Chapter 588


    I nodded and as I wiped the corner of my lips.

    I looked at the time and realized that it was already one thirty in the afternoon. I looked towards him


    and said, "Thank you for the meal. It''s gettingte, I must get back to work."


    I then got up and walked out of the restaurant.


    I was not being indifferent, nor was I deliberately pushing him away. I had always believed in letting


    bygones be bygones.


    He followed me out, saying, "I''ll send you back."


    I nodded; I didn''t refuse because it was not easy hailing a taxi in HovelL


    He remained quiet even after getting into the car.


    Seeing that I would not be the first to speak, he said, "I''ll deal with Cecil, so you won''t have to worry


    about that. Just focus on your work."


    I frowned and said, "No need!" Since I had called Uncle Charles, I did not want him dealing with these


    trivial things.


    Besides, Charles had been investigating corruption cases in different regions for the past few years. I


    was just making use of the opportunity.


    He narrowed his eyes but did not say anything.


    I thanked him again when we arrived at the hotel.


    He nodded and remained gentle and refined.


    Charles got here very quickly. It was five in the afternoon when he arrived at the hotel. Perhaps he


    came so suddenly, so the county executive and several city leaders nearby also arrived one after


    another an hour after his arrival.


    Some of the upper ss residents also made an appearance. Evidently, Charles did not intend to hide


    his arrival.


    He simply said a few reserved words and instructed people around him to conduct an investigation on


    the country executive. The others were sent away by him.


    He sighed slightly while looking at me, "You''ve lost weight again."


    I chuckled. It was already prettyte in the day, so I asked, "Are you hungry? Why don''t youe over


    to our house for dinner and meet Anne?"


    Heughed, looking dotingly at me. "I had thought for sure you were going to ignore me and leave me


    all alone at the hotel. How rare it is for you to invite me over, so of course, I must go."


    I chuckled. "You can’tin when you''re at my house!"


    He frowned. "What are you talking about? You''re also part of the Reid family. When did you be so


    distant?"


    I gave him a small smile and brought him home with me.


    As I had asked Norman to help pick Anne up earlier, they were already at home when Charles and I


    returned.


    Anne looked at Charles as if she knew something. She looked at Charles and said, "Mr. Reid, I''ve seen


    you on my mother''s phone before."


    Both Charles and I were stunned for a moment. He asked incredulously, "Oh, so you know me?"


    Anne nodded. "Yes, you specially came to catch the bad guys."


    Anne had a great memory, so it was no surprise that she would remember Charles'' face from the news.


    I said while holding Anne, "Anne, don''t be rude. He''s your grandpa."


    Anne looked up at Charles and asked slickly, "Grandpa, can you help me catch the bad guys?"


    Charles bent down slightly and looked at her affectionately. "Anne, who do you want me to help you


    catch?"


    After thinking for a while, Anne replied, "The bad guy is in Mr. Zelson''s hotel. She always scolds


    Mommy and calls me a wild child."


    I had thought that Anne would forget about these things, but surprisingly, she did not.
