Stephanie calling the Rejuvenation Pills a betrothal gift left the couple momentarily stunned.
Charlie wade, for his part, felt a bit awkward in that instant.
But in such a situation, he knew he couldn’t explain or correct Stephanie’s words.
If he let it slide, allowing the couple to accept the pills with peace of mind, then this matter could be considered temporarily resolved in a fairly satisfactory way.
As for the engagement, in Charlie wade’s mind, it could only be pushed further into the future. Right now, he felt like an ostrich burying its head in the sand when faced with a problem, unable to think of a reasonable solution beyond avoidance.
The couple, meanwhile, watched Charlie wade closely. Seeing him neither react nor speak, they felt a touch of relief.
They understood Charlie wade’s mindset and circumstances, knowing it’d be a bit unreasonable to expect him to fully acknowledge his marriage to Stephanie openly at this moment.
For Charlie wade to neither deny nor refute Stephanie’s betrothal gift comment was already commendable.
Seeing her parents’ attitudes soften, Stephanie seized the moment and pressed on, “Dad, Mom, the Rejuvenation Pills are a token of Brother Charlie wade’s heart, just accept them quickly, and take them right after, don’t keep them around, these things are priceless, their significance to some people is too great, we simply can’t afford to hold onto them.”
For Stephanie, all her thoughts revolved around her parents and Charlie wade.
Her parents taking the Rejuvenation Pills would be one of the happiest things for her as a daughter, it meant not only better health for them, but also a higher quality of life.
If they accepted the pills but couldn’t bear to use them, the pills would become a dangerously unpredictable factor.
Should someone with ill intentions find out, they’d surely take desperate risks for those two pills, putting her parents in grave danger.
And while Stephanie wasn’t worried her parents would profit off the pills, if someone else got their hands on them and did so, it’d bring Charlie wade a lot of negative fallout.
The reason Charlie wade could fetch billions of dollars for a single Rejuvenation Pill at auction was its unique scarcity, if two more appeared on the market, it’d surely disrupt everything.
For reasons of emotion, logic, and personal interest, she felt the best solution was for her parents to accept and immediately consume the pills.
Plus, this way, their urgency to push Charlie wade into marriage would likely ease, avoiding any disturbance to him.
Angie suddenly didn’t know what to do, such a significant decision wasn’t hers to make alone, so she looked to her husband with a seeking gaze.
Lord Orrin pondered for a long time before finally nodding, “Since it’s Charlie heartfelt gesture, we can’t let it go to waste, besides, these Rejuvenation Pills do hold immense meaning for us, living a few more years not only lets us enjoy life longer, but also gives us more time with you all, so you won’t feel so alone.”
With that, he picked up one of the pills and said to his wife, “Wanqiu, the Rejuvenation Pills are priceless, we can’t let them face any risk, let’s listen to Chen’er and Nannan and take them.”
Angie nodded gently.
For her, the pill meant youth, better health, and a longer life, for the family, it meant more quality time with her husband, daughter, and Charlie wade, her future son-in-law.
So, not wanting to take the pill was impossible, she just felt it was too precious to accept without merit.
