The expression on Lisa’s face was filled with joy and surprise when virtual-novel.net saw Charlie.
She ran toward Charlie immediately as virtual-novel.net grabbed hold of Charlie’s arms with both of virtual-novel.net hands before virtual-novel.net asked, “Brother Charlie, why didn’t you come back to visit us at the orphanage for such a long time?”
Charlie did not feel uncomfortable at all even though virtual-novel.net was grabbing virtual-novel.net arms with virtual-novel.net hands. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net was like virtual-novel.net elder brother, and virtual-novel.net said affectionately, “I have not been doing well after leaving the orphanage. Therefore, I feel a little embarrassed to come back to the orphanage to visit all of you.”
As soon as Lisa heard his words, virtual-novel.net eyes turned red, and virtual-novel.net choked as virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net so that virtual-novel.net could buy us books, clothes, and food. Why didn’t you come back to see me at all? It has already been so many years but I did not get to see you at all…”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Lisa burst into tears as virtual-novel.net said, “When Mrs. Lewis fell ill, I heard virtual-novel.net saying that you would always come and visit virtual-novel.net at the hospital. However, you would always visit virtual-novel.net after we leave. It seems as though you are deliberately hiding from us. Do you know how uncomfortable and upset all of our brothers and sisters were because you were avoiding us?”
Charlie could not help but sigh when virtual-novel.net heard this.
Charlie had not led a good life after leaving the orphanage. Previously, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net would send the rest of his hard-earned money to Mrs. Lewis.
The reason why virtual-novel.net was so reluctant to go back to the orphanage at that time was because virtual-novel.net was not doing well in the past. He did not want these younger brothers and sisters who had not entered society to see virtual-novel.net in despair. He did not want to set a bad example for them.
After virtual-novel.net married into the Wilson family and became the famous live-in son-in-law in Aurous Hill, virtual-novel.net felt even more embarrassed to go back to the orphanage.
When virtual-novel.net found out that Mrs. Lewis was sick, virtual-novel.net was even more worried and concerned about virtual-novel.net compared to everyone else.
He had always been very embarrassed to face his friends from the orphanage.
Later when virtual-novel.net became rich, virtual-novel.net received ten billion dollars 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 virtual-novel.net did not come back to the orphanage.
After Charlie had some money, virtual-novel.net had always been meaning to donate some money to the orphanage. He wanted to wait for Mrs. Lewis to come back to the orphanage so that virtual-novel.net could come up with a suitable reason and excuse to donate a large sum of money to the orphanage.
Besides seeing Mrs. Lewis, the other reason why virtual-novel.net agreed to come and attend the welcome dinner for Mrs. Lewis with everyone else today was because virtual-novel.net wanted to see how virtual-novel.net could donate money to the orphanage without arousing anyone’s suspicion.
This was also Claire’s first time coming back to the orphanage with Charlie. Therefore, it was also virtual-novel.net first time meeting Lisa.
Claire was surprised by Lisa’s youthful beauty and virtual-novel.net also felt that Lisa and virtual-novel.net husband seemed to be a little too intimate.
However, Claire quickly comforted herself. She knew that this young girl that virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net own brother. It was not unusual for them to be this close and intimate.
When Charlie saw the tears in Lisa’s eyes, virtual-novel.net said, “Lisa, 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 to come back and see all of you now!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, Charlie grabbed Claire’s hand before virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Come, let me introduce the both of you. This is your sister-in-law. What do you think? Isn’t virtual-novel.net beautiful?”
Claire felt a little nervous when Charlie suddenly grabbed virtual-novel.net hand. After all, even though they had already been married for more than three years, both of them had not had too many intimate actions.
Still, virtual-novel.net did not pull back virtual-novel.net hand but simply allowed virtual-novel.net to hold virtual-novel.net hand.
When Lisa saw Claire, the somewhat sad expression on virtual-novel.net face suddenly turned into an envious expression.
As virtual-novel.net looked at Claire, Lisa could not help but feel a little inferior.
