Chapter 943
A friend named Harvey Carver said in the group chat: [ Yes! Mrs. Lewis has finally recovered from
such a critical illness. If all of the children that she personally raised and brought up did note
back t o see her immediately, she might feel a little disappointed then.]
Max replied: [Let''s do this then. Why don’t we find a five-star hotel to treat Mrs. Lewis to a nice
wee dinner then?] 1
Stephanie replied: [Max, we do not need to be so extravagant. Mrs. Lewis has always lived such a
thrifty life. She will definitely feel a little distressed if we brought her to eat at such an extravagant
ce. Why don''t we just eat at the small restaurant that has been serving home-cooked food for
many years in front of the entrance of the orphanage?] 6
Charlie could not help but sigh at this time. He was filled with emotions as he thought about the
small home-cooked restaurant that had already been operating for more than ten years. 7
During his eighteenth birthday, Mrs. Lewis used all of the money that she had saved by being frugal
all her life before she brought him and a few of his friends to enjoy a nice meal at that restaurant. 7
She had even bought him a birthday cake that day. After celebrating his birthday, he no longer met
the
adoption regtions of the orphanage. Therefore, he had to move out into society on his own.
Now when he thought about it, Charlie felt that the meal that he had at the home-cooked restaurant
that day was the most tender and heartwarming meal that he had ever eaten in his whole life. 2
Therefore, he immediately replied: [I really did not expect that restaurant to still be open now! I think
that the restaurant suggested by Stephanie is great! We can just make an appointment there then!]
Max replied: [Charlie, all of us have already been working for so many years and each of us already
has some savings of our own. Do you really need to be so stingy toward Mrs. Lewis?]
Charlie replied: [I am not being stingy but I am simply showing some respect toward Mrs. Lewis''s
preference. Mrs. Lewis might not necessarily be happy if we brought her out for dinner at a five-star
hotel. On the contrary, she might think that we are acting too extravagantly and feel that it is a little
too wasteful. She might feel very distressed for a long time.] 5
Max replied: [Cut the crap. Do you think that I do not know you well enough? Aren''t you simply
trying to save a few more dors?] 5
After that, Max sent another voice message to the group chat: "Charlie, I know that you are not
doing very well. I know that you are just a live-in son-inw who does not have much money in your
pocket. But n o matter what it is, Mrs. Lewis showed such great kindness by raising you and
bringing you up. Even if you have to suffer a little, can''t you just chip in to treat her to a good meal?”

Charlie could not help but frown.

Max has always been going against him ever since they were in the orphanage. At that time, Max
was slightly strongerpared to his peers and he would often form gangs in the orphanage to
bully the other children.
Charlie had also been targeted by Max. However, since he had practiced some fighting skills when
he was still living in the Wade family mansion in Eastcliff, most people were not his opponent at all.
Therefore, Charlie easily defeated the group of people when Max brought them with him to pick a
fight with him. At the end of the day, the group of boys was all crying and yelling after they had been
defeated. 8
From then on, Max, who was very petty, had always held a grudge against Charlie. He would
always disagree with him and go against him in everything. 4
This guy had always been a troublemaker who had caused a lot of trouble for the orphanage ever
since he was a young boy.
There were several times when he had been caught stealing outside. In the end, Mrs. Lewis always
had toe forward and apologize and pay the other party t o save Max. 7
Although they had not seen each other for so many years, Charlie felt that this guy’s personality
was not any better now.
However, Charlie could not be bothered with him. He replied lightly: [Whatever you say. I still think
that the restaurant that Stephanie has just mentioned is the most appropriate.]
At this time, Stephanie hurriedly said: [I think that what Brother Charlie said really makes sense.
Mrs. Lewis has always been very thrifty her entire life. I think that she will definitely feel
ufortable if we invite her to have dinner at a five-star hotel.] 2
Harvey, their childhood friend also chimed in: [I support this idea too!] 2
The other people also agreed. After that, Stephanie said: [Well, there are ten people who can make
it for dinner tonight, and nine of us support the idea of going to the small home-cooked restaurant.
We will just follow the majority opinion then! I will go and book a room in the restaurant for tonight
now! You all shoulde here as soon as possible!] [Okay, okay, okay!] Everyone agreed happily.
