Wee to Jinling Old Town.


    The house where Charlie spent his childhood with his parents has undergone a remarkable transformation and now standspletely renovated.


    Deana, the devoted mother of the Banks siblings, dedicated immense effort to meticulously restoring and rebuilding this old home piece by piece. While the exterior resembles what it once was, it feels as if time has rewound by two decades.


    During her time in the house, Deana embraced a peaceful routine. Each day was filled with reading, sipping tea, and practicing calligraphy, while she also took great joy in tending to the flowers and trees in the yard during her free moments. She truly cherished this tranquil life.


    Throughout this period, Fitz had been on a pilgrimage, and Zara was often away for work, leaving little opportunity for them to return and keep herpany. However, Deana found great contentment in her solitary existence.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Though she worried about Fitz, she understood that Charlie’s actions were a form of discipline for him. She had faith that Charlie would ensure his safety, as he would not take such matters lightly.


    This belief was not merely based on her understanding of Charlie but also stemmed from her insights into his father, Bruce Wade.


    Bruce Wade is a man of formidable power; he expertly bnces kindness and strength. He leaves no room for genuine enemies, yet he offers mercy to those who do not deserve death.


    Deana recognized that Fitz’s journey to the Jokhang Temple would be fraught with challenges, and sleeping outdoors would inevitably introduce risks. Nevertheless, her faith in Bruce Wade assured her that Charlie would bring her son home safely.


    Her instincts were correct. Even though Charlie sent Fitz on his pilgrimage with a heavy hand, he ensured the Wade family would protect him from the shadows.


    One thing Deana was certain of was when she heard her daughter express a desire to ask Charlie to allow Fitz to return for their father’s wedding, she was convinced that Charlie would agree.


    At that moment, Deana prepared for Fitz’s return, gathering a change of clothes, toiletries, a jar of warm water, and a feast, eagerly awaiting his arrival.


    Though she maintained a calm demeanor, her heart raced as she heard the sound of brakes outside. With a mix of excitement and nervousness, she opened the door and stepped outside.


    Just then, Zara’s car came to a halt, and the brother and sister exited together.


    As Fitz spotted his mother through the wrought iron gate, tears began to stream down his face.


    Deana felt her own eyes welling up in response.


    Fitz pushed open the gate, rushed towards his mother, and unexpectedly knelt before her, crying out, “Mom… I was wrong!”<fn4f38> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fn4f38>


    Seeing her son in such a distraught state startled Deana, but she quickly rushed to help him up, her voice trembling as she said, “Get up, you’re right. Mom never med you…”


    Deana’s perspective on Fitz’s past decisions aligned with that of his sister, Zara.


    While their affluent family resembled an ancient pce, Fitz never intended to harm his mother or sister—he merely stood up against them to protect himself and secure his future. This response was entirely understandable and even forgivable.
