The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1377

Quinn was puzzled.

She felt that her father had been spending so much time looking for Charlie throughout all these years. Moreover, he had even had trouble sleeping and eating because he could not find Charlie at all. He had always felt very guilty deep down in his heart, s

Now that she had finally met Charlie by chance, she naturally wanted to tell her father about the good news. This would also be a form of relief to her father after so many years.

So, she hurriedly asked, "Brother Charlie, why can't I tell anyone else that I saw you?"

Charlie sighed softly before he said, "Well, no matter what happened, it has already been more than ten years. At the very least, I am living very happily and peacefully in Aurous Hill now. Hence, I do not want to provoke anyone in Eastcliff now."

Quinn replied emotionally, "Brother Charlie, you are the young master of the Wade family! Why would you choose to remain at a place like Aurous Hill? If you choose to return to Eastcliff, wouldn't you inherit at least twenty to thirty percent of the Wade family's trillions of dollars of assets, then?"

Charlie waved his hand and said, "I am not short of money now. Furthermore, I am not very interested in

the Wade family's assets or inheritance. I just want to live a stable and peaceful life in Aurous Hill with my wife." 6

"Wife?!" Quinn exclaimed, "Brother Charlie, you...you're married?"

"Yes." Charlie casually replied, "The both of us have already been married for more than three years now..." 6

Quinn was stunned, and she blurted out, "Brother Charlie! Have you forgotten that you have a marriage contract?!" 5

"A marriage contract?" Charlie became a little embarrassed, and he chuckled as he said, "The marriage contract between both of us was just a joke between our parents when we were still young. At that time, both of us were still young and ignorant children. How could the marriage contract possibly be taken into account? Are you really taking the marriage contract seriously?" s

Quinn asked indignantly, "Why can't it be taken into account? Do you know that even after you disappeared for so many years, my dad would always remind me every day that I am already a woman who is engaged to another man? He would always remind me that I should never date or fall in love with other men outside! I have also been telling myself the same thing all this while!" 9

Charlie was dumbfounded.

When he left Eastcliff, he had only been eight years old. Therefore, Quinn would probably have only been between six to seven years old. He had already forgotten about this matter a long time ago. However, Charlie did not expect Quinn and her family to still remember it. 5

This made him feel a little sorry and embarrassed. After all, this was something that was so important to the other party, but he had completely forgotten all about it. This really made him feel a little guilty. Therefore, he could only say apologetically, "Nana, to be honest, I have been living a very miserable life for many years. For the first ten years of my life, I have been living at the orphanage. After that, I spent the next few years working at various construction sites. I have never settled down or had a place that I could call my home until I met my wife."

Quinn was a little angry and distressed as she asked with flushed red eyes, "Didn't you think about the marriage contract between the both of us when you were marrying her?" 9

"I'm sorry." Charlie replied frankly, "To be honest, I did not think about it at all. The main reason was that I was really trapped at that time, and many things happened involuntarily."

Quinn asked again, "Then, what does your current wife do? Which big and powerful family is she from?"

"She is not from any big or powerful family." Charlie smiled before he said, "She is just a girl who comes from an ordinary family." 7

"An ordinary family?!" Quinn was stunned. She had a very angry and frustrated look on her face as she blurted out, "You are the young master of the Wade family and my fiance! My father and I have spent so many years looking for you. So, how could you have gotten married to another woman?"
