Jemima nodded, glanced at Charlie, and asked,
“By the way, Mr. Wade, I have always wanted to ask you a question. I don’t know if it is convenient?”
Charlie asked with a smile. “Does Miss Jemima want to ask me if I am single now?”
“No.” Jemima frowned slightly and said, “I just want to ask Mr. Wade,”
“If you know the reason behind the frequent mention of roast goose at the dinner table just now. What does it mean?”
Charlie felt that Jemima seemed to be aware of it, so he shook his head:
“I just said it casually, I don’t know what is the meaning behind it,”
“And I wonder if Miss Jemima can explain it?”
Jemima said lightly: “My father used to have a subordinate named Hogan.
Later, this man eloped with my current stepmother to the United States and opened a roast goose shop in Chinatown.”
“The matter of the two of them eloping has always been a very sensitive subject for my father.”
“So roasted goose is a taboo for him.”
Charlie said lightly: “Miss Jemima, with all due respect,”
“Your stepmother doesn’t look like someone who can endure hardship.”
“Indeed.” Jemima said: “She usually doesn’t even bother to wash her own und3rwear,”
“And has several servants waiting around her every day at any time.”
After speaking, she couldn’t help but sigh:
“However, it is this kind of pampered personality, and one can’t expect her,”
“To be able to follow Hogan to open a roast goose shop for a few years in the United States.”
Charlie said casually, “It seems that she and that Hogan had the true love.”
Jemima shook her head and said, “This, I don’t know.” After speaking, she looked at Charlie again and asked,
“Mr. Wade, do you really not know about these things?”
Charlie shrugged and said, “I know Mrs. Liu eloped with someone before.”
“You should have heard about it all over Hong Kong,”
“And many big entrepreneurs will talk about it as gossip after dinner,”
“But I haven’t heard of what she did abroad after eloping with others.”
Charlie saw that Jemima was not an ordinary woman,
So he didn’t want to let her realize his true motives.
After all, even Gerard has only recently learned about Hogan’s opening of a roast goose shop in the United States,
And this incident has not been reported back to Hong Kong.
If an outsider admits to knowing, it means admitting that he and Hogan have a relationship.
Jemima was a little skeptical. She always felt that Charlie’s mention of roast goose,
At the dinner table seemed to be intentional, but when Charlie said this,
She also felt that there was no loophole in logic.
After all, Charlie’s identity is a high-level assistant of ISU Shipping,
And he came from the mainland, so it is unlikely that he knows about Chinatown in the United States.
So, she put the matter behind her and said to him,
“Mr. Wade, if you don’t have a designated place to go, then we’ll go to Tsim Sha Tsui first,
Where my classmates and I organized a meeting. A charity sale, I will drop the things in the car over there.”
Charlie nodded and said, “No problem with that.”
