Stephen Thompson said, “Don’t worry, Madam wade. We wouldn’t dare to hide this matter from the young master. Once everything is resolved and he seeds in his revenge, we, the servants, will naturally tell him the whole truth.”
ire pursed her lips, thought for a long moment, then nodded and said, “If this is what’s best for charlie, then let’s do as you say. Let’s disappear from his life for now.”
Stephen Thompson added, “Mrs. Wade, when do you n to leave? I’ll make all the necessary arrangements in advance.”
ire hesitated. After thinking for a while, she finally said, “charlie nned a trip for us to the Maldives over the New Year. We’ve never traveled together in all these years, and I don’t want to miss this chance. Also, one month after the New Year is the second day of the second lunar month—the day the dragon raises its head. That’s charlie’s birthday. I want to celebrate it with him. Is that asking too much?”
Stephen Thompson nodded understandingly and replied, “Ipletely understand, Mrs. Wade. But may I ask, what are your ns for the second day of the second month? Or where will you be then? I’d like to prepare ahead of time.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
ire shook her head and said, “I’m not sure yet how charlie ns to celebrate his birthday next year. I’ll ask him first. Once it’s decided, I’ll let you know.”
Stephen Thompson responded quickly, “During this time, I’ll stay at Qixia Temple. If you need anything, Mrs. Wade, you cane find me here.”
“Alright,” ire replied with a soft sigh, her expression somewhat dazed. “Mr. Stephen , I’m… really exhausted today. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now.”
Stephen Thompson quickly bowed and said, “Thank you for everything, Mrs. Wade.”
ire offered a faint, bitter smile and turned to leave. But as she subconsciously recalled the date—February 2—something suddenly came to mind. She immediately turned back and asked, “By the way, Butler Stephen , I have a question. I hope you’ll answer me honestly.”
Stephen Thompson immediately said, “Mrs. Wade, please feel free to ask!”
After a brief moment of thought, ire said, “There’s a singer I really admire—her name is Stefanie sun. She’s also the only daughter of a prominent family in Beijing, with assets worth hundreds of billions. Since her debut, she’s never been involved in any scandals. She’s always imed she entered the entertainment industry to search for her fiancé. I suddenly remembered that she held a concert in Jinling on February 2, which happens to be charlie’s birthday. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but now, after everything I’ve learned, it feels like there might be some connection between her and charlie.”<fn85db> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fn85db>
ire paused briefly, looked at Stephen Thompson, and asked, “Butler Stephen , can you tell me honestly—what exactly is the rtionship between Stefanie sun and charlie?”
Stefanie sun was ire’s favorite singer—not just because of her beautiful voice and stunning looks, but more importantly, because she was perhaps the only celebrity in the entertainment industry with no scandals or even rumored rtionships.
Just now, ire suddenly recalled Stefanie sun’s concert on that particr February 2.
First, the date itself—February 2—is charlie’s birthday. Stefanie sun chose to hold her concert in Jinling on that very day. Initially, ire thought it was a mere coincidence. But now, knowing more about charlie’s past, she felt that it was likely not idental.
Second, Stefanie sun’s stated purpose for entering showbiz—searching for her fiancé—was widely known in the entertainment circle. ire had never connected this with charlie before, but she now realized it might have something to do with his mysterious disappearance from his original social circle during childhood.
And finally, there was Stefanie sun’s performance that day. She had worn a wedding dress and sung the song Tomorrow I’m Going to Marry You. Back then, ire hadn’t read too much into it. But now, piecing everything together, it seemed likely that the wedding dress was meant for charlie, and the song was sung specifically for him.
