Helen nodded and pointed at Sophie, who was next to her, as she said to Claire, "Miss Wilson, let me introduce you to my daughter, Sophie."
As she spoke, she also said to Sophie, "Sophie, this is Claire Wilson, the boss of the design studio that I told you about."
Sophie nodded slightly and said politely, "Hello, Miss Wilson!"
Claire hurriedly said, "You don't have to call me Miss Wilson. You can just call me Claire." 4
As she spoke, Claire saw that Helen had already introduced her daughter to her. So, Claire naturally had to introduce her husband to them out of courtesy. So, she hurriedly turned her body sideways and said t o Charlie, who was still in the car, "Husband, you should also come out and greet Aunt Dunn and Miss Schulz."
In fact, Charlie, who was sitting inside the car, had already seen Helen and Sophie through the car’s rearview mirror.
Just as he was thinking about quickly driving away, h e would not have expected that his wife, Claire, would actually ask him to go down and greet them.
In this kind of situation, it would definitely be impossible for Charlie to simply step on the accelerator and leave just like that. 1
So, Charlie could only bite the bullet and get out of the car.
As soon as Charlie got out of the car, Sophie, who had excellent eyesight, immediately recognized him, and she nearly blurted out the word ‘benefactor’. Helen was also very surprised. She would never have expected that the designer that she was working with would actually be Charlie's wife. 3
While the mother and daughter duo were still extremely shocked, Charlie hurriedly took the lead and spoke up, "Good morning to the both of you. It's really nice to meet you for the first time." 2
When Charlie said that they were meeting for the first time, Sophie and Helen instantly understood what he meant.
Charlie definitely did not want the both of them to reveal the truth that they were acquainted with him in front of his wife.
So, Helen hurriedly smiled and said, "The both of you are really an ideal match."
As the three of them were walking, Helen asked with interest, "Claire, how did you meet your husband?"
Claire smiled faintly before she said truthfully, "My grandfather was the one who introduced my husband and I to one another."
"Your grandfather introduced you?" Helen was very curious, and she could not help but ask, "Then, how did the both of you get together?"
Claire said somewhat awkwardly, "How should I put it ... The both of us actually got married per my grandfather’s request..."
Sophie could not help but ask a little nosily, "Huh? So, the both of you did not get together freely after falling i n love?"
Claire bit her lip and said truthfully, "The both of us actually did not know or understand each other much before we got married..."
Sophie was suddenly a little excited, and she blurted out, "Isn't that equivalent to an arranged marriage in a feudal society, then?" 5
