Chapter 947


    The expression on Stephanie''s face was filled with joy and surprise when she saw Charlie.


    She ran toward Charlie immediately as she grabbed hold of Charlie''s arms with both of her hands


    before she asked, "Brother Charlie, why didn’t youe back to visit us at the orphanage for such


    a long time?” 2


    Charlie did not feel ufortable at all even though she was grabbing her arms with her hands. On


    the contrary, he was like her elder brother, and he said affectionately, "I have not been doing well


    after leaving the orphanage. Therefore, I feel a little embarrassed toe back to the orphanage to


    visit all of you." 8


    As soon as Stephanie heard his words, her eyes turned red, and she choked as she sobbed and


    said, " Mrs. Lewis told us that you have been working on a construction site after you left the


    orphanage. She also told us that you would always send all of your hard-earned money to her so


    that she could buy us books, clothes, and food. Why didn''t youe back to see me at all? It has


    already been so many years but I did not get to see you at all..." 1


    As she spoke, Stephanie burst into tears as she said," When Mrs. Lewis fell ill, I heard her saying


    that you would alwayse and visit her at the hospital. However, you would always visit her after


    we leave. It


    seems as though you are deliberately hiding from us. D o you know how ufortable and upset


    all of our brothers and sisters were because you were avoiding u s?" 2


    Charlie could not help but sigh when he heard this.


    Charlie had not led a good life after leaving the orphanage. Previously, he had been busy working at


    the construction site three hundred and sixty-five days a year. He did not take a single day off and


    worked all year round. He would only keep enough money to fill his stomach and then, he would


    send the rest of his hard-earned money to Mrs. Lewis. 2


    The reason why he was so reluctant to go back to the orphanage at that time was because he was


    not doing well in the past. He did not want these younger brothers and sisters who had not entered


    society to see him in despair. He did not want to set a bad example for them. 1


    After he married into the Wilson family and became the famous live-in son-inw in Aurous Hill, he


    felt even more embarrassed to go back to the orphanage.


    When he found out that Mrs. Lewis was sick, he was even more worried and concerned about her


    compared to everyone else. 2

    He had always been very embarrassed to face his friends from the orphanage.


    Later when he became rich, he received ten billion dors from the Wade family and had also


    inherited the Emgrand Group. However, Mrs. Lewis was not in the orphanage at that time. That was


    the reason why h e did note back to the orphanage, s


    After Charlie had some money, he had always been meaning to donate some money to the


    orphanage. He wanted to wait for Mrs. Lewis toe back to the orphanage so that he coulde


    up with a suitable reason and excuse to donate arge sum of money to the orphanage, s


    Besides seeing Mrs. Lewis, the other reason why he agreed toe and attend the wee


    dinner for Mrs. Lewis with everyone else today was because he wanted to see how he could donate


    money to the orphanage without arousing anyone''s suspicion.


    This was also ire’s first timeing back to the orphanage with Charlie. Therefore, it was also


    her first time meeting Stephanie.


    ire was surprised by Stephanie’s youthful beauty and she also felt that Stephanie and her


    husband seemed to be a little too intimate, s


    However, ire quicklyforted herself. She knew that this young girl that she was looking at


    was a little sister who grew up with Charlie in the past. Therefore, it was only natural for this girl to


    regard Charlie as her own brother. It was not unusual for them to be this close and intimate. 6


    When Charlie saw the tears in Stephanie’s eyes, he said, "Stephanie, I have not been doing well in


    the past so I did not want you to see me at my worst and miserable state. However, things are


    different now. Your brother is doing pretty well now, and I finally have the face toe back and see


    all of you now!" 4


    As he spoke, Charlie grabbed ire''s hand before he smiled and said, "Come, let me introduce the


    both of you. This is your sister-inw. What do you think? Isn''t she beautiful?"


    ire felt a little nervous when Charlie suddenly grabbed her hand. After all, even though they had


    already been married for more than three years, both o f them had not had too many intimate


    actions, i


    Still, she did not pull back her hand but simply allowed him to hold her hand. 4


    When Stephanie saw ire, the somewhat sad expression on her face suddenly turned into an


    envious expression. 7


    As she looked at ire, Stephanie could not help but feel a little inferior.
