NovelBookIf it weren't because Charlie had overheard the conversation that Isaac had with his aunt over the phone on the way home, Charlie would have really believed that this woman on the other end of the line was really being so enthusiastic from the bottom of her heart.
So, Charlie also pretended to be very surprised as he smiled and said, "Aunt! Is it really you? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?" Carmen actually did not want to call Charlie at all.
In fact, she had originally passed on the order to Isaac, asking him to directly inform Charlie to go to Shangri-La for dinner tomorrow.

That way, it would seem as though she was more sincere. After all, Carmen and Charlie had not seen each other for so many years. A phone call in advance to get in touch with one another was also tantamount to warming up to one another in advance then. Lord Wade felt that it would also be useful for their subsequent plan to persuade Charlie to chome.
So, Carmen smiled as she said, "Charlie, I have not seen you for so many years. I have always been thinking about you. In fact, I have been planning to visit you in Aurous Hill since a long tago.
However, I heard from Stephen that you seem to be a little reluctant to chfor the tbeing, so I did not want to bother you..." After that, she asked with great concern, "Charlie, how have you been doing throughout all these years?" Charlie could not help but felt a little disgusted.
However, he kept up the act and remained polite and courteous as he said, "Everything has been going well for me. Thank you for your concern, Aunt." Carmen heaved a huge sigh of relief before she smiled and said, "I feel very well assured and relieved to know that you have been doing well then!" As she spoke, Carmen said again, "By the way, Charlie, the reason that I'm calling you is mainly because I want to make a trip to Aurous Hill to see you tomorrow. I would like to ask you out for a meal. I wonde if you have the time?" Charlie asked in surprise, "You're coming to Aurous Hill tomorrow?" "That's right!" Carmen said, "To be honest, I was going to ask Isaac to notify you about this matter. However, after putting sthought into this matter, I felt as though it would be better forto call you personally since we've both not seen each other in so many years." Charlie smiled before he said, "Okay then! What twill you be arriving tomorrow? I will buy you a meal!" 4 Carmen smiled before she said, "Why don't we have dinner at Shangri-La tomorrow night? I have already asked Isaac to make all the necessary preparations." s "Okay then." Charlie agreed immediately without any hesitation at all. After that, he said, "I will meet you at Shangri-La tomorrow night then." 4 Carmen smiled as she said, "Okay, sure! I will see you tomorrow then!" 1 After Charlie hung up the phone, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
