Claire knew very well that the gap between herself and Charlie was too big. Once Charlie returned to the Wade family, if she still maintained a marriage relationship with him, she would become a woman envied by the whole world. The reason why they envied her must be because they felt that she was too lucky. Such an ordinary girl could actually marry one of the second richest generations in the world.
Claire is also a strong-willed woman, and she doesn’t want to be called a rich wife or Cinderella in the real world in the future.
Instead of being a follower of a wealthy family, he prefers to live a simple and easy life.
Moreover, Sarah Gu was obviously more suitable for Charlie than herself, and she had paid too much to find Charlie over the years.
Morally and logically, she is a girl who deserves respect and satisfaction.
Ending her marriage with Charlie and helping them be together was a good thing.
So, he replied to Charlie: “Then wait until February 2nd, the two of us will go to Eastcliff to spend some time together, and watch Miss Gu’s concert. After the concert, I may have to go on a business trip. Then you can go home directly, and I will take a plane from Eastcliff to Rongcheng.”
Charlie asked curiously: “Why do you suddenly want to go on a business trip to Rongcheng?”
Claire thought for a moment and replied with the words that had just occurred to her: “A client introduced me to her best friend. Her best friend has a large single-family villa in Rongcheng that she wants to renovate. She hopes that I can make a design plan. I want to go there and check it out in person.”
After saying that, he felt uneasy and embarrassed.
She was worried because she didn’t know if Charlie would find out about her lie. She felt embarrassed because this might be the first time she lied to Charlie.
However, he soon realized that Charlie had always said that he would go to various places to see Feng Shui for people in the past few years. Perhaps it was the same mentality and motivation as when he lied this time about going to other places to design for others.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart that her marriage with Charlie was truly flawed, to the point that she had to use countless lies to maintain stability in her life.
Come to think of it, every time Charlie wanted to do his own thing and it was inconvenient for her to know, she had to think of all sorts of excuses to lie, and even had to ask everyone to come to her house to help her act. She must be very tired.
Charlie really trusted Claire. When Claire said she was going on a business trip, he didn’t doubt it at all. He just asked, “Wife, do you want me to come with you? Besides, I don’t have a job at that time.”
Claire said, “Don’t bother. I’m going there to work, not to travel. If I bring my husband to discuss the project, the client might think I’m unprofessional. Besides, I won’t be there for long. I’ll do a field survey, pat the soil, and measure the dimensions, then I’ll be back. When the time comes, I’ll make a design plan when I get back to Aurous Hill, and I can send it to him online after I’m done.”
Charlie didn’t think much about it and said with a smile: “Okay, after the concert, you go to Rongcheng and I go back to Aurous Hill.”
Claire breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the itinerary was set, she planned to take some time to visit Qixia Temple and inform Stephen Tang of the specific arrangements.
When the time comes, once Charlie and I leave for Eastcliff, I will find an excuse and ask Stephen Tang to take my parents away.
After she separated from Charlie in Eastcliff, she would ask Stephen Tang to secretly take her away from China.
As a family of three, they didn’t have many worries. Relatives like their grandmother had long since passed away and they no longer had any contact with each other. As long as the three of them were together, it didn’t matter where they went.
In recent years, the entire family has relied on Charlie’s care, and now it’s time for them to think about it.
