matter the time period, the beauty of Charlie’s mother stands out as exceptional.


    Sadly, the golden couple who once captivated Eastcliff have since faded from the spotlight, leaving behind only old photographs and cherished memories.


    Back in those days, Orrin was still single. At Charlie’s parents’ wedding, he stood proudly beside Charlie’s father, capturing a moment with the lovely couple.


    There are also treasured photos from Orrin and Angie’s wedding, where Charlie’s parents joined in to celebrate their union.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As time passed, Charlie was born, turning the original four into five. He was cradled by his mother in a photo that captured the joy of their growing family.


    Then came Stefanie, which expanded the group to six. These six individuals, starting from two tiny infants, evolved into Charlie standing proudly beside his parents, with Stefanie following closely by his side.


    Another delightful photo features the two siblings together. Charlie, being half a head taller, naturally assumes the role of the big brother, while Stefanie, affectionately positioned at his side, resembles the little sister.


    In this charming snapshot, Stefanie clutches Charlie’s arm tightly, her face beaming with happiness. Meanwhile, Charlie, with a hint of pretentiousness, deliberately maintains some distance, showcasing his yful demeanor.


    Orrin gazed at these nostalgic images and remarked, “I can’t believe how quickly time has flown. It feels like just yesterday you were so young.”


    As Charlie sifted through the old photographs of his parents, his eyes began to well with tears, but he fought back the emotion, determined to hold it together.


    Noticing this, Orrin gently patted Charlie’s shoulder, offeringfort. “Charlie, your parents understand. If they knew you were safe, it would bring them immense joy.”


    Charlie nodded, his heart heavy with emotion. “I just feel a bit ashamed facing them. It’s been years since myst visit, and I haven’t aplished anything to make them proud. I feel like I’ve let them down.”


    “Don’t think like that,” Orrin replied earnestly. “Your parents have always been open-hearted. They never expected you to be extraordinary. As remarkable as they are, their greatest hope was for you to grow up healthy and happy, free from worries.”


    With a smile, Orrin continued, “Did you know your mother adored the name Lily from Jin Yong’s novels? She often joked that if you were a girl, that would be your name, despite the character’s ws.”


    Charlie smiled knowingly, feeling warmth in his heart as he recalled his mother’s spirit.


    Indeed, as Orrin said, his mother never wished for him to achieve greatness. She always emphasized the importance of happiness and being a kind, upright person over societal status or aplishments.<fn3207> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on FιndＮovel</fn3207>


    After a heartfelt afternoon of conversation with Orrin, Angie entered with a tray of fruit and said to Charlie, “Charlie, we’ve prepared a guest room for you on the second floor, next to the girls’ room. After drinking so much wine at noon, you should rest. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out.”


    “Thank you, Angie,” Charlie replied with a grateful nod.
