Charlie could see that Claire still regarded Kathleen as a friend.
However, the huge disparity in their social status also made her feel a little discouraged.
Charlie understood this very well.
Moreover, Charlie did not really want his wife to get too close to Kathleen.
On one hand, Kathleen already knew his identity, so she might reveal clues about his identity to his wife if she got too close to Kathleen.
On the other hand, Kathleen was simply too smart. In contrast, in front of Kathleen, Claire was like an elementary school student who was facing a graduate student. One was too smart, and the other was too naïve. Compromising with the other party would definitely be exhausting.
Therefore, in Charlie’s opinion, it was best for the two of them to maintain this current state.
So, Charlie digressed and asked Claire, “Honey, what time does the graduation ceremony start in the evening?”
Claire said, “The graduation ceremony starts from around 5.00 pm to 5.30 pm.”
Charlie nodded and said, “Let’s pack up our luggage in the afternoon so that we can drive to New York in the morning tomorrow, then.”
“Okay!” Claire happily agreed and said joyfully, “We’ve been away for so long, so I really miss home! Dad also finished his exchange a few days ago and returned to Aurous Hill from South Korea. I don’t know how he’s doing at home alone these days. He doesn’t know how to cook either, so eating alone is also a problem for him.”
