Cynthia was weary of enduring such difficult days.


    The thought of waiting until the Spring Festival to return felt like a slow torment for her.


    Lord Wade tried to console her, saying, “Alright, Cynthia, just hold onto your temper for a few more days. If Charlie refuses to let you go, I’ll personally call him.”


    Cynthia was filled with frustration but dared not express it further.


    In her heart, she reflected, “I can see it clearly now. To my father, Charlie holds the utmost significance in the Wade family.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “After all, if he marries Stefanie, Orrin’s daughter, he would be one of the heirs to the Sun family’s vast fortune, which would greatly benefit the Wade family.”


    “Given this situation, how can my being married hold any weightpared to Charlie in my father’s eyes?”


    “It seems I have no choice but to swallow my pride.”<fn53f0> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? F?nd-Novel</fn53f0>


    With a hint of anger, she replied, “Alright, Dad, I understand… I’ll wait patiently for a few more days. But if Charlie doesn’t say I can leave in three to five days, you must call him and discuss it…”


    As she spoke, her nose tinged with soreness, and she began to sob.


    Lord Wade reassured her, “Don’t worry, just give it three days. If Charlie hasn’t let you go by then, I’ll call him myself!”


    Cynthia nodded, her voice choked as she said, “Dad, I’ll hang up now…”


    “Alright, take care.”


    Once the video call ended, tears streamed down Cynthia’s face uncontrobly.


    At that moment, a knock echoed at the door.


    Cynthia sprang up from her bed and hurried to the door, flinging it open.


    Before she could see who stood outside, she burst out in frustration, “You bastards, when are you going to let me out?”


    Charlie looked at Cynthia, noticing her weary expression and swollen eyes, and frowned. “Auntie, the weather in Aurous Hill is damp and chilly. You’ve been here for nine days. Isn’t it time to calm down?”


    As soon as Cynthia recognized Charlie, her annoyance red. “Charlie! You promised I could leave after seven days, but your people have kept me locked up for nine! Why haven’t you let me go?”


    Her gaze shifted to Don Albert, who stood beside Charlie. She scolded, “It’s this jerk who has kept me here for an extra two days!”


    Charlie replied coldly, “I intended to keep you here for two additional days.”


    “You intended what?!”


    Cynthia retorted angrily, “You said seven days, but now it’s turned into nine! Why is that?”


    Charlie shrugged and replied nonchntly, “Are you my aunt? It’s not easy for you toe here, so why would you leave in just seven days? It makes sense to extend your stay by two more days, don’t you think?”


    Cynthia felt her temper rise at Charlie’s dismissive attitude and shouted, “Charlie! Don’t y games with me! I know you well enough! You’d better let me go back quickly!”


    Charlie shook his head gently, letting out a sigh. “It seems you haven’t calmed down at all after nine days. The air in Eastcliff is dry. If you’re this upset, it’ll only be worse when you return. I think you should stay in Aurous Hill a little longer to fully cool off before leaving!”


    With that, he turned to Don Albert beside him and said, “Don Albert!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
