The other side.


    Charlie took udia back to Mrs. Lewis’s new home after their trip to the shopping mall. Alongside Lisa, just like in their time at the orphanage, they lent a hand in the kitchen, helping Mrs. Lewis prepare a delightful spread of dishes.


    Mrs. Lewis and Lisa were thrilled to hear that udia’s educational ns were set. They both wholeheartedly supported her decision to major in archaeology.


    The four of them enjoyed a joyful lunch together, and Lisa suggested, “Brother Charlie, do you have any ns for this afternoon? If not, let’s take udia to see some of the famous sights in Aurous Hill!”


    Charlie apologized, exining, “This afternoon might not be the best time. I just got back and have some urgent matters to attend to.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He had already reached out to Isaac Cameron to track down Abbas, seeking the current address of the elderly woman who had given him the phoenix bone vine.


    Besides visiting the olddy, Charlie also needed to prioritize the wedding arrangements for Zayne and Kairi.


    During his time in America, Zayne’s proposal to Kairi had significantly changed Charlie’s perception of him.


    Furthermore, as the father of Zara and Xion, Charlie didn’t want to prolong the awkwardness, so he was eager to facilitate the wedding, hoping that once it was done, he could fully grant Zayne his freedom.


    They were all waiting for Charlie’s return to China to discuss the wedding date, so he nned to tackle that this afternoon.


    Lisa, understanding his busy schedule, smiled and said, “No worries! udia still has about a month before school starts, so we have plenty of time. We can talk about it when you’re free.”<fn9f84> Checktest chapters at fin?novel</fn9f84>


    “Sounds good,” Charlie agreed. “Let’s touch base after I finish up these tasks in the next few days.”


    Afterward, Charlie sent Xion a WeChat message to check if she was at He’s vi.


    Xion, surprised by his message, replied, “Mr. Wade, you’re back?”


    “I’m back,” Charlie confirmed. “I’m not far from the Elms family’s vi. If you’re there, I’ll stop by shortly.”


    “I’m here!” Xion eximed excitedly. “Everyone from the Elms family is here, including my dad! When will you arrive?”


    Charlie checked the time and estimated, “In about twenty minutes.”


    “Great!” Xion replied enthusiastically. “I’ll wait for you!”


    After bidding farewell to Mrs. Lewis and the others, Charlie drove to He’s vi on his own.


    The Elms family had been basking in joy recently, unable to contain their happiness.


    Kairi had miraculously healed from her broken arm, and Xion had significantly advanced in her training, achieving the rank of a five-star warrior. For the Elms family, these were blessings they could hardly have imagined.


    Another source of joy was Kairi’s eptance of Zayne’s marriage proposal. With Charlie back in China, they could soon choose an auspicious date for the wedding.


    Wilfred, the patriarch of the Elms family, had been beaming with happiness each day, eager for his daughter to marry soon.


    As a father, he had long worried about Kairi’s situation. A disabled woman with a broken arm, she had also been a single mother, facing the struggles of life alone for over twenty years. Now that she was finding love, it filled his heart with joy.


    As for Xion, her excitement was palpable.


    In the days leading up to Charlie’s visit, she had been browsing wedding ideas online, determined to n an unforgettable celebration for her parents.


    Upon hearing that Charlie wasing, Xion immediately shared the news with her parents and her grandfather, Wilfred.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
