The Amazing Son-in-Law, Chapter 1221

Charlie Wade reflected on his meeting with Jasmine, finding it remarkably serendipitous. Without his trip to the antique store with Jacob Wilson, he wouldn't have acquired the Apocalyptic Book. Without the book, he would simply be Mr. Wade, not Master Wade. He preferred the latter title, earned through his own efforts, unlike "Mr. Wade," which represented his family's legacy, not his personal achievements. He felt their connection, and his connection to the book, was fated.

Turning to Jasmine, he said solemnly, "They say acquaintance is fate; many things are predetermined."

Jasmine blushed, whispering, "Master Wade, you mean we're destined to be together?"

"Yes," Charlie smiled. "It takes a hundred years to cultivate a relationship on the same boat, but that's just acquaintance. Friendship requires far more."

Jasmine nodded softly. "Master Wade, you're always so mysterious. Does an expert like you believe in fate?"

Charlie smiled. "I didn't, but experiences have changed my mind." He waved a hand. "Let's move on. You're now Matriarch of the Moore family. What are your plans?"

Jasmine replied seriously, "Many are unconvinced. I need time to solidify my position and then lead the family forward. If I can bring rapid development and increased wealth, I believe they'll support me."

Charlie nodded. "That's right. Most people want more money." He added, "This is a good opportunity for the Moores. The Webb family's decline leaves the top position in Southaven open."

Jasmine agreed, "I plan to expand the family business and seek new partners."

"Need any help?" Charlie asked.

Jasmine quickly responded, "Master Wade, you've helped me so much already. If you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope to repay your kindness!"

Charlie smiled. "No need to repay. If I need your help, I won't hesitate to ask."

Jasmine nodded. "Understood, Master Wade."

Charlie hummed. "Jasmine, give your grandfather the rejuvenating pill. He'll be delighted."

"I will!" Jasmine replied.

Charlie glanced at the time. "It's late. Lord Moore must be waiting."

Jasmine felt sad. She'd never had such a private moment with Charlie, especially in her favorite place. She longed to hold his hand and express her feelings, but remembering he was married, she suppressed the urge. She softly said, "Let's go back, Master Wade."

As they returned to the stone steps, Jasmine's heart fluttered, wondering if he would take her hand again. She enjoyed the feeling of being led by him.

Genuine happiness is possible. Because the steps were steep, Charlie naturally offered his hand, saying, "Let me help you up."

Jasmine, shy and excited, readily accepted his hand. She followed him, step by step.

Back in the car, Jasmine's face was still flushed, her heart racing. Nervously starting the car, she said, "Master Wade, I'll take you home now."

Charlie nodded. They crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at Thompson First Villa District.

After stopping, Charlie said, "Thank you for the ride."

Jasmine quickly replied, "Master Wade, you're too kind."

"Drive safely," he said.

"Yes," she nodded reluctantly. As he reached for the door, she spoke, "Master Wade, wait."

He paused, asking, "What is it?"

Jasmine shyly said, "I have a gift for you."

Charlie smiled. "It's your birthday, why are you giving me a gift?"

Jasmine twisted, "It's special. I've wanted to give it to you, but never had the chance."

Charlie nodded. "Then I thank you in advance."

Jasmine shyly requested, "To maintain the mystery, please close your eyes, Master Wade."

He complied, thinking it a typical girlish ritual. A moment later, he felt soft lips on his. They were sweet, lingering on his. Startled, he opened his eyes to see Jasmine's beautiful eyes close to his.

He hadn't expected her kiss He instinctively wanted to pull away, but hesitated. This internal conflict prevented any immediate action. Jasmine kissed him actively for a full minute

The Amazing Son-in-Law, Chapter 1223

Charlie was surprised by Jasmine's initiative. While a respected figure, he lacked experience with women. His closest contact had been a light kiss with his wife, Claire. Jasmine's kiss was far more intense, leaving him feeling softer.

He was flustered, unsure how to react. Jasmine, perhaps exhausted from leaning across the console to kiss him, blushed and sat back. Her face was crimson, even her ears were red. She avoided his gaze, staring at the steering wheel, nervous and unsure. Charlie felt equally nervous. An awkward silence followed.

Jasmine broke the silence, whispering, "Master Wade, it was a moment of excitement. Please forgive me if I offended you."

