The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5894

When Charlie asked if he had been to the temple, Stephen couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't know what Charlie meant by this question or whether Charlie knew about his whereabouts and whom he had met.

However, Stephen was quite clever. Since he was surprised, he didn't try to hide it. Instead, he asked with a surprised expression, “Young Master, how did you know?”

Charlie casually replied, “You smell of incense.”

Stephen suddenly understood and felt relieved at the same time.

However, he didn't dare to show any signs of relief. Instead, he smiled and said, “I went to Harmony Temple this afternoon. I happened to have some free time in the afternoon, so I went to the temple to pray.”

Charlie nodded without any doubts in his mind.

Stephen held a high position in the Wades, second only to the members of the Wades. As the butler, he had a lot of freedom in his work. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to take some time to burn incense and worship Buddha.

As for why he went to worship Buddha, Charlie didn't think much about it. After all, for Oskians, going to temples was as common as Westerners going to church. It seemed like normal behavior to Charlie.

So, Charlie skipped this topic directly.

However, Vera, who was beside them, glanced at Stephen a few times. She didn't notice anything unusual, but she felt that Stephen's appearance and demeanor were more like that of a staunch atheist. It seemed a bit odd for such a person to go to the temple.

Charlie waved his hand and said, “I can’t do that. To tell you the truth, I came this time mainly to see if the things my parents left behind could give me any clues or guidance. I plan to take some time to retrace their footsteps and visit the places they've been to back then.”

Jeremiah nodded gently, sighing, “Your parents were always mysterious. There are many things that I still don't understand. Since you have the curiosity to find out what happened, I’ll also support you.”

After saying that, he continued, “Your parents' rooms and study have been kept the same way it was twenty years ago. I haven't let anyone touch anything inside. Stephen has been responsible for maintaining them. You can go in and have a look after dinner. You can just ask Stephen if there's anything you're unsure about.”
