The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3060

Charlie nodded. "Yes."

The other party then handed him a square box with a side length of about fifty centimeters and said, "This is the cake that Miss Wilson has ordered. Please sign for it."

Charlie took the cake, and just as he was about to sign on the slip, the other party reminded him, "You should open it and take a look first. I will bring it back to the cake shop directly if there is a problem. Otherwise, if you sign for it and then complain about it when you replace a problem with it later, at that time, delivery men like us will also have to take the responsibility for it."

Charlie did not think too much, and he untied the red ribbon on the cake box. After opening the top cover of the box carefully, a beautiful double-layer cake came into his view.

This cake did not look as luxurious and exquisite as Quinn's custom-made five-layer cake, and there were also no vivid and lifelike fondant dolls on the top of the cake. It was only a moderate-looking cake, but there was a line of words written with chocolate sauce on top of the cake, which made Charlie feel a warm current surge in his heart.

The content of that line of words was: "Happy birthday

to my dear Mr. Wade."

The inscription was: "Love your wife, Claire."

When Charlie saw these words, he smiled knowingly a s he said to the delivery man, "The cake is fine. I'll sign for it directly."

After he had said that, he signed the bill and handed it back to the delivery man.

The delivery man took the bill and left. At this time, Charlie repacked the cake and carried it back into the house.

This scene happened to be seen by Lady Wilson, who was hanging the laundry out on the terrace of the opposite villa. 1

She saw Charlie walking back into the villa after collecting the cake, and she could not help but return to the room as she curiously asked Christopher and Harold, who were lying on the bed, "Christopher, Harold, do you know what day it is today?" 3

Christopher smiled wryly and said, "Mom, ever since before the New Year until now, I've been performing all of my ordinary daily routines in bed. So, I do not know what day it is on the calendar or even what day of the week it is."

Harold also chimed in and said, "Grandma, I don't remember what day it is either."

Lady Wilson muttered to herself, "It is the second day of February now, but I can't seem to remember whose birthday it is today. That unfilial son of mine, Jacob, seems to have been born during the winter, and that wretched girl, Claire, seems to have been born in the summer..."

Harold seemed to remember something, and he said," February 2nd? It seems as though it is that b*stard, Charlie Wade's birthday today!"

Lady Wilson frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure!" Harold nodded repeatedly. "There was this one time when I ran to the barber store to cut my hair after January had just ended. I happened to see Charlie and Claire eating out at a small restaurant

next to the barber store. There was also a small cake on the table. I observed them for a while, and I saw Charlie blowing out the candles. So, Claire must have been celebrating Charlie's birthday for him. Grandma, you do not know how shabby that cake was. It was not even as big as a plate."

When Lady Wilson heard these words, she suddenly seemed to be in a good mood as she smiled and said, "Oh! So, it's that ingrate, Charlie's birthday today?! I really did not expect him to go down so soon!" Harold was puzzled, and he asked, "Grandma, what happened? Why are you saying that?" 3

Lady Wilson curled her lips and said,

"There were so many people who

came over and lined up in order to give Charlie gifts before the New Year. Ju look at this now. January has just passed, but no one came to congratulate and wish Charlie on his birthday. This proves that Charlie is already going down, and that those rich and powerful people are not taking him seriously anymore!"

Harold subconsciously asked, "Grandma, you can tell that Charlie is already going down just based on this fact alone?"

Lady Wilson said seriously, "Harold, there is an idiom stating that the falling of one leaf heralds the coming of autumn. As long as you see a leaf falling, this means that autumn is already here. Would winter be far away if autumn is already coming?" 2

After that, Lady Wilson spoke with a profound analysis, "Just think about it. If Charlie is truly doing well now, his house would be surrounded by a group of those rich people. There is another idiom, stating that the front yard is as busy as a marketplace. This idiom describes the situation where a person's door would be

even more lively as compared to the marketplace if he is popular!"

"But as you can see, since it is Charlie's birthday, it should be a very big and important matter to those who would want to flatter him. This should be even more important as compared to the New Year.

However, so far, not a single person has shown up at their door yet. On the contrary, this sets off yet another idiom, stating that you can catch sparrows at the door!"

"I can already make a clear judgment based on this sign alone. Charlie must have already messed up right

now, or perhaps, he is about to be done for!"
