The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 4486

When Charlie saw Marianne's despondent expression, he suddenly felt some sympathy for this eldest young lady of the top wealthy family in Hong Kong. Although Shawn was rich, Marianne still did not have a complete childhood.

Her father's betrayal and mother's early death had destroyed her childhood completely.

Charlie and Marianne's experiences were also somewhat similar in this regard.

Although Charlie's parents had had a good relationship, Charlie's childhood had fallen apart completely after his parents had passed away.

Since then, Charlie had lived in the orphanage for ten years. Although Mrs. Lewis had taken care of him, it had still been a painful decade for Charlie.

This was because he had had to re-accept the reality of his parents' death every day for the first five years, and he had had to fight the sadness of missing his parents every day for the next five years.

What truly healed Charlie for the next twenty years and kept him calm without going astray were the earnest teachings and good memories that his parents had given him before he was eight years old.

Thinking of it, Marianne's fond memories should be her memories of when her mother had brought her here to eat every day to try every means to coax her to eat when she was a child. After that, the person who loved her the most was no longer here and so, Marianne could only come here to relive those memories of her mother.

At this time, a street vendor wearing an apron by the side of the road was flipping beef patties. When he saw Marianne approaching, he quickly greeted her with a smile and said, "Miss Marianne, you're here!"

Marianne came back to her senses and smiled as she said, "Mr. Norman! Why didn't I see you opening your stall two days ago?"

The vendor was very happy as he said, "My daughter-in-law gave birth the day before yesterday. She gave birth to a boy who weighs exactly 4.6 kilograms!"

"Wow!" Marianne said with surprise," That's wonderful! I will have to give the little one a big red envelope when I come next time!"

The vendor hurriedly said, "No need, Miss Marianne! We receive your favor every year, so how could we make you spend more money?!"

Marianne smiled and said, "Mr. Norman, why don't we do this, then? I'll tell Mr.

Wheeler to waive your rental for the second half of the year. This can be considered a big red envelope from me to the little one!"

The vendor said with great respect, "How could let you do that, Miss Marianne?! You have not raised the rent for ten years, and you've always taken good care of us. We would not

have been able to still support our

MS

families here if it weren't for you..."

Marianne laughed and said, "Mr. Norman, you don't have to be so formal with me. I'll let Mr. Wheeler know about this later."

After that, she pointed at Charlie and said to the street vendor, "Mr. Norman, I'll take my friend to eat something inside, so I will not continue bothering you."

The vendor nodded gratefully and then looked at Charlie as he smiled and asked," Miss Marianne, you're finally dating someone?"

"No..." Marianne quickly shook her head." He's just a friend."

The vendor looked at Charlie with a deep and meaningful expression as he said seriously, "I've been here for more than twenty years, and you're the first boy Miss Marianne has ever brought here."

Marianne panicked a little and said, "Mr. Norman, he's really just a friend, so you should not be speculating here!"

Having said that, she hurriedly said to

Charlie, "Let's go, Mr. Wade."

Charlie nodded at the vendor and then walked with Marianne toward the depths of the food street.

After distancing themselves from

Mr. Norman's stall, Charlie asked her

curiously, "Miss Marianne, based on

Mr. Norman's words just now, you seem to be the landlord here?"
