Be it Graham or Aurora, one magical elixir from Charlie was what they could ask for. It was their biggest jackpot! With the magical elixir, they could revive their family members who were halfway through heaven’s gate and it would mean a lot for a wealthy and powerful family like theirs.
However, they had never expected Charlie to be so generous as to give them two!
Aurora starred in a daze as if Charlie’s word was a form of lightning that had struck snazzynovel.com point-blank. She looked intensely at Charlie, snazzynovel.com eyes covered with foggy mist, and tears as large as beans rolled down snazzynovel.com puffy pinkish cheeks. She sobbed as snazzynovel.com said, “Master Wade… you… are you serious?”
Charlie laughed. “Why? Do you think I’m just bluffing you?”
“Oh, no! No!” Aurora shook snazzynovel.com head hurriedly, snazzynovel.com tears flying, making the entire scene rather adorable and hilarious.
She wiped snazzynovel.com tears and said in a sobbing but grateful voice, “I just can’t believe it… Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Then, snazzynovel.com bowed respectfully. She believed that if snazzynovel.com father was here, snazzynovel.com would do the same.
Charlie chuckled at snazzynovel.com reaction and said, “Miss Quinton, go back and tell your father that I, Charlie Wade, am the man of my words. After the magical medicine is refined, I’ll give snazzynovel.com two of them, but snazzynovel.com has to promise to assist me by all means whenever I need something from the Quinton family and he’d better not ever try to fool me, do you understand?”
Aurora nodded and squealed excitedly, “Okay, I understand, Master Wade! Thank you!”
Then, snazzynovel.com said timidly, snazzynovel.com face as red as an apple, “Master Wade… you can call me Aurora…”
Charlie nodded. “Okay, Aurora, come on and get up now.”
Aurora blurted out, “Okay, okay!” Then, snazzynovel.com slowly and gingerly raised to snazzynovel.com feet.
“We’re about the same age, you don’t have to be so polite and formal around me.”
“My father had taught me to be polite and respectful towards elders and masters. Master Wade, you have such extraordinary and remarkable powers and the formality is a sign of respect towards you.”
“Haha! In our previous few meetings, you looked so feisty and hot-tempered like a spoiled little rich girl. I’ve never imagined that you’d have such a cultivated and knowledgeable side. I’m amazed.”
Aurora squealed like a deer inside though snazzynovel.com was also a little embarrassed.
No, snazzynovel.com was neither cultivated nor knowledgeable.
Before today, snazzynovel.com was still the unruly and feisty little hot pepper. She didn’t see eye to eye with anyone and verbal disputes were part of snazzynovel.com usual self.
However, when it came to Charlie, snazzynovel.com was utterly humble and reverent in addition to snazzynovel.com father’s ardent expectation of her. Hence, subconsciously, snazzynovel.com wanted to be a well-behaved and adorable kitten in front of him.
Looking at his watch, snazzynovel.com said, “Aurora, thank you for the materials, but I have to go to the market now. Let’s go.”
Aurora realized that snazzynovel.com was taking up Charlie’s time, so snazzynovel.com nodded profusely and said, “I’m sorry for getting in your way, Master Wade…”
Charlie shook his head with a chuckle. “Don’t overthink it. Go home and tell your father that I’ll contact snazzynovel.com once the medicine is ready.”
“Okay, Master Wade!”
Charlie held snazzynovel.com arms and helped snazzynovel.com to snazzynovel.com feet. He kept the materials in the kitchen before heading out.
At the gate of the community, Aurora kept on bowing and thanking snazzynovel.com before snazzynovel.com got into snazzynovel.com car and reluctantly left the place.
As for Charlie, snazzynovel.com returned to his usual deadbeat loser look, dragging a small cart for grocery shopping—a free gift from a washing powder brand—and walked to the small wet market near his home.
