Chapter 5772
Although traveling at the speed of nearly a thousand kilometers per hour was already very fast, it still made Fleur anxious.Ever since her master's portrait was revealed in Aurous Hill, her mentality had shattered. She completely lost the composure expected of a four-hundred-year-old woman.She looked at the flight navigation chart in front of her alone, stared at the altitude and speed data, and couldn't help but mutter angrily, “The faster modern technology develops, the more these bastards become greedy. Back in the day, the Concorde aircraft could fly over two thousand kilometers in an hour. Now, airplanes can't even reach one thousand, and those that can don't have long enough range! It's infuriating!”A crew member, upon seeing her frustration, quickly approached and respectfully said, “British Lord, calm down. This segment of the journey is too far. Even if we had a Concorde aircraft, it would struggle. Its maximum range is only five to six thousand kilometers. The Concorde

“What did you say?!” Fleur erupted in anger at that moment.Having lived for four hundred years, she had ignored almost everything in the last three hundred years. In these three hundred years, he was the first person to dare to say that he would chop off her head.When Zekeiah, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Fleur's angry shout, he was instantly frightened out of his wits, and he quickly bowed on the other end as he apologized, saying, “British Lord, forgive me. I was only repeating his words and did not intend any disrespect…”Although Fleur knew that Zekeiah was just repeating the words to her, she still felt a raging fury in her heart.Zekeiah was afraid that Fleur's anger would not subside, so he quickly added, “British Lord, I am willing to share your worries and personally go to Aurous Hill on your behalf. At that time, I will do my best to find out who that mysterious person is!”Fleur said coldly, “If you go now, you will be walking right into a trap.”Zeke

Charlie pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he still held back.Although these four elderly people’s ages added up to nearly four hundred years, they had always regarded Vera's words as their guiding principles. It was no exaggeration to say that Vera was their life mentor. They believed and did whatever Vera said and asked them to do. So, if what he said contradicted Vera's words, they would definitely choose to listen to Vera.Charlie was helpless and could only let the old lady kneel down and thank him. After she got up, Charlie spoke up and said, “By the way, has Miss Lavor come down yet?”Logan said, “Mr. Wade, Miss has given us instructions to lead you to her courtyard first when you arrive.”Charlie thought they were in a hurry and that Vera would come down and they would then go to the airport together. He didn't expect Vera to want him to go up. However, he didn't have any other thoughts or opinions. If Vera wanted him to go up, he would go up.He then bowed

Charlie thought, ‘What help do I need to change clothes for? I'm not disabled.’However, he still smiled and said, “Okay, I'll go up first.”Vera’s bedroom was upstairs. The same faint fragrance as Vera’s permeated the room, making him feel slightly dizzy. Charlie subconsciously recalled the experience of being helped onto the bed by Vera when he was seriously injured, and he could not help but feel a strange sensation in his heart. However, he didn't dare to think too much and quickly took out the clothes Vera had prepared for him to change into.As he took out the clothes, he realized that Vera had prepared matching couple outfits for them. The clothes in Charlie's hands were an oversized Gucci T-shirt, classic LV-printed shorts, and the same Hermes slippers. It seemed that Vera wanted them to disguise themselves as a couple when they went to Yorkshire Hill.Charlie didn't think much about it. A man and a woman going out together disguised as a couple seemed more reasonable.

Charlie's words made Vera's eyebrows twitch involuntarily. She seemed to understand something but deliberately didn't ask further. Instead, she put this matter aside and smiled at Charlie, saying, “Young Master, since you can't make up your mind, let me take charge of this matter.”After saying that, she tilted her head for a moment, then said, “If it were ancient times, I would definitely call you ‘sweetheart’. But now, no one uses that term anymore, and since we are pretending to be a couple rather than husband and wife, how about I call you ‘darling’, and you call me 'darling' as well?”After saying this, Vera breathed rapidly. She was blushing as she watched Charlie, afraid he would refuse or be displeased.Charlie didn't think much of it. They were pretending to be a couple, after all, and they were even wearing couple outfits. It was normal for the terms of endearment to be a bit cheesy. Besides, if they were a couple, it didn't seem appropriate to call each other by their nam

At this moment, Vera wore a shy smile on her face, reminiscent of a young girl. It was evident that she was in extremely high spirits as she walked beside Charlie. Her eyes occasionally stole glances at Charlie, but each time, it was just a brief glance, not daring to stare for long. Every time she looked, her eyes would curve up like the willow leaves swaying in the wind, truly embodying a breathtaking beauty.However, the Vera they remembered was always carefree, playful, and sometimes domineering, but never shy or timid. They never associated her with the words ‘shy’ and ‘timid’.Now, they finally realized that Vera also had such a girlish and shy side.Logan watched Vera walking toward them from a distance and couldn't help but sigh with a smile, “If Miss were to wear a wedding dress or a traditional outfit, she would be even more beautiful, wouldn't she?”Emmett waved his hand solemnly and said, “No, she still looks quite young. Nowadays, girls get married in their twenties

Vera couldn't help but ask him angrily, “Shouldn't you call me 'darling' as well?”Charlie coughed twice and asked her, “There's no one else here. Do you really want me to call you that?”Vera felt aggrieved and said, “We agreed on this earlier…”Charlie immediately said seriously, “Alright, I'll keep my promise.”After adjusting himself, he said, “Darling, we'll reach the airport in half an hour.”Vera smiled sweetly and said, “Got it. Thank you, darling!”Vera, who was satisfied, couldn't help but notice Charlie's left hand on the steering wheel, and she curiously asked, “Darling, didn't you wear the ring I gave you when you came out?”Charlie casually replied, “Why would I wear it? The ring recognizes your father as its owner, not me. If we encounter danger together, it will still teleport me to you. If we really meet Fleur, wouldn't that be like a bug getting stuck, unable to escape her grasp? It would be like giving her the ring for nothing. So, it's better not to wear it.”
Chapter 5779
A trendy and stylish couple dressed in high-end fashion walked hand in hand through the VIP passage to complete their boarding process. They then held hands and boarded the airport's business car reserved for VIPs.To outsiders, these two must be lovers who were rich heirs. Not only were they dressed in high-end brands, but they also seemed to have spent hundreds of thousands on private charters for their trips.However, this was just the best disguise for Charlie and Vera.With Charlie's current appearance, no one would doubt he was just twenty years old. Even if he bumped into acquaintances, they wouldn't recognize him.As the two boarded the plane, the crew guided them to the spacious cabin. Vera completely ignored the first two independent first-class seats and held Charlie's hand as she walked toward the back and said coquettishly, “Darling, I want to sit with you.”There were side-by-side double seats at the back with no armrest in between, just like a standard double sofa s
