Charlie Wade contacted Steve and secured him to his boat. Despite Steve’s unkind demeanor, it’s important to remember he’s the second-inmand of the Rothschild family. Winning his favor could prove beneficial.
Moreover, if he spends the evening here, enjoying drinks and conversation with Zhou Liangyun, he might find himselfpletely entangled in this situation. Should he learn about his son with Bruce Wade and the Sifang Baozhuan that was taken from the Rothschild family, and if Zhou Peter were also at the table, things could get dangerous. Steve could very well decide to eliminate this traitor with a gun.
While it may be some time before he can im the title of heir to the Rothschild family, Steve’s value remains significant. Charlie had ns to influence his father, Howard, with Helena’s assistance, and then he would take the reins himself before heading to the United States. It would be akin to returning home.
With a smile, Charlie Wade looked at Steve and remarked, “Your attitude is quite impressive.”
He then raised his wine ss, grinning, “Let’s toast to the friendship among the three of us!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Risking it, Steve lifted his ss and cheerfully responded, “Cheers to friendship!”<fn2840> Find the newest release on find[?]ovel</fn2840>
The strong 53-degree liquor was a bit overwhelming for Steve, and he felt a chill after just a sip. He sighed, “This drink is really potent, just like the vodka I used to have at parties back in the day. Unfortunately, my health advisor has long warned me against consuming high-alcohol beverages. Even fine wines like Romanée-Conti are limited to a small amount.” He quoted the advice, stating it should not exceed one ounce daily.
With a hint of nostalgia, he continued, “As I age, my resilience diminishes, and even drinking has be less enjoyable. In my younger days, we downed vodka with a higher proof without hesitation. Now, I have to be cautious, dealing with various health issues and chronic ailments. The guidelines from my healthcare providers read like an extensive manual.”
Charlie Wade listened to Steve and responded with a smile, “It’s true; after thirty, our bodies start a downward trend. By fifty, issues are to be expected. However, as long as there are no life-threatening conditions, we can still function—much like a ssic car. It may have many problems, but it can still be driven.”
Steve gazed into his ss, lost in thought. “Reaching this phase of life feels challenging, just as you described. It’s like morphing into a ssic car filled with issues. No amount of wealth can change that reality. I own several ssic cars, and thanks to my expert team, they look as they did decades ago, yet they are delicate. Some can no longer be driven and are merely for disy. The ones that can be driven struggle to endure regr use.”
After a brief pause, Steve added, “Interestingly, humans fare worse than old cars. ssic cars can have parts reced easily. With dedication, one can even revive a production line that has been dormant for years to create brand newponents. But with people, it’s different. I can afford the finest homes and beds, yet I can never reim the sleep I enjoyed at twenty. I can hire the best chefs to prepare exquisite meals, but I can never recapture that youthful rest. My wine cer is stocked with the finest vintages, yet my health advisor restricts me to just one ounce a day. I had someone calcte it, and if I only drink one ounce daily, it would take over 6,800 years to finish my collection.”
Noticing the mncholy in Steve’s expression, Charlie Wade asked with a smile, “So, do you now grasp some of your father’s choices?”
Steve paused, then replied with a wry smile, “I do understand. If I could return to my former self, I would pay a fortune and make countless sacrifices. Let’s not dwell on that; let’s reminisce about five years ago. Back then, I could easily sleep eight hours, jog five miles, and y music every night. Now, I struggle to get six hours of sleep and haven’t run in a year and a half. It’s bing increasingly dull.”
As he spoke, Steve sighed and continued, “I long for my youth as I navigate my fifties. If I reach my father’s age, I will probably be even more concerned about the value of life and health.”
