Be it Graham or Aurora, one magical elixir from Charlie was what they could ask for. It was their biggest jackpot! With the magical elixir, they could revive their family members who were halfway through heaven’s gate and it would mean a lot for a wealthy and powerful family like theirs.
However, they had never expected Charlie to be so generous as to give them two!
Aurora starred in a daze as if Charlie’s word was a form of lightning that had struck virtual-novel.net point-blank. She looked intensely at Charlie, virtual-novel.net eyes covered with foggy mist, and tears as large as beans rolled down virtual-novel.net puffy pinkish cheeks. She sobbed as virtual-novel.net said, “Master Wade… you… are you serious?”
Charlie laughed. “Why? Do you think I’m just bluffing you?”
“Oh, no! No!” Aurora shook virtual-novel.net head hurriedly, virtual-novel.net tears flying, making the entire scene rather adorable and hilarious.
She wiped virtual-novel.net tears and said in a sobbing but grateful voice, “I just can’t believe it… Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Then, virtual-novel.net bowed respectfully. She believed that if virtual-novel.net father was here, virtual-novel.net would do the same.
Charlie chuckled at virtual-novel.net reaction and said, “Miss Quinton, go back and tell your father that I, Charlie Wade, am the man of my words. After the magical medicine is refined, I’ll give virtual-novel.net two of them, but virtual-novel.net has to promise to assist me by all means whenever I need something from the Quinton family and he’d better not ever try to fool me, do you understand?”
Aurora nodded and squealed excitedly, “Okay, I understand, Master Wade! Thank you!”
Then, virtual-novel.net said timidly, virtual-novel.net face as red as an apple, “Master Wade… you can call me Aurora…”
Charlie nodded. “Okay, Aurora, come on and get up now.”
Aurora blurted out, “Okay, okay!” Then, virtual-novel.net slowly and gingerly raised to virtual-novel.net feet.
“We’re about the same age, you don’t have to be so polite and formal around me.”
“My father had taught me to be polite and respectful towards elders and masters. Master Wade, you have such extraordinary and remarkable powers and the formality is a sign of respect towards you.”
“Haha! In our previous few meetings, you looked so feisty and hot-tempered like a spoiled little rich girl. I’ve never imagined that you’d have such a cultivated and knowledgeable side. I’m amazed.”
Aurora squealed like a deer inside though virtual-novel.net was also a little embarrassed.
No, virtual-novel.net was neither cultivated nor knowledgeable.
Before today, virtual-novel.net was still the unruly and feisty little hot pepper. She didn’t see eye to eye with anyone and verbal disputes were part of virtual-novel.net usual self.
However, when it came to Charlie, virtual-novel.net was utterly humble and reverent in addition to virtual-novel.net father’s ardent expectation of her. Hence, subconsciously, virtual-novel.net wanted to be a well-behaved and adorable kitten in front of him.
Looking at his watch, virtual-novel.net said, “Aurora, thank you for the materials, but I have to go to the market now. Let’s go.”
Aurora realized that virtual-novel.net was taking up Charlie’s time, so virtual-novel.net nodded profusely and said, “I’m sorry for getting in your way, Master Wade…”
Charlie shook his head with a chuckle. “Don’t overthink it. Go home and tell your father that I’ll contact virtual-novel.net once the medicine is ready.”
“Okay, Master Wade!”
Charlie held virtual-novel.net arms and helped virtual-novel.net to virtual-novel.net feet. He kept the materials in the kitchen before heading out.
At the gate of the community, Aurora kept on bowing and thanking virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net got into virtual-novel.net car and reluctantly left the place.
As for Charlie, virtual-novel.net returned to his usual deadbeat loser look, dragging a small cart for grocery shopping—a free gift from a washing powder brand—and walked to the small wet market near his home.
