The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2575
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

Seeing Matilda promise to let him take her to the bedroom, Jacob was overjoyed with excitement. Ever since Matilda had come back to Oskia, Jacob had been looking forward to having the opportunity to relive his old dreams with her. Finally, today marked the beginning of something to look forward to. Under normal circumstances, Matilda was beautiful, dignified, and very independent. It was not easy to approach such a woman. However, Jacob knew in his heart that no matter how strong a woman’s heart was, she would unmistakably become a damsel in distress when she fell sick. At this time, no matter how powerful a woman was, she would surely drop all of her defenses. Jacob graciously helped Matilda into the elevator of the villa and took it all the way to the third floor. After Matilda had directed Jacob to assist her to the bedroom, she lay on the bed with his help. Jacob graciously helped her place two pillows behind her so that she could lean against the soft bed comfortably

With that being said, he hurriedly took another spoonful and fed it to Matilda. Matilda had had no appetite at all, but when she thought of having her energy replenished and the importance of nutrition, she forced herself to open her mouth and ate a spoonful of millet porridge. What surprised her was that as soon as the millet porridge entered her abdomen, she felt an extraordinary flow of heat flowing down the throat and into her stomach. It then dissolved in her stomach and warmed her entire body. This warm current was very rare for Matilda, who had been feeling cold all the time. She felt a lot more comfortable instantly. She couldn’t help but praise, “Jacob, this millet porridge is indeed comfortable to consume!” Jacob smiled and said, “That’s for sure! I have studied all kinds of health knowledge and am very experienced in it! In the past, when you were in the United States, it’s most likely that your lifestyle had been westernized. They only know when to take medications,

Jacob was stunned by the scene in front of him before he could even finish saying the word ‘bath’.Right then, Matilda had gotten out of bed and was standing by the bed.The down jacket had been taken off her body and she wore only a home singlet, not to mention that the sleeves on both sides were pushed up above her elbows.How was Matilda so different at this time as compared to that sickly look just now?!Looking at her, it could be said that she was in a state of excellent spirit. Her complexion was rosy and lustrous…What was more exaggerated was that at this time, Matilda, who was stretching her arms forcefully, may have felt that it was not enough to relieve the tension. So, she simply jumped twice.Jacob was dumbfounded. After being amazed for quite some time, he finally came back to his senses. He stammered and asked, "That… Matilda… You… How did you get out of bed?!"Matilda said with a strong voice, "Jacob! I feel completely well thanks to your bowl of millet porridge

As he thought of this, Jacob could only say begrudgingly, "Well, since you want to run, I will definitely have to accompany you, then!""That's great!" Matilda was busy saying, "In that case, you can go out first. I'll change my clothes quickly and we'll leave immediately!""Okay..." Jacob, who was depressed, could only agree, turn around dejectedly, and go out the door.This bedroom, originally in his eyes, was the tender place he had left behind for almost thirty years.But now, he could only stand outside the door, waiting for Matilda to change her clothes inside.The key was that Matilda, after changing her clothes, was dragging him to go running…The depressed Jacob let out a long sigh, covering his face with one hand and holding his head with the other as he squatted down in front of Matilda's bedroom.As he was squatting down, he was still thinking, 'What went wrong in the end?! It's hard to believe that the millet porridge really had such a magical effect!'After three

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega

Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade

Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd

Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
