Chapter 6989
After deciding to leave for Australia, Charlie began to think about how to fabricate a lie to Claire.
The thought of a feng shui consultation came to mind.
After all, heβd used this tactic so long that heβd developed not only experience but also mastered it.
So, he specifically instructed Orvel to call him later,
But only after heβd booked flights for Claire and him back to Aurous Hill.
This way, he could change his schedule at the last minute,
But still have Claire at the airport first, and make her feel at ease.
Then, he calmly logged out of WeChat, opened the ticketing app,
And asked Claire, βHoney, when do you want to go back to Aurous Hill?β
βLet me check the tickets.β
Claire was a little surprised.
Sheβd assumed that Charlie, upon learning of Leonβs mishap, would immediately tell her he was going to be away for a while.
But he actually suggested booking tickets.
She wanted to ask him if they were going alone or together,
But on second thought, she couldnβt say that; it would give her away.
So, she casually said, βIβm fine with anything.β
βYou want to go back today, right?β
βThen we can check out at noon and go to the airport.β
βYou can book the tickets; theyβre plenty anyway.β
Charlie glanced at the flight information and said calmly,
βHoney, how about the 3:00 PM one?β
The flight to Melbourne wouldnβt leave until 5:30 PM.
He could take his wife to the airport first,
And once he was sure she could make it back to Aurous Hill,
He could go through airport security and customs and board the flight to Melbourne.
Claire didnβt know what Charlie was exactly up to,
But she knew him well.
He wouldnβt stand idly by while Leon was in trouble,
So he must be looking for an opportunity,
A suitable one to get to Melbourne.
So, she said to him, β3:00 PM is perfect.β
βIt wonβt delay our arrival, and weβll have dinner.β
βHoney, just book that flight.β
βOkay!β
Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and booked the tickets.
At noon, the couple had lunch at the hotel before taking a taxi to the airport.
They printed their boarding passes, went through security,
They arrived at the airlineβs VIP lounge to board their flight.
He called Charlie, and as soon as the call was connected, he eagerly asked,
βMaster Wade, where are you now?β
Charlie casually replied, βMy wife and I came to Eastcliff for a concert and are about to fly back.β
βWhat do you want to talk to me about?β
Orvel quickly said, βMaster Wade, a friend of mine, is having some problems at his house in the southwest.β
βThe whole family hasnβt been feeling well over the New Year.β
βAnd theyβd like to see a master take a look at the feng shui.β
βCould you please come and take a look?β
Charlie feigned embarrassment,
βAh, to be honest, Iβve been pretty busy lately,β
βSo I havenβt been planning on going out for feng shui readings for the time being.β
Orvel pleaded, βMaster Wade, this time itβs a sworn brother of mine.β
βAnd we have a very good relationship.β
βPlease help meβ¦β
Claire was right there, and seeing Charlie putting on such a show even at this hour,
She wasnβt angry, but rather felt a little sorry for him.
It must have been exhausting for him to have kept so many things secret from her for so many years,
While also trying to manage his emotions and avoid suspicion.
So, she whispered, βHoney, is Mr. Hong looking for your help?β
Charlie nodded.
His receiver was loud, so it was normal for Claire to hear.
She then took the opportunity to persuade him,
βJust agree to Mr. Hong.β
βHeβs always been very caring towards our family and respectful to you.β
βItβs better not to offend him on such a small matter.β
Charlie didnβt expect Claire to be so reasonable.
He even pretended to be embarrassed and said,
βOrvel has an urgent errand and needs to leave today.β
βIf I agree to it, I wonβt be able to go back to Aurous Hill with you.β
βItβs okay,β
