To Live an Eternal Life

Chapter 3: The Late Gift

Bride price?

Charlie was a little confused. Could it be that Jaiden sent over?

"I don't know which wealthy men has crushed on the girl of the Hunt Family." Katherine's eyes were

shining. She said, "Charlie, do you know what the bride price is?"

"Tell me."

"Gold hairpin, gold clothes, a legendary luminous pearl, green jade, gold and diamonds... In short,

there is everything. The most shocking is the money."

Katherine patted her chest. She was still very surprised, and said, "It's 9.99 million dollars which are

filled in three big boxes. After it was opened, my God, everyone in the Old House was quiet and it last

for more than a minute. Everyone was shocked."

"The man didn’t say who gave this?"

"No, but..."

Katherine paused a little. She looked at Charlie, and said, "The person who gave the gift said he was

from the Lloyd family, but he didn't tell us his full name and didn't tell us who gave the gifts. So now the

Hunt Family is arguing, especially the girls who are not married. They are arguing who will be the lucky

girl."

"The most disgusting thing is that bastard, Ewan, used this to humiliate us. It's so embarrassing. Mom

felt so unhappy. So we didn't finish the meal and then came back."

"It seems that Mom will be unhappy for a few days. If she scolds you, just pretend that you can't hear it.

Don't take it to your heart. It really gets you wronged."

Charlie shook his head. Now he was sure about his guess.

The bride price was given by Jaiden. This old boy was really shrewd. He even sent those bride gifts to

the Hunt Old House but didn't explain clearly.

Wasn't it obvious to let the Hunt Family turn against each other?

Of course, Charlie also had speculations that Jaiden might want to avenge him.

But with his current identity, even if he said it was him who gave the bride price, who would believe it?

Charlie smiled bitterly. It seemed that he could only explain it in the future.

"Do you envy it?"

"What?" Katherine was taken aback.

Charlie said, "You are so beautiful, outstanding in ability, and good in character. If you don't marry me,

you can compete with other women in the Hunt Family. On your terms, you are likely to win and then

marry into a rich family."

Katherine groaned, "Yes, I indeed envied it a little, but just for a short while. Now I don't envy it

anymore."

"Why?" Charlie was surprised.

"The important thing in the marriage is to find the right person. If you aren’t excellent enough, even if

you marry into a big wealthy family, you will definitely not have a good life. Instead, you will be trapped

in a cage. I know myself well. The life like now is very good. The family is taken care of by you. I can

concentrate on my career."

Charlie fell silent, and then smiled for a while. He asked again, "Why don't you think about that the

bride price was to you?"

Katherine rolled her eyes at him, "Are you insane? I'm married. Which rich men want a married

woman? It cannot be me."

It was not necessarily.

Charlie murmured, but didn't say it out.

"Well, that..."

"What’s up?"

Seeing Katherine hesitating to say something, Charlie said again, "It doesn't matter. If you want to

divorce, I won't refuse. We can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now."

"No, I want to say I'm sorry to you." Katherine apologized, "Mom slapped you in the Hunt Old House.

Please forgive her. At that time, she was eager to save my father so she lost her mind. If you feel

grieved, you can slap me."

"That’s it?"

Charlie shook his head and smiled, "It's okay. I don't mind."

"Thank you."

Katherine bit her lips. Tears welled up into her eyes.

For three years, no matter how much insults, no matter how much irony, the man in front of her always © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

smiled at her, without any complaints.

Was there a sun in his heart?

Katherine was so moved.

Everyone said Charlie was a wimp, Katherine didn't think so. If a wimp suffered so much, he would

have already had collapsed long ago, and maybe become insane.

But Charlie, for three years, he took it calmly, without any influence.

What a tenacious belief!

In fact, there was a secret Katherine never told anyone. Every time she was hit in her life; every time

she was targeted by others in her career; every time she couldn't keep going...

Charlie's smile gave her a lot of strength, healed her heartache, and made her move on.

During the hard days, they supported each other.

"Charlie, thank you so much."

Katherine couldn't help but blurted out. Her voice was very gentle. She blushed after speaking it, her

eyes slightly dodging.

"You are really different. Everyone calls me a wimp, but you always thank me. Why do you thank me? I

haven't done anything."

"You do not understand."

Katherine got up, walked to the door and turned back suddenly, smiling, "Charlie, you have to work

hard. I will work hard. My family's life will gradually get better. I have always firmly believed."

"Okay."

In the empty room, Katherine's words did not go away for a long time.

Charlie was lost in his thoughts for a while, and then a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his

mouth. He had made a decision. Then he took out his cell phone to make a call.

A few seconds later, Jaiden's voice sounded on the phone, "Master, what can I do for you?"

"Jaiden, listen up, I need you..."
