Stefanie sun’s words left charlie Wade feeling slightly embarrassed.
He hadn’t expected the sharp-witted Stefanie sun to see through his thoughts so effortlessly.
As he drove, he smiled and said, “I’m not exactly avoiding them. It’s just that I need to discuss business with Tawana…”
Stefanie sun shook her head with a knowing smile and said, “Brother charlie Wade, even though we haven’t seen each other in years, I still understand you.”
She didn’t spell it out, but charlie Wade knew that her heart was as clear as a mirror.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
When he hesitated to respond, Stefanie sun spoke again. “Brother charlie Wade, there’s no need to overthink things. Priorities matter, and a slight dy won’t change much.”
charlie Wade nodded slightly and sighed. “It’s just that the elders seem a bit anxious.”
Stefanie sun replied seriously, “They’re worried—especially about the possibility of failure. But I’m not like them. I have no worries at all.”
charlie Wade smiled and asked, “Are you really that confident in me?”
“Of course!” Stefanie sun answered without hesitation.
She had always trusted charlie Wade unconditionally.
If charlie Wade ever told her that the earth was square, she wouldn’t suspect him of lying. Instead, she would believe he had the power to make it so.
charlie Wade was touched and said, “Stefanie, since you believe in me, then give me a little more time.”
“Okay!” Stefanie sun smiled warmly. “I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes. And if I grow old or fall ill and can’t wait any longer, Brother charlie Wade can just give me a few rejuvenation pills. I’ll take them while waiting for you.”
charlie Wade felt even more moved—and a little ashamed.
What virtues or abilities did he possess to make Stefanie sun think about him for so many years?
Although Stefanie sun trusted himpletely and believed he would emerge victorious, charlie Wade couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.
Sara had lived for more than 400 years—he had never encountered such an existence before.
For now, he remained in the shadows, temporarily avoiding direct confrontation, so there wasn’t much pressure.
But once he faced Sara, he feared he would stand no chance of winning.
So, he couldn’t help but ask Stefanie sun, “Stefanie, if one day I’m killed by the people of Poqinghui, will you be able to let go and move on?”
“No,” Stefanie sun shook her head and said firmly. “If Brother charlie Wade dies and my parents are still alive, I will stay by your grave on Yeling Mountain. When my parents grow old, I will follow you, and the Ye family can bury us together.”
“That’s a bit extreme, don’t you think?” charlie Wade blurted out. “It’s the 21st century—dying for love isn’t exactly in fashion anymore.”
Stefanie sun muttered, “Who said anything about dying for love? I just wouldn’t have any motivation to go on. In my life, aside from my parents and Brother charlie Wade, there’s nothing else I care about. If all of you are gone, living would only be suffering.”
charlie Wade stopped the car at a red light, turned to her seriously, and said, “Stefanie, I need you to promise me something, okay?”
Stefanie sun nodded. “Brother charlie Wade, tell me.”
charlie Wade spoke solemnly, “I don’t even know the true strength of the enemies I’m up against. If one day I die unexpectedly, I want you to take Uncle sun and Aunt Angie somewhere safe, where they can live well. I’ll prepare enough rejuvenation pills in advance so you can stay with them for as long as possible.”
After a brief pause, charlie Wade continued, “And when they eventually pass away from old age, I want you to keep living. With the rejuvenation pill, you can easily live to 150. Even if people find out, it won’t be too shocking.”
“I don’t want that!” Stefanie sun shook her head stubbornly. “Without you and my parents, living would be nothing but torture. Even if I could live to 150, I’d still have to spend more than 20 years alone after they’re gone.”<fn9c0e> Find the newest release on find·novel</fn9c0e>
