The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie finally heaved a sigh of relief. He could see visibly with his naked eye that his wife, Claire, who was aside, was also in a much more relaxed mood at this moment, almost as if all the tension in her heart had finally been released. Claire also said to Charlie with a relaxed expression, "Honey, since that's the case, I will give Kelly a clear answer and tell her that I will be attending this masterclass!"

Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, "You should text her and hurry up to confirm the itinerary with her. I'll arrange the time and book the air tickets."

Claire nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "I will call her right now!"

After saying that, she took her cell phone immediately and ran out of the house joyfully as she went into the courtyard.

A few minutes later, she came back with incomparable excitement as she said to Charlie, "Honey, I've already confirmed with Kelly, and we can leave on the 28th at the end of the month!"

Charlie heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the date '28th'. The auction was scheduled for the 25th, which would leave him with a few days to wrap up.

So, Charlie said without thinking, "Okay, in that case, I will book the air tickets for the 28th, and I will also book a hotel near Rhode Island School of Design. We will leave on time on the 28th."

"That's great!" Claire spun around in place happily and said excitedly, "I'll start packing our luggage tomorrow!"

In truth, Charlie felt more or less resistant t o going to the United States.

This was mainly because his grandfather's family was based in the United States, and this family had a big business. Charlie was afraid that he would be discovered by his grandfather's family when he arrived in the United States.

Charlie did not have any grudges

against his grandfather's family, but it was just because his mother had some conflicts with her family over the matter of marrying his father back then. That was when his

mother had become more

distant from his grandfather's family.

Therefore, in Charlie's impression, the number of times he had met his grandparents was limited.

Later on, his parents had died, and Stephen had then hidden Charlie in the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute. Charlie had lost contact with his grandparents completely, and it had been close to twenty years now.

So, Charlie felt even more distant from his grandparents' family in his heart, and he did not want to disturb their lives.

However, since attending Rhode Island School of Design had been his wife's ideal and dream in life, he could only choose to go with her in order to make her wish come true.

In Charlie's opinion, it would naturally be best if he did not have any interactions with his grandparents' family if he went to the United States this time.

However, if the two sides were to inevitably meet and encounter each other, they could only be polite and exchange pleasantries when the time came. The only thing that he would have to note was not to let his wife, Claire, find out about it.

Charlie was already used to being alone. Although he did not have a social phobia, he felt some resistance to most social activities He would feel rather uncomfortable if it was just a friendly chat between relatives, and he would rather not have any contact with everyone than exchange fake greetings and pleasantries with each other.

Moreover, Charlie also had self-awareness.

He felt that his grandfather and grandmother were already estranged from him. Not to mention the fact that his mother was also long gone, his grandfather and grandmother probably felt as distant and estranged from him as well.
