The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 33

Charlie felt a wave of happiness as he heard his wife speak. It seemed that the place he had chosen would undoubtedly delight her on their wedding anniversary!

The two settled into their reserved seats in the sky garden and it wasn’t long before Loreen arrived.

“Claire!”

“Loreen!”

The two friends embraced with joy, their happiness overwhelming.

Afterward, they held hands and reminisced about the past for quite a while before gradually settling down.

Loreen remarked, “Claire, you’re too extravagant! You actually chose to dine in the sky garden!”

Claire smiled and replied, “Well, you’re here! I suppose I’ll have to splurge a little!”

Loreen giggled, “Only you could be my best friend!”

Claire continued, “To be honest, I feel a bit unworthy to order food here. I had to ask Doris, the vice chairwoman of Emgrand Group, to help me secure this reservation. I used her membership card!”

Loreen sighed, “The requirements to dine at the Sky Garden must be quite high. Don’t you have to be a diamond member or something?”

“Exactly.” Claire nodded and added, “Honestly, this is my first visit!”

Loreen grinned and said, “Thank you so much, my dear Claire!”

Then she mentioned, “By the way, as soon as I arrived, I saw a notice outside saying the Sky Garden would be reserved for three days.”

“Yes.” Claire acknowledged, “It’s strange. The Sky Garden has never accepted reservations before. I’m not sure what’s going on this time.”

Loreen nodded and explained, “Not long ago, there was this incredibly wealthy individual from Aurous Hill who made headlines on TikTok. He reportedly bought a necklace along with over a dozen Rolls-Royces, surrounded by men in black and more than ten million in cash. Did you see that video?”

Charlie shook his head, while Claire said, “I did see it. It was quite the spectacle.”

Loreen added, “Everyone is curious about who he is.”

Claire responded, “What’s there to speculate about…”

Loreen laughed and said, “It’s gossip! People are eager to know who would be so extravagant. Some say it must be the new chairman of Emgrand Group.”

Charlie’s expression momentarily showed surprise, but it quickly returned to normal.

Loreen continued, “Today, the Sky Garden at Shangri-La is booked again. I have a feeling the person who reserved it is likely the one who purchased the jade in that video.”

Claire sighed, “It’s been so long since we last met, and you’re still as gossipy as ever!”

Loreen chuckled, “Gossip is the lifeblood of women!”

At this, Loreen added, “I’m coming back in three days to see who has enough clout to reserve the Sky Garden!”

Charlie, who was listening quietly, felt overwhelmed at her words.

His intent was simply to surprise his wife and make up for the wedding he never fulfilled that year.

Yet, he hadn’t anticipated that the reservation would draw so much attention.

It seemed he had underestimated the allure of the Sky Garden.

Many people in Aurous Hill were likely thinking the same thing as Loreen – they all wanted to see who booked the Sky Garden.

This posed a bit of a challenge.

He would need to notify Isaac Cameron ahead of time and prepare thoroughly. There was no way he could reveal his identity.

During their meal, Loreen turned to them and said, “While I’m here in Aurous Hill, I’ve also arranged to meet some of our former classmates. They mentioned wanting to hold a reunion. What do you both think?”

Charlie immediately responded, “If there’s a class reunion, I won’t be attending.”

“Why not?” Loreen asked. “Even though we haven’t been classmates for four years, we shared a year of friendship!”

When Charlie was taken in by the elder from the Wilson family, the old man had sent him to Aurous Hill University to be in the same class as Claire for their senior year so they could get to know each other.

After graduating that year, they married right away.

However, Charlie had only been classmates with those people for a year, and most of them had looked down on him, so he wasn’t particularly interested in the reunion.

Claire also had no desire to attend and said, “Charlie and I won’t go. I haven’t kept in touch with most of my classmates since graduation.”

Loreen quickly explained, “The main reason for this reunion is that Douglas Adams from our class is opening a restaurant, and it launches tomorrow. He’s inviting everyone to come support him and enjoy a meal together.”

She added, “It’s a great opportunity for him. It wouldn’t feel right not to attend, right?”

Just then, the three of them received WeChat notifications.

Many messages flooded their phones.

They pulled them out to find that Douglas had created a group for their classmates, which quickly reached over thirty members.

Douglas wrote in the group, “Hey everyone! The small restaurant I’ve invested in opens tomorrow at noon in Aurous Hill. Please come to support it and treat it like a reunion!”

“It just so happens that Loreen, one of the two golden girls from our class, is also in Aurous Hill. She’ll be at the gathering too. I hear she’s still single, so the bachelors better take their chances!”

Immediately, replies poured in.

“Wow! Congrats!”

“Oh, Loreen is coming to Aurous Hill? I hadn’t heard! I’ll definitely be there!”

“What about Claire, the other beauty in our class? Is she coming?”

“I heard Claire is with Charlie, the transfer student who joined our class later. I heard he married into the Wilson family!”

“I heard that too, but I don’t know if it’s true. I haven’t seen them since graduation…”

“I’ve heard they’re just pretending to be a couple, just for appearances. Not sure if that’s true though.”

Seeing those comments, Claire turned to Charlie and said, “Don’t let it bother you.”

Charlie smiled lightly and said, “It’s fine; they’re just stating the facts. I’m used to it.”

Loreen quickly interjected in the group, “Stop gossiping about them! I’m having dinner with the couple right now! They’re so in love!”

“Oh, it’s Loreen!”

A swarm of admirers quickly clustered around her.

At that moment, someone tagged Charlie in the group – it was the group leader, Douglas. “Charlie, even if you were only in our class for a short time, we got along well during our school days. You and your wife have to be there tomorrow!”

Charlie had a good impression of Douglas. He was genuinely friendly and considerate toward everyone, unlike others who might mock others casually; he was one of the few classmates Charlie appreciated.

Seeing Douglas’s message, Charlie promptly replied, “Sure, I’ll definitely go to show my support tomorrow.”

Douglas instantly responded, “That’s great! We’re going to have an amazing gathering tomorrow!”
