Chapter 3310
Stephen had already stepped out of the front of the car, and he came outside the door of the car where Charlie was at. He then took the initiative to open the car door and said respectfully, "Young Master Charlie, we are here."
Charlie nodded gently.
He was still not in a hurry to get out of the car.
Instead, he said to Quinn, who was in the car, "Nana, thank you for going through the trouble of sending me here."
Quinn smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Charlie, why are you still being so courteous with me?"
Charlie nodded and said, "In that case, I will go down first. You don't have to come and pick me up tonight. I will ask Mr. Thompson to send me back after I'm done here."
"Okay." Quinn hurriedly said, "I will wait for you at home, then."
Charlie nodded before getting out of the Rolls-Royce.
At this moment, Felix was already dying from anger.
He lowered his voice and complained to his father, Clayton, who was beside him, "I don't know why this Charlie is putting on so many airs! Grandpa has already brought all of us out to greet him personally,
but he's still not getting out of the car. He was actually waiting for Mr. Thompson to open the car door for him! He's being too arrogant, right?"
Clayton glared at Felix and rebuked the latter in a low voice, "Watch your mouth! Don't you know that a loose tongue can cause a lot of trouble?!"
Felix could only shut his mouth resentfully.
Although his heart was still filled with indignation, he did not dare to continue showing too much discontent.
Charlie did not greet the members of the Wade family immediately after he had gotten out of the car.
Instead, he stood outside the car, turned around, and waved at Quinn, who was in the car. He only turned around after watching the Rolls-Royce that Quinn was in leave.
Most of the members of the Wade family were very dissatisfied with Charlie's performance. However, Jeremiah was not angry at all. Instead, he was very excited as he went forward and took Charlie's hands, choking up as he said, "Charlie! You're finally back home after being away for so long! God is indeed blessing the Wade family! I will die with no regrets now that I've lived to see you return to the Wade family!"
Charlie knew that the old man's words did not have a high degree of credibility.
However, he did not refute his words or embarrass him. He said politely, "Grandpa, it has already been so
many years. Sorry to have made you worry."
Jeremiah said emotionally, "It's okay. It's okay. Everything is fine as long as you're back!"
As Jeremiah spoke, he hurriedly took Charlie's hand and faced the members of the Wade family behind him as he said enthusiastically, "Come! Charlie, you've been away from home for too long, so you might not remember many people. I will introduce them to you." At this time, Charlie noticed that Helena, who was standing amongst the crowd, was staring at him unblinkingly with her pair of blue eyes.
Charlie and Helena's eyes met briefly. When Charlie saw the grateful and pleading look in Helena's eyes, he pretended not to see it. Instead, he turned around immediately to look at his uncle, Clayton.
This was because the first person that Lord Wade was going to introduce to Charlie was his eldest son, who was Charlie's eldest uncle, Clayton.
Although Charlie and Clayton had not seen each other for twenty years, a middle-aged man's appearance would not change much, and so, Charlie could recognize him at a glance.
Jeremiah pointed at Clayton and said to Charlie," Charlie, this is your eldest uncle. Do you remember him?"
"Yes, I remember." Charlie nodded. Out of observance of etiquette, Charlie also took the initiative to speak up," Hello, Eldest Uncle. It has been a long time."
Although Clayton was a little
dissatisfied with Charlie, he managed to keep up with the superficial appearance on the surface as he sighed and exclaimed, "Charlie! I'm really happy that you could come back! You don't know how much we have worried about you for so many years."
Charlie nodded and said politely, "Thank you, Eldest Uncle."
Clayton had a fake smile on his face as he said," Charlie, how long do you intend to stay in Eastcliff after coming back this time? You can let your brother Felix take you to look around Eastcliff!" Clayton's words were also what many people wanted to ask Charlie.
All of them wanted to know what Charlie's intentions and plans were after coming back this time.
Did he plan to come here to attend the ancestor worship ceremony before returning to Aurous Hill, or was he simply intending to stay here without leaving anymore?
This was especially so for Clayton.
After all, he knew that Lord Wade
was already getting old, and he would be handing over the power as the head of the Wade family soon. At that time, Clayton would naturally be the new head of the Wade family, and Felix would naturally be the candidate to become the next heir of the Wade family.
However, Charlie's sudden return at this time would definitely affect the future and direction of their development in some way or the other.
Therefore, Clayton had to understand Charlie's intentions first.
Charlie obviously understood the
meaning behind Clayton's words. He
smiled slightly and said, "Eldest
Uncle, the reason why I came back this time is to acknowledge my ancestors. After acknowledging my ancestors, I will naturally be a member of the Wade family again. So, as for your question of how long I intend to stay here, my answer is I will stay here as long as I want to!"
After he was done speaking, Charlie smiled and said again, "Even if I will not be staying here often in the future, I will have to ask Grandpa to leave me a room because I will definitely be coming back often!" 10
