Yule pulled Charlie to sit next to him.
As soon as they took their seat, he immediately said to Charlie warmly, "Charlie, come, let's eat first. I hope the food is to your liking. Otherwise, I'll have them make other dishes for you."
Charlie quickly said, "Uncle Golding, it's okay. I'll have what you have."
Yule nodded and started asking Charlie about what he had been doing over the years.
Charlie did not have much to hide from the Golding family except for the Apocalyptic Book-the secret that was buried deep in his heart. He basically told them everything else truthfully, including about his life before he turned eighteen, his life experience after eighteen, his acquaintance with Lord Wilson, his marriage to Claire, and his life after marriage.
The more Yule and Rachel listened to Charlie's illustration of his past, the more heartbroken and sorry they were. In their eyes, Charlie was, after all, a direct descendant of the Wade family. Back then, his father was the brightest rising star of the family. Reasonably speaking, Charlie should have lived an extravagant and comfortable life. However, in reality, h e had experienced constant hardship and despair in the outside world since he was a child.
After hearing Charlie’s illustration, Yule heaved a long sigh and asked, "Charlie, what do you want to do now? Are you ready to go back to the Wade family to meet your grandfather and the rest of the family members?”
