She was a little surprised as she asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade, what are you doing up so early?”
Charlie smiled and said, "I wanted to go out for a walk and take a look around. I also wanted to see how many mansions there are on Steerlain Island.”
Marianne asked in surprise, "Mr. Wade, are you planning to buy a house on Steerlain Island?"
Charlie smiled casually and said, "Yes and no. Even if I were to buy it, I would not be the one buying it.”
Marianne did not quite understand what Charlie meant, but it sounded as if Charlie was really interested in Steerlain Island. So, she was overjoyed and hurriedly said," Mr. Wade, I can make the introduction if you are interested in the houses here. The Halbert Mansion next to us is for sale, and it belongs to the Halbert family from Hong Kong."
Charlie smiled and said, "I'll go and take a look, then."
Marianne hurriedly asked, "Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, it's alright.” Charlie said, "Don't you have something to do in a while?"
Having said that, he realized that Marianne did not look too good. So, he asked curiously, "Marianne, did you not sleep well last night?"
Marianne was a little embarrassed, and she straightened her hair as she stammered and said, "Well, I could not sleep well because it kept raining last
night...”
Charlie did not think much about it, and he nodded gently as he said to her, "Your complexion looks bad, and you'll also have to go to Tsim Sha Tsui for the whole day today. I'm afraid that your body will not be able to bear it."
Having said that, he walked up to Marianne and said very seriously, "Come, give me your hand."
Marianne did not know exactly what Charlie wanted to do, but she still blushed and handed her right hand over to him.
Charlie smiled slightly and said," Marianne, you can head to the dining room to eat first. I’ll go out for a walk.”
“Okay." Marianne nodded and said, "Mr. Wade, you can text me on WhatsApp at any time if you have any questions. You can also take a photo of the house number if you find a house that you like, and I will get people to ask about it on your behalf."
“Okay."
Charlie agreed and then waved at Marianne before he left the Long family's mansion alone.
Charlie did intend to buy a house on Steerlain Island as he had told Marianne just now, but he did not intend to buy it himself. Instead, he intended to let Shawn pay for it.
Moreover, he did not plan to live there himself after buying the mansion. Instead, he planned to have Janus and his family live here.
Shawn was aggressive and had murderous intentions toward Janus. Although Charlie did not intend to make things too difficult for Shawn, it was still necessary for Charlie to dampen his dignity and spirit!
