The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1220

Charlie nodded and said, "Okay, but the staircase is quite steep, so be careful when you go down."

Jasmine shyly stretched out her tender hand to Charlie and said softly, "Master Wade, can you hold m y hand, please? I'm afraid that I will fall..."

Frankly, she wasn't afraid of falling. Instead, she wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Charlie.

Charlie took a glimpse at the stone staircase. It was indeed quite long and steep as it extended to the riverbank. Jasmine was a girl, and she was wearing a tight-fitting dress that limited her movements. It would be awful if she slipped and fell, so he took her delicate hand and led her carefully down the stone steps.

At this moment, there were only the two of them at the riverbank. Occasionally, a few ships with lights on it passed by the river, the sound of the rumbling diesel engines was very loud and noisy, but it didn’t create any noise pollution in the empty riverbank.

Charlie let go of Jasmine's hand when they arrived on the riverbank. He donned a warm smile as the cold breeze blew gently on his face and said, "Wow, this place is really nice."

Jasmine smiled timidly. She fiddled with her long black hair at her ear and said, "I loved coming here

when I was young. My dad was busy with work, so it was always my mom who brought me here every day." 1

Then, she gave a somewhat forlorn and sad sigh and continued, "At that time, my mom would drive me here, park the car at the same spot, and then take me down the same stone steps down here as she held my hand carefully, just like you did earlier." 6

Charlie nodded lightly.

He often thought of his parents when he was in the orphanage.

He wasn't as strong as he was now when he was young, so whenever he thought of them, he would hide under his blanket or in the secluded corner of the orphanage and cry. 8

As time went by, he slowly got used to the feelings and could control his emotions better.

Jasmine nodded her head gently, her pretty eyelashes fluttering as she said, "Master Wade, let’s take a walk along the river."

"Okay," Charlie agreed casually and strolled along the riverside with Jasmine by his side.

Jasmine giggled and said, "By the way, Master Wade, d o you still remember how we first met?"

Charlie laughed. "Of course! It was at Vintage Deluxe where my clumsy father-in-law broke one of your

antique vases by mistake." 6

Jasmine nodded and said, “At that time, I was shocked by your repairing method, wondering how could a young man like you master such a lost restoration technique. It was so good! But back then, never did I imagine that it was just the tip of the iceberg. I never thought that you would help me so much more later..."
