The next day, Claire woke up early before going to the company to work.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Elaine, Charlie spent the whole day thinking about Carmen.
Ever since Stephen found him, the Wade family had never shown up or appeared directly in his life.
As for Charlie, he really enjoyed and liked this situation where he did not have to deal with anyone from the Wade family at all.
However, if Carmen was going to break the silence between him and the Wade family this time, then this could only mean that the Wade family had already begun their plan to try and win him over. No matter what it was and no matter what their intentions were, they did not want Charlie to continue remaining in Aurous Hill.
Even if he were to reject and turn down his aunt's request after meeting her today, the Wade family would not give up just like that.
It seemed as though the Wade family would become a long-term trouble for him in future.

At 5.30 pm, Charlie told his mother-in-law, Elaine, that he had something on tonight and he would not be
having dinner at home. 2
After that, he left the house alone before he took a cab t 0 Shangri-La.
Isaac had initially offered to drive and pick him up but Charlie turned him down immediately. 4
The Wade family had always believed that Isaac was one of their men. If Isaac was too attentive and solicitous towards him at this time, then the Wade family might find out about this abnormality. 5
When Charlie arrived at the entrance of the dining area at Shangri-La, he saw that Isaac was already waiting there in person.
