Therefore, Charlie stopped pointing out this matter and instead, said with a smile, “Mrs. Lewis, Claire’s course in the United States has ended today, and we plan to return to Aurous Hill tomorrow. You, Stephanie, and Claudia should make some simple preparations to come to New York to meet us tomorrow.”
When Mrs. Lewis heard this, she could not help but say happily, “That’s great, Young Master. Stephanie has been talking to me about going back to Aurous Hill during this period of time.”
Charlie said with a smile, “That’s great. I was afraid that you’d be reluctant to part with the environment in Canada.”
Mrs. Lewis said very seriously, “Young Master, to tell you the truth, when a person grows older, no other place will be as good as home, not to mention how I can take care of those children after going back. I really can’t wait.”
“That’s good.” Charlie also heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “By the way, Mrs. Lewis, how are Stephanie and Claudia doing lately?”
Mrs. Lewis replied, “The two of them are still busy going to the supermarket every day. After what happened the last time, the relationship between the two of them has gotten closer, and they are just like sisters.”
Charlie asked, “Did Claudia show any reluctance or does she have any concerns about going to Aurous Hill?”
Mrs. Lewis thought for a while and said, “Claudia seems to be more optimistic and cheerful since you left. She is still looking forward to starting a new life in Aurous Hill. A place like Vancouver has too many bad memories for her, and the rainy season in Vancouver is really too long, which is relatively boring.”
With that said, Mrs. Lewis then added, “However, the only thing that she is still worried about is her parents and brother’s tombs. Stephanie promised Claudia that in the future, she would accompany her back every year during the summer vacation to pay her respects to her parents so she has nothing to worry about.”
“Okay.” Charlie felt a little relieved when he heard this.
Although he had not had much interaction with Claudia, he really sympathized with this girl’s life experience, especially when her entire family had died at the hands of her relatives. She has also had to endure humiliation and put on a fake scar on her face for people to see at the age of eighteen. It was impossible for an ordinary eighteen-year-old girl to have the intelligence and patience to put on a fake scar in front of people.
