The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2572

Nevertheless, Jasmine didn't explicitly say it over the phone, so Charlie couldn't directly show that he already knew the exact situation. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?" 3

Jasmine said, "Grandpa said he hasn't had the chance to invite you over recently, so he wanted me to ask if you had time to come over for dinner tonight."

Charlie didn't expect that Jasmine's words would be that Lord Moore wanted to invite him to dinner. She never mentioned Nanako, so Charlie guessed that it should be Nanako who wanted to give him a surprise. 1

When he thought of that beautiful and generous but also gentle and quiet Yamato Nadeshiko, Charlie's yearning for her would inevitably surge in his heart. The scene of him with her in Kyoto's snowy night stroll again in his mind. 2

After a moment of contemplation, Charlie pretended to know nothing and said to Jasmine, "Since the old man has invited me, I naturally can't refuse, so please tell him that I will go there tonight." When Jasmine heard of Charlie's promise, she said happily, "That's really great. Do you need me to drive over to pick you up?"

Charlie laughed. "Don't bother. My father-in-law happens to be at home, I'll drive his car there later." "Good." Jasmine said with joy, "Then, I'll wait for Master Wade's presence at home!" 2 After saying goodbye to Charlie, Jasmine then ended the call.

At the side, Nanako, who was already dancing with excitement at this time, hugged Jasmine's waist and said happily, "Sister Jasmine, you are too wonderful!"

Jasmine said with a smile, "Don't just thank me! Ever since I've known Master Wade till now, this is the first time I've ever lied to Master Wade. When I meet him later, you'll have to explain to him yourself why you let me lie to him!" 4

Nanako said with a smile, "Sister Jasmine, don't worry. I will definitely explain it clearly to Charliekun. You have helped me so much, how could I let you take the blame for me?"

After saying that, Nanako added, "Right, Sister Jasmine, please help me make an appointment with Aurora. I have picked an Akita puppy for her from home, it's with my assistant at the moment." Jasmine said with a smile, "That's really great. Aurora likes the Akita pup you gave me. Whenever I send the photo of the little one to my circle of friends, she will definitely like it and leave a message. She absolutely adores it! I'll let her know right now!"

Nanako reminded, "Then, make sure you tell her to keep it a secret before she comes! Don't leak the news of my coming to Aurous Hill to Charlie in advance." 4

Jasmine nodded. "Don't worry, I will remind her."

At this moment, Charlie saw that it was almost dinner time, and Claire had informed him in advance that she would not come back for dinner tonight. So, he finished the work at hand and returned to the villa. Elaine had already prepared a few dishes, and when she saw Charlie entering, she hurriedly said, "Oh, good son-in-law, are you finished with the vegetable garden?"

Charlie nodded. "Already done."

Elaine hurriedly said, "Oh, you've really worked hard! I've just prepared the food, quickly wash your hands and come over to eat."

Charlie said, "Right, Mom, I have a dinner party tonight, so I won't be eating at home."

"Ah?" Elaine was a bit surprised and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go out to eat? The meal is

almost ready, and I even specially made stewed lamb chops for you!"

As he was talking, Jacob came down from upstairs and said in a hurry, "I'm not going to eat at home tonight either. Charlie has to come with me to eat with the people from the Calligraphy and Painting

Association!"
