The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2571
“Charlie?” Jasmine heard Nanako's question and then saw her big eyes filled with expectation. Her heart couldn't help but feel some emotion. ‘It seems that this little girl’s feelings for Charlie are truly buried deep in her bones, but she lives in Japan most of the time, so I really don't know what she will do in the future.’ Immediately after, she thought of herself and couldn't help but secretly mock herself. ‘Just thinking about her, how am I not the same? Although Charlie and I both live in the same city, he is, after all, a married man, It is not so easy to meet with him.’ Thinking of this, she sighed and said to Nanako, "I truly haven't seen Charlie these days. The last time I saw him was the time I went to Aurora's house for a dinner gathering."Nanako nodded somewhat disappointedly and sighed, "Well, I don't know if I would have the chance to meet Charlie-kun more frequently this time..." Jasmine asked in surprise, "You didn't tell him that you came this time?"

Nevertheless, Jasmine didn't explicitly say it over the phone, so Charlie couldn't directly show that he already knew the exact situation. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?"Jasmine said, "Grandpa said he hasn't had the chance to invite you over recently, so he wanted me to ask if you had time to come over for dinner tonight."Charlie didn't expect that Jasmine's words would be that Lord Moore wanted to invite him to dinner. She never mentioned Nanako, so Charlie guessed that it should be Nanako who wanted to give him a surprise.When he thought of that beautiful and generous but also gentle and quiet Yamato Nadeshiko, Charlie’s yearning for her would inevitably surge in his heart. The scene of him with her in Kyoto’s snowy night stroll again in his mind.After a moment of contemplation, Charlie pretended to know nothing and said to Jasmine, "Since the old man has invited me, I naturally can't refuse, so please tell him that I w

After hearing the words of his father-in-law, Charlie was dumbfounded. ‘When was I supposed to have a meal with my father-in-law?’ Just as he was wondering, Jacob kept winking at him, and at the same time, he urged, “Oh, Charlie, why are you still wearing an apron? Go back into the house and change your clothes, we are going to be late!” At this moment, Elaine asked, “Jacob, you do nothing at the Calligraphy and Painting Association all the time, so why do you still bring your son-in-law along? Since when does he have the time to socialize with you?” Jacob curled his lips and said, “What do you even know? Charlie knows Albert, and Albert is very famous in Aurous Hill. Mr. Bay from our association would definitely give face to Albert. It just so happens that the top management of our Association is about to change. This time around, I have to make Mr. Bay recommend me as the vice president. If that happens, I will be the second in command of the Calligraphy and Painting Associat

Charlie replied with a hum, went back into the room to change his clothes, and then came out to the garage. Jacob was already eagerly waiting in the passenger seat. Charlie got into the car and asked him, “Father, are you really going to have dinner with Mr. Bay tonight?” Jacob waved his hand. “No. I have no intentions to dine with him. That guy has done nothing but constantly shower me with flattery, trying hard to suck up to me. I’m bored of it and I am too lazy to entertain him.” Charlie then asked curiously, “Then, what are you up to now?” Jacob hurriedly said, “Just now, Aunt Matilda informed me via WhatsApp that she seemed to have a fever. Just so happens that Paul has gone on a business trip again, and your Aunt Matilda is home alone with no one taking care of her. I was just thinking of buying some medicine and food and sending it to her.” Charlie was taken aback, and he immediately asked, “Are you going to Aunt Matilda’s house?” “Yes.” Jacob nodded and blurted out,

As soon as Charlie had driven away, Jacob grew a little impatient and hastened his pace. In truth, ever since Matilda had told him on the phone that she was returning to Oskia, his heart had been filled with thoughts of Matilda. After Matilda had returned to Oskia, it had ignited the spark that had been buried in his heart for so many years. In the recent two to three decades, Jacob’s happiest moment was when Matilda had returned. When they were at his house and cooked together. That moment when Matilda and himself were embracing in the kitchen. However, Matilda was a very sensible person. She knew that Jacob and Elaine were yet to divorce, therefore, she had always kept a strong sense of rationality and was unwilling to make any substantial progress with Jacob. Jacob often found himself distressed over this, but he had never had a chance to find a breakthrough for their relationship. Although Jacob had been very useless all his life, he was, at the very least, a normal man

Matilda replied, “I just measured it. It was thirty-nine point two degrees Celsius. I already ate the fever medicine, but it seems like it hasn’t taken effect yet.” Once Jacob heard the temperature, he felt as though his heart was being torn out. He proactively bent down and pressed his forehead against Matilda’s forehead. After feeling it for a moment, he blurted out, “Your forehead is indeed terribly hot. Why don’t you go sit down on the sofa first, and I’ll get you a wet towel.” Matilda said in embarrassment, “I’m so sorry to trouble you, Jacob…” Jacob said solemnly, “Why are you being so polite with me? Do you remember the time during university, when I was in my dormitory and had a fever which made me unable to attend class? You took the initiative to skip class and went over the wall to the boys’ dormitory and took care of me for the entire day.” When Matilda heard this, her expression immediately became extremely shy. The past that Jacob had mentioned, naturally, she r

“Oh!” Although Jacob felt a sense of disappointment, he still had to pretend to have a sudden realization. He patted his head and exclaimed, “Oh! My stupid mind keeps recalling memories of the past and forgetting the more important matter at hand.” He then hurriedly said, “Matilda, please sit down and wait for me. I will get you the wet towel!” Matilda hurriedly replied, “There is a bathroom on the first floor. Just make a left turn in front.” “Great!” Seeing that Jacob had turned around and gone to the bathroom, Matilda finally felt a sense of relief. In truth, Jacob’s purpose was very clear to her. To be honest, Jacob was not only her first love, but he was also the man she had loved the most in her entire life. So, naturally, she has some fantasies and expectations for Jacob. However, she was a woman who had received higher education and had been decent her entire life. She knew that although Jacob and Elaine were separated for now, their marriage was still official.

Jacob smiled and said, “Why are you thanking me? That time, didn’t you do the same for me?” Matilda heard those words, and her face blushed even more. She whispered helplessly, “It’s all in the past… You shouldn’t be constantly talking about it…” “Impossible!” Jacob said emotionally, “I will never forget what happened that day, even till the day I die. After so many years, I have been wanting to tell you. It’s just that I didn’t get the chance. Now, a good opportunity has arisen, and yet you still want to stop me from saying…” Matilda said helplessly, “I didn’t stop you from saying it… I just… I just…” Matilda didn’t know how to continue the topic. So, she sighed and said, “Hey, I was just thinking… If you come here after such a late hour, wouldn’t Elaine be very upset if she finds out? Why don’t you go home now? Let’s not make Elaine unhappy.” The moment Jacob heard her mentioning Elaine’s name, he snorted coldly. “Matilda, don’t mention that old hag in front of me. If i

However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,

Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th

Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone

Vera kept her plan to investigate the identity of the abbess deep in her mind and told Charlie nothing.Instead, she smiled as she said, "It seems that it's both yours and Ms. Ito's good fortune that she has attained enlightenment. You've never had anyone who could attain enlightenment and master Reiki at the same time, so Ms. Ito will definitely be a great help to you in the future."Charlie chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not hoping for her to help. I'm simply happy for her with her enlightenment and excited to have another comrade in my solo ventures into the dark forests."Vera nodded in understanding, and she murmured emotionally, "I've lived for so long, and it's only when I opened my heart to you that I felt that sensation you described."There was a flicker of wistfulness in her eyes.She really did not expect to attain enlightenment before meeting Charlie.Years ago, she thought that she would eventually avenge her father.Now, she no longer hoped to murder Fleur Griffi
