Claire had some reservations about virtual-novel.net mother’s plan of going to the temple to pray for virtual-novel.net live broadcasting, and virtual-novel.net also wanted to visit virtual-novel.net company.
She replied, “Mom, why don’t you let Charlie go with you instead?”
Elaine looked embarrassed, “I’d prefer for you to come with me. I feel bad about asking my son-in-law to accompany me, especially since my legs and feet are not in the best condition…”
“I don’t want virtual-novel.net or your father to know, so I’d rather go with you. We can leave early, at 7am, and arrive at the temple at 7:30am. After that, you can go to work. It wouldn’t be too late to reach the company by 9am, would it?”
In Elaine’s eyes, Charlie was a strong support for the entire family. As a result, virtual-novel.net was hesitant to take up any activities that might test Charlie’s patience, such as live streaming virtual-novel.net goods.
Despite feeling confident in virtual-novel.net ability to do it, virtual-novel.net didn’t want anyone else to know about it until she’s succeeded. She was especially worried about the embarrassment that would come with failing after others have found out.
The first live stream of the night had some technical difficulties, but Elaine also wanted to go to the Temple to pray for blessings. She was worried that Charlie might think less of virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net accompanied virtual-novel.net on the trip.
Despite virtual-novel.net reservations, Elaine knew that virtual-novel.net recent trip to America had caused Charlie a lot of trouble due to virtual-novel.net constant demands.
Claire understood virtual-novel.net mother’s concerns and wanted to help virtual-novel.net maintain virtual-novel.net reputation.
With a sense of defeat, Claire agreed, “Alright, let’s leave early tomorrow.

At this moment.
Zilian Villa.
The whole mountain had been plunged into darkness at this time. Although there were dim lights in the courtyard on the third floor, the trees were dense after all and there was basically no light to be seen from the outside.
Currently, Maria was on the top floor courtyard of the Villa.
She was using virtual-novel.net smooth, fragrant shoulders to crush rose petals that were floating on the surface of the hot spring pool, creating ripples on the water.
With virtual-novel.net stunning figure, virtual-novel.net then walked up the stone steps in the water and approached the bluestone beside the hot spring pool.
At virtual-novel.net feet, in a bronze incense burner, a plate of seal incense made of old sandalwood was burning and the green smoke slowly rose with a refreshing woody fragrance.
Maria slowly wrapped herself in virtual-novel.net bathrobe, then squatted down slightly with virtual-novel.net legs to the side, picked up the incense burner, held it with both hands and returned to virtual-novel.net room.
After bathing and burning incense, Maria put on a clean, simple robe, and gathered virtual-novel.net long hair behind virtual-novel.net head.
She reached into a carry-on package and removed a satin-wrapped object. Carefully, virtual-novel.net unfolded the silk and satin to reveal a wooden sign that virtual-novel.net brought from Norway, inscribed with the words “The spiritual tablet of my late father Warren Clark”.
Maria placed the spiritual tablet on the altar, then lit three more sticks of incense.
After performing three respectful bows, virtual-novel.net inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the spiritual tablet.
Subsequently, Maria dropped to virtual-novel.net knees, fixed virtual-novel.net gaze upon the spiritual tablet, and spoke in reverence. “Father, I have arrived safely in Aurous Hill and I was fortunate enough to find the person I was looking for…”
“You had always said that you wanted to visit Tiger Mountain in Aurous Hill to pay homage to our ancestors, but you never got the chance. I will be going to Tiger Mountain to honor the Clark family’s forefathers early tomorrow morning. I hope that your spirit in the afterlife will be aware of this…”
