Charlie harbored a negative impression of Cynthia.
In his childhood, he could only recall how, before his parents left Eastcliff, his aunt acted as if she were armed for battle, opposing his parents at every turn. When they crossed paths again, she had already engaged in a fierce conflict with her mother-in-law.
By that time, the tension between the two was palpable, and Charlie had even considered that if Cynthia remained obstinate, he would confine her to house arrest in the urban village for two years. Thus, when the old man defended Cynthia, it did not affect him in the slightest.
Sensing Charlie's cold demeanor, the old man realized that he must be displeased with Cynthia. So, before Cynthia returned, he said earnestly, "Charlie, you may have only witnessed a fraction of the story. Your aunt had a close relationship with your father in her younger days, and your mother was quite kind to her as well. However, later on, the entire Wade family turned against your parents, and I failed to advocate for your parents. Back then, to protect herself, your aunt chose not to oppose your parents."
As he spoke, the old man sighed, "At that time, the Wade family was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger. Much like on Wade Mountain, when disaster struck, everyone just wanted to escape with their lives. No one was concerned about their parents or siblings. This has perhaps always been the tradition of the Wade family. with the exception of your father."
