Micah grinned and said, “Alright, I promise I won’t babble on, but Sister Mia, could you satisfy my curiosity? I just can’t figure out who it is! What charm does he possess that could win the heart of Miss Mia Liu, the one who earned the title of Mie Shitai at the University of Hong Kong?”
Mia shot her a stern look and reminded her, “Focus on the important matters; stop with the gossip!”
Micah replied with a yful smile, “But how can gossip not be entertaining when ites to serious business?”
Suddenly, she recalled something and eximed, “Sister Mia, could it be the boy you brought along during thest charity sale in Tsim Sha Tsui? He mentioned he was your fiancé! Is there something going on between you two?!”
Mia looked at her, speechless, and sighed, “Please, stop being so cliché. Mr. Wade and I arepletely innocent; there’s nothing between us…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“Mr. Wade… innocent…” Micah teased, sticking her tongue out. “I bet you’re already thinking of names for your future kids, right? If you have a son, wouldn’t Wade be a perfect name? Oh, and if you don’t mind, I’d love to be the godmother!”
Mia felt her face heat up with embarrassment and replied, slightly annoyed, “Micah, if you keep this up, I might just have to distance myself from you!”
Micah pouted and asked, “Sister Mia, when can we invite him out for a meal together? I might not have many skills, but I definitely have a knack for spotting a scumbag during dinner!”
Mia expressed her mncholy, saying, “There’s no chance for that. He’s leaving tonight and heading off Hong Kong Ind.”
“What?” Micah eximed, surprised. “He’s going back to the maind? If I’m not mistaken, he must be from Aurous Hill, right?”
Mia, reluctant to let go, remained silent for a moment. Then, she murmured, “He’s going to the United States to apany his wife for school, but he’ll be back in Aurous Hill next month.”
Micah, bewildered, asked, “Sister Mia… what did you just say?! He… he has a wife?”
“Yes,” Mia affirmed, nodding seriously. “He’s been married for four years.”
“Wow…” Micah was taken aback, eximing, “Sister Mia, you… you can’t be serious…”
Mia instinctively fidgeted with the pen in her hand and murmured, “It’s not that I can’t think straight; I just can’t control my feelings.” As she spoke, she nced at the time on herputer and said, “Oh no, it’s already four o’clock! I need to ask him when he’s leaving.”
After discussions with Fei Kexin, Charlie set the flight to depart at 7 o’clock in the evening. The reason for the 7 PM departure was that Fei Kexin’s private jet would take about twelve hours to reach Providence. Leaving at this time would allow them to arrive at 7 PM local time in Providence, which was considered an idealnding time. Leaving too early would cut into Charlie’s final day in Hong Kong, while ater arrival could disrupt his wife ire’s rest.<fn000f> For original chapters go to fin?novel</fn000f>
However, the 7 PM departure posed a bit of a dilemma for Arman and Liu Jiahui. Both wanted to invite Charlie for a private dinner—Arman wished to express gratitude from his family, while Liu Jiahui sought to deepen their connection with Charlie.
Unfortunately, Charlie’ste departure time made it impractical to arrange dinner. Given the various procedures required for international flights, Charlie decided to leave for the airport at 5 PM, making it impossible to fit in a meal beforehand.
Upon receiving a message from Mia inquiring about his departure time, Charlie promptly sent her the tentative schedule.
When Mia got Charlie’s reply, she quickly stood up and told Micah, “Micah, I have to rush! The gift I prepared for him just arrived in Hong Kong half an hour ago, and I haven’t even picked it up yet!”
