The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1802

Nanako wanted to say many things to Charlie, but she did not know where she should begin. So, she simply started telling Charlie about her childhood and past. 3

Although Nanako was born into a wealthy and influential family, she did not have a very happy childhood.

Her mother had died at a young age. Although her father never remarried, this could not make up for the shortcomings during Nanako’s childhood.

Moreover, Yahiko was always busy with work all the time, and he had very little time that he could allocate and spend with Nanako. Besides, Yahiko had always been a very serious and stern man. So, Nanako lacked a lot of love and affection during her childhood. 3

Nanako's mother was a young lady from a very prestigious and traditional family, so when she was still alive, she would always teach Nanako in a very traditional way. Thus, Nanako would also follow in her mother’s footsteps and learn about tea ceremony, painting, embroidery, and needlework. She had even learned how to read poetry. It could be said that the Yamato Nadeshiko side of Nanako was given to her by her mother. 1

However, after her mother passed away, Nanako had fallen in love with combat and fighting. This was because she felt that she could temporarily forget the

sadness and unhappiness in her life when she was practicing combat and fighting. 3

In the beginning, Nanako only practiced combat and fighting so that she could escape reality, but over time, Nanako began to fall in love completely with it. 3

After she finished telling him her childhood story, she chased after Charlie and asked him, “Charlie-kun, can you tell me a story of your childhood?” 3

Charlie smiled bitterly before he said, "When I was a kid... I experienced two extremes. I lived a very good life before I was eight years old. My parents were kind and loving, we were wealthy, and we led a worry-free life. However, my parents died unexpectedly when I was eight years old. After that, I became an orphan who was homeless out on the streets. I ended up growing up in an orphanage after that...” 2

"Ahh?!" Nanako was surprised when she heard this, and she said in distress, "I am sorry, Charlie-kun. I did not mean to..." 1

Charlie smiled slightly before he said, "It's okay. You don't have to apologize.”

Nanako replied emotionally, "If that is the case, I guess I have had a much happier childhood compared to you then, Charlie-kun. Although my father is usually very strict and stern with me, I know that he still loves me very dearly deep inside. However, he does not show his love and affection softly and gently...” 1
