The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5436

Unbeknownst to Charlie, the moment he was sent to Maria by the ring, he unknowingly shattered the girl's chastity. In the Ming Dynasty, a girl's virtue was of utmost importance. If she was seen by a man or engaged in any intimate act, her only choices, besides marrying him, were death or a life dedicated to showing her purity.

Charlie remained oblivious to the fact that Maria had already made up her mind to never marry in this lifetime. The stark contrast in their views on marriage escaped his notice, having been born and raised in a different era.

For Maria, who had experienced both the Ming and Quintong dynasties, it was completely normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. She would have readily accepted becoming Charlie's concubine and addressed Claire respectfully as her elder sister.

As Charlie finally relaxed, an unprecedented wave of exhaustion swept over his body and mind, catching him off guard. Although his cultivation had recovered and his reiki replenished, the weariness was overwhelming, discouraging him from even opening his eyes.

Thus, he tore apart the letter he had prepared for Claire and decided to rest at home for a peaceful afternoon. Later that evening, he would head to the Elys-Champ Hot Spring's half-mountain villa to meet his grandparents and their family formally.
