The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 4490

When the crowd dispersed, they left a cake and a table full of dishes and snacks behind.

Marianne's eyes were still red, and she was lost in her thoughts as she looked at the table that was full and piled high with dishes.

Charlie looked at her and asked softly," You're missing your mother?"

Marianne came back to her senses and nodded gently. A bean-sized tear rolled down her cheek, and she quickly wiped the tear away as she said, "I always miss her so much whenever it's my birthday..."

Having said that, she quickly smiled, looked at Charlie, stretched out her hand, and said in a playful tone, "Give me a birthday present! Anything will do.

Charlie said embarrassedly, "Look at this surprise. I didn't even know that it was your birthday today, so I didn't prepare anything in advance..."

Marianne smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anything will do. It's fine even if you just give me a coin."

Charlie thought for a while and asked her," Do you want one of the divine pills that can cure all diseases?"

Marianne could not help but laugh as she asked, "Are you serious? You really have a divine pill?"

Charlie nodded and said seriously, "I'm not going to lie to you, but I usually moonlight as a charlatan. I usually carry a few divine pills with me, and when I meet someone whom I could establish a good connection with, I will usually sell him one." With that being said, Charlie took out a wax-sealed Healing Pill from his pocket, put it in Marianne's palm, and said very seriously, "This is my birthday present to you. Happy birthday!"

Subsequently, Charlie paused and

instructed, "You must keep it well, and you must never let others know about this, let alone give it away to anyone else. It'd be better for you to keep this pill on you at all times. Take it out and eat it if you're seriously ill or injured in the future. It may save your life at a critical

moment!"

When Marianne saw that Charlie was speaking so seriously, she thought that he was deliberately

teasing her. So, she was also vervet

cooperative and said, "Okay, I've got it. When I have my period pain next time, I will eat it when the pain is so I

unbearable that I feel like dying!

Charlie hurriedly said, "Don't! Don't do that! If the effect of this divine pill is like a big bowl of rice, your period pain would be akin to a hungry ant You should not feed a big bowl of rice to this ant, but you only need to pick a grain out of the bowl of rice to feed to the ant, and it would be enough for the ant to live a long time."

Charlie then continued, "If you feel that your period pain is truly unbearable next time, just scrape a little powder from the pill and dissolve it in water. The effect will be immediate."

Marianne looked at Charlie with a look of surprise and asked, "Are you sure that you're not going to wink at me or raise your brow or something? You're speaking so seriously, I'm almost about to take your words seriously." Charlie smiled and said, "It's okay. Just take my words seriously."

Marianne did not believe it, but she readily accepted the Healing Pill that Charlie had handed over to her as she smiled and said," Thank you! This is the first birthday gift that I've ever asked for from someone of the opposite sex on my own accord. Although it's somewhat strange that I'm receiving a divine pill, I'm still very grateful. I will treasure it!"

"Okay." Charlie nodded and instructed, "You have to remember what I said and go over it a few times in your head to make sure that you can recall it in the event of an emergency."

Marianne nodded repeatedly and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will!"

***While the two were eating on the food street, the Brown family was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Dillion's father, Rudy, had planned to take Dillion to the home of Solomon Star, the leader of the Order of the Star, for a banquet tonight.
