So, she planned to postpone the matter of inviting Charlie to eat at home, and then clarify the words with her parents. Even if Charlie’s true identity cannot be told to them, at least she must let them know that Charlie already has a wife. As her husband, let them stop thinking about it.
Thinking of this, she said very seriously: “Mom, I really have something to do tomorrow, not only tomorrow but also a lot of things the day after tomorrow. It is really busy lately, or let’s not make an appointment this week, next week Look at the time, we will see about it again?”
Leithina heard what she said, and knew there was no way to continue. What she wanted was Charlie to come to the house to have dinner with their family of three, but if her daughter had something to do, she and her husband invited Charlie to eat at home, more or less It’s also strange.
So she had no choice but to say: “Well, then I will not ask Mr. Wade to come to eat at home this week. Next week, depending on your work situation, let’s make an early decision and try to invite Mr. Wade to come home for dinner. “
After she finished speaking, she looked at Charlie again, and said with an apologetic expression: “Mr. Wade, I’m so sorry, so let’s make an appointment next week. What do you think?”
Charlie nodded and said with a smile: “Auntie, I can do it.”
Leithina hurriedly said to Doris again: “Doris, you won’t be allowed to work overtime on weekends next week!”
Doris said embarrassingly: “I don’t have the final say whether to work overtime or not. If there is really something important for me to do this week, I can’t just leave it behind!”
Leithina said with some dissatisfaction: “You are too hard every day, why does your boss arrange so much work for you? Isn’t this squeezing employees?”
When Charlie heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he is the boss who squeezed employees in Leithina’s words.
Charlie said at this time: “Uncle and Aunt, it’s getting late, I won’t bother you much.”
Leithina knew that she was wasting a lot of time for Charlie, and hurriedly said, “Okay Mr. Wade, Auntie will let you go, and let Doris send you to the parking lot.”
Charlie smiled and said, “No need Auntie, I can just go by myself.”
Doris hurriedly said: “Charlie, or… I will send you off!”
Charlie waved his hand: “After Doris, you don’t send me off. Stay here to accompany my uncle and aunt. In addition, if the uncle is going to be discharged tonight, you have to hurry up and finish the discharge procedures. “
Hearing this, Doris did not insist anymore.
She was very grateful and said to Charlie: “Thank you so much for what happened today…”
Charlie waved his hand: “Don’t be so polite, you can stay, I’m leaving.”
