The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1384

As soon as he arrived at the office door, he bumped into his childhood friend, Stephanie, who had just stepped out of the office. When she saw Charlie, she said happily, "Brother Charlie, why are you here?" 7 Charlie smiled slightly and said, "I came to see Mrs. Lewis about some matters. Is she here?"

"Yes, she's here." Stephanie smiled before she came up and held Charlie's arm as she said affectionately," Brother Charlie, you did not come by the orphanage for quite some time. I've missed you!" Charlie smiled and said, "Why don't you call me if you miss me?" 6

"I was afraid that you would be busy!" Stephanie replied in her low and sweet voice. "I did not want to cause any disruptions to your business!"

Charlie replied, "Okay. I will treat you to dinner one day. You can go and get busy first. I will go in and look for Mrs. Lewis." i

Stephan! replied, "Alright, Brother Charlie. You can go and look for Mrs. Lewis first. I will go to the kitchen and see if they have already begun preparing the children's dinner. Don't leave in a hurry later! I will come and find you as soon as I am done." "Okay."

After Stephanie left, Charlie knocked on the office door. Mrs. Lewis's kind voice came from inside, "Is that Charlie? Come in!" 9

As soon as Charlie opened the door, he saw Mrs. Lewis sitting at a simple desk as she looked through a pile of documents.

Mrs. Lewis raised her head to look at him. After that, she pushed her glasses up before she smiled and asked, "Why are you here? You didn't even inform us in advance before you came over." s Charlie smiled awkwardly as he said, "Mrs. Lewis, the reason why I came to look for you today is because there is something that I want to ask you." 6

Mrs. Lewis nodded, and she smiled as she said, "Why are you being so polite with me? You can just speak u p.

Charlie walked over to Mrs. Lewis before he sat down on the chair opposite her desk. After that, he looked at Mrs. Lewis before he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mrs. Lewis, I came here to ask you about some details and information when you brought me into the orphanage."

A look of astonishment flashed through Mrs. Lewis's face, but she quickly regained her composure. After that, she smiled and said, "It has already been more than ten years now. I might not necessarily be able to remember all the specific details, but you can just ask me what you want to. I will tell you everything that I

know." 1

Charlie was not a fool. He did not miss out on the subtle changes in Mrs. Lewis's expressions, 7

On the contrary, he immediately identified some problems from the slight changes in her expression.

If Mrs. Lewis did not have anything to hide from him, she would not have that kind of expression on her face at all.

She must be hiding something from him. Otherwise, she would not appear so unnatural on the surface. 5

So, Charlie looked at Mrs. Lewis before he asked seriously, "Actually, I want to know if anyone had come to the orphanage to look for me during the ten years I spent here before I left?"

Mrs. Lewis replied without any hesitation, "No. Never." 7

Charlie frowned and asked, "Was there really no one?"

Mrs. Lewis replied confidently, "Yes, there was really no one at all." 1

"That does not seem right." Charlie looked at Mrs. Lewis, and he could not help but sigh and be filled with emotions as he said, "Mrs. Lewis, you were the one who brought me up since I was a child, and I will always remember your kindness toward me. So, I am not going to lie in front of you, and I am going to just tell you everything that I know."

Mrs. Lewis became a little flustered when she heard Charlie's words. 1

She realized that Charlie must have come here today because he had found something out.

However, Mrs. Lewis did not dare to say anything. Thus, she was extremely nervous. 6

At this time, Charlie continued speaking, "Mrs. Lewis, I heard that after my father's death, his best friend came to Aurous Hill many times to look for me. I also heard that he came by the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute more than once!"
