Charlie didn’t expect that Paul would ask such a straightforward question! However, he knew that Paul was simply guessing and he would never admit it.
Before he could deny it, Jacob chuckled and said, “Oh, Paul, you are overthinking this. Charlie is our family’s live-in son-in-law. If he really is from the Wade family of Eastcliff, it would be a Cinderella story! All of us would prosper!”
Although Jacob was kind of a slack who hadn’t worked for a day in his life, he knew about the Wade family.
In fact, there were not many people in the country who didn’t know the Wade family because they were so famous.
Because of this, he was absolutely certain that Charlie was not one of them. There were a lot of people with the last name Wade in the world, but there was only one Wade family.
He knew Charlie’s life experience like the back of his hand. He lived in the orphanage when he was young, then worked on the construction site at the age of 18, later, Lord Wilson took him home when he was in his early 20s and became his son-in-law.
How could such a person belong to Eastcliff’s Wade family?
If Charlie was a member of the Wade family, then he would be the long-lost son of Jeff Bezos!
Paul realized that he had guessed wrongly upon Jacob’s remark. The Wade family would not allow their descendant to be a live-in son-in-law! Even the President of the United States could not have done so!
So he chuckled and said, “Oh, it seems that I misunderstood, I’m sorry. Because you are a Wade and you know Mr. Cameron who is the spokesperson of the Wade family, and also because Shangri-La is
one of the family’s properties, so I made the connection and a wild guess. I’m sorry, I hope you can forgive me.”
Charlie smiled. “It’s okay, Paul. It’s my pleasure, really.”
In the midst of the conversation, the manager brought them to the door of the suite and said, “Mr. Wade and his distinguished guests, please!”
They entered the suite. Charlie invited Jacob to sit in the main seat, and gestured to Matilda, “Auntie Matilda, please sit next to my father-in-law. You haven’t seen each other for so many years, you must have a lot to talk about.”
Matilda nodded with a gentle smile. “Yes, Charlie, you sit with Paul then, I see you boys are quite interactive.”
Charlie nodded hurriedly, but he kept reminding himself that he should be more cautious when speaking to Paul as the guy seemed to be quite subtle and insidious.
After everyone took their seat, Charlie passed the menu to the two elders and asked them to order the dishes of their preferences.
Jacob quickly said, “Hey, Matilda, I still remember what you like to eat, may I?”
Matilda gasped, astonished, “No way. Do you really still remember after all these years?”
Jacob grinned. “Of course! I’ll never forget it.”
Then, he lifted the menu and ordered several local Aurous Hill cuisine from the waiter.
Every time Jacob mentioned a dish, Matilda gaped her mouth in surprise. After Jacob ordered a few in one breath, she was so dumbfounded that her jaw almost dropped to the floor.
It was because each and every dish he had ordered was her favorite back in those days.
