Chapter 944
Charlie could not help feeling a little excited at the thought of meeting Mrs. Lewis again soon.
He had never seen Mrs. Lewis again ever since he had gotten scolded for trying to borrow money
from Lady Wilson at her birthday banquet. This was because Stephen had sent Mrs. Lewis directly
to Eastcliff after that. 7
Charlie had a very deep rtionship with Mrs. Lewis, and he regarded her as his own mother.
When Mrs. Lewis fell ill, Charlie tried desperately to raise money. He even secretly tried to sell his
blood to raise some money. He also took a lot of money from ire in private in an effort to keep
Mrs. Lewis alive. 9
If he did not do everything that he could to help Mrs. Lewis raise some money for her treatment,
Mrs. Lewis would never have been able to wait for Stephen to arrive. She would have already been
dead a long time ago. 2
However, Charlie felt that this was something that he should be doing. Even by doing this, he could
probably only repay about one ten thousandths of Mrs. Lewis''s kindness to him.
His father had always taught him countless times before his death that a man should always show
his gratitude as long as he was alive. As the saying goes, a
drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring. Even if he only received a little help from
others, he should return the favor with all that he could when the other party was in need. Charlie
had always been living ording to this principle. 7
Therefore, he did not bother to wait for the noodles that he was cooking for ine in the pot. He
took off his apron before he stepped out of the kitchen. After that, he told ire who was
apanying ine, "M y dear wife, I have to go to the orphanage to deal with something urgent
now!"
ine immediately asked, "Are you done cooking my noodles for me? I have not even eaten a
single spoon o f rice yet and you are already preparing to go out now?” 3
Charlie nced at her with disgust before he replied impatiently, "The noodles are already boiling in
the pot. You can take them out of the pot and eat it when i t is done! Mrs. Lewis has already fully
recovered from her illness. I am going to the orphanage to give her a wee dinner now." 9
When ine heard this, she scolded him immediately, "Charlie, what kind of attitude is that? You
actually dare to talk to me like this because of an olddy at the orphanage? Do you know your own
ce as a live-i n son-inw? Why don''t you think of who is actually providing you for what you eat,
drink, wear, or live?” 9
After that, ine sneered as she said, "What has it got t o do with you even if that olddy is dead
anyway?" 6
Charlie had already been tolerating ine for a very long time. He initially thought that his mother-
inw would change for the better after being locked up and enduring some torture and grievances
for the past two days. However, he never expected to see no change in her attitude at all. 8
What was even more unexpected was the fact that she actually dared to insult Mrs. Lewis, his
benefactor!
Charlie red at ine before he said angrily, "I am eating my own food, drinking my own drink,
and wearing the clothes that I bought for myself! Don''t forget that this vi was also given to me by
someone else! Furthermore, I was the one who bought all of the furniture in this house with the
money that I made from helping others look at their Feng Shui! I have every right to have this kind
of attitude! If you are not satisfied, you can always move out and go back to live in your old house!"

ine became speechless when she heard Charlie''s words. 8
She wanted to scold Charlie, but when she thought about it, she realized that what he said was not
wrong at all. 1
Things were not the same as it was before. He used to be living in their small house, and he was
not making any money at that time. Therefore, she could scold him as much as she wanted to.

However, he was a promising person now. Someone had even given him such an expensive vi
and renovated it for him. He could earn millions of dors
simply by giving other people some Feng Shui advice. 2
On the other hand, she was penniless. If Charlie really turned his back on her and refused to let her
live in his vi, what would she do then?
As she thought about this, ine suddenly felt a little guilty. She could not help but feel a little
nervous and afraid when she saw the angry expression on Charlie''s face.
She tried to salvage the situation immediately. She looked at ire with an aggrieved expression on
her face before she choked and said, "ire, don''t you think that your husband is too much? Is
there any other son-inw in this world who would talk to their mother-inw in this manner? If you
do not keep him under control, then wouldn''t he be too full of himself then?" 6
Unexpectedly, ire replied seriously, "Mom, I think that Charlie is right. We are currently living in
the vi that someone else has given to him. If it was not because of him, we would never have the
opportunity t 0 live in such a good ce. Therefore, I don''t think that it is fair for you to continue
treating him like how you did in the past!"
