When Yolden heard Autumn's words, it took him a while to recover from his surprise.

He subconsciously blurted out, "You don't like girls?! If you don't like girls, could it be that you actually like boys, then?!"

Autumn did not expect that her father would still look so shocked after hearing her reply. So, she could not help but ask, "Dad... do you think that I should like boys or girls, then?" 2 Yolden immediately looked very pleased, and he was incessantly happy as he said, "From my point of view as your father, of course I think that it would be better for you to like boys!"

After he was done speaking, Yolden hurriedly looked a t Charlie before he blurted out, "Charlie, forget about that girl named Sophie. You should see if there are any suitable and talented young men around you. If there is one, you should introduce him to Autumn!" 4

Charlie smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Okay, sure!

I'll pay more attention to it, then."

Autumn had an awkward expression on her face as she said, "Dad, I do not have any such plans for that for the time being. Mr. Wade took such a big risk to

rescue me. So, I'll have to focus all of my attention on my work first. I'll wait for two years before I start thinking about getting into a relationship." 4

Yolden had a smile on his face as he said, "Oh! As long as you say that you like boys, I feel much more at ease. If you want to wait for another two years, we can wait for another two years, then. You can take your time!"

After Yolden was done speaking, he hastened to pour another glass of liquor as he said to Charlie, "Come, Charlie. Drink another glass of liquor with me. It is truly two happy events happening at the same time for me today! Good things indeed come in pairs!"

Charlie naturally knew why Yolden was so happy. So, he smiled as he raised his wine glass and said, "Since Uncle Hart is so happy today, we can drink a few more glasses, then."

After drinking and socializing more, Yolden got drunker and drunker.

By the time they were almost finished with their meal, Yolden was already in a daze.

When Charlie saw that the meal and liquor were almost finished, he said to Autumn, "Autumn, why don't we stop here today? I'll ask Albert to send you and Uncle Hart home. The both of you should rest well after going back."

Autumn nodded gently before she spoke up and asked, "Mr. Wade, do you have time tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner alone so that I can show you my appreciation." 7

Charlie waved his hand. "Forget about it today. You should rest well over the next two days first. We can plan to meet up again after that. We could also discuss the preparation for the ocean shipping business in detail then."

Autumn then said, "Alright. I'll wait for your news." 3

At this time, Yolden said drunkenly, "Oh, Charlie... you ... you're really my greatest benefactor. In the future, if there is anything that you need my help with for your ocean shipping company, you... you can just speak up directly!"

Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Hart. Don't worry. I'll have to trouble you in the future."

Yolden immediately retorted, "What do you mean by trouble? How can this be called troubling me? In contrast, I'll have to trouble you to help me take care of Autumn in the future. This child of mine is really intelligent, and she has learned and gained a lot of knowledge. However, she lacks social experience and realism. So, I'm afraid that she will go astray because she is fastidious but incompetent. So, you don't have to take care of her too much. It's fine if she does a good job, but if she does not do well, you can scold her if you need to!" 9

Charlie laughed as he said, "Uncle Hart, I believe that Autumn will certainly do a good job."

Yolden said emotionally, "That would be best, then..."

After he was done speaking, Yolden looked at Charlie. Yolden did not know what was wrong with himself, but he suddenly sighed as he said, "Sigh. You got married a little too early. Otherwise, I would not have to worry about her if you could be my son-in-law..."

Autumn's face immediately flushed red as she blushed, and she said, "Dad, what are you saying..."

Yolden laughed mockingly before he said, "I'm simply feeling a little emotional because I drank too much!"

Charlie smiled as he said, "Since you've had too much to drink, I'll send you back to rest first."

After he was done speaking, Charlie called for Albert, and he asked Albert to send Yolden and Autumn home.

After Albert had driven away, Charlie was suddenly a little anxious. He did not know whether he should make a trip home first, or whether he should just go to Shangri-La to rest for a short while. 3

So, he called Isaac and asked him, "Mr. Cameron, has Rosalie's mother set off yet?"

Isaac hurriedly replied, "Young Master, I just received a report from my subordinate. Yashita Harker has already left for the airport on a helicopter. It is estimated that she'll arrive in Aurous Hill in about three and a half to four hours." s

Charlie calculated the time. A little more than three hours would pass by very quickly. So, there was no need for him to specially make a trip home first. After all, his wife, Claire, would certainly not be at home a this time.

Thus, he drove back to Shangri-La directly, planning to rest for a while as he waited for Yashita's arrival. 5
