Claire felt very moved by Charlie's faint words.
She could not help but walk over to Charlie as she nestled gently in his arms. She looked up at the stars i n the sky as she said happily, "It will be the fourth year of our marriage after the New Year." 3
"That's right." Charlie could not help but sighed as he said, "It has already been four years. Time really flies b y."
"Is it fast?" Claire replied earnestly, "I don’t think that time flew by at all. Over the past four years, too many things have already happened. Too many changes have really taken place, especially in you."
Charlie touched his nose as he said, "What? Have I changed?"
Claire nodded as she said, "Of course you’ve changed! Whether it's the feeling that you give others, your aura, or your temperament, it seems as though you’ve undergone a huge change from the day we first got married."
As she spoke, Claire murmured softly, "However, it's actually very strange. It seems as though you've undergone a really big change but sometimes when I think about it, it feels as though everything is really natural. It seems as though you've always been like this..." 5
Charlie sighed slightly before he said, "Oh, that's right. Wife, the matter about heading to Eastcliff to take a look at the Feng Shui had already been set. I’ll be leaving in the morning tomorrow.”
"You're leaving tomorrow?" Claire asked in surprise. " Why do you have to leave in such a hurry?"
Charlie smiled as he said, "It's already December now and the New Year is only twenty days away. The client over there is also feeling very anxious. They want to get everything that they should get done before the New Year. So, I shouldn't cause any delay for them either."
Claire nodded slightly before she said seriously," Husband, although you can make a lot of money by looking at Feng Shui for others, I don't want you to be running around so often in the future. After you said this, I have been thinking about it. We've already been married for almost four years now and it seems as though we've never been separated for more than a day and night before. The thought of you going to Eastcliff for a few days makes me feel pretty uncomfortable..." 10
Having said this, Claire sighed melancholically as she said, "As you know, my parents have never had a very good relationship with one another. Ever since my mother lost two million dollars because she was gambling and after she got locked up in the detention centre because of MLM, it seems as though my father has really lost all feelings for her. This is especially so after Aunt Hall suddenly came back to the country. M y parents' relationship seems to have gotten even worse after that..." s
