The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5778

Vera couldn't help but ask him angrily, “Shouldn't you call me 'darling' as well?”

Charlie coughed twice and asked her, “There's no one else here. Do you really want me to call you that?”

Vera felt aggrieved and said, “We agreed on this earlier…”

Charlie immediately said seriously, “Alright, I'll keep my promise.”

After adjusting himself, he said, “Darling, we'll reach the airport in half an hour.”

Vera smiled sweetly and said, “Got it. Thank you, darling!”

Vera, who was satisfied, couldn't help but notice Charlie's left hand on the steering wheel, and she curiously asked, “Darling, didn't you wear the ring I gave you when you came out?”

Charlie casually replied, “Why would I wear it? The ring recognizes your father as its owner, not me. If we encounter danger together, it will still teleport me to you. If we really meet Fleur, wouldn't that be like a bug getting stuck, unable to escape her grasp? It would be like giving her the ring for nothing. So, it's better not to wear it.”

He continued, “Fleur dreams of having your ring. If we don't carry it with us, even if she catches us, we'll have some leverage to negotiate with her.”

Vera nodded and said, “Darling, you're meticulous in considering everything. I didn't think of that…”

Charlie nodded, “No problem, just follow my lead.”

With that said Charlie took out his phone and checked. On the paid version of the flight app, he could clearly see that Fleur's plane had already flown over New Zealand and was very close to Melbourne.

As Vera linked arms with Charlie, he whispered as he looked at his phone, “Fleur's plane has descended. It seems she'll definitely need to stop in Melbourne to refuel. It will take at least an hour, so we'll probably take off around the same time as her. Considering she has to go to Myanmar first, we have plenty of time, so much so that we can even travel and enjoy the journey.”

Vera nodded slightly and sighed as she said, “I haven't been back for many years. Once we reach Yorkshire Hill, everything will be at your discretion.”
