Semua Bab The Charismatic Charlie Wade: Bab 951 - Bab 960

When the three of them stepped out of the orphanage and were about to head toward the restaurant, a pleasantly surprised voice sounded in their ears, “Charlie, Stephanie!”The both of them turned around and saw several figures walking toward them.These people were all the friends who had grown up with him in the orphanage.However, there were many people from this group that Charlie had basically not seen again ever since he had left the orphanage. The only person he had kept in touch with after leaving the orphanage was his close friend, Harvey.During Charlie’s early years in the orphanage, he had a very reticent attitude and personality because of his parents’ accidental death. He was very introverted and withdrawn, and he would not even speak a single word to anyone else for the whole day.He was often isolated by the other children because of his personality.Charlie could still remember that Harvey, who was a little older than him, would always stand up for him and play

The window of the Mercedes-Benz was wound down. Charlie peered at the man behind the window and instantly recognized him.He was Max Wyatt, the guy who had taken the liberty to organize today’s gathering in their messenger group.However, Charlie and he were just normal acquaintances.Max was dressed in a suit that seemed tight over his chubby figure and leather shoes. He stopped the car when he saw the crowd, poked his head out of the car window, and said, “Oh, hey, sorry guys for keeping you waiting.”A tinge of arrogance and hubris hovered in his eyes. He cleared his throat and explained in a smug tone, “Oh, there was a traffic jam on my way here, that’s why I’m late.”Someone gaped in surprise, “Wow, Max, is this your car? When did you buy it?”Max laughed pompously. “I just got it two days ago.”Charlie squinted in realization. No wonder this guy was so eager in organizing the get-together, he just wanted to show off his brand new car to his childhood friends!Someone aske

Max was getting more agitated when he saw Charlie’s beautiful wife, so he put on a sarcastic smirk and said, “Hey, Charlie, I haven’t seen you for years, you have changed a lot, man. You look so polished and shiny, a typical toyboy and moocher face!”Then, he scanned Charlie from head to toe, shook his head, and said in a mocking tone, “If only I knew how easy it was to be a live-in husband, I wouldn’t have had to spend years working my *ss off. Just look at me, after working so hard for years, ruining my health in the process, I’ve finally been promoted to a director position. It’s so shameful to compare myself to the king of moocher like you!”Max deliberately teased Charlie in such a cynic way because he wanted to boost his social status as well as discriminate against Charlie.He couldn’t help looking at the young and attractive Stephanie.Since he couldn’t get his hands on Claire, the younger Stephanie with her tender skin and flawless face was the second-best choice!When th

Claire quickly said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Lewis. Charlie and I are doing great.”Then, she blushed and said apologetically, “Mrs. Lewis, I’m sorry for not being able to visit you in Eastcliff. I wouldn’t even have known that you had recovered and were back to Aurous Hill if Charlie hadn’t told me. I’m terribly sorry…”“Oh no, please don’t, honey. You guys have helped so much. You took care of me in the hospital when I was seriously ill. I may have already died from the illness if it weren’t for you two helping me with the bills…”Mrs. Lewis’ eyes reddened with tears and she choked up, “I’m ever so thankful to you, Claire. You had to take care of the Wilson family affairs as well as me, it must have been very hard on you. I feel very thankful and guilty at the same time. I’m a burden to both of you. It should be me who says sorry!”Claire grabbed her hands tight and said, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t forget that I am Charlie’s wife! You are his fairy godmother, which means you are my fairy godm

Mrs. Lewis hurriedly interjected, “Max, I can understand your kind intention, but we don’t have to go to such a high-end place just to celebrate my recovery. It’s too expensive!”She continued, “Besides, it’s just a meal. I can cook for you guys, let’s just eat in the orphanage. This way, you can save your money for other purposes. Don’t spend it on me, it’s not worth it…”She had been thrifty and frugal her entire life that she had never been to such a luxurious place before. Moreover, she would feel awkward and uneasy to dine at a place that would cost so much money.However, Max smiled and said, “Mrs. Lewis, please don’t say that. You literally brought us up, it’s about time for us to repay your favor. Besides, I’m not the only one to cover the bill, I’ll share it with them!”Seeing Mrs. Lewis’s hesitation, he persuaded, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t worry, it won’t be too expensive. The Hyatt Hotel is my company’s client, I can get some discounts on my visit, so it will cost them only a f
