The reason for taking a look at Feng Shui did not arouse his family's suspicion.
Although Claire did not want Charlie to continue running around to take a look at other people's Feng Shui, she knew that she would not be able to force Charlie. So, she did not say anything else. 2
Charlie simply packed two pieces of clothing with him, and he was ready to set out early in the morning before dawn. Unexpectedly, Claire also secretly set an early alarm clock, and she quickly got out of bed and insisted on sending Charlie to the airport.
When Charlie saw her firm and determined attitude, h e did not turn her down. After that, they agreed on a plan to go to the airport together. Charlie would drive t 0 the airport, and Claire would then drive the car back directly after they had arrived at the airport. Charlie's reason was that this way, they would not have to waste time to park the car at the parking building, and he would be able to temporarily stop at the departure gate directly and leave immediately.
Claire agreed, and the couple then left the house together.
Claire thought that Charlie was only going to Rochester City, and she did not know that her
husband was going to Syria. So, on the way to the airport, Claire also introduced several special snacks i n Rochester City to Charlie so that he could try them out if he had the time to do so.
When they arrived at the airport, Charlie parked the car at the side of the road near the departure area before he said to Claire, "Alright, then. You should hurry up and drive home while it is still early. That way, you can still catch up on some sleep for a while." 2
Claire nodded, and the both of them got out of the car. Claire then walked over to the driver's car door. Before she got into the car, she asked Charlie, "Husband, how long will you be gone before you come back?"
Charlie thought about it for a moment and said, "I'll take a day or two if it's fast, and probably two to three days if it's slow. It mainly depends on whether the other party’s Feng Shui situation is tricky or not. If it's trickier, it could possibly take me a few more days."
"Okay, then." Claire nodded gently and said, "Then, you will have to take good care of yourself over the next few days. Make sure that you eat on time and go to bed early." 3
"Okay," Charlie agreed fully with her, and he then instructed her, "Make sure that you drive safely and pay attention to your safety when you're driving back home."
"Yes, I know that!" After saying that, Claire got into the car reluctantly before she left.
Charlie watched Claire's car disappear into the distance before he then took a step forward as he walked toward the business jet terminal.
