Charlie could not help but feel a little desolate because Quinn had already left.
At this time, the courtyard was silent, and the weather was a little cold. Charlie sighed even more as he looked up at the moonlight and the stars in the sky.
He would never have imagined that Quinn's concert would come to an end in this manner. As Charlie thought back on those old pictures from the concert, h e was very touched as well as ashamed deep inside his heart.
Although Charlie had been through a lot of hardships over the years, Charlie could be considered to have led a carefree life with no worries about having no food or clothing because of Stephen’s secret protection when he was still in the orphanage. It was only that his material conditions were simply a little tougher.
Still, Charlie would never have thought that Quinn and her family were sparing no efforts in order to find out about his whereabouts during these years when he was going through all these hardships.
Charlie already felt very moved simply because of this goodwill alone. He did not know how to repay them, not to mention how Quinn had been loyally abiding by their marriage contract on her own for so many years.
She held deep affection and love for him, and she had been wholeheartedly waiting for him for nearly twenty years. 3
So, the question of how he could ever repay these three members of the Golding family for their affection and goodwill had already become a knot in Charlie's heart that he could not untie. 3
The reason why he could not solve this problem was simply because he could not think of any good way at all.
After all, he also had Claire, who had been married to him for four years and had never once thought about leaving him before.
Just as Charlie was sighing to himself, Claire, who had a cotton jacket wrapped around her, walked out of the villa, holding onto Charlie's down jacket.
She came to Charlie's side as she gently placed the down jacket over his shoulders and spoke up," Husband, why did you come outside and stand here in a daze? It's quite cold tonight.”
