Although Charlie had been through a lot of hardships over the years, Charlie could be considered to have led a carefree life with no worries about having no food or clothing because of Stephen's secret protection when he was still in the orphanage. It was only that his material conditions were simply a little tougher.
Still, Charlie would never have thought that Quinn and her family were sparing no efforts in order to find out about his whereabouts during these years when he was going through all these hardships. Charlie already felt very moved simply because of this goodwill alone. He did not know how to repay them, not to mention how Quinn had been loyally abiding by their marriage contract on her own for so many years.

After all, he also had Claire, who had been married to him for four years and had never once thought about leaving him before.

It is already the end of winter now, so there is no need to keep the heater on." Charlie said, "It would be better to keep it on. It's easy to catch a cold during this season. So, it would be much better for us to keep the heater on in the house." Claire did not insist anymore. Instead, she looked at Charlie and asked with concern, "Husband, why do I feel that you seem to have something on your mind? Did you encounter any trouble?" "No," Charlie said against his will. "But I will have to make a trip to Eastcliff somewhere during the Tomb Sweeping Festival because I have to attend a Feng Shui reading business. A big family wants to askto go over there to help them take a look at the Feng Shui of their ancestral grave. However, it seems to be a little tricky, and I was just thinking about how I should deal with it." 2 The reason why Charlie had said this was because, on one hand, he did not want Claire to think too much. On the other hand, he also wanted to prepare Claire in advance, and so, he was informing her that he would be going to Eastcliff during the Tomb Sweeping Festival.
