Jeremiah frowned when he heard this, and he asked Stephen, "Stephen, you were also at the scene at that time. Do you think that Charlie was being serious when he said those words at that time, or do you think that he was just making careless and irresponsible remarks?”
Stephen said respectfully, "Lord Wade, I think that Young Master Charlie truly meant what he was saying. It did not seem like he had any frivolous intentions." 3
Jeremiah nodded gently and spoke up, "I think so too."
Felix suddenly blurted out, "Grandpa! You cannot possibly be serious, right?! Charlie was obviously taking advantage of Helena. How can you say that he does not have any frivolous intentions?" 3
Jeremiah said indifferently, "In my opinion, Charlie must have seen some kind of health issues on Helena’s body. Based on my understanding of Charlie, he would not act so rashly as to rack his brains just to make up some stories just so that he could take advantage of a girl.”
Felix protested. "Grandpa, you're being too biased toward him! As the saying goes, you might think that you have known a person for a long time, but you might not even understand his true nature! Besides that, he has already been away from home for so
many years now, so you would not know the kind of character and personality he has! Moreover, Helena is an absolutely stunning beauty, and many men would have improper thoughts about her when they see her. So, why wouldn’t that be the case for Charlie, then?"
Jeremiah gently shook his head and laughed slightly before he said thoughtfully, "Felix, I might really lack understanding of Charlie, but I know more or less about him too..."
Speaking of this, Jeremiah looked at Felix and said solemnly, "And your understanding of Charlie is really lacking!"
"If you understand a little more about him, you will know that if he really wants to take advantage of a girl, there is no telling how many girls would line up and offer themselves to him just so that he would act frivolously toward them.” 3
"Furthermore, any one of these girls would not be any worse as compared to Helena!"
