Chapter 629: Chapter 629



.

“After Tom’s injury gets better, you guys go back to White City.” Alan was afraid he had dragged him into this.

Charles knew he was doing it for the sake of himself, but how could he walk away quietly without seeing the outcome of this matter?

“You’ve done enough.” Alan sat back in the chair, “The superiors have set up a task force to investigate this incident. Once verified with conclusive evidence, not even the president could save them, so there is no need for you to stay in this mess.”

After hearing the seriousness of this incident, Charles asked, “Are you on the task force?”

Alan shook his head, “They were all sent from above. I have relationships with the Bailey Family, so they wouldn’t include me. This time, the higher-ups are very focused on this matter, as it has gotten bad. If the situation gets worse, I could also be investigated.”

“Is this so serious?” Charles frowned slightly, and he had probably known the outcome of this incident.

“At this juncture, the higher-ups have been deliberately bullying the officers below. Giving brutal examples for others to see, the government would also use such methods.

After all, the government-dictated crackdown on the underworld forces had just come to an end, and then this sort of thing happened.

This was tantamount to a slap in the face, and had to be punished severely.

“This time, you have to listen to me. You have to come back as soon as possible to avoid being affected.”

Alan understood the seriousness of this incident.

“As for the officials you associate with, I will take care of them. You don’t have to worry about that and just take Tiana Meyer back to White City and have a simple life.” Alan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t worry.”

Charles was only thinking of himself at that moment and had no regard for Alan. He knew Alan’s character and his relationship with Mrs. Meyer, so he didn’t tell Alan. Instead, he did things behind his back to find people around him using Alan and his identity as a relationship. Now thinking about what she had done, she gave Alan quite a bit of trouble. After all, his personality was famous in the circle, but he had tarnished his name.

“I’m sorry.”

“We’re family; that sentence sounds like we’re strangers.” Alan appreciated Charles and, at the same time, wanted him as a son-in-law.

Knock knock!

This time there was a knock at the door; Tiana’s voice was heard, “Dad, Charles, it’s time to eat.”

“I hear you.” Alan said to his daughter.

“Let’s eat.” Alan went over to open the order so Charles could get out easily.

Dinner was prepared by Tiana. The news was so sensational that it was hard for Mrs. Meyer not to hear about it. However, something happened to the people who were related to her by blood. She was in a bad mood, and lay in bed inside without coming out.

Alan let them eat first: “I’ll go see your mother.”

Then Alan went into the room. Mrs. Meyer was lying on the bed as if she were sick; she didn’t have much energy, and looked totally tired.

Alan sat on the edge of the bed, “The boys are here; get up and eat something.”

“I have no appetite. I really can’t eat anything.” Mrs. Meyer said quietly, and her voice sounded weak.

Alan sighed, “How about I quit my job and we go with the boys to live in White City?”.

Mrs. Meyer immediately joined in, “How can you do that?”

She clearly knew that her husband was someone with aspirations and ideals, and that was also what she admired.

An honest person willing to work with integrity was now hard to find. She reached for her husband’s hand, “Have I affected you?”

Alan stared, “You and I are a couple. There is nothing that affects us.”

Mrs. Meyers was not stupid. This incident was very serious. Whoever had relations with the Bailey Family would probably be implicated.

“Mom, Dad, can I come in?”

Tiana was knocking on the door from outside.

“Come in.” Mrs. Meyer let go of her husband’s hand and spoke.

Tiana opened the door, and took the tray from Charles’ hands and then went inside. On the tray was food: “Mom, eat something. You haven’t had lunch, so you have to have dinner or you’ll starve to death.”

The Lady smiled reluctantly, “It’s better to have a daughter.”

Tiana placed the food on the table next to the bed, “I have cooked what you like to eat, so hurry up and eat.”

The Lady drank water first.

“Mom, come live with us in White City.” said Charles.

Mrs. Meyer knew he cared about her; she felt warmth in her heart, and was relieved, “I won’t leave. If I go, your father will be left alone. I have to go with him. You’re going, aren’t you? When are you going to leave? If you want to go, go quickly; this whole place is a mess now.”

Madam also hoped they would return quickly to White City.

Charles said, “We’ll leave in two days.”

He understood that Tiana was the beloved daughter of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he was willing to take Tiana with him.

Tiana looked at Charles, “Why did you decide to leave, you didn’t even tell me?”.

Charles laughed, “Are there still things you haven’t done?”.

“There are.” Tiana thought for a while, “Before we go, I want to say goodbye to Dolores.”

“Dolores who?” The lady was confused for a moment.

She didn’t know who she was referring to.

However, Charles knew immediately who she meant, and his eyes lowered, “No, let’s go.”

Tiana didn’t understand why Charles didn’t want to go, “Don’t you want to see Dolores?”

Charles said against his will, “I don’t want to.”

“Who are you talking about?” Mrs. Meyer gave them a look, and the appearance of Dolores Flores flashed through her mind. The last time, when something had happened to Charles, her daughter had also stayed there overnight. Suddenly it dawned on her: “You mean her.”

Tiana nodded vigorously, “Dolores has a daughter at home. She was very beautiful and cute. I like her very much.”

“Do you like children?” Mrs. Meyer asked.

Tiana nodded without thinking, “Yes.”

Mrs. Meyer looked at Charles and smiled, “Then hurry up and have a baby. I’ll take care of the baby for you.”

Charles felt awkward like a young man who hasn’t grown up, scratched his head and said, “You eat first.”

Tiana knew that Charles still liked Dolores, and said, “I don’t want to have a baby.”

Mrs. Meyer thought this was not good, “How can you not have a baby?”.

“I don’t want to have a baby now.” explained Tiana.

Mrs. Meyer glared at her, “You scared me.”

The next day, Tiana let Charles take her to say goodbye to Dolores.

Charles now wanted to hold back his feelings and tried not to go; however, Tiana was very determined, so she went.

They chose the afternoon hour. The afternoon hour was much longer, and besides, she could avoid lunch.

Arriving at the mansion, he did not get out of the car, and let Tiana go alone.

Tiana tugged at him, “We were able to successfully find someone to change you. Dolores helped too, aren’t you going to at least thank her?”.

Charles looked at Tiana helplessly, “Tiana, you clearly know I like her, yet you want me to get in touch with her. You wouldn’t be jealous?”

Tiana said, “I would be envious of Dolores. You love her very much. I know you wanted to see her, but you’re holding out. I like to see you happy. If you’re happy, so am I.”

Charles suddenly realized he wasn’t as straightforward as she was. ‘Seeing the person you like being happy, isn’t that happiness?’

‘Why does it have to forcibly take hold of others for it to be considered love?’

He reached out and clasped her hand in his arms, ‘Promise me you’ll stay with me all the time.’

Tiana also embraced him and said, ‘I will stay with you always, watching your hair turn white and you become an old master.’

Charles pinched her face, “If I grew old, wouldn’t you grow old, too?”

“I won’t grow old; I’ll probably be like this forever.” said Tiana laughing.

“Let’s get out of the car.” Tiana pushed the car door.

Charles said yes.

As they got out of the car, some cars pulled to the side of the road.
