Nevertheless, Jasmine didn't explicitly say it over the phone, so Charlie couldn't directly show that he already knew the exact situation. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?" 3
Jasmine said, "Grandpa said he hasn't had the chance to invite you over recently, so he wanted me to ask if you had time to come over for dinner tonight."
Charlie didn't expect that Jasmine's words would be that Lord Moore wanted to invite him to dinner. She never mentioned Nanako, so Charlie guessed that it should be Nanako who wanted to give him a surprise. 1
When he thought of that beautiful and generous but also gentle and quiet Yamato Nadeshiko, Charlie’s yearning for her would inevitably surge in his heart. The scene of him with her in Kyoto’s snowy night stroll again in his mind. 2
After a moment of contemplation, Charlie pretended t 0 know nothing and said to Jasmine, "Since the old man has invited me, I naturally can't refuse, so please tell him that I will go there tonight."
When Jasmine heard of Charlie's promise, she said happily, "That's really great. Do you need me to drive over to pick you up?"
Charlie laughed. "Don't bother. My father-in-law happens to be at home, I'll drive his car there later." "Good." Jasmine said with joy, "Then, I'll wait for Master Wade's presence at home!" 2
After saying goodbye to Charlie, Jasmine then ended the call.
At the side, Nanako, who was already dancing with excitement at this time, hugged Jasmine's waist and said happily, "Sister Jasmine, you are too wonderful!"
Jasmine said with a smile, "Don't just thank me! Ever since I've known Master Wade till now, this is the first time I've ever lied to Master Wade. When I meet him later, you'll have to explain to him yourself why you let me lie to him!" 4
Nanako said with a smile, "Sister Jasmine, don't worry. I will definitely explain it clearly to Charliekun. You have helped me so much, how could I let you take the blame for me?"
After saying that, Nanako added, "Right, Sister Jasmine, please help me make an appointment with Aurora. I have picked an Akita puppy for her from home, it's with my assistant at the moment."
