Charlie did not expect that Yule and Rachel would also be coming to Aurous Hill.
After he heard these words, he hurriedly asked, "Have Uncle Golding and Aunt Golding already arranged their itinerary? Do you want me to arrange for their accommodation in advance?"
Quinn smiled as she said, "I reckon my parents will only be able to go over to Aurous Hill on the day of the concert. Moreover, they have a lot of things to do back i n Eastcliff. So, they will be only be going over to participate in the concert before directly taking a flight back home at night.”
As she spoke, Quinn said again, "In truth, my parents are not really there to see my concert. After all, my next concert will be held in Eastcliff. Their main reason is to mainly meet you and also celebrate your birthday." 1
When Charlie heard that Yule and Rachel were coming to celebrate his birthday for him, he could not help but feel very touched. At the same time, he also felt a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly said, "Nana, as a junior, how could I possibly let Uncle Golding and Aunt Golding come all the way here from afar just to celebrate my birthday?" 3
Quinn casually laughed and said, "Oh, it's fine! My parents have always treated you like their own son anyway. Besides, you also saved my father's life and the fate of our family. With this kind of kindness, even if you go all the way to the United States, my parents would certainly rush over there to celebrate your birthday for you!"
As she spoke, Quinn then said again, "Brother Charlie, do you remember that when we were young, both of our families would always make time to celebrate together when it was your birthday or my birthday. At that time, since we would always have to eat dinner at home with our extended families, the six of us from both of our families would always look for a place to have a meal together during lunch." 1
Charlie said with certainty, "Of course I remember! You would always be around me to sing a birthday song for me, but I’d always feel embarrassed when my mother asked me to sing to you when it was your birthday..."
"That's right!" Quinn smiled as she said, "You were such an introvert back then! You did not talk much, and you did not want to play with me much at all. I was always taking the initiative to pester you..."
Charlie sighed in his heart. It was not because he was introverted back then, but because he had felt ashamed and uncomfortable!
Imagine it. He was just a young child, but he had been told that he would have to marry that young girl who liked to follow him around in the future. So, how could he possibly not feel uncomfortable?
However, Charlie did not say these words. Instead, he laughed and said, "Perhaps I was a little shyer when I was young.” 2
Quinn smiled and said, "Brother Charlie, why don't you celebrate your birthday with my family at noon this time too? My parents would certainly be especially happy. What do you think?” 1
As Charlie calculated the time, Quinn then hurriedly added, "Brother Charlie, I know that you'll certainly be having dinner with your wife at home on your birthday. That is the reason why I set the time of the concert to begin at eight o'clock at night..."
