Charlie took a while to fully grasp Sydney’s point, and he felt a twinge of embarrassment hearing her speak. After all, Doris Young is his employee. Even though the Emgrand Group operates independently, Doris Young is almost solely responsible for its management, operations, and development.


    In contrast, Charlie considers himself more of a hands-off businessman. If Doris Young were to leave her job to travel the world and fall in love, as Sydney suggested, it would essentially mean abandoning the Emgrand Group.


    Deep down, Charlie didn’t want that at all; after all, who would want a talented individual like Doris to step away from her work to roam the globe? However, he understood he was merely having a casual conversation with Doris Young’s parents, so he decided to go along with the discussion.


    With a smile, he replied, “Auntie, your perspective is quite valid. It’s important for young people to explore the world and enjoy life.”


    Sydney beamed at Charlie’s response and said, “Exactly! It seems we think alike. When the timees, you should help persuade Doris. Since you’re self-employed, you have more flexibility. If she resigns or takes an extended vacation, the two of you could travel together.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Me?” Charlie was taken aback and couldn’t help butugh. “Auntie, my schedule isn’t as open as you might think. I have plenty of responsibilities to manage.”


    Sydney waved her hand dismissively and said earnestly, “Listen, if you’re in your twenties and don’t make the most of life now, you’ll find yourself tied down with marriage and kidster on!”


    She then reflected, “When I was pregnant with Doris, her father and I faced so many challenges. I thought things would get easier once she was born, but it turned out to be even more exhausting.”<fnadd0> Read full story at find?novel</fnadd0>


    “We figured we could rx a bit once she started kindergarten, but when that time came, we realized it was just as hectic! We had to choose the right school, ensure her physical development, andmit to extracurricr activities like music, dance, and sports. Then came the demands of elementary school, where we had to bnce her interests with her academic growth. And let’s not forget the intense pressure during junior high and high school years—there’s never really a breather.”


    Mr. Young, who was lying in the hospital bed, couldn’t help but chime in, “Absolutely! From pregnancy to university, it’s been a real journey. The past couple of decades have been quite a grind.”


    Sydney sighed and added, “So, I insist that you young folks should really savor life while you can!”


    “The most crucial decade in a person’s life is between 20 and 30!”


    “During these ten years, you develop aprehensive worldview, establish your values, learn to discern right from wrong, and often achieve a degree of financial independence. It’s a time when you can finally step away from parental control and enjoy the freedoms of adulthood.”


    “If you don’t seize these years and enjoy them, you’ll undoubtedly look back with regret!”


    Charlie nodded in agreement. He recalled his own youthful dreams and aspirations. His parents’ education had always encouraged him to chase happiness, rather than focusing solely on traditional sess.


    His mother often reminded him that life is short and the world is vast, and she wished for him to find joy and explore every corner of it. If circumstances had been different, the Wade family’s wealth could have granted Charlie the freedom to pursue his dreams from childhood through his twenties.


    Charlie had never ced much importance on money, so upon reaching adulthood, it was likely he would not get involved in family conflicts. Instead, he might have spent his days traveling the world, enjoying every moment to its fullest.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
