The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5663

Vera chuckled, folded her hands gracefully at one side of her waist, and bowed slightly to Charlie. She said respectfully, “Young Master, you don’t need to address me so respectfully. You can just call me Vera.”

Charlie said earnestly, “No, you're almost four hundred years old, so I should address you as my elder…”

Vera smiled and said seriously, “In my point of view, I'm just a girl who hasn’t grown up, not an immortal old witch. Although I have indeed lived for nearly four hundred years, I still feel as if I’m just seventeen years old…”

“Well…” Charlie found himself in an awkward situation, with two conflicting voices arguing in his mind.

One voice said, “She's right. Even though she's lived for almost four hundred years, she has always been a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.”

The other voice argued, “But she's almost four hundred years old! What does four hundred years mean?! You haven't even reached thirty years old this year!”

Charlie was afraid of being tangled up in these conflicting thoughts, so he quickly shook his head, dismissing these thoughts. He then asked Vera, “Miss Lavor…”

As soon as the words ‘Miss Lavor’ came out, Charlie noticed a trace of dissatisfaction flickering between Vera’s beautiful eyebrows. So, he quickly corrected himself, “No, I meant to say you…”

Vera’s dissatisfied expression instantly disappeared and was replaced with a sweet smile. She blushed and asked, “What did you want to say, Young Master? I'm listening.”

Charlie asked in amazement, “How can you stay so young even after living for four hundred years?! You… You don’t look older than eighteen. Even if you've been taking Rejuvenating Pills, it shouldn't be possible for you to revert to your youth, right?”

Vera hastily explained, “Young Master, you’ve misunderstood. I haven't rejuvenated. I've looked the same as now since I was seventeen, and I haven't aged in over three hundred years.”

Charlie followed her gaze and saw words written on the spirit tablet: ‘Spirit tablet of my late father, Elijah Lavor’

At this point, Charlie no longer doubted Vera’s words. He suppressed the astonishment he felt and asked, “Did your father give you the Eternal Pill before he died?”

Vera turned her head again to glance at her father's spirit tablet. She replied, “Yes, my father gave the Eternal Pill to me before he passed away.”

Charlie was even more surprised, “Since your father had the Eternal Pill, why didn't he take it himself before he died? Taking it would have prevented his death, right?”

Vera nodded gently and her face was filled with sadness as she said, “Young Master, to answer your previous question, when I was truly seventeen years old, I was still practicing embroidery in a boudoir in Yorkshire Hill when my father suddenly appeared before me. In fact, he was also seriously injured like you were today…”