Charlie cleared his throat, awkwardly saying, "Jasmine" He hesitated, not wanting to hurt her. He sighed, "Jasmine, I'm married, you know."

Jasmine nodded, whispering, "I've heard about you and your wife." She looked at him, saying seriously, "Charlie Wade, I love you, and I sincerely want to be with you. I know it's unethical, but everyone has the right to pursue love."

Charlie said, "You're a good girl, but I'm married."

Jasmine stubbornly replied, "I heard your marriage to your wife of over three years isn't real. It was arranged by your wife's grandfather. I don't understand why you maintain a loveless marriage for so long." She became agitated, her eyes reddening. "I've felt sorry for you since we met. Aurouss Hill sees you as a dragon, but I don't understand why, with your abilities, you'd become a son-in-law in a loveless marriage."

Charlie replied sadly, "Claire is kind to me. How can I leave her because of my abilities?"

Jasmine burst into tears. "What your wife can give you, I can give you; what she can't, I can."

Turning to look at Charlie, she emotionally cried, "Charlie Wade, if you accept me, I'll give up myself and the entire Moore family. I'll become part of the Wade family. I want nothing else; I just want to be your lover and serve you. I'll travel with you, bear your children—anything for your happiness."

Charlie was touched. Jasmine was exceptionally beautiful and possessed a charming personality. Her aristocratic upbringing and abilities made her an ideal partner. Even Eastcliff's elite families couldn't produce such a woman. It was a blessing she liked him. But he was married, and his feelings for Claire were deep. He couldn't leave her. Seeing Jasmine cry, however, he couldn't bear it. He didn't want to hurt either woman, leaving him in a dilemma.

Jasmine looked at him expectantly. After two or three minutes of silence, he sighed, "Jasmine, I appreciate your feelings, but I can't leave Claire. Please forgive me."

Jasmine's tears returned. Her red eyes stared at him affectionately. "It doesn't matter, Charlie Wade. I'll wait forever."

Charlie sighed, "Why waste your youth on me? There are better men. Don't jeopardize your happiness."

"No," she said firmly, "There's no one better. I'm stubborn; once I like someone, it never changes." She showed an old bracelet her mother had left her. "There are more beautiful, luxurious bracelets, but I only like this one. I'll never give up."

Charlie said sincerely, "Jasmine, you're 26, at the perfect age to marry. You should find a husband. It's not worth pinning your heart on a married man like me."

Jasmine blurted out, "I'm willing to wait!"

Charlie sighed, "Wait for what? My divorce? What if I never divorce?"

Jasmine stubbornly repeated, "I'm willing to wait!"

Charlie helplessly asked, "Even if I divorce, would you, Miss Moore, marry a twice-divorced man? Won't people laugh at you?"

Jasmine shook her head, "I don't care! As long as you don't dislike me, I'm not afraid to be your lover! Even if the world judges me, I don't care!"

The Amazing Son-in-Law, Chapter 1225

Charlie felt helpless. He hadn't expected her devotion or stubbornness. He didn't want to hurt her, but he couldn't mislead her either. Her deep love for him created a responsibility, but he knew feelings couldn't be resolved overnight.

He tried to persuade her, "Let's talk about this later. Give each other time."

Jasmine nervously asked, "You won't avoid me? Alienate me?"

Charlie smiled, "Why? I'm not that kind of person. Just because you like me doesn't mean I'll avoid you."

Jasmine sighed in relief. "I'm prepared to wait a long time. Ten years, twenty years—it's not long. I only ask that you don't deliberately avoid me. Even if you don't like me, treat me as a friend."

Charlie said seriously, "Don't worry. We'll remain as we were."

Jasmine nodded gently.

Charlie sighed, "It's late. I have to go home. You should go too."

Jasmine hummed. "Goodnight, Charlie Wade. Thank you for today and the rejuvenating pill!"

Charlie smiled and waved, "You're welcome. I'll go now. Drive carefully."

As he opened the door, Jasmine stopped him, "Charlie Wade!"

He turned, "What is it?"

Jasmine blushed, shyly saying, "It was my first kiss."

Even Charlie blushed. He hadn't realized she was a virgin and had given him her first kiss. He felt conflicted, silent for a moment, then sincerely said, "Thank you."

Jasmine smiled sweetly and shyly. "Charlie Wade, I'll leave now."

"Yes."
