Master Charlie Was Tricked By A Woman

Chapter 173: The Farewell Ceremony



Mullen was discharged after a three-day stay. On the day he was discharged, York Charlie and Blanche Capra came to pick him up. The three of them had lunch at an outside restaurant and then took him to an amusement park.

Throughout the afternoon, Blanche Capra ran after the active Mullen, while York Charlie watched. Blanche Capra saw the couples in the amusement park, and suddenly stood still for a while in a daze.

Carousel, roller coaster, pirate ship, Ferris wheel …

One by one, happy and elated faces came and went before her eyes, and Blanche Capra couldn’t help but think of the last time she had been here, not in her childhood a long, long time ago, or when she and York Charlie were still together, but in the initial year when she had come back from the dead, with a different identity and a different face.

I don’t know what drove her, but by the time she reacted, she was standing underneath a tall Ferris wheel. Then she bought the ticket alone, waited alone, sat on it alone, rose and fell alone, saying her final goodbye to her past self, the one who was attached to and dependent on York Charlie.

That was the only time she allowed herself to let go of her reasoning, to let her heart, which was full of fatigue and no lack of attachment to the past, to come out and show its face, to get some air, and then … to seal it up completely.

Tears, dried by the wind.

She completely decided to take revenge.

But now she is ridiculously deeper and deeper, so deep that even the hatred has persuaded itself to put it down. What grudge, what past, let it all go –

She was too tired to really carry it now.

“What’s wrong?” A voice suddenly rang in her ear, low, mellow, soft, the voice of the one she knew best.

Blanche Capra felt a hand with a touch of warmth caress her face, and then he moved his thumb and brushed it across the corner of her eye: as if, to wipe away her tears.

Blanche Capra sniffled before realising that she had unknowingly shed a tear. Her eyes rippled with tears in the light, and York Charlie watched thoughtfully, as if guessing at her thoughts.

Blanche Capra reached for his hand on her face and then dropped down to hold it as she shook his hand and smiled, “Shall we go sit on that?”

York Charlie looked up to see a huge wheel of Ferris wheels blooming like one of the roundest and brightest fireworks in the festive night sky not far away.

Because of Mullen’s presence, Blanche Capra, York Charlie and Mullen went to ride the Ferris wheel together, Mullen was the first time to ride it, he looked and acted very excited, grasping on the glass and watching with wide eyes, especially when it rose to the highest point, Mullen, the child also screamed with excitement.

Blanche Capra watched with a big smile on her face, and her eyes would end up on York Charlie’s face. At this time York Charlie, I do not know whether it is the gentle night, or the atmosphere is harmonious, his entire face lines are much softer, his eyebrows and eyes gently looking at her, the frost and snow accumulated in the body over the years, seems to have been dispersed at that moment.

The two looked at each other as if time had turned back, and everything had gone back to the old days.

Blanche Capra realised that: no matter how much she denied it: she was still the same Brandi, except that now she had something more than Brandi, and some of the original would seem less because of the extra.

There was really nothing intrinsically different about people, just the amount of it.

This night, this time, was another farewell. Blanche Capra thought silently in her heart, hoping that this time, going with her heart, whatever she wanted to say goodbye to could really be said goodbye.

That night, the three of them returned to York Charlie’s house, and Blanche Capra accompanied Mullen to sleep together. Because they had so much fun today, Mullen was too excited to sleep.

“Is it true that tomorrow, my brother and sister are going to send me to the orphanage?” After talking for a while, Mullen suddenly said to Blanche Capra.

Blanche Capra froze, what she had been hesitating to say on the edge of her mouth, Mullen, a child of how old he was, was so sensitive that he guessed it himself. She stroked his head, “Well. It’s the only place where you can grow up healthy and happy.”

Knowing it was his last night of goodbyes, Mullen still reddened, tears welling up in his eyes, “Is it really that good there?”

“Really,” Blanche Capra nodded her head vigorously, “You believe me. As long as you’re genuine with everyone, it’ll be just like your own family.” She also hoped that her assurances would be a fact, and that she wanted Mullen to grow up healthy and happy there.

“We’ll come visit you.” She added.

Mullen slumped up, without the excitement he had before, little kids being little kids and falling asleep easily. And after all, they were small children, so no matter how precocious they were, they weren’t immune to the emotions they were supposed to feel.

Before facing the unknown, anyone would be uneasy.

Before facing the separation, everyone will be reluctant to let go.

The next day, York Charlie drove Mullen to the orphanage with Blanche Capra, who comforted him until she handed him over to the director of the orphanage.

She was a kind and affectionate middle-aged woman.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

When the two of them got back into the car, York Charlie saw the worry on her face and spoke, “Don’t worry, it’s really nice here, and the director is very nice. In the future, we can come visit him once in a while too.”

Blanche Capra nodded and gave him a smile.

The house just doesn’t seem to be as lively without Mullen. It wasn’t that York Charlie and Blanche Capra didn’t get along well, but both of them had quieter personalities, so it wasn’t as lively as it was when Mullen was around. At first Blanche Capra finds it hard to get used to the fact that her life seems to be quiet again, including the fact that Mrs. Casey doesn’t bother her anymore, and even Shireen Miller hasn’t been around for a while.

Blanche Capra didn’t know why, and was a little puzzled. But she didn’t think much of it, and in the midst of all this quiet life, there was the baby in her belly that worried her. It had been several months pregnant, but it didn’t show much. And there were times when she had inexplicable stomach pains. The vomiting seemed trivial.

But Blanche Capra kept it a secret from York Charlie. The usual checkups didn’t show anything else. Except: the risk of her getting pregnant, that nagging reason for Blanche Capra and York Charlie.

Unbeknownst to Blanche Capra, Shireen Miller is out to get her. But ever since the last time she was intent on running her over with her car and pretending it was an accident, only for York Charlie to show up and make her run away in a hurry, Shireen Miller has been in a state of weakness. She knew that York Charlie was just too smart, she didn’t know how far he would see things, or … would he have already found out that it was her?

Because of this incident, she was afraid to make any other move easily. Also, she was finding it harder and harder for her to see Blanche Capra, she couldn’t get close to her unless she deliberately planned it.

This, on the other hand, made Shireen Miller feel that York Charlie was guarding her, so Shireen Miller was even more afraid to make a move. In this way, Blanche Capra’s life was indeed quiet for a month.
