The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Charlie was very puzzled. 5 He truly did not understand why this old man seemed to have figured him out with just a single glance.

However, since this old man had already helped him solve the problem at hand, the most important thing for him right now would be for him to go and pay his respects to his parents first. Everything else could be put on hold for the tbeing.

So, Charlie arched his hand as he told the old man," Thank you, sir." After he was done speaking, he pretended to support Yule as he started walking up the steps accompanied by Rachel and Quinn.

No one else followed behind them, including the old master who was simply standing quietly below the steps at this time. He was simply staring at Charlie's back as he held back the excitement he was feeling inside. 5 The Wade family mausoleum was divided into nine different rows.

The top row belonged to the first ancestor of the Wade family who had left this world.

The lower the level, the lower the seniority.

Charlie's parents were buried in the penultimate row.

There were a total of twenty graves of similar size in this row. However, there was only one grave that had a tombstone in front of it.

Yule stopped at this row and pointed at the only tombstone in this row as he told Charlie, "Charlie, that is your parents' tomb." Charlie nodded slightly before he murmured, "For this generation of the Wade family, are my parents the only ones who have passed away? Everyone else is still alive, right?" Yule replied, "That's right. Although most people in that generation are already in their forties and fifties, people at this age are in the prof their lives. If your parents had not been murdered, they would have been the current cornerstone of the Wade family by now." 7 Charlie sighed as he walked inward.

All of those security personnel and the old master were all down the steps. Thus, they could not see what was going on here. Therefore, Charlie did not need to keep putting on an act here, and he cbefore his parent's graves before Yule.

As soon as he approached his parents' graves, he took off his sunglasses and mask as he looked at the photos and names of his parents on the tombstone. At this time, tears began flowing from his eyes, and he could not stop it at all.

In his mind, it seemed as though he was playing a movie at a very fast speed. 7 This movie chronicled the moment when he could remember all of his memories to the point when he reached the age of eight.

After that, the fragments of his life for the past ten years and more started flashing in his mind at an even faster speed.

The eighteen years without his parents by his side had been extremely long and difficult. It was also filled with all sorts of bitterness and pain that any ordinary person would not be able to understand.

At this time, Charlie had countless words in his heart that he wanted to say and confide in his deceased parents. However, he felt as though something was stuck in his throat, and he could not say a word at all.

After crying for a short moment in front of his parents' tombstone, Charlie knelt to the ground with a thud as he held the flowers with both hands and placed the bouquet respectfully in front of the tombstone. After that, he choked up as he said, "Dad, Mom, I was not filial. It tookeighteen long years before I finally cto see you. Throughout all these years, I have been living a very difficult life and I did not have the ability to do anything else at all. I could not even fend for myself. I could not fulfill the filial piety of a child. I hope that both of you can forgive me..." 4 After he was done speaking, he lowered his body as he started kowtowing nine times in front of his parents' tombstone.

As people said, a person should kneel to heaven, earth, and their parents. However, in Charlie's opinion, he would not kneel before heaven or earth, but in this world, only his parents were worthy enough for him to kneel and kowtow before them, s At this time, Yule also stepped forward as he knelt on one knee in front of the tombstone and sighed as he said, "Big Brother and Sister-in-Law, I made a promise to you eighteen years ago. At the end of the day, I did not break my promise, and I managed to fulfill my promise to you. Look! I've finally brought Charlie here to see you. He has already turned out to be a very capable and talented person now! He is just like you back in the days, Brother. He is a very capable person amongst all men!" 10

As he spoke, Yule wiped the tears off his face and continued, "When I cto see you the last time, I told youn that I will cand see you very soon. However, I truly did not expect Charlie to save my life. Big Brother and Sister-in-Law, I am sorry, but you might have to wait fora little longer, then..." s Yule was already crying when he said this.

Rachel stepped forward, and she also knelt on one knee beside Yule as she choked up and said, "Big Brothenand Sister-in-Law, thank you for watching over Yule in heaven and blessing him so that he could survive this catastrophe. We will never forget the Wade family's kindness toward the Golding family in this lifetime..." Quinn knelt beside Charlie on both knees, but she did not say anything at all. Instead, she simply cried silently next to Charlie. 10

After kneeling on the ground for a very long time, Charlie finally wiped the tears off his face before he gently wiped his parents tombstones with his sleeves and said, "Dad, Mom, I cannot stay with you for too long this time. However, you can rest assured that I will surely cand visit you every year in the future H After he was done speaking, Charlie sighed before he helped Yule up and said, "Uncle Golding, let's go." Yule nodded slightly before he helped his wife up.

Charlie put on his sunglasses and mask again before he walked down the steps slowly with Yule and his family of three.
