Charlie hoped that he would be able to reach the peak and have an awe-inspiring view from a very high place in the future.
However, he would prefer to be able to climb up entirely based on his own ability rather than relying o n others to achieve his success. 3
The meal went on very smoothly and naturally under this kind of family atmosphere.
After the meal, Charlie used his Reiki to dissipate all the alcohol from his body, and after confirming that h e would not have anything to do with drunk driving, h e drove Quinn to the performance venue first before driving Yule and Rachel back to Shangri-La.
The couple had a lot of things to do. So, they would be taking a short break at the hotel in the afternoon before they would have to fly back to Eastcliff overnight after watching Quinn's concert at the venue at night. 2
After Charlie heard of their plan, he spoke up and said, "Uncle Golding, Aunt Golding, why don't the both of you just rest at Shangri-La for the night instead of being so hard on yourselves to go back tonight. It should not affect anything even if you decide to only return in the morning tomorrow.”
Yule shook his head and smiled as he said, "There will be another meeting in the morning tomorrow. So, it will be too late if we leave tomorrow."
Charlie said, "But I'm afraid that your body will not be able to take it if you are so hard on yourselves."
Yule laughed and said, "It might have been slightly overwhelming and unbearable before this, but it is definitely not the case anymore now."
"That's right." Rachel also nodded and laughed as she said, "I feel as though I have inexhaustible strength in my body after taking the Rejuvenating Pill. Therefore, there should not be any effects even if we were to take a night flight. Your Uncle Golding and I will also be able to have a good rest at home after returning to Eastcliff tonight. After that, we can go to the group for the meeting directly tomorrow. This will actually be much more relaxing as compared to rushing back in the morning tomorrow."
When Charlie heard this, he did not persuade them any longer, and he hurriedly said, "In that case, I'll send the both of you to the airport tonight, then."
"No need, Charlie." Rachel said very seriously, "I heard Nana saying that you will be going to see her concert with your wife tonight. When the concert is over, you'll definitely go home with your wife. It will already be late at night by then. So, you cannot possibly leave her behind. Therefore, you can just rest assured and be at ease as you take her home. Your Uncle Golding and I can just go to the airport on our own."
Yule also said, "Charlie, you don't need to be bothered about us tonight. If you see us when you are with your wife, you don't need to greet us either. Otherwise, it would not be easy for you to explain things to your wife. We should just watch the performance happily tonight and go back to our own respective homes. We can get together again when you come back to Eastcliff for the ancestor worship ceremony!"
Charlie did not expect that Yule and his wife would actually look out for him and consider everything on his behalf. Charlie could not help but feel a little guilty even though he felt extremely touched.
The reason why he felt guilty was because Yule and Rachel had given him three years to settle his marriage with Claire so that he could marry Quinn after three years.
Although Charlie had never spoken up or denied anything in front of them at that time, he had already decided in his heart long ago that he would never divorce Claire, i
So, Charlie could not help but feel a little ashamed and embarrassed as he was faced with their unfailing care and concern now. 2
Thus, Charlie secretly decided in his heart. Since he would not be able to act according to the Golding family of three’s desires in the matter of marriage, he would have to compensate them even more in other aspects in the future... 9
