The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 4627

By the time Charlie had walked to the terrace on the third floor of the villa alone, Shawn and Janus’s family’s convoy had already driven into the villa courtyard one after the other.

The reporters flocked in after the convoy. The best lion dance troupe in Hong Kong then performed two life-like lion dances to perfection, and the scene was extraordinarily lively.

Although Charlie had never liked lively scenes, he too felt extraordinarily relieved as he witnessed this scene.

The thick smoke generated by the explosion of the firecrackers was accompanied by the strong and rich smell of gunpowder. This familiar yet unfamiliar smell suddenly gave Charlie a refreshing feeling.

Growing up, he had always liked the smell of gunpowder smoke when the firecrackers burnt out. However, he hadn’t smelled this familiar smell for a long time since there was a ban on fireworks and firecrackers everywhere over the years.

Perhaps it was also related to the Oskian people’s love of fireworks and firecrackers during festivals, so whenever there was this smell, it would be during a happy family reunion and other happy events. This was especially so when Charlie was young and his parents would especially take time off to set off fireworks with him during the New Year and other festivities.

Charlie could not wait to set off fireworks from New Year’s Eve to the 15th day of the New Year during that time.

Therefore, this kind of smell also caused Charlie to involuntarily recall the happiness that was unique to his childhood.

Charlie stood on the edge of the terrace, inhaled a couple of breaths, and he could not help but think of his parents again.

Charlie was usually a strong person most of the time. He rarely shed tears, and he was never afraid. He could still live life with a smile even if life gave him countless trials and tribulations.

However, the fragile sensitivity in his heart would be involuntarily exposed only when he missed his parents.

His character was like a hedgehog with a strong armor, and his parents were his soft and fragile abdomen.

Charlie, who was young at that time, had shaken his head ignorantly and asked, “Why, Dad?”

His father had smiled slightly and explained, “That’s because people can lose the other two souls, but they can never lose the soul of heaven! The reason behind this is because among the three souls, the soul of heaven is the most important because it represents a person’s highest belief. A person’s faith in his homeland, his motherland, and his nation is the highest belief. This is the reason why I chose to return to Oskia. It is also the reason why many people would always choose to return to their home country despite everything and despite going through many hardships.”

These people were just like his father, and they had wanted to find their soul of heaven. The only difference was that his father had left his homeland, whereas those people were forced to lose their homeland.

When Charlie was young, he did not know anything about patriotism, so he did not understand why his father was in tears when he had said these words.

However, looking at Janus’s radiant expression now which looked as if he had been reborn, Charlie finally understood his father’s enthusiasm.

Charlie could not help but think about how he had not left his homeland to develop overseas, nor had he forgotten his original intention or was blinded by materialistic desires. Nevertheless, his three souls had long ceased to be complete. This was because his soul of earth, which represented his parents, had also gone away with his parents on the day they had passed away.
