Charlie hoped that he would be able to reach the peak and have an awe-inspiring view from a very high place in the future.
However, he would prefer to be able to climb up entirely based on his own ability rather than relying o n others to achieve his success. 3
The meal went on very smoothly and naturally under this kind of family atmosphere.
After the meal, Charlie used his Reiki to dissipate all the alcohol from his body, and after confirming that h e would not have anything to do with drunk driving, h e drove Quinn to the performance venue first before driving Yule and Rachel back to Shangri-La.
The couple had a lot of things to do. So, they would be taking a short break at the hotel in the afternoon before they would have to fly back to Eastcliff overnight after watching Quinn's concert at the venue at night. 2
After Charlie heard of their plan, he spoke up and said, "Uncle Golding, Aunt Golding, why don't the both of you just rest at Shangri-La for the night instead of being so hard on yourselves to go back tonight. It should not affect anything even if you decide to only return in the morning tomorrow.”
Yule shook his head and smiled as he said, "There will be another meeting in the morning tomorrow. So, it will be too late if we leave tomorrow."
Charlie said, "But I'm afraid that your body will not be able to take it if you are so hard on yourselves."
Yule laughed and said, "It might have been slightly overwhelming and unbearable before this, but it is definitely not the case anymore now."

Although Charlie had never spoken up or denied anything in front of them at that time, he had already decided in his heart long ago that he would never divorce Claire, i
So, Charlie could not help but feel a little ashamed and embarrassed as he was faced with their unfailing care and concern now. 2
Thus, Charlie secretly decided in his heart. Since he would not be able to act according to the Golding family of three’s desires in the matter of marriage, he would have to compensate them even more in other aspects in the future... 9
