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, he’d used this tactic so long that he’d developed not only experience but also mastered it.
So, he specifically instructed Orvel to call him later,
But only after he’d 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, “Honey, when do you want to go back to Aurous Hill?”
“Let me check the tickets.”
Claire was a little surprised.
She’d assumed that Charlie, upon learning of Leon’s 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 couldn’t say that; it would give her away.
So, she casually said, “I’m fine with anything.”
“You want to go back today, right?”
“Then we can check out at noon and go to the airport.”
“You can book the tickets; they’re plenty anyway.”
Charlie glanced at the flight information and said calmly,
“Honey, how about the 3:00 PM one?”
The flight to Melbourne wouldn’t 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 didn’t know what Charlie was exactly up to,
But she knew him well.
He wouldn’t 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, “3:00 PM is perfect.”
“It won’t delay our arrival, and we’ll have dinner.”
“Honey, just book that flight.”
“Okay!”
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 airline’s VIP lounge to board their flight.
It was at this moment that Orvel came into play.
He called Charlie, and as soon as the call was connected, he eagerly asked,
“Master Wade, where are you now?”
Charlie casually replied, “My wife and I came to Eastcliff for a concert and are about to fly back.”
“What do you want to talk to me about?”
Orvel quickly said, “Master Wade, a friend of mine, is having some problems at his house in the southwest.”
“The whole family hasn’t been feeling well over the New Year.”
“And they’d like to see a master take a look at the feng shui.”
“Could you please come and take a look?”
Charlie feigned embarrassment,
“Ah, to be honest, I’ve been pretty busy lately,”
“So I haven’t been planning on going out for feng shui readings for the time being.”
Orvel pleaded, “Master Wade, this time it’s a sworn brother of mine.”
“And we have a very good relationship.”
“Please help me…”
Claire was right there, and seeing Charlie putting on such a show even at this hour,
She wasn’t 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, “Honey, is Mr. Hong looking for your help?”
Charlie nodded.
His receiver was loud, so it was normal for Claire to hear.
She then took the opportunity to persuade him,
“Just agree to Mr. Hong.”
“He’s always been very caring towards our family and respectful to you.”
“It’s better not to offend him on such a small matter.”
Charlie didn’t expect Claire to be so reasonable.
He even pretended to be embarrassed and said,
“Orvel has an urgent errand and needs to leave today.”
“If I agree to it, I won’t be able to go back to Aurous Hill with you.”
“It’s okay,”
