Chapter 7199
Jeremiah himself had been dreaming of taking a Rejuvenation Pill, but he had only gotten half of it at an auction despite staying on his best behavior around Charlie for so long.And he was already so old!On the other hand, Yule and Rachel were only in their fifties. What right did they have to get a full pill each?It was so unfair and unnecessary! It was as though he were a starving man, but Charlie only made sure his stomach was half full.On the other hand, Yule and Rachel never had to go hungry, yet Charlie stuffed them silly anyway!The thought left him moody, but he would never dare let it show in front of Charlie, instead smiling and greeting Yule and Rachel. "Oh, you kids really are in such good health—you're more like teenagers than a middle-aged couple."Carmen was envious too, hurrying to smile at Rachel, "Come, Rachel—what's your secret? You have to share it with me… I've spent a lot on health cosmetics myself, but it's a far cry from the results you're getting."
Chapter 7198
In the afternoon, Charlie and Quinn's family arrived at the Wades' residence.Carmen, Charlie's aunt, had been working hard the whole day for dinner.Ever since Charlie had defeated Porter Waldron on Mount Wintry, Carmen had constantly been trying to mend things with her nephew.That was why she worked extra hard today, as today was the perfect opportunity to show that she had turned over a new leaf.She was all the more prouder as she was the only one of Jeremiah's children invited to dinner.If she solidified her status amongst the rest of her siblings, who knew if Charlie would afford her more respect and resources.After all, Charlie had made it very clear that he was totally disappointed in his uncles and cousins, and it presented Carmen with an opportunity to establish herself.For Jeremiah's part, he was used to spoiling his daughter.While he was no longer the head of the family, he was still keen to help Carmen rise.Still using the rented MPV, Charlie arrived with Qu

Yule and Rachel traded glances, their eyes wide in excitement as they took the pills at the same time.They were a happy couple, and taking a Rejuvenation Pill each meant they'd spend decades more in each other's company.Their appearances changed dramatically right after they took the pills, too.While Rachel had always maintained her beauty and looked hardly fifty, she was now positively radiant with the Rejuvenation Pill. Her youthful appearance made her look closer to Quinn, too, and they looked more like sisters.Most importantly, they felt as though they had shed dozens of pounds. Aging was inevitable considering their years, and it always felt like rolling down a downhill slope. But with the Rejuvenation Pill, they seemed to be twenty years younger, their creaky joints and difficulty in moving fading right away.And it was so obvious in Rachel that Yule was gaping at his wife, not knowing that he had suddenly transformed into looking thirtyish, too.Just seeing each other'

Rachel and Yule were naturally shocked that Quinn would call the Rejuvenation Pills Charlie's dowry, while Charlie also felt a little embarrassed.But in this situation, he knew he shouldn't say anything, let alone correct Quinn.If he kept quiet, Rachel and Yule would take the Rejuvenation Pills without qualms, and everything would be more or less resolved for now.Naturally, Charlie intended to keep dragging this engagement issue as long as he could, just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.After all, he had no reasonable solution aside from avoidance.As Yule and Rachel watched Charlie stay silent, they were more or less content—they understood Charlie's mindset and circumstances, and that it'd be coercion if they tried to make him openly agree to marry Quinn.Charlie's offering of the Rejuvenation Pills as a dowry offered a neutral stance, and it was already good enough for them.Seeing that her parents were easing up, Quinn pressed, "The pills are a gesture of Cha

Of course, there was the option of cosmetic surgery, but such things would never last long, and the side effects were permanent. It was why people always pointed out permanent disfigurement as a reason not to do it.On the other hand, Charlie's Rejuvenation Pill could make her younger by at least twenty years, making it the best cosmetic surgery bar none.Still, Rachel played it cool at the thought that the pills were worth trillions. It was so expensive that just yearning for it could well be considered overstepping.Yule shook his head as he said, "I'm already exceedingly grateful that you came to save my life before, Charlie… How could we take something so precious on top of that? Just save them for yourself, and I'm sure you can use them in the future!"Charlie shook his head, his tone solemn. "The Rejuvenation Pill is only expensive because of scarcity. After all, there was just one available at that auction, so it was only natural that the price inflated so ridiculously."No

Lunch at the Goldings' was scrumptious, with many rare food ingredients that Yule was usually reluctant to eat himself, and Charlie had never encountered them before.Rachel was smiling at Charlie, having taken a great liking to her future son-in-law, no matter how much she looked at him.She would urge him to eat, encouraging Quinn to put more food on Charlie's plate.While Charlie was worried that Yule and Rachel would mention Quinn's engagement or having children, he was surprised neither of them said a word.While he felt relaxed thanks to that, he soon felt disappointed in himself.It was precisely because they weren't pressuring him that he could feel how understanding and accommodating they were to him.And being a man who always repaid his debts, directly pressuring him would have been a mercy.Hence, while they were idly chatting around the table after lunch, Charlie took out two Rejuvenation Pills and gave one to Yule and Rachel each."This is a little gesture of my s
