By this point, Marianne was already almost out of sight, but Charlie found that she was still standing in the same place even though everyone else had gotten on the plane.
Charlie turned back and looked for a long time before turning his head back.
Somehow, he always had a feeling of empathy for Marianne.
He knew that this beautiful girl who was envied by countless people in Hong Kong had actually lost all color in her life ever since the day her father had cheated on her mother.
Since then, in addition to facing her mother’s tears and grief every day, she had also had to accept the reality that her mother was seriously ill and her health was deteriorating.
After her mother’s death, although her father had given her a lot of material compensation, this compensation was basically a drop in the bucket compared to the blow caused by her mother’s death.
Therefore, Charlie knew that Marianne had not been happy all these years and was even living in nostalgia for her mother.
This also made Charlie feel a little more distressed for Marianne.
Kathleen noticed Charlie’s melancholic appearance, and she also felt somewhat depressed.
She always felt that she was not any worse compared to Marianne, and she was even much better compared to Marianne in some aspects. However, she did not understand why Charlie would pay so much attention to Marianne and was even feeling a little emotional even though he had only known Marianne for a few days. Kathleen could not understand why Charlie had never felt this way about her.
Kathleen sighed as she thought about this, and she did not forget to remind Charlie, “Mr. Wade, is it time for you to open and take a look at the gift that Miss Long gave you?”
“Oh, yes!” Only then did Charlie remember the gift.
So, he carefully placed the suitcase on his lap and opened it gently.
