The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5851

Charlie did not have a reason to refuse Vera’s request. Though Mount Tason was undoubtedly treacherous for a frail girl like Vera, with him around, those dangers seemed trivial. With this thought in mind, Charlie agreed, saying, “Since that's the case, let’s go together.”

Vera was extremely thrilled and nodded eagerly as she said, “Thank you, Young Master! I'll try my best not to cause you any trouble!”

Charlie smiled slightly and sat next to the Mother of Pu'er Tea as he suggested, “Let's wait here for a while. We will dig up this sapling and head to the airport at dawn.”

Vera nodded before sitting down next to the Mother of Pu'er Tea. She looked at the calm surface of Heavenly Lake and asked softly, “Young Master, do you think the storm just now was reality or simply an illusion?”

Charlie pondered for a moment and said, “It should have been an illusion, right? What do you think?”

Vera contemplated it for a moment and said, “I feel like it was somewhere between reality and illusion.”

Charlie furrowed his brows and asked, “Shouldn't it be one or the other?”

Vera shook her head and said, “It feels like it was half true and half false, true yet false, false yet true.”

Charlie said with a smile, “We can ask the nearby villagers tomorrow if they heard thunder and rain last night. The commotion was so loud just now, so it's impossible for the villagers nearby not to have noticed if it was real.”

Vera nodded lightly, murmuring, “It seems like it won't be that simple…”

She then looked at Charlie and said with a smile, “Maybe I'm overthinking it.”

Charlie nodded without much thought, glanced at the camping equipment they had brought when they got out of the car, and asked her, “Miss Lavor, after all this running around, are you tired? Do you want me to set up the tent so you can rest for a while?”

The same went for Vera as well. For over three hundred years, she had adopted countless orphans, but she only confided her secrets to those she trusted the most. Aside from the children she raised, she didn't tell her secrets to any outsiders, and Charlie was the first.

Therefore, they regarded each other as true confidants, and the only ones at that.

As Banna was located in the southwest, the actual time of dawn was about an hour later than in the eastern region. So, they continued chatting until it was nearly seven o'clock in the morning when the sky gradually brightened.

At this point, Charlie had finished recounting his experiences in just over twenty years, while Vera had only reached the early 20th century.

When Vera saw that it was getting bright, she said to Charlie, “Young Master, we should probably leave now, right?”
