The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5570

After Claudia pushed the bedroom door open, Charlie saw Vera, who looked a little pale, frowning as she sat on the chair in front of the desk.

When Vera saw Charlie come in, she quickly stood up as she spoke a little awkwardly and weakly, “Mr. Wade, I’m really sorry to trouble you to come over so late at night…”

Charlie looked at Vera and said with a smile, “Miss Lavor, you don’t have to be so polite with me. It’s only right for me to come over since you’re Claudia’s roommate.”

Claudia hurriedly said, “Charlie, you don’t need to address Veron so formally. You can just call her Veron like I do.”

After saying that, she said to Vera, “Veron, Charlie is ten years older than me, and he’s almost eleven years older than you. You can just treat him like your brother and call him Charlie as well.”

Vera was slightly startled. She hesitated for a moment before she addressed Charlie in a somewhat reserved manner, “Charlie…”

Charlie smiled happily and said, “Since you’re already calling me Charlie, I won’t be so formal with you as well. Veron, Claudia told me that you have a severe headache. What’s going on? Can you tell me why you’re feeling unwell?”

When Vera heard this, she could not help but feel extremely aggrieved as she thought to herself, ‘Charlie, you’re such a bad person. You are the reason why I am having such a severe headache but you’re actually pretending not to know anything and you’re even asking me what’s going on. Don’t you know what’s going on?’

Although Vera felt aggrieved, she did not dare to expose anything in front of Charlie, so she could only pinch her temples with one hand and say with a look of misery, “I don’t know what happened. I was feeling fine, but I started having a headache out of nowhere on the day when I came to report to the university. It was a really terrible headache. It felt like countless needles were stuck in my brain and those needles were all connected in one line and there was a thread that was being pulled back and forth along that line. It was so painful that I felt as if my head was going to explode…”

After saying that, Vera added, “I’ve also taken a lot of painkillers over the past two days, but they have no effect on my headache at all. I even fainted after I went home.”
