As he spoke, he hurriedly asked, "Hurry up and tell me how the both of you came back! How did you manage t o come back within such a short time? Was the entire process very smooth?”
Charlie smiled as he said, "It did not proceed very smoothly at first, but it became very smooth rather quickly. I happened to meet and befriend the commander of the opposition force, and the other party was also very easygoing. So, he let Autumn go."
Yolden hurriedly looked at Autumn, who was aside, before he asked her, "Autumn, did you suffer any grievances when you were there?”
Autumn adjusted her sitting posture before she replied awkwardly, "They locked us up in a cellar, and they did plan to kill us at first. But fortunately, Mr. Wade rescued us in time. Otherwise, we would have already been executed one after the other..."
Yolden was extremely grateful as he told Charlie," Charlie, I really owe you my life for bringing Autumn home safely. From now on, my life belongs to you! May I be punished and struck by lightning if I dared to hesitate at all if there was something that you wanted me to do for you in the future!” 4
Charlie hurriedly said, “Uncle Hart, that is not
necessary. I did not even have to put in much effort. Besides, it is only right for me to help you since you were my mother’s good friend." 3
When Autumn heard these words, she exclaimed," Dad! Is Mr. Wade the son of the Aunt Acker you often spoke of?"
"Yes!” Yolden nodded as he said, "He is your Aunt Acker's only son, Charlie Wade!"
Autumn's eyes lit up in an instant as she said excitedly to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, I'll not hide the truth from you, but your mother is my biggest idol! I only decided to attend Stanford University after learning about her deeds. Not only that, but I also got to learn more about your mother’s deeds at Stanford University, and my admiration for her is already way beyond words..." 3
Charlie could not help but feel a little surprised. He really would not have expected that Autumn would also know about his mother's affairs very well.
This made Charlie feel very ashamed and embarrassed deep in his heart.
As he spoke, Charlie said again, "Look, whether it is Bill Gates from Microsoft, Larry Page from Google, or Elon Musk from Tesla, all of them came from a computer technology background, which is commonly referred to as code farmers. They might not be able to read people well or engage in mutual scheming or deception, but they truly understand technology, the market, and how they can use their technology to produce the products that would best meet the market's demands and needs. So, as long as they can d o what they are specialized in best, they can succeed. I t is also the same for you!"
"Mr. Wade, since you have already said so, I'll certainly do my best not to let you down!" 5
When Autumn heard this, her originally nervous and uncertain heart relaxed a lot.
However, even though she felt relieved in her heart, her body could not be relieved at all.
This was because as she was sitting on the sofa, she felt that her lingerie, which did not fit her, was making her upper body feel even tighter, and she felt a s though she could not catch her breath.
Yolden could see that his daughter was acting a little strange, and he could not help but ask, "Autumn, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" 7
