Life at The Top novel Chapter 577

As if sensing Charlie’s nerves, Dawson smiled. “You don’t have to be too polite. While this is the first time we’re meeting, we’re going to be a family very soon. You’re older than me, so I’ll just treat you as my brother and call you Charlie. You can do the same as well.”

Seeing how easy-going such a wealthy man like Dawson was, Charlie immediately took a liking to the man and chuckled. “Then I’ll just call you Dawson, since I’m older than you.”

“There we go. This must be my sister-in-law, then?” Dawson turned to smile at Sally and greeted her.

Seeing how their parents were speaking cheerfully with one another, both Jasper and Wendy exhaled a sigh of relief.

“You look beautiful today,” Jasper told Wendy with a chuckle.

Wendy was donned in a pink faux-fur coat today with a scarf around her fair neck. Her choice of clothing had only made Wendy look more bright and playful.

Wendy chuckled. “You look very handsome today as well.”

The two families entered the villa with smiles on their faces, and Charlie gave Jasper a look to prompt the other to bring out a large box. Jasper then handed it to Dawson. “Uncle Schuler, my parents didn’t know what gift to get since it’s their first time coming over. Please enjoy this small offering of ours.”

Dawson was stunned. “It’s enough that you’re here, what’s with all this gift-giving?”

“These are rare goods, Dad. Some 200-year-old wild ginseng,” Wendy told him as she stood beside him.

Dawson’s expression changed. “200 years old? What a treasure.”

He opened the box in front of everyone, and within the red gift box was a stalk of wild ginseng that would unfurl to a length of more than one meter long. It looked like it was pregnant.

“This is too much,” Dawson turned to Charlie.

Charlie smiled. “Its value isn’t important. You were the one who told me not to be too polite.”

Dawson did not protest and accepted the gift with a smile.

Lunch went by joyfully.

Both Dawson and Charlie had drunk some alcohol, so the two went to their own rooms to rest after lunch.
