Charlie knew that Dorothy was implicitly reminding Claire not to go out if possible. As for Charlie, he wouldn't go out unless necessary in order to avoid meeting the Ackers.
Despite that, how could Claire understand Dorothy’s subtle hint? She said almost immediately, "Don't worry, Miss Chan. We won't go anywhere."
Dorothy smiled and checked the time. Finally, she said, "Other VIP guests are arriving soon. They’ll be in the room next door. They'll arrive in ten minutes, and I’ll be attending to them soon. I'll excuse myself first so I won't interrupt you two.’
Claire nodded. "Sure. Go ahead, Miss Chan. Don’t worry about us."
"Alright." Dorothy nodded. Before she left, she said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, I'll be leaving."
After Dorothy left, Charlie sat absentmindedly on the sofa in the living area. The thought of his grandparents arriving in ten minutes made him restless.
Claire noticed that something was wrong with him. Charlie was acting strange. She sat beside him and asked with concern," Dear, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Charlie smiled and replied softly, "Lately, I've been traveling back and forth between two places too frequently. Maybe I'm a little tired."
Claire felt bad for him. "If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you to drive us here. You must be tired of driving all day and going around
with me...'
After that, she immediately said, "Maybe we won’t go anywhere tomorrow. Let’s just have a good rest at the hotel. Ill drive tomorrow."
