Maisyâs eyes lit up. It was feasible to hide that person in White City since Charles was not a citizen of B City. Then the problem would be solved, wouldnât it?
É¢ðªðµð·ð¸ð¿ð®ðµð¼.cð¸m hosts the latest Declan wanted to hide that person in Maisyâs house because he thought her house was safe. But hiding him in White City was safer than his house. Maisy thought Charles had done her a big favor, âCharlesâ¦â
As Maisy prepared to say something to Charles, Alan interrupted his wife in a gravelly voice, âAre you mad?â
He wasnât mad that Maisy told Charles about the Declan affair; instead, he was mad that she had failed to consider the consequences. He looked at his wife earnestly, âYou are clear about your brotherâs characteristics. Havenât you seen the news? Apparently, that person is not a good man. But you try to leave it in Charlesâ hands. Do you want Charles to get involved in those dirty things?â.
Maisy didnât think too much at this point, as she just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible. But hearing her husbandâs reminder, she thought carefully.
It was true that she could not leave this person in Charlesâ hands because what he had done in the temple had caused great attention.
Even Declan couldnât hide it. This was definitely not such a simple matter.
She only had one daughter, so she could in no way bring trouble to her daughter and son-in-law.
Since Charles had only recently arrived in B-town, he didnât know what had happened and asked, âIâm not a stranger. Tell me if you have a problem so I can advise you.â
Alan let out a long sigh and said to Charles with sincerity and seriousness, âYou arrived in B City a short time ago, so you may not know the situation in the city. This is not White City. There are a lot of big geniuses here and itâs very complicated. I donât want to tell you about it because I donât want you to get into such unnecessary trouble.â
Charles knew Alanâs words were for their good, but he sincerely wanted to help them.
âNow that I have become your son-in-law, I will consider myself a member of the Meyer Family. Now, Dad and Mom have run into a problem that bothers them, as Tianaâs husband, how can I stay out of it? Even if I canât help, Dad, Mom, please tell me whatâs going on. Donât take me as an outsider or a weak person.â
Alan let out a long sigh, âWhy are you so stubborn?â.
Since Charles had said these words, it seemed inappropriate for him to continue to keep the secret. So Alan asked him to read the news.
Charles took out his phone and looked up the news according to Alanâs words. Then he quickly found numerous news items about the temple. A naked man had appeared in the temple, a place where Buddha was enshrined and required quiet. And that man had many wounds. There must be some inside stories.
âYour fucking brother Declan just wants to put such a filthy thing in our house. How could he come up with such a wicked idea?â said Alan in a cold voice.
Charles was still reading the news with his head down, but accidentally saw a news story about Matthew and Dolores going shopping together at the mall.
He hesitated a bit and walked past it. Then he continued reading the news about the temple.
âShe creates trouble every day. This time she even offended Matthew. Otherwise, it wouldnât have occurred to him to hide that person in our house because he canât hide her outside.â Alan didnât want to get involved in Declanâs affairs.
But that Declan business had caused a great deal of attention within the City. Even though he didnât want to know about his information, he had heard about it.
Charles looked at Alan and asked, âWhat is your relationship with Matthew?â
âIâm not clear on the details either. Iâve only heard some rumors about this affair. It seems that Declan caught someone from Matthew and locked him in the temple. Then the scene you saw in the reports just now occurred. Humph, he doesnât want to give up his friend, nor can he hide him outside. Therefore, he wants to hide him in our house, he is so evil! Even if his father had a son at an advanced age, he canât spoil him lightly. Coddling his son is like killing him. Declan is so unruly that sooner or later he will be in big trouble.â
Charles became self-absorbed after hearing Alanâs words. Declan caught someone from Matthew. Who had he caught, was it Dolores?
A naked man in the templeâ¦apparently he must have been doing something wrong. At the thought that the person he had caught was probably Dolores, his eyes turned somber.
âDad, after all, Declan is Momâs brother. If we refuse his request, weâll definitely offend him.â
Alan didnât take it seriously, âWith that kind of person, we have to offend him sooner or later. Itâs good that we offend him earlier so that he wonât bother us again.â
Maisy was clear about her husbandâs quality. If she insisted on leaving Declan alone, it was useless, no matter what he said. She unconsciously let out a long sigh. The person who would be with her for the rest of her life was her husband, while she and her brother were only bound by blood. In terms of deep feelings, of course, she had a deeper feeling for her husband.
âCharles, itâs late already, go to bed early. Listen to your fatherâs words and leave this matter alone. It doesnât matter, even if Declan will hold a grudge against me for this matter later. After all, we have rarely been in contact over the years and he never showed any respect for me, his sister.â Charles still wanted to try. It wasnât for Matthew, but for Dolores.
âDad, Mom, I know you donât want to have any entanglements with Declan.
But after all, heâs your relative. If I stay out of it, people will gossip about him. Anyway, me and Tiana will be back in White City soon. Ask Declan to hand the person over to me and I will bring him to White City and then randomly arrange him in one place. No one will find him and it will keep Declan from complaining about anything.â
Alan didnât respond. He still didnât want Charles involved in this matter. But apparently, Charles wanted to help them, which made him feel comforted.
At that moment, Maisy felt more sorry that she had not shown Charles confidence earlier. Now, when they were in difficulties, he showed great concern for them. His sincerity was truly rare.
If Maisy knew Charlesâ true thoughts, would she regret letting her daughter marry him?
âAlan, letâs accept Declanâs request as what Charles just said. We can hide him in White City but not in our house. This way, we wonât offend Declan. He is my brother after all. Never mind, shall we help him this time?â Maisy gave her husband a wary glance.
If Alan didnât agree, she would have no choice.
Alan still didnât want to accept it. He said, âCharles, do you know what mischief Declan is up to? I donât want to implicate him. As you just said, I consider you a member of my family and you will accompany Tiana for the rest of her life. I donât want you to have any relationship with Declan, do you understand?â
âI know, we are family.â Charles also expressed his sincerity.
Seeing that Charles was so sincere, Alan was silent for two seconds. Then he asked, âAre you sure you wonât get involved?â
Charles replied confidently, âOf course Iâm sure.â
Alan didnât like to meddle in these matters. He glanced at his wife and said, âCall Declan. Besides, this is the last time weâll be able to help him. You should take this opportunity and make it clear to him. Ask him not to contact us again. I feel annoyed every time I see him. Your father never restrains him and even helps him with bad deeds. Is this the way to love him? It is harmful to him.â
âI know.â Maisy patted her husbandâs back and said, âYou can go to bed first. Iâll call him.â
Seeing Alan return to the bedroom, Maisy pulled out her phone and then looked toward Charles, âYou can go rest too. You can go rest too, Iâll tell you the progress tomorrow.â
âIâm not sleepy. Iâll wait until you finish the call.â said Charles.
Maisy could only dial Declan first. Soon, Declanâs voice was heard from the other end of the phone, âHowâs the progress? Dear Sister, have you told Alan about this?â.
âI canât let you hide it in my house, but I can provide a place for you to hide it. The others wonât be able to find it.â
Declan asked hesitantly, âWhat place?â
Was there any other safe place in B-Town where the others couldnât find him?
