Charlie wade looked worried and said, “The reason I’m not telling Claire the truth has a lot to do with them. Claire is a very filial girl. If I tell her about these things, she’ll most likely tell her parents.”
“And my in-laws are not easy to deal with. If they find out about my powerful background, they’ll probably become even more arrogant. If word gets out, it could ruin my plans.”
“That makes sense,” Lord wade said after pondering for a moment, nodding seriously.
Elaine and Jacob Wilson were both highly unstable factors, and when these two lost their temper, they could be completely reckless, especially Elaine.
Thinking of this, Lord wade also felt a bit melancholic. He sighed and said, “Charlie, by your father’s generation, he was the only pillar of the Wade family. In your generation, it’s only you. And in the next generation, I believe only you can produce a descendant as outstanding as you and your father. So, you can’t keep putting off the matter of having children.”
“Whether or not you come clean with Miss Wilson in the short term, you must make having children your top priority.”
Charlie wade nodded and said, “What you’re saying makes sense, Grandfather. I’ll consider this matter carefully. However, I still think it’s too early to have children now. I haven’t yet avenged Wu Fiona. If I have a child now and something happens to me, if I end up like my father, dying unexpectedly, what will happen to my son? Will I have to hide him away and wait for him to grow up to avenge me?”
Lord wade fell silent for a long time, his eyes slightly red.
After a long pause, he slowly said, “A few days ago, I met with Orrin.”
Charlie wade knew that the “Orrin” his grandfather was referring to was Stephanie’s father, Lord Orrin, Uncle Orrin.
So he asked, “What did you and Uncle Orrin talk about?”
Lord wade said with emotion, “Orrin told me that Nannan is planning to retire from the entertainment industry. After retiring, she plans to do nothing but stay by her parents’ side…”
At this point, he paused, his aged eyes fixed on Charlie wade as he said earnestly, “Waiting for you.”
Put together, it meant that she would stay by her parents’ side, waiting for you.
“Waiting for me?”
Charlie wade suddenly remembered Lord Orrin’s three-year agreement.
He had said that he would give Charlie wade three years to resolve his marital issues, and after three years, Charlie wade would marry Stephanie.
At the time, Charlie wade had neither agreed nor disagreed.
After all, it was a marriage arrangement made by his parents, and Lord Orrin was his father’s closest brother.
How could he outright refuse in front of him?
But time kept moving forward.
Three years had passed, and it felt both long and short.
Seeing that Charlie wade remained silent, Lord wade continued, “Orrin is also very concerned about your next generation. He’s your father’s best brother and cares deeply about the continuation of your family line…”
Charlie wade felt that his grandfather was hinting at something, so he said, “Grandfather, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There’s no need to beat around the bush. It’s just the two of us here, no outsiders.”
Lord wade nodded and said word by word, “Orrin’s idea is that you don’t have to marry Nannan right away, but he hopes that Nannan can have your child first, to continue your family line!”
“How can that be!” Charlie wade stood up in a panic and firmly refused, “I can’t give Nannan a proper status, nor can I openly raise the child by her side. This is completely inappropriate!”
“You’re being foolish!” Lord wade rarely lost his temper with Charlie wade, but now he spoke sternly, “The Sun family is a prominent and respected family. Nannan is the only daughter of the Sun family and one of the most famous singers among Chinese people. You could say she’s a princess admired by millions! Such a proud and accomplished woman, and your Uncle Orrin is willing to let her have a child out of wedlock, quietly bearing your descendant. How can you still refuse? Where does that leave your Uncle Orrin’s dignity?!”
With that, Lord wade added, “Let me tell you! This isn’t just your Uncle Orrin’s idea, it’s the unanimous decision of the entire Sun family!”
