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
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 t o 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
