The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5704

Mr. Raven nodded excitedly and said, “Miss, you can rest assured. I understand! I completely understand!”

As he said that, he could not help but look at Charlie and say in an excited tone, “Mr. Wade, if I may be so bold to speak up, you are the only outsider that Miss has truly opened up her heart to in over three hundred years…”

When Mr. Raven realized that his words did not sound right, he hastily explained, “What I mean is, you are the only adult that Miss has opened up her heart to in all these years. The rest of us were raised and have served by Miss since childhood, and Miss only gradually revealed her secrets to us after seeing our good nature and loyalty.”

Charlie smiled awkwardly. He was unsure of how to respond, so he diverted the topic, saying, “Mr. Raven, you don't need to address yourself as a servant in front of me. I am truly unworthy…”

Mr. Raven responded without hesitation, “No, no, no. Since my enlightenment, I vowed to stay by Miss's side for a lifetime, to serve her faithfully. You are Miss's benefactor and friend, so I must naturally mind my manners and etiquette!”

He then sighed and said, “Mr. Wade, if I may speak from the bottom of my heart, I've been by Miss's side for nearly ninety years, and you are the only true friend she's had all these years. I am genuinely happy about it and sincerely hope that you and Miss…”

Vera noticed his slip of the tongue, coughed twice, and quickly interrupted, “Mr. Raven, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Mr. Raven was flustered and replied, “Miss, I got a little too excited when I saw our benefactor…”

After saying that, he quickly turned to Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, I hope you can visit Miss often. She has been alone for so many years without a close friend, and it's truly lonely…”

At this point, Vera felt embarrassed and intervened, “Okay then, Mr. Raven. Go and instruct Mr. Carrick to have all the servants stay in their rooms and prepare a car. I'll be sending Mr. Wade off later.”

Mr. Raven immediately responded, “Yes, Miss! I’ll get it done immediately!”

With that said, he bowed to Charlie once more, respectfully saying, “Mr. Wade, I’ll take my leave first.”

Charlie nodded and said, “Be safe, Mr. Raven.”
