Chapter 2381


    Charlie had not expected Faith to invite him to her house for a meal.


    He was thinking about finding an excuse to decline, but Faith did not wait for him to reply and quickly said, "It just so happens that tomorrow is


    Saturday, and Doris won''t be working. You can help out at home and help me make a few more dishes."


    Corwin, who was on the hospital bed, also chimed in agreement, "Yeah, Charlie,e to our house for a meal! Just treat it as a way of getting to


    know us."


    It''s just that Corwin did not know that Charlie had previously been to his house. 1


    Seeing that Faith and Corwin had both said so, Charlie was somewhat caught in a pinch


    He did not want to agree to the meal invitation, but he felt that it was rather difficult to reject someone else''s goodwill.


    Just as he was having trouble deciding what was the best course of action, Doris quickly said, "Mother, I am not free tomorrow. I need to work


    overtime at thepany. Can we change it to some other day?"


    "Ah? You need to work overtime tomorrow?” Faith said with a dissatisfied tone, "It''s a weekend, why do


    you need to work overtime on a weekend?!"


    Doris actually didn''t really want to work overtime, but seeing her parents having a good impression of Charlie made her guess that her parents might


    want t o take the opportunity to invite Charlie over for a meal to learn mere about him. 4


    Hence, she was able to guess that her parents did not know that Charlie was a married man. Ctherwise, they would certainly not be so bold. 3


    So, she nned to postpone the matter of inviting Charlie over to eat at her home and then rify to her parents regarding Charlie''s background


    Although his true identity couldn''t be exposed, at least letting them know that he was married should at least stop them from having inappropriate


    thoughts. 5


    Thinking about this, she then said with all seriousness, "Mother, I truly have something going on tomorrow. Not only tomorrow, but there are still many


    things I have to take care of for days toe. It has been really busytely, so let''s not make an appointment this week. Maybe we can see if there''s


    time next week before we decide?"


    When Faith heard her say this, she knew that there was no point in being persistent. She wanted to invite Charlie over to have a meal with all three of


    them. If her daughter was not around, she herself and her husband having a meal with Charlie would indeed seem very awkward.


    Thus, she had no choice but to say, "In that case, I will not ask Charlie toe and have a meal this week. Depending on your work schedule, let''s


    make an early appointment and try to invite Charlie over for a meal next weekend.”


    After saying that, she looked at Charlie again and said with an apologetic tone, "Charlie, I am really sorry.


    Let''s make an appointment next week, what do you think?"


    Charlie nodded, smiled, and replied, "Sure, Aunty, I am okay with it."


    Faith quickly turned to Doris and said, "Doris, you are not allowed to work overtime next weekend!"


    Doris replied sheepishly, "It''s not up


    to me whether I need to work


    overtime or not. If there are really


    important things that I need to


    atterid to, I can''t just leave add do


    nothing!” Content belongs 1￠)

    Faith said with dissatisfaction, ~~.


    "You''re real y suffering every day.”


    Why did your boss have to arrange


    SO much workload for you? I Isn''t this


    considered employee abuse?"

    Charlie, who was on the side, heard this and felt somewhat embarrassed


    After all, he was the boss who was abusing his employee as stated by Faith. 5


    At this time, Charlie voiced up, "Uncle, Aunty, it''s gettingte. I won''t bother you anymore.”


    Faith knew she had wasted a lot of Charlie''s time and quickly replied, "Alright, Charlie. I will send you on your way and let Doris send you to the


    parking lot.”


    Charlie smiled. "There''s no need for that, Aunty. I can leave on my own."


    Doris immediately said, "Charlie, why don''t you let me send you off!"


    Charlie waved his hand. "It''s okay,


    Doris. Stay here and spend some:


    time with Uncle and Aunty. Plus; if


    uncle-wants to be discharged from


    ls Hospital tonight, you willhave to


    handle the busy procedures”


    After hearing those words, Doris did not insist anymore.


    She said to Charlie gratefully, "Thank you so much for all that has happened today..."


    Charlie waved his hand. "There''s no need to be so polite. I''l leave now, there''s no need to send me off.” 9
